by corula risen many luany useful les ons it is reasonable to expect th t the older states of the union will show greater progress progress ogress Er in an educational wa way yet when brought r aught together and compared we und find that hat t the western states and terr tones tories are not so far behind their easte eastern rii bisters as we might suppose while alle this Is true one is impressed In pressed with the fact that the western school system is an outgrowth of tho the many mally systems E of the east eat and wool we of the west roust not forget that we are indebted to the perseverance per and arid energy displaced displayed by the educators of the ola jid eastern state states for the perfect stiem of schools we have out wet wea massachusetts ohio and illinois all have exhibits that show allow the many ninny years ears of patient a tient toll and labor of the tile people who built 11 up lit the public school stem of t these hee he e fact great eat states ve we see

fair in the educational depart went the work shown compares favo rabi v with that ot of any other state there Ts Is 11 a similarity in allot all of the tile educational ed exhibits some of tho the exhibits are better planned and executed than others ye yet t the same saine general plan of education pre ails valls through outa out heraver there has hits been an attempt to adopt a genera general I 1 publio ul bli la school system it there is a slight difference di kren ce in lit the method perhaps but it is plain to he seen that the aim is to attain the general re result stilt one thing is is noticeable notice ible and arid that is that our public school ere are models of perfection in this line we excel rn most os otner stat gs this is explained by rea reason 0 n 0 oatlie f tile fact that most olour of our school buildings buil d 1 t ig s ha have e been erected within the tile last fast four fo ur years and an d at no simein time in the tile history of t the gears u T I 1 lie schools of america has so great attention been paid to the coni comfort fort of the tile scholar in in tho tile erection of school buildings prevails at the present time tind and fortunately for utah our public school boards have taken advantage of the many that have been made in school buildings I 1 gs fre the inquire is male made regarding alie school system of utah people who are seeking dhonies in the west as a usual till thing rig make inquiry regarding ree arding the school be hoof I 1 I 1 I 1 system first they oven even consider that before climate c binate linate and ani when learn that we have a fine public school syi system teni many of their doubts and fears in regard to emi emigrating crating to utah are removed one on gent lentan who with a party of neigh neighbor bori has been thinking tb inking of moving from front one of the eastern states stat es to some point out west told me zile the other oth er day that one a thing that impressed him so favorably wl with th utah was 0 our ur public school system he ile said that while in ills his opinion it was not as perfect as some of the older bider stales states he could see by the exhibit which haa had been made that the right plan had been adopted and the foundation laid for fora a school that was destined to be the pride of odthe the future state and in his fride ion on nothing would tend to attract the better te r class of residents so much as a modest advertisement a of the fact that we had a lt good school system I 1 inquiry Is frequently made in to a particular locality the showing for 10 ogden in the school
