Education should bo the ono main factor to help cement tdgeber the alms ot a community.

Th prtvato elementary and high scnoois ot vernarTrsnre-doB-a-crj work In the past and Itsis difficult to see hbw Uintah county could have done without them, but it seems now that the time Is about here for them to give way to the public schools and these take up other work possibly more needed in their special fields. Uintah county la big enough and strong enough to the education of its children at publlo expense and In fairness to the deaoaaelatloaa who baro malBtaiaed ltsv frivate schools to help educate all children without preference- to creed should not expect iem to do this much longer. If the proposed state tax amendment goes through this fall, It wilt be easy for Uintah county to Uke Up this work.

Mr. Freestone had been ill for several months and a few weeks ago had tho misfortune to break his arm. After this accident he gradually grew weaker and suffered severely until death came as a release. Mr. Freestone had been a prominent church worker until HI health compelled him to retire.

He fas Bishop -of VernaLward for several years.

Why not turn It around so poqplo can read Ht It puts me In mind br tfrcTmi "Thtr-piclur with Its face turned to the SufKOStloa No.

Why not a rest room for the home people, where our farmers could make appointment with their friends and talk over business matters or visit, think this would be a good move for the betterment of our town as well as eliminate the expense of a row of spikes as suggested by Aunt "Sue', P. Suggestion No. 3.

It the children in the home were taught to be sanitary, and also to have respect for others one wishing to quence his thirst would not have to watch his chance and grab a few swallows between hard washes at the public fountain. The Express takes considerable pleasure in reading the different sent in. and these helpful criticisms i and suggestions show clearly that a good many-lease ere lying around, the way. These very things show the need ot a well and carefully laid plan or betterment and we want every one who reads this paper to get Into the game and make this paper your paper, and an mis way make it the biggest and best medium for securing mutual betterment throughout the Uintah Basin VERNAL LEADS ALL OTHERS We want to acknowledge In this way thevery great help given to the Ashley valley and Uintah county generally by Prof ess Stelner of the University of Utah. Particularity should we reallte the big step forward Just recently taken In the way of summer training given; tho teachers of Uintah county.

We hare kept our place advanced teacher training, havo kept the money that would otherwise have gone away from us, and best of all. instead nf rnmifr. Ing the home teachers to adapt the ineones tney nave studied and to Interpret and apply them Individually The Instructors ore brought into direct contact with the conditions on the ground and In this way can give the practical working and adaption of the advanced methods taught. Uy the innovation of the summer field school Vernal has taken the bit in her teeth and Is far and away ahead of any other section ot Utah or the In-termountain states, and we predict that (he Summer field ofchool' for teachers will be brought Into the prominence It so richly deserves, and WE POINT WITH PRIDE NOT SO MUCH TO OUR POLITICS AS TO THE FACT THAT AT VERNAL waal brought Into effect the training of teachers at the place where the methods taught will be used. This surely Is vitalized education.

democratic conven tion HELD TUESDAY A Democratic county, convention was held in the court room Tuesday afternoon and eleven "delegates were elected tdfc the Judicial convention to be held in Provo Saturday, asr follows: L. W. Curry, Ashley Bartlett, Bernard Gardner, Lynne Ashton, Judge Roark, L. N. Meredith, J.

tolson, Jas, O'Neil, Pontba Calder, J. T. Chlvers and J. Duke. Several speeches were made, and considerable nthuslasnr manifested, As several of tha remote precincts were not properly represented It was decided to -adjourn the meeting until Friday evening at 8 o'clock, at which time delegates wilt be elected to at- tend the state and Congressional con ant publlo matter at this time.

Railroad Through Baata But early in the progress of the excursion, It developed that there were far weightier reasqns why Utah should visit Colorado and talk over their" mutual Interests In such the Bamberger railroad tbrugb4 thor Uintah Basin to Craig, and of the connection with the Streoter railroad south of Craig which would open the great Mt- Streeter coal mine and the mines along the Bear River, to west-tern delivery, and give eastern market for much of the agricultural products of this Basin. And co-Incident with the building of these roads would come the development of tho vast areas of agricultural lands lying between these twp communities. Should Utah, and Colorado unite voices In a memorial to Congress, It Is certain that Uncle' Sam would set in motion the machinery to Impound Green rlvec and divert water over the great barren tracts lying at either side of the Utah-Colorado Hue, and with our communities- perfecting ocean-to-ocean highways through, these lands, people and "money will flow In and before we know it this part of the West will come into its own1. And co-operation of the people now UV- Ing hero, East and West, can do the trick. Royally Entertained The business meif-'Trom Vernal and Roosevelt were royally entertained at Steamboat, Hayden, Craig, Mt.

