It is truly ft grand sight to see the walls decorated with emblems of tbe work done by scholars. There are maps of ivery nation, specimens of penmanship, drawing, etc., and we do not thiok there has ever been a finer educational exhibit in Utah territory. It speaks well for Spanish Fork and our energetio teachers. We give below a resume of the work done during the last term, with the principals report to tho trustees of School District No. 2: y OIUMMAU DEPARTMENT, Jcs. A.

WRITING. for the purpose of divising tbe best means of conducting tho schools, formulating plung of study in conformity with the county plan, preparing a system of blackboard and band tactics, and also to discuss such measures as would tend to keep tbe schools in tbe van of educational progress. At the same time a course of study for tbe entire year was formulated and I am pleased to bo able to say that the teachers generally have studied with commendable zeal much to tho advantage of our schools, A brief outline of tho studies then adopted and sinco followed in our regular and special meetings which in all number ninety-simay be of some value : Fedngogics, reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, language lessons and gram ,mar, penmanship, geography and history and literature. Each week a set of questions was pro pared to be answered at tbe next; class exercises were conducted; methods of teaching were presented; lectures were occasionally given; discussions often awoke or rather increased the glowing interest and thus the attention ot tho teachers wfts constantly kept alert in the line of professional duty. Added to the work done by tho teach ers in a local capacity may be mentioned their' labors elsewhere. At the Summer Institute of teachers all the regular teachers weie present, some taking an active part while others critically ob served tbe proceedings, note book in baud, and received the benefits thereof. Again, at tho U. C. T. Association our teachers attended with praiseworthy reg ulHrity, always and invariably prepared In conclusion, the faculty of teachers acknowledge the substantial support Hnd kind treatment received from the trust ees, thank the county superintendent of schools for information, instruction and suggestion, and the peoplo of the dia trict generally for their co operation in matters educational.'

The committee on streets and alleys reported thnt they had expended the sum of $180.73 in grauding the streets and sidewalks, and asked that the amount be appropriated. Adopted, Bill of Thomas Davis, surveyor, for $0.50, for services rendered, was allowed and amount appropriated. The recorder stated to the council that Ids attention had been dailed to hacks running to and from the depot, stating that thero was bo ordinance licensing them, and that livery men claimed, inasmuch as they paid a license on their stables they were entitled to run hacks, aud that they should be protected. The city attorney stated to the council that under the new law passed by the last legislature, justices of the peace in first, second and third class cities were to receive a salary and the fees go to the treasury. Councilor Crecr spoke in regard to minors visiting pool halls. The three items above were referred to the committee on judiciary to frame new ordinances aud make all necessary amendments. The city attorney and recorder were employed to enquire into the amount 'of real estato owned by tho city, and to correct record of mayor's deeds and make a new record. The Primary association was granted permission to use the city hall square for a jubilee and picnic somejlay next week- Committee on streets and alleys asked for an extension of time to report on petition of II.

Councilor Creer spoke in regard to water from irrigated land running into the streets aud forming pools, which become stagnant and is one cause of sickness, and moved that the supervisor be instructed to see that the matter is at tended to and remedied. He thought the individuals using the water were responsible and not the city. Motion carried. Committee on printing stated that they had not investigated the bill of J. T. Jakemao, amounting to $35.00, sufficiently to report, and asked for an extension of timo. Granted until Saturday, June 25th. The fine of Joshua Brockbank, $3. was remitted and amount appropriated. Mr. Creer thought an ordinance was necessary in regard to outhouses, corrals, etc., cesspools being sunk into the ground six and eight feet, and the ground of this city being loese and gravelly the filth naturally seeps into wells and causes diseaso. Physicians say it is one cause of dephtheria and thnt it is a wonder we do not have moro of this diseaso than we do. Ho thought something should be done in the mater, at least until we have a system of sewerage or waterworks. Committee on public grounds were authorized to purchase a lawn mower for uso on the city ball square. Council adjourned until Saturday evening, Juno 25th, at 9 oclock. y pleas-urabl- o one-hal- h, TO CHICACO VIA PACIFIC.
