The amount reckoned a saving to taxpayers is computed on the basis of 175 per year for the education of each child. While it has been felt generally by taxpayers that too much money was being spent for educational purposes, no one will dispute the contention that much progress has been made In the method of teaching and in tjh results attending educational work. When one barks back 30 or 40 years to the system of education then in vogue throughout the country, one can see at a glance that the school children of today have great advantages over their forbears and are being taught much more thoroughly now than they were then. This observation, of course, carries with it no reflection on those engaged in school work at that lime, but simply made to show the progress that has 1 attended educational effort in the year that have passed. And m that progress the schools of Utah have shared, until today they are reckoned among the very best in the United States. This then, is a tribute rather than a reflection on those who pioneered the way for educational advancement in this state. LOVE THE MIGHTIEST OF HUNGERS. the mightiest hunger of man is the desire, for love The French call at the 'Grand Passion-'LIh- a physical basis of this passion is at once the blessing and the bane of man. Spencer finds it composed of feelings. When many strong analyze these we find that the strongest element sn it is the race hunger for life, for perpetuity. The best things in the world may also be and love being the mightiest and the most universal of all human forces, it is only natural that it should have wrought sorrow PERHAPS -- i "1 x- - w-- the-woo- st as well as joy. Maeterlinck snys, . 1 Grief is love's first food, and every love lhal hss not been fed on a little pure suffering must surely die." Nevertheless in its beneficent. aspects love beyond all other agencies has been the active force that has created and reared the temple - of human happiness. It is the inspiration of all the worlds beauty and the most potent agent in all the worlds good It i more native to man than the air that he breathe. It is the distinctive note of his humanity. From his coming into the world until hi going out. love ministers every moment to his most common and crying needs. What drama was ever acted, what gtory was ever written, what painting ever touched the human heart, what music ever thrilled the world, but that the at.fied or unsatisfied hunger of love was it leal essence? When one .. reads the secret of every devotion he find that it root deep and sure m Uiw divine passion. In woman when it finds not its natural outlet in the direction of husband or child, it turns all it blessed stream,of tenderness and healing along the parched wastes of human suffering and human desolation. From the beginning of the race, poets have sung of its pleasures and its pains, its divine ' madness, its delirious delights, it infinite longings, it lasting bitterness or it abiding' peace. It was this love so common and so large, thia passion so commanding, of mans destiny, that Christ took and lifted into a transcendent ethical power.

When the Russian delegates were at The Hague they boasted of their forthcoming independence after the great crop they were to hav e this year. Large newspaper syndicates have sent reporters to Russia for the purpose of investigating food conditions there. The League of Nations is represented by Dr. Nansen and he has given to that body some of his conclusions. Dr. Nansen is a renowned explorer and familiar with Oriental life and also with the Russian mind. He is doubtless one of the best informed men on the Russian situation today. He. himself, has made extensive investigations and collected information from the relief agencies working under his direction. He says: More than two millions have died of starvation, a million more by starvation and disease together, and at least million survivors have been eo reduced m strength by privation that their productive capacity is lowered. While the whole of Russia is riddled with epidemics, which to foreigners are far more deadly than to the Rustiana themselves, trade cannot be Further on in hia report he declares that the coming year the grain crops will be twenty million Ions below what they were before the war; that is, for home consumption. From earliest tunes, famine has been followed by diseases of the most destructive character. It Is pitiful that men must die of starvation, but the world at large seems indifferent to the situation. Europe and America, however, for self protection as well as humane reasons, can be generoiSs in feeding the starving millions In order that the stricken countries may escape in some measure the diseases which follow famine. Already, it it said that ths threat of famine is creeping westward, and that Poland and Rootnama will fan far short this year of their usual crop. y WHIT THIS COUNTRY .NEEDS, What thw county need U not a now birth 2 lower but the berth.

It has been thought that looser standards had come1 Into vogue, and criticism of young college men and women has in tome cases been severe. It perhaps can not be doubted that there ha been a change in some phases of college life that has given ground for the fear that the standard of morality was on the downward trend fashions of --dress, modern danca forms, conversational habila of students and a growing familiarity between the sexes. The college president Questioned by the Health Service regarded these problems of conduct from various points of view. Some saw in. them an evidence of relaxed moral standards; others viewed these changing outward manifestations as of less serious import. But all were agreed that the reports of physical examination among tudenls showed an improvement in the degree of prevalence of social diseases. The forces held responsible for this change, loosely classified, are first, education, both popular and academic, in matters of health, with an increasing emphasis on the hygiene of sex; second, a more active concern on the part of the college in the physical well being of its students, including Increased opportunities for physical training and play activity; third, improvement in environment factors, such as the elimination of the saloon and the suppression of commercialized rice; and fourth, the Influence of upon the atmosphere" of the college. It is gratifying to learn that Indications of betterment are noted, and it la to be hoped that they will become more and more manifest. It is sincerely to be hoped, too, that this continued and highly desirable improvement will be based, not alone on advanced efficiency in hy giene education, however commendable that may be, but upon a real advancement In moral character and the desire to lead better, cleaner and purer !r?es.
