Show Ft THE QUESTION OF THE HALF HOLIDAY. Jacob Fikstad, 1 Editor Se.vtt.tt. ;Ti question hag been opVne1 by th3 Salt Lake Jerald fcutbiiifly. There are features qf tfiia question that remain untouched. "First and lastly its chief importance is the preservation by a jjrqper preparation for our Sabbath apij Sunday schools by promoting a relaxation from labor on Saturday afternoons, the preparation of the children, Jhe mcJds, etc,, that as far as possible Sunday be a dy of- rest to all. Certain it is as pow pursued1 we are pursuing the course of decrepitude morally, physically and socially by work, work over work, If the establishment of Rids to learning, means of recreations, lectures, libraries ars riot ours as in the States an4 England we can provide some jheans to recuperate, to stjidy natur in the canyons, the streams, the rocks, the leaves of theTtpoes, all Ifving bqoks and sermons, In this Territqry the aggregation of wealth' and men's 'labor is smal j indeed it is essentially individuality, yet it is within the range pf possibility to open through the medium of qur Y. Mr M. I. A. places pf amusement, lectures, readings, etc., at r yery nominal cost, say twelvq such for $1.00, interspersing music, singing, elocution, etc., coqld be taugfit. A fund iqight be raised out pf which a small premium of two or three cents given if first to vayward sons to attejid till attendance had' a charm to be expended to thpir credit at the end of a bionth 05 thrie by the trustees in increased facilities, EdJohn Stuart Mill said ucation is the remedy for the ills of the working people. ' It is, indeed, not the principle, but the sole remedy in its widest sense. Jules Ferry said, recently : Labor and gchoqls ig the rw pf the future.4 It is pprtajn that bqtany, studied 4 bomq pr in thg panyon, is provocative of taste and renne-mefi- t.

Fifth, it may be made a proper stepping stone to our higher institutions of learning, such as Academies, Colleges, and Universities. Aside frpm these points, too, owing to lack of facilities and an apothetiq spirit which has hitherto characterized 'the methods of many of our people, we firpl that there are numbersqfyoung people in nearly all of oyr large towns who have npt acquired a knpwl-edg- e of tfie branches which are taught and which come within the perview of opr public sphools, but who would be eager to attend school if they knew that they would not be placed in the same category and ip direct ppntact with pupils of the Primary and Intermediate grades. JJencO we Bay that it is duP to our young people and to the best Interests of the educational cause that our schools bp graded and that facilities be provided whereby all may acquire tho fundamental prfpcjples of a good education. It may he said by some that while the theory pf maintaining a gracjpd school and of establishing a central school building in each of the larger districts may seem very plausible and even expedient, it still would be impracticable outside of an absolutely free school pystepi, hut with reference to this we shall say that Provo, Spanish Fpfk, Beaver and several other towns of the Territory are running the graded school system very successfully and that, too, outside of tho free scfiool system. AJpre-pvejf flip matter be rightly considered the rgaj expense of establishing a graded system js but trivial when cqmpared with its good results' for be it known that means properly spent for educational puposes will make tho best possible retina, a there is nothing which gives such an elevated tope to the society of r tpyn or a city as a thorough school system and its essential poncomitantd intellectr, ual life. It is also said that a good school system and good schools enhance the value of property thus we may understand why it i that Boston is called the Iluh of the universe and why it is that travelers are so loud in their praise of the courtesy and refinement of her citizens. Even the street car drivers and tho lady servants of the meanest hotels exemplify the principles of truq culture and refinement. Perhaps all of the points which We have mentioned may not have direct relevancy with the abject in hand, but we have aimed to consider a few of the points bearing u on the important matter of improving our school facilities, so that our chcol officers and the people generally may cons der the matter calmly and thus be prepared to act wisely and intelligenily when the proper time comes. So far as San Pete is concerned we think the day is not far distant When she will have not only several good graded schools within her borders, but we see no rea-o- a why she should not support a county institution for higer 5 -- RAIL- -' ROAD.
