He said that Ihe verdict of the Jury was a complete sur prise to himself and to the legal representa tives cf the Union Paclfio and the Oregon Short Line. "Rut the Mormon Jury decided I was guilty." said Mr. Buckingham, "and I guess theie Is nothing to do but to carry th case to a higher court and get a rehearing The people of Onit-ha know that I had nothing to do with the Vnlon Pacific Coal company and that It Is a separate corpora lion. The telegraphic reports showed th. Jury did not v ant to hold me very bad. but they were evidently afraid to leave me out of their findings for fear they might release the railroads. "Of course whatever I did In the matter was as a representative of th railroad company, for, of course, I had no individual Interest In the matter and had nothing to do with the coal company whatever. We do not anticipate any trouble when the case goes to a hliOii r court. "Salt Lake City ii surely booming and many large buildings are being put up all over.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK Some Defect in 'American Education Call for Remedies. IOWA COLLEGE LOSES TEACHERS Better Compeuatlea Tempts Thesa te Other lastltatleas For lg I'al Tersltles and Opea Air Schools neat tonal Notes. President Stanley Hall of Clark uni versity, Worcester, Mass., delivered an ad dress on "Defects of American Education," before tha Century club In Chicago, last Thursday. Tha chief defect pointed out were: There are not enough school days In the ytar. Teachers are poorly trained, not of a high class and are sulferlng from dry rot. The control of American schools by ap- E-ointlve boards means school management y many incompetents. The e is too much legislation concerning education; If it were all enforced It would lead to chaos. The schools are suffering from femi nization, with the result tout tha boys ar j beioml4.g slssll.ea. Ti.ere Is too much paternalisatlon In the general management of schools. there Is too much retardation. In that too many children are behind grade. Text-books are poor and are getting worse constantly. Children are not taught enough good, pure Kuigllsu; they sre constantly tend .ng to use ot "slanguage" father tlie.i .anguage. Mo. al education Is neglected, whereas something of the kind is urgently needed. The American public school child has not the physiial stajnlna ot former times. Despite lus criticisms, retorts the Record Herald, President Hall was explicit in oe claring his belief .that the weak points of the present sstem, as he sees them, will be remeuled in lime. He oi.a. acterisud himself as an optimist concerning the school 8) stem of tiie Un.ted States. In part President Hall spoke a follows: Our American schools keen only 191 davs out of the year. This is ail too llltie. So much leisure time is unfortunate In lis ei- lect on the child, and there Is not very , much difference between tue long vacation, and truancy on the boy or gin. out of tne 3,(JW,mAi children between the ages of 6 and 17 In this country, only 1S.6uo.iI0O are enrolled In the scuuois. Of thoee enrolled the average attendanco at sciiool by each child Is but l' days yearly. Thus on any given aay more man nail or our school populattvn of school uge ia not In school. The teaching force is so poorly paid In America that we cannot expect to got a very high olass of men and Women, taking them as a whole. - The average pay Is 155 monthly for men and $42 monthly for women. The averagd length of service hi less than four years. Mny ot the teachers are not properly trained and a very large proportion oi them never go through their normal school. Tho consequence of the existing condition is that we have a poorly trained, poorly paid, short-serviced corps of teachers, on whom we rely to reileve the country of ignorance. It has been well said that the teachers are suffering from dry rot, Inasmuch, as they leave their souls behind when they enter the classrooms. The control of many American school systems Is vested In appointive boards. Under this system the schools and teachers often come under the rulo of Incompetents. The feminization of the schools is a matten for contemplation. Seventy-six per cent ot the teachers in the United States are women. Many boys go through school without ever coming into contact with -a male teacher, liy own eon, now In Har vard, never had a mole teacher until he went to college. There Is a saccharine benignity as a re sult of the feminization which Is not desir able for boys. Boys should not become too domesticated and slselfled. There Is some thing wrong with a boy of 14 of whom It can truthfully be said that he Is a perfect gentleman. Hoys freed ft little roughness. Children In these days are petted too much. It may be asked "Whether or not there is some oonrvecUuu anaweoa the softness with which boys are treated at school and tne outbreaks ot nooaiumism wnion are so fre quent. Then there I the matter of text-book. Text-books are not as good now a they were ten year - ago. A prominent pub lisher to.d me last summer that it Is impos sible to publish a first-class text-book to day. The demand la for text-books which are padded, which have much explanation, which are not too difficult. The modern text-book reminds one of the making of two ounces of soapSnto two hogsneads of lather, which was the test once required from would-be barbers. As for English children are learning how to evade it. They are allowed to fall Into what has been called slanguage. There is no moral education in the schools. Surely this is a matter for thought when Juvenllo crime is lncreas.ng, when there is no and of murder and vice and graft. There will probab.y be a revolution on this point ot moral education. EIHOPEAS rXIVEItSITIES. Paris, Leads la N amber of Stadents, vrlth Berlin Seooad. Europe has now 12S universities, with a total student body of 228,721. Next to Paris and Berlin come In point of attendance Budapest (6.664), Vienna (6,306), Moscow (5,860), Madrled (5,196), Naples (4,818), St. Petersburg (4,6i2). The cost of maintaining the nine uni versities of Prussia has increased from 1860 to 1906 from 9,850,000 to $40,080,000, or an in crease of 213 per cent for regular expenses, says the Independent. ' In addition new buildings and the like have cost a further fc;f020,000. Berlin alone requiring nearly J7,t 00,000.' Berlin Is fast becoming for Germany what Paris is for France, the overwhelming