Show STREET CAR COMPLAINT. The complaint ot Principal Baton of i in Silt Lake High School against the service rendered by the street cars, emphasizes the general complaint against it. But In this case the complaint com-plaint comes home to the families who have children In attendance upon that sc hool, In a peculiarly emphatic way-It way-It Is a hardship which should certainly be abated, that the students at this school air compelled to undergo the neglect and discomforts which Princi-pay Princi-pay Eaton, points out as then- lot under present conditions of transportation. The vast majority of Hose pupila are d -pendent upon the Street car service tor getting to school In time In the morning, yet. as Principal Katon says, not enough cars are pro ided for them Ihere is no adjustable system of checks or transfers which allows them to use any accessible- line to reach school the cars are not heated or properly ventilated, venti-lated, there are r.o moic cais available than when the number Of pupils was but half the present numbei the result being that the boys and girls are compelled com-pelled to ride across the city -every morning, "packed one against the other like so many cattle." As to the Inattention Inatten-tion and discourtesy of the street-car Conductors and motormcn, that Is too common to call for comment. Principal Eaton's letter was ad-dr'-ssed to Superintendent D. H hris-tensen, hris-tensen, and in writing it the Principal had in view that the attention of the Board of Education might bis sought, and that that body might take the mailer up, and call for better service, more cars and a renovation of the transportation system fi the pupils so that they would not be treated llk- cat-llc cat-llc But wh-th-r the Koaid would ha e the temerity to assail the service of a company f which Joseph F. smith, President of the Mormon church, is president, is extremely doubtful. We should regard it as more llkslj that the Board would censure Principal Eaton for willing ihe letter, than that It would demand better service from President Joseph F Smith. " TIs tru-'tis tru-'tis true 'lis pity; and pity' lis 'Ms I rue." but the fat t i that the pn si nl I loai of Education wants nothing else In this world quite so much as to 1"' able willingly will-ingly and devotedly to fulfill President Presi-dent Smith's "counsel." and the very thought of finding fault with anything under his control or jurisdiction would cause cold shivers to creep up and down the spines of a majority of the members, that Is, supposing them to bo endowed with s spine that would support them In facing President Smith |
