He said the public school system was built up not because the feature of it made education by the state cheaper than by the individual parent, but because the state had the power to compel education of every child and the authority to fine the parent if he did not propattend to his child's education. erly The speaker betran by tracing briefly the development of American education in the past century. He first deV scribed the condition that prevailed 100 years aso and the kind of education which sufficed for the needs of that time. lie then showed the changes which have taken place in every phase of national life c hurch, home, school, character and people and pointed out the Kreat effect of these changes, not on the nature of living", but on the character of education needed to meet the hanged conditions under which the American people now live. Since the day of the generation's grandfathers, bepresent declared, a revolution greater .social and industrial has taken place than was seen from the time of the Crusades to the beginning of the nineteenth century. ed for Created. To meet these new conditions of life he said there has been forced the development of an extensive system of public education and the rchool has been raised to first place amoig the institutions of democracy. Unlike the- countries of continental Europe, he pointed out, the United States has no centralized system of education, no state church, no standing army and no paternal government to assist the schools in the educational process. "In America we have only the schools," he said. "As a result teacher and patriot stand close together in laying the foundation and upholding the best traditions of republican life." Music for the session was furnished by the Salt Liike High school orchestra, directed by L.. I. Christensen, and a chorus from the Salt Iakt High school under the direction of Miss I.lsle Bradford.

Tuesday General Villa's generals and leaders had signed an agreement to turn tho rebel army of the north over to the do facto government of Mexico. Confidence is felt here in the reported promise of Villa to eliminate himself and if he appears on the American side of the international boundary line ha will find a free road. Villa's withdrawal and the incorporation of his army into that of the da facto government are regarded here as Indicative of early peace in Mexico and at least will pave the way for reducing materially the strong patrol the United. States has been- obliged to maintain border. His elimination, it is aong the will leave Carranza free t believed, move his army into the south and concentrate liis forces against the rebellious bands still operating In the interior and near the capital. It is realized, however, that while tho withdrawal of the rebellious northern army will improve the situation and render Carranza's task of pacification easier, his army h;;s before it many months of serious fighting before h. can assure foreign diplomats that his rulership is undisputed. ff o oranire jL .V ' EFT! if I ller.-Ttep- FREE TICKETS TO PA'ITAGES VAUDEVILLE 20,000 will noun ! exhausted. tor i TheA xnpplv maiinee be away FREE ti-.ke- t Kiven vaudeville will (exf with each dollar cash purchase made at Auerbach s cept groceriesStore.
