The public has a lwrfect right to know exactly what everybody does, and the meetings of every branch of the city government ought to be 0en to the public. There Is no such thing as a private meeting (wsslble, and It Is far better to have meeting reported direct by the newsgatherers than to have reports made up from what may be told In pri- vate to the reporters after the meeting la held." The Ogden board of education has no "star chamber" sessions but reporters are asked not to print anything that might tend to reflect upon the ability or capacity of any teacher whose name might lie mentioned during the meeting. LOCAL NOTES. The prise offered by Mr. Coop, director of music, to the high school student passing the best examination In music at the January examination will be awarded on next Wednesday at the usunl music hour at the high school. It has been found quite difficult to determine to whom the reward should go. There are about twenty pupils whose papers show almost was equal merit. The examination most successful and was entirely satisfactory to Mr. Coop. The prise offered was a half year's scholarship at Mr. Coop's studio in either vocal or piano lessons. Or, as an alternative, a receipt for $40 for a certain number of lessons that might be transferred by the pupil receiving It to any person whom he or she might name. That the prise was considered a valuable one Is evidenced by the fact that competition was sharp and vigorous among the different members of a large class.
