Show VOL. 6. NO. 13. SPRING VI LLE, UTAH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 189G. PRICE- $2.00 PER YEAR. 1 Highest of all ia Leavening Power. ABSOLUTELY PURE OUtt CHILUUbS a.M) olU I'UUUC How ruany pec pie are there who realize the vast importance of properly pro-perly understanding this subject? The two are so closely interwoven that one cannot be considered without with-out the other; in fact, they are one and inseparable. What a grand thing it is to see a room full of bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked children, full of life and health, and tilled with an eagerness to learn more of the wonderful things Mother Nature has already begun to teach them outside of the schoolroom. In a room of forty children there are as many different natures and dispositions, dis-positions, and it makes one tremble to think of the grave responsibility that rests upon those who assume the position of trainer and guide to those young and susceptible minds. This responsibility rests not upon the teacher aloDe, but also upon the parent and hence it is of the utmost importance that perfect harmony should exist between parent aud teacher. In some few cases I have observed that this is not the case and the progress of the childred is hindered hin-dered by the influence that is sure to be felt by comiug iu contact with his teacher when he has heard something at borne that is not in favor of that teacher. I do not mean that these cases are numerous, and I hope the time may come when there will be perfect harmony between every parent, and teacher in our district as that is the only way in which the best results can be obtained. I think I can safely say tbit there is not one teacher in our district who 'is not thoroughly in love with his work, and they are working earnestly for the good of every child placed under un-der their care. Once every week they meet together aud discuss subjects that will tend to elevate and improve their school work, aud on these occasions occas-ions the parents wonld be more than welcome if they desired to come and satisfy themselves that the teachers are alive and seeking to improve themselves. Besides this, teachers are working privately on the all important im-portant subjectof child study in order that they may look into the child's mind intelligently and be able to use the method that is best adapted to each child, and that they may bring the proper influence to bear upon him to rightly develope his mind. Then there is the actual work of the child in the school room. How little the parents know of the nature of the child's school work and of the progress he is making. The only way to find this out is to come to the school and see the child at work. As far as my room is concerned I extend a cordial and hearty invitation to every one of the parents to come and spend as long a time as they like in noting our school work, and I am sure I voice the sentiments of every one of the teachers. I would be very much pleased if 1 could have one or two of my patrons iu the school room every day, as then I would know that they took an interest iu what we are doing and in this way they would help us more than they have any idea of. Try It, parents, and 6ee if your child will not love the school more If he knows that his parents are interested in it and give the teacher their hearty good will and support. I dearly love children, and the more I study them, the more I love them. I never have any trouble with my pupils; they are all ready and glad to serve me in any way. I hope the day is notfardis tant when there will be a strong bond of good feeling between parent and teachers, and our schools will be much better for it. I often thiuk of the beautiful poem on "Children given to us by that most sublime of all poets, "Longfellow." in which his master mind furnished the words which express the thoughts that should dwell in the heart of every true teacher of the sweet and dear little children. Come to me. O ye children ! And whisper In my eur What the birds and the winds are tinging In your sunny atmosphere. For what are all ourcontrlvlnsis, And the wUdom "f our books. When conmared with your caresses, And the gladness of your looks. Te are better thus all the ballads That ever were sung or said, For ye are the living poems While all tb rest am dead. A TEACHER. Latest U. S. Gov't Report j Powder About Voting. Editor Independent: I see in the last number of your paper you made some suggestions regarding re-garding voting which to many will be misleading. I refer to the voter making a sample ballot and taking it into the booth with him. If that is done it defeats t he very purpose for which the present system of balloting was adopted, for if an elector cannot read the names upon the ticket and has not brains enough to follow t he perfectly plain instructions given mi the ballot, he will not know enough to change the marking which some political boss has put upon the sample ballot for him to copy. Looking at it in this light your suggestion would infer either total ignorance or lack of judgment on the part of our voters. And you will hud also, that it, is against the law to take a marked ballot into the booth. One thing more, you advise the people to vote st raight party tickets. I take it that this election of all others Sis the one when voters should cast aside party feeling and vote their convict ions. "The time has come when men with hear ts and brains Must rise and take the misguided reins Of government, too lemtf left in the hands Of aliens and of lackeys. He who stands And sees this mighty vehicle of st ate Dragged through the mire to sonic ignoble fate. And makes not such bold protest as he can Is no American." T. R. K'ellv. resolutions of Respect.

Hrlglit sunny moments, too tuissrui to last; From t he dear cottage that stood by the wild- wooa. Where the sweet hours of our infancy past; All, all are gone as eviles we languish, Longing to meet with the dear ones above. Drifting away from the world and its pleasure Silently nearing our heavenly goal. May we contend for undying treasures. Thai will endure while e i em i ties roll; When the last tie on earth shall be riven. When our afflictions and trials shall cease. May our frail bark by ocean storms driven, Kuter in triumph a haven of peace. L. H. Mower. He Favorite Home Hemefig. For all diseases caused by derangement of the Liver, Kidneys, and Stomach.

In all parts of the country much interest in-terest will be taken in the government's govern-ment's experiment of free mail deliveries de-liveries aud collections in farming communities. At its last session congress con-gress appropriated &0,OUO to be used in testing the practicability of giving the farmer the same postal conven-ienccsas conven-ienccsas his city neighbor. Iu twenty-two twenty-two states one county is to be selected a Hell for testing what promises to be a successful step toward the comfort of the citizens of the country who till the land, do much of the hard work , of the commonwealth and receive few of the advantages paid for by annual taxation. When postmen ride from farm to farm, communication will be so easy that daily newspapers, frequent fre-quent correspondence and close communication com-munication will be the rule, Then the farms will lose their reputation for being rather lonely places and the task of going to the postomVe will be relegated rele-gated to the mist with all the other bygone tasks that used to make life hard. Omaha World-Herald. Right you are. If any locality needs a mail delivery it is in thr; country. A large pioportion of business men in cities have mail boxes and mail facilities that indicate less necessity for mail delivery than the couutry where the one letter to half a dozen citizens require a half dozen trips by half a dozen citizens which could be done by one government carrier at less expense and trouble than either one of the country citizens who may perforce have to leave their work several times for one letter before receiving re-ceiving it. By all means let us have the country mail delivery. Wanted-An Idea Who can think of some simple thing to patent? Protect your Idea: thT may brluic yon wealth.
