Show A ire Local Seal Sellers D.&R.6J. Enlarae Kilns Ins Parcels Not? Hiilily Successful I Yoo The Christmas Seal Campaign in Salina Wednesday was a big success. We were unable to get the exact figures in time for publication, but the chairman, Mrs. West, states that the total is well over $150.00 out of the total of $200 worth sent us to be sold. This 4s certainly an excellent beginning and the committee is very proud of its success. The district school went over its quota Wednesday and while the high school had not quite reached their quota of 2000 seals that day they assured the committee that they would sell that many. All the organizations of the town were busy and seals were sold on every corner and in all the highways and byways. The booth in the drug store was busy all day and taggers on the street caught any who failed to appear at the booth. Altogether a most excellent showing was made and while the committee is very proud of the fine showing made, the ladies are very grateful to the general public for their generous response and wish to express their thanks to all who by their assistance and contributions helped to swell the total. Herewith is given the Red Cross Roll for 1924 in Salina. While the active campaign has closed, anoyne may join at any time by paying one dollar to the president, Dr. Freece, or to any of the several ladies who have been canvassing the town the past weeks. The one dollar required for membership is the least anyone can do to aid this mighty organization and the roster of the Red Cross should include the names of every citizens of the town.

Wallis, executive Through the urgent request of have to Postmaster McKenna, Christmas packages mailed early, the big rush has been started and every indication points to a bigger business at the local postoffice than ever before. Many thoughtful people, and who have packages going long and realizing the great congestion that always results at the holiday season, are mailing early." This method gives assurance of safe delivery and in ample time for Christmas, and gives the proper consideration for those who will handle the mail along the route to destination. The postal department suggests and pleads that you pack carefully, wrap securely, address carefully, prepay fully and MAIL EARLY. These suggestions are sound and sensible and if everybody follows them explicitly the facilities of the Salina postoffice will be adequate and the mail will be handled judiciously and dist-tance- s, State High School Inspector Addresses P.

SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, VOL. 6 v anything about it. With that beginning, the speaker proceeded to prove that he does know a great deal about education, by giving in a clear, orderly manner the main objectives the schools of the nation are trying to attain. First the schools are trying to deThis is not velop moral character. sought through religious education, which is forbidden in the public schools by the constitution of the state of Utah, but through more indirect methods. The pupil, by studying sciences and history, comes to a realization of the price that must always be paid for the breaking of the natural, social, or economic laws that govern the lives of men. The schools endeavor to provide for the physical welfare of the child, first by removing physical obstables which prevent the child from doing his school work, such as bad teeth, tonsils or other disabilities, and second by teaching the child to prevent illness by studying and observing the rules of health. The third point made was that the schools must teach how to study, for said the speaker, this quality often determines success or failure of a person in later life, and that it is not too strong a statement to say that 95 per cent of the poverty and 100 per cent of the failures are due to the lack of knowledge of how to study. The schools should be more dem- ocratic than they are at present. Children in the same grade at school are usually of wide range of mental ability and yet the quick must wait for the slow and the slow be continually pushed to keep up with the quick. Mr. Williams thinks that we are op the verge of discovering some plan of instruction whereby this condition can be remedied and each child allowed to proceed as rapidly as his capabilities allow and not pushed beyond his powers. Again, it is the duty of the schools to teach something about everything and everything about some one thing. The problem of making a living is ever present and the person who knows as much as is humanly possible about some one thing is the one who stands the best chance of making good, yet for the sake of the joy of living and adding to the progress of the world it is necessary to have a fair knowledge of everything bearing upon daily life in the arts, the sciences and history. In the last place the speaker stated that the schools should develop in the child a willingness to give back to society a portion of what society has loaned to him in the form of an education. In other words, each individual should feel and be willing to shoulder the responsibility of working for his community, state and nation, and not only know what is good to be done but be willing to do it. In conclusion, Mr. Williamson stat- that after all is said and done, the three great essentials of a good school aie fiist, a good teacher, seced ond, a good teacher, and third a good teacher, and closed by repeating the beautiful Teachers Cieed. Pollowing the meeting, all repaired to the Social Hall and there enjoyed a dance under the auspices of the P. T. A. as- sociation, to stimulate the sale of Christmas Seals, throughout the state in the schools and as a partial recognition of the sei vices rendered in the sale by the school children, makes announcement ot the awards that will be made to the boy or girl making the highest sales, as follows: 1. To the school district making the highest per capita sales the services of a school nurse for six months, and as a second prize, a nurse for three months. 2. To the three schools with the highest per capita sales, equipment for playgrounds, school lunches, scales, framed pictures, etc. First prize, $100.00; second prize, $50.00; third prize, $25.00. 3. To the three school rooms with the highest per capita sales. Frist prize, set of Crusade platform scales; second prize, six standard pictures, framed; third prize, set of Health Crusade posteis, toloied. To the boy and girl in each school district selling the greatest number of seals: First prize, $10.00; second prize, $5.00; third prize $2.50. In addition to these cash prizes, the boy or girl making the highest sales in the state, will be awarded a gold medal; to the next highest, a silver medal; to the third highest, a bronze medal. The conditions under which these awards will be made are as follows: First: The competition shall last one week, beginning Friday morning, December 14th, and closing Thursday afternoon, December 20th. Second: To entitle any school dis trict to win services of school nurse, the total sales of that district must equal ten cents per capita of its population, as determined from the census of 1920. It is understood that the words total sales shall innclude not only sales made by the school children, but also those made by the local committees having the sale in charge, and also the proceeds from any health play, pageant, entertainment, bazaar, dance, social, etc. Third: Awards to schools and schoorooms will be made on the certificates of the local sale chairmen where said schools are located. Fourth: Teachers shall certify to the chairman of the local seal sale committee the names of the boy and girl in their rooms who sell the greatest number of seals, together with the total sales made by each individual. Fifth: Christmas Seals shall be secured from local seal sale committees and placed in small envelopes in amounts of 10, 15, and 25 cents, before being given to the children for Med-ha- being built. A crew of 15 men began work Tuesday and expect to have the woik done inside of two or three weeks. The large quantity of livestock constantly being shipped from Salina make these improvements a necessity, and the D. & R. G. W. officia's undoubtedly see a big future for Salina in the cattle business. After completing the improvements in the stockyards, improvements to the depot are being contemplated. A new platform will probably be built and a new warehouse may be built also. II. S. Carlisle, local agent, states that there is little doubt but that the above improvements to the depot will be made and that in the near future. This will mean much to thc town both in adding to the appearance of the depot, which naturally gives a stranger a first impression, but also in making things more convenient for the public. rt sale. Literary Christmas Party Avaunt, Thou Billboard! Minnesota, the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, is leading the way to ban the billboard. Last winter at the request of numerous civic organizations a law was passed requiring advertisements be removed from public highways before December 1, this year, says the N. E. A. Bulletin. The agitation still continues and the prediction is freely made that a bill asking for the removal of all advertising signs bordering highways will be introduced at the next ession of the Legislature. Anticipating the trend of signboard legislation, Ray P. Chase, state auditor, in a letter to C. M. Babcock, commissioner of highways, has announced his decision to refuse rentland for signboard ing purposes. Within the last few weeks, says Mr. Chase, this office has received numerous requests for permits to erect billboards on state lands. I have ruled that no state lands shall be leased for billboard purposes. This is in line with the legislative intent, as evidenced by Section 11, Chapter 439, Laws of 1923, which require that advertisement be removed from public highways prior to December 1, and with the policy of your department as I understand it to be. I am certain that this ruling will work no hardship on advertisers, Mr. Chase continues, since the newspapers of the state are entirely adequate to carry their message to the state-owne- d public. It will work no hardship on Indies Literary Society is planning a happy event for the entertainment of its members together with their husbands and sueh friends as they may invite. It will be held next Monday evening In the Presbyterian chapel, which will be the meeting place of the soi iety in the future. A feature of the evening will be a gift exchange, each member to bring a gift to be put on the tree for distribution to all members present. Lunch will be served, for which a small charge will be made.

' It will operate as a safety measure to the extent that it will prevent Ihe construction of billboards which obstruct the view and distract the s attention at dangerous and corners. That he personally is in favor of entirely eliminating the roadside billboards for esthetic reasons is indcross-road- icated by Mr. Chase in his concluding paragraph, when he says: It will be another step to preserve the scenic beauties of Minnesota and prevent their disgifurement by commercial advertisers. We have ! barely started the tourist industry in Minnesota. Tourists, in increasing thouands ,are coming into our state to admire its beauties, enjoy its climate and partake of its hospitality. The entertainment of these guests will be an increasingly profitable business. The state is making every effort to produce highways which will make tourist travel in Minnesota a pleasure. So far as this department can, we shall make every effort to preserve and conserve our resources in timber, lakes and streams.
