Carrying out in full letter and spirit the intent of the big state-wid- e educational drive, the four upstate speakers assigned to this part of Emery county, joined by local friends of better education, took their message to every community, both large and small, in the county, with the result that our people have had their eyes opened to the modern needs and methods of education as never before. Almost everywhere the meetings were crowded to capacity and no one may plead that he had not the opportunity of gaining a valuable insight into modern educational plans and methods. Dr. Heber J. Sears of the department of hygiene and preventive medicine at the University of Utah; President Dixon of the Weber Normal college at Ogden; Professor John C. Swenson of the department of sociology at the Brigham Young University; and Dr. L. H. Peterson, of the same institution, were the four speakers who conducted the campaign insofar as Emery county was concerned, accompanied by former Senator Alonzo Brinkerhoff, School Board Member F. A. Killpack, J. A. Superintendent Washburn, and Clerk Edw. G. Geary. Beginning the meetings Sunday afternoon at Orangeville and Cleveland, and continuing each afternoon and evening until Wednesday, every town was covered, while extra sessions were held at Castle Dale, Huntington, and Victor. The mornings were spent by the visitors in visiting the various schools. Al-do- BENCH ROUTE IS DESIGNATED wire received from Salt Lake Citv the effect that the bench route location for the federal-stat- e postroad has been designated by the state road commission in preference to the pres ent state road wnicn enters casue nale at the east end of town. The new road will take off from the state road just this side of the Wilberg ranch, proceeding southwestward to the north bench which it will climb and come on into Castle Dale by way of the present road off the bench, intersecting the road to Orangeville and to Straight canyon a short distance below the Mammoth canal crossing. The decision is the sequel to a hearing given by the road commisson last Tuesday to delegations from Castle Dale, Orangevlle, and Rochester, C. E. Larsen and A. D. Keller having been delegated by the local town board to protest against the change, while A. Gardner Jewkes and Mayor-eleC. A. Stilson of Orangeville favored the now designated bench route. Q. G. Crawford of Rochester also attended the meeting. Mr. Larsen informs us that his request that three members of the state road commission come down for the purpose of thoroughly investigating both routes before maklocal ing a decision, in which eventfor the people would join in and work interests of the designated route, was tentatively promised by Secretary Ira R. Browning of the commission, which makes the early decision something of a surprise. A is to ct There is considerable encouragement being given Harry Dragates, former stage driver for W. C. Uroeker. in his proposed petition to the public utilities j commission for the rifjht to operate a stage line through the county and, not 'at all unexpectedly, the Mills people. . who "' thu r'roriii iiidii and also the exclusive right in,,,,;,,', to the state roads as far as passenger-carryinis concerned, are not slow in rushing about with a story about ail the fine new they intend putting on the line. They may put them on and they may not - we don't pretend to know hut we do know that the people of lOni. ry county ire being dished out a service that would be hard to equal for rotteness and this Is decidedly not as it should be. Passenger carrying is steadily increasing but, instead of the service improving with the turning into their hands of all the business, the service has steadily became worse until one may not compare it with that which obtained when competition was permitted without a shamefaced shudder. The service gives a black eye to the county and is continually placing in a oad light the utilities commission, which body, instead of taking care of the public, is made to appear as sponsor for an outfit which never thinks of the people until competition is threatened. Later. W. A. Engle, now operating the Anchor stage line to Sunny-sidis to take over both the mall contract and the stage line from the Mills depeople April 7, which velopment puts an entirely different face on the situation since the support given Dragates' petition was not so much from the point of favoring him in particular as it was an expression against the horrible service the Mills people have handed us. Engle has been in the stage line business for nine years and expresses the intention of giving the people of Emery county the best service to be had. He purposes cars built installing especially for local conditions, the cars to be ideally fitted for comfort, electric-lighte- d and fully enclosed and electric-ligh- t edandencosed.ullyEheatef heated In winter. An innovation and a splendid idea will be the establishment of a complaint box to which may be addressed any complaint, trivial or serious that may arise, all such to receive careful attention and adjustment. The cars to be used are not built for great speed but more for comfort and sturdy service. siiglKiy pale, could be seen whispering botid issue. e, last-minu- twelve-passeng- DISTRICT L NOTES FERROX DISTRICT SCHOOL "Say, teacher, where's our banner?

After separate meetings for the girls and boy s had been held, at which Professors Sears ami Dixon talked. ami left valuable Instructions not soon to be fiirgotteii. everybody said, "Was t it wonderful? After all that; worry to have a treat like this!" The Kducatioiial meeting Monday night was a credit to both town and school. Professors Petersen and Dixon were the speakers on the educational move and in their fluent language revealed the real motive of Utah's board of education and urged everybody to vote for the new amendment. Local speakers boosted the Emery county school bond proposition, but, sorry to say the vote was not unanimously carried over. j The meeting held here Sunday evening, one of those Included In the itinerary of the Utah State Educational campaign, was conducted by Mr. Dixon of the Weber Normal Colleg ind Mr. Peterson of the B. Y. University. PeterMelson, president of the school board, first explained the purpose of the proposed school bonds, and why it is necessary that the Improvements be made, as planned.. Upon suggestion by Mr. Peterson, a motion was made and carried that the bonds be voted. Mr. Kenney of Mohrland, spoke on "Higher Salaries for Teachers," and stated facts concerning the teaching profession in Emery county. Mr. Dixon outlined the purpose of the educational campaign, and related the conditions existing in the state. The subject was taken up more in detail He substantiated his by Mr. Peterson. assertions with figures showing the actual deficit of qualified teachers in the state and showed how this is Increasing. Mr. Peterson occupied the greater part of his time explaining the meed of better health conditions in th schools, and why more practical education is needed. The talks were well received and the speakers expressed their appieclation of the large attendance, the meeting house being filled to its capacity. Monday morning at 9:45 the gentlemen visited the schools. They spoke to the high school student body. One of the speakers declared that since coming here they had found the scfiool system here in a much better condition than in some other parts of the state. At 10:30 the elementary and high schools joined in a parade with each department showing with banners and pennants what Is being done and what can yet be done for the making of better and a more practical education in the schools. The people seemed to enjoy what was being done. The high school band led the procession of schools. We will not say more although there Is much being done In the public school. Everyone is working and doing his best for the betterment of our schools. (Crowded out last week) Friday was a big day for the elementary schools of Huntington.

Q. Edwards. On Friday afternoon he was kicked in the eye by a colt and was rushed to Castle Dale for medical treatment. Upon examination It was found that his skull was badly fractured, his brain exposed, and a very bad ash under the eye. loiter developments disclosed the fact that the back jf his neck was also Injured.

We feel that already much good has been accomplished and we expect to see a great improvement in regard to the use of this filthy narcotic. We greatly appreciate the stand that the merchants have taken in regard to not handling it, and wish them success In their business. We think the time is not far distant when what few tobacco users are left in Emery will have to send to some of our sister towns In the k for their county or to tobaeco. The volunteer street work which has been done during the past few weeks At the free is very commendable. dance to all road workers, given by the town board last Friday night, between seventy and eighty names were listed who had volunteered their services for from one day to three weeks.