"Streeter and Meeker. The time limit of the trip did not permit rtjght stops at Hayden or Mr. Streeter. but the Hayden Commercial club intercepted the Utah party and garo them an tmpompteau banquet and program that endeared them to every Utah visitor, and was a great complement to the reat quality of the city. And 'so 'also at Mt.

Streeter. the party was conducted through the great coal mine where the solid mass of shiny black semi-anthracite coal rises twentyfive feet four Inches, and Us breadth Is not known, and immediately Aipon coming out, were Invited 'y T. streeter, the owner, to have dinner with him sixty ot us. fc Public meetings were held at Steamboat Springs, Craig and Meeker at which Mr. R.

S. Collett of Roosevelt was the principal speaker for the Utah delegation. Mr. Collett has spent years checking up the resources ot Eastern Utah and West era Colorado, and could therefore (Continued on page four.) OPENING OP THE WILLCOX ACADEMY With full equipment of well trained and experienced teachers, the school wilt open on September 7tht for Immediate work. "The Misuea Alice and Alvaretta Pottlnger, whose splendid influence rand" the character of whose work need no words to Justify or recommend, will be on the staff of teachers and for the most part will carry; the same subjects aB In previous years.

Miss Julia K. Russell, so successful In grades six and eight two years agor will again bewlth us in Junior High school work. Miss Sheldon, efficient In all commercial branches will probably be assigned to that department, while we are expecting an enlargement In the Domestic Science line. Mrs. Mildred Downey, successful for seven years as a grade teacher In the East and who haB been attending our local fiunVmer school, will have the Intermediate department, while Miss Rotfe, -well trained In primary work, will take that department The principal wilt teach several subjects not yet determined and will ffcave general superintendence In all departments, giving his whole time to the work of the schools The whole plant Is being made ready for tbe'reopentng, floors oiled, and' outbuildings put in first class condition.

Better janitor service Is assured, and tho 'best year of all Is hoped for. GEO. Ah, DOWNEY, Prln. trip was realized and hence it was worth all jt cost to make it at this busy season. The mingling with our Colorado neighbors all along the uno, made It clear to all the party that these visits to them and their vlrfHs among us are too far apart, and as a consequence both communities are losing heavily In the materiaLrdevelonment of the respective commonwealths which could easily be corrected by co-operative effort.

And speaking of co-operation, it is probable that one of the big lessons of the trip, was to impress upon Mayor S. D. Colton of Vernal, and upon Mayor pauKS. Hanson of Roosevelt and upon all the other business men of these two cities who made up the excursion to Colorado, that the Utah towns aro not now vigorously eo-operatlng as they might do for tha more rapid development of Eastern Utah. And so, It Is probable that before the end of the next sixty day period an all eastern uiuq committee may do named by each of the Commercial bodies of the Uintah Basin to promote and direct all matters that concerns all the towns alike.

The time is short, too, for such appointment, for the Western Colorado cities visited on this excursion are now taking steps to return the call, and they will be ready to Join Utah. In an organfeatlon uniting the two stales for mutual development. To Correct Misroutlng The principal reason for making the run over into Colorado at this time, was to correct the further mis-routing of West-bound tourists some of whom were being sent west via, Kangeley and Ouray Instead of west over Strawberry creek and into Ver nal, Until the bridge over White-river at Rangeley Is repaired, the route via Strawberry creek is' the only feasible one for those coming west from Olenwood Springs, Rifle and Meeker. The route west from Steamboat Springs, Hayden and Craig, via Maybell and Jensen, Is very good. The Colorado pfftclals at Meeker as -woll as the hotel and automobile people, were, anxious to co-operate with Utah in the proper routing of tha tourist traffic, which is becoming a very import EDUCATORS WILL VISIT THE RURAL, SUMMER SCHOOL SALT LAKE CITY, AugV 26.