cen ter of university life. In addit'on to Us S.220 matriculated students, about 7,00) other ai permitted to attend lectures. making a total of only 1,000 less than th reports claim for Paris. In general tho universities In the large oenters of population increasingly attract th greatest number of students In Ger many. Munich has now 6,813 full students. Lelpslc 4,241, Bonn t.Vii, while the smaller university towns report no corresponding growth. i Even greater Is the growth of the tech nological Institutes. There are ten of these In Oermany with a total enrolment of 10.790 matriculated students. Through the Influ ence of th kaiser these schools have now been placed on an equality with the uni versities. Th woman contingent Is now 1824 In the cnlversitles, of whom SW are matriculated. In 19rH) the number was only 604. Naturally Berlin leads with TH, but no Prussian uni versity will matriculate a woman or admit her to examinations. This right she has In all but Rostock, In Mecklenberg. The number of students In the Italian unt- ersltlesaccordlng to late statistics. Is 27.- 100, while In 1S93 it was only 21,870. so that .there are now eighty students to every lOO.oflO Inhabitant. The greatest lncreas Is In the law department, from E 690 In ISM to 9,424, wliile rather remarkable, the med ical department has gone back from 6,521 to 4,731 during these years. OPEX AIR SCHOOLS. Experiment In London Ha Proved a Great Saeeeaa. London Is experimenting with open-air schools. Thsy are for poor children, their session Is from June 1 to October 31, and they ar proving a success. Th beginning wss mad last summer and was purely experimental. Th author) tie mad a grant of 400 to ee how the thing worked. They have Increased the appropriation for next summer to 2,000 and three schools will be established. Each school will accommodate seventy five children, divided Into three classes of twenty-five each. The ataft will consist of una head teacher, three assistant teachers, a nurse, cook and helper and a Janitor. Of. course there ar buildings which ar occupied a part of each day, as wall In pleasant as In unpleasant weather, but un less the weather s hopelessly bad almost all the time Is spent In the open air. A blackboard on an easel Is set up on the grass and the chair of the pupil are grouped before It. The children are small and the course cf study Is light. There are games, too. calisthenics, nature study In the open, and the results ot all these in physical Im provement are said to be very gratifying. The' children have ths-lr meals on the premise and spend the entire day there. IOWA STATE COLLEGE. Meager Salaries Responsible for Loss of Maay Professor. The resignations of members of the In structional force at the Iowa State college. Ames, has during the last two years betn most serious. During the biennial period ending June 30 last more than forty prof fessors and Instructor tendered their resignations to the board of trustees be cause of additional compensation offered elsewhere or because of greater opportuni ties presented for Individual work In other lima. The question of salaries In an Institution such as this Is a perplexing one. While It is to be expected that a certain number uf resignations will occur within a given period and transitions from one Institution to an other will be more or lsss frequent, the losses which Iowa State college haa suf fered within the last two or three year have been out of all proportion to any normal standard. The fact seems to be that other Institutions are In the habit of look ing to us for well trained men. They are paytng better salaries than we do and we have been unable to prevent the withdrawal from Iowa of some of Its most valuable men because we could not advance a few hundred dollars in salary. The report of the trustees further cites the fact that during the last few months every man iu a certain department of the college with one possible exception received offers from other colleges and from com- morelnt lines nf wnrk tn talc tin work else- wh-p. 1, .,i.rip- rnln from I30O to tl 000 wner" " ' ranging irom ijw to ii.uw 1" advance of the salaries now being paid, . The trustees further say: "If the college t(1 mftintttn Its standard and Brestla-o It w to malnta,n 118 "tnuara ana prestige u must maintain its efficiency, and this can only be done by a much more adequate provision for our teaching force. Among the sixty-six institutions of learning in this country classified by the trustee of the Carnegie foundation on the basis of salaries paid their professors Iowa State college does not appear In the list because the salaries paid are less than In any of these sixty-six Institutions. We do not be'llev that the state of Iowa can afford to lose Us men to other states no better able to compensate for their services than Iowa and needinp-them no more than Iowa." The management of the Iowa State col lege keenly appreciate the situation and believes that It can only be met by provid ing additional compensation. The 75.000 asked for 'additional support Is intended for this purpose and additional expenses Incurred by Increased attendance. Plar.s are being p.rfected for making the winter's sport course the biggest thing of the kind ever held at this place. A new feature la the short course In poul'ry management. The. popularity of the regular poultry department In the col lege has made It seem advisable to add this to the lines of work offered at the short course. Another rcw feature I the course In seed breeding and management, this will be open only to students who have attended two previous sessions. It will take up the method of handling seed and plant breed ing in a comprehensive manner. The regular course will be given as usual. The animal husbandry department has secured a large, amount of first class stock to supplement that on the college farm. In addition to the Judging work lectures on conformation and soundness and animal diseases will be given. Lec tures on animal feeding will also comprise part of the course. The agronomy de partment will continue their work In grain Judging, together with lectures on farm management. The horticultural, soils, and ainicuituroi engineering departments win give a num- ber of lectures along their respective lines, Work on butter making and factory man- agement, together with farm dairying will be given, by the dairy department.
