concentrations.

Indorsing the campaign for an
elective school board. the school COM
mittee of the Chamber Of Commerce,
at a meeting today in the Homer

tant recommendations.
The first of these was for more
adequate buildings: second. substan-
tial increases in salaries of teachers:
third. a large number of additional
teachers; fourth, that the management
Of the schools be under business
manager. with force of clerks. and
fifth, a teachers retirement law.

overcrowded at the present time. NO
new buildings have been erected re-
Gently. it was stated with $1,000
pupils in the public schools at this
time, the situation will become much
more serious at the opening of the
new semester, when it is expected
that at least 5000 new pupils Will be
added to the rolls. Central High
School was cited as being especially

it was declared. II they are adequately
COMPENSATED. At least 132 additional
was shown. With the present scale
of teachers pay other occupations are
steadily drawing the teachers away
from the schools.
Believing that at present the teach
ers have enough to do without han
ding the business management of the
schools, the committee recommended
that a competent business man be
placed in charge, entirely separate
from the teaching staff. This official
would have a force of competent
clerks.
A retirement bill for teachers would
help solve the problem of obtaining
instructors. according to
the belief of the committee.

FAIR INTERESTING
Wednesday Afternoon Program
Put on as Per Schedule and
Trying Delays Were Avoided.

Wednesdays track program at the
state fair was as varied and thrilling
as the crowd was large and good ma
tured. The schedule was faithfully
adhered to and there was no trying de-
lay. The only exception to this was
when some broncho being saddled for
the bucking contests objected and
used up valuable time These little
objections were soon met, and the en-
tire program, band and quartet music,
races and exhibition riding, was
smoothly and creditably handled.
Entries in the cowgirls' bucking con-
test Wednesday were Lorena Trickey
OF Hi Rock. Kitty Canutt on Rawlins
Kid, and Ruth Roach on Watchme All
three easily kept their saddles In the
mems bucking, Henry Isabel on o. p
afforded the crowd a moment of an
xtety when the crazy little black threw
himself and his rider through the
fence in front of the band stand, but
no injury resulted.
Kid Wiseman on Governor Davis
Red Parker on General Pershing, Brien
Roach on Dun Gone and Henry Ben
ner on Kid Bell were the other buck
aroo contestants.
The one most popular entertainment
feature Wednesday was doubtless
Charles Twins rendition Of a song,
Alfalfa Hay" supported by the Salt
Lake Opera quartet. Second to this
In the appreciation of the crowd was
the singing of the quartet itself in
well selected program. The fancy
riding Of Mr.. and Miss McCleaver, the
trick riding of Harry Walters and Ruth

popular.
