Deplores the Fact that Bond Issue Failed. The Payson high school occupies a leading position among the high schools of the state, according to Mosiah Hall, mste high school inspector, who was in Payson last Wednesday. Mr. Hall was highly complimentof the Payson ary i.i ai3 high school, and he gave particular credit to MeKir. Wilson, principal of rhat instill tion. and he was lavish in liis piuise of the corp of nstrnct-ors- . decianng that nowhere in the state a mure i impetnt and conscientious sfiili was in charge of the work. Every department, he said, is in most efficient hands, and the pupils are receiving a course of instruction in things practical which will fit them or the stomcr things of life. Mr. Hall expressed complete satisfaction with the enrollment, emphasizing the fact that not more than sixty of the children of Payson, between the ags of 14 and 18 years are out of school, and that in the Nebo district 17 per cent of the school population is attending the high schools. Of the sixty out of school ho said, a large percentage are attending the rsm part-tim- e schools. Buildings Overtaxed. "One "of the greatest needs of the said Mr. Hall, Nebo district today, "is increased high school facilities, The buildings are terribly and congested, and it will be ini' possible to take care of the increased enrollment next term in the present buildingr. High school education must either bo denied some of the boys and girls of the district ,or they will have to be distributed in other buildings which will not afford proper teaching equipment, or new buildings must be provided. The school bonds having been voted adversely, this does not seem possible. con"Speaking of school bonus, tinued Mr. Hall, it does not seem possible that the people would have , voted against the bonds if they had fully realized the urgent need of additional school facilities and the seriousness of the situation High school education is something to which every boy and girl is entitled and to deny them of this is to rob them of a voted bright. Every person-w- ho against the bonds committed an act verging on a crime. It is to be hoped that when the question again rises, which it must, if the boys and girls are to be taken care of properly, the vote will be unanimously in favor of more and better equipped schools. "The high school is the peoples declared Mr. Hall, "and it college, is today fitting more boys and girls with a means of becoming better citizens that any other institution in the country. In vocational work, this is particuarly a fact, and every community is dong the qjart assigned 1,0 in nreparing its boys and girls for netualites of life. In many of the vocational departments the boys are wring their own way by using a portion of their time in making things which bring them in a revenue. "Colleges are great institutions, but the need of today is not the kind of education provided by Harvard, Oxford, Princeton and other great institutions of learning, but practical education, outside of the professional; which is beng affordng by the high 'ools. If ten per .cent of the boys and girls are sent to college, that is sufficient to give ns all the lawyers, doctors and .technical men that the country needs. The rest should finish for the practical problems of life in ' the high school. The teacher problem is serious, said Mr. Hall, and there is no question that there will be a great scarcity of next year. The board of directors of the Nebo district exhibited wisdom in early signing up teachers for the next year, thus insuring to the Nebo district a corps rf instructors, probably the best in e state. Mr. Hall was highly to L. John Nnttall, superintendent of the Nebo school district, referring to him as one of the best fitted men for the position which it s yet' been his pleasure to meet. ',rr. Nnttall, he said, is in lino for greater things. d comn-limcntar- y -- DR.

As the time approaches for the hold- of the track and field meet in Payson, two weeks from today, inter- est increases and a spirit of rivalry is developing which promises to make the affair one of greater interest than ever before in the history of these events. From all parts of the county comes the word that a determined effort is being made to carry off the honors and the successful teams will have to show real mettle and power. American Fora, the Brigham Young high, Spanish Fork and Payson are all claiming championship material, hile Pleasant Grove, Lehi, Heber and N'ephi, while not making any udible boases, are working hard ana expect to spring a number of surprises and may return to their homes with the maple leaf of victory. The visitors will reach Payson on the morning train arriving at 8:50 .clock. The excerises for the ady wid open with a program in the Tabernacle at 10 oclock. In this portion of the program rivalry will not be 'a eking. Each of the high sohools f the county will enter a contestant in declamation and also one in music. The declamation- - contest will be judges by someone appointed for that purpose and a prize will be awarded to the winner. The music will be udgos by the audience the contest-anreceiving the greatest number of ipplause being awarded the prize. Full anouncement of the other events of the day will be made in the 'avsonian next week. Owing to the requirements imposed by the Salt Lake & Utah railroad, no special train will be provided to take the visitors to their nome towns after the dance in the evening. For this reason the dancing will begin promptly at 8 oclock and continue until train time, 11 o'clock. Because of track and field day coming on the last Friday in the month, the May Day festival, planned by the vson high school in connection with the formal opening of the Memorial ark, will bo postponed until May 14.

According to the sentiment expressed by the members of lie city council, some appropriation 'ill bo made to aid in the support of the band, but the citizens are expect-(to aid materially in providing funds. It is estimated that it will require from $2,0(10 to $2,500 to carry band through the summer season, and the major part ot this must be contributed.

It was also proposed that the distribution of water be placed under the meter measurement system, but in this matter no definite action was taken. It was held that the considerable wastage of water now existing can be overcome in no other way than to charge the people for the water which they use. Some fear was expressed that water may. become scarce as the snmmer season advances, owing to the waste bv careless users, and to prevent this REPRESENTATIVES waste it was believed that the meter CHOSEN system will bo effective.
