Some of railroads, have long line other have mlnee, some havq have neither. both', and some This accounts for ths varying amount of the levies In the different districts and you can readily see that the highest levies will be found in the district that have the least ability to pay. At present no escape la possible from . the high levies that exist in many of the school dletrlcta. The Constitution pf the state will not permit the legislature to vote any money to the common schools, nor can the state provide, lnany way. more funde, even though such funds were available, for the elementary and high schools of the state. Ae long an this condition exists the local levies will remain high, because the districts are practically all bonded; tbe number bf children In tbe schools la Increasing; the assessed valuation of all real property Is decreasing; and, as we pointed out, more state old Is Impossible. This means that under present conditions the local school districts face a future without hope of relief. more About nine thousand children are enrolled In the schools of Utah today than ten years ago. Most of these are found Is the high schools where the young people of school age have gone after being forced out of their Jobe by the depression. Yet tbe schools are taking care of this added responsibility with a minion dollar lees revenue than was available ten years go. .

People go to Europe and come back more ignorant than before they left, because their already set opinions are confirmed and they come back having seen only what they were looking for. When we move around America have we eyes that see, and ears that hear, and hearts that Understand? Where in all the world can you discover such beauty as in America? Where can you discover such opportunities for culture, and development of heart and hand? Such industry? Such marvellous scientific research being done? But how many people there are who live a blind life within the brain, seeking the satisfactions of the senses, instead of the soul ; seeing the sordid things only because they lift not their hands in prayer or in other words never look up to the Giver of all these glorious and great gifts of a benificent Providence in this greatest of ail lands, endowed with freedom and liberty as no other land has ever been endowed. After we have discovered America for ourselves, may I suggest that each of us helps his neighbor to discover for himself his own land of Ameica. It will make the Utopia which so many envision across the sea, fade as does the nightmare of our childhood daya. For with the real discovery of America we climb to the stature of true citizenship. 7 Women's council oi Provo sponsoring eight Treasure Tours during the next five weeks; whlh offer an nmaslng opportunity to explore things unniual, artistic, unique, and stay at home in Provo while you do u.'
