Show From the desk of Mr. J. C. Penney Last week it was briefly mentioned that an educational field trip for parents is planned on a monthly basis. One of the new concepts of modern education we hope to see in action is the Open PlanSchool. notes birthday Theres nothing really new about the idea of consumer protection. What is new, however, is the seemingly sudden surge of interest in the subject. As he nears his 95th brithday on Wednesday, Sept. 16, James Cash Penney will tell you that consumer protection has been a continuing concern of repu-rab- le retailers for a long time. The Penney store here will honor the companys first and most durable consumer advocate in an appropriate manner, according to manager Ron Nilsson. Mr. Penney himself set the tone for the companys consumer protection policies when he talked about the integrity of the business, To Mr. Penney, from the time his first store Kemmerer, Wyo., it was an inflexible rule that the merchandise offered had to be the best possible value at a reasonable price. It was Mr. Penney who conducted the first consumer-oriente- d testing for the company. Before the firms headquarters were moved to New York, he would go Boys 8-- 13 Win trophies, there on buying trips with his early partners Johnson and Callahan. On one of those trips, the trio had been in a warehouse looking at piece goods, and Mr. Penney asked for samples. He was scrubbing them in a lather of soapy water in a washbasin when Callahan came into his hotel room. Callahan asked in astonishment, Jim, what in the world are you doing there? Im washing these samples to see if the colors are fast. With a look of disappointment, Callahan looked at the samples Mr. Penney had pinned against the curtains to dry, walked into the room, and peered into the washbasin. He asked, Why are you doing that? Although the wholesaler had told the men that the colors were fast, Mr. Penney said, 1 wanted to know for myself. I want my customers to be able to trust what I say. Ive got to know before I can tell them. The Penney Company still has to know before it can tell them. Instead of washing samples by hand, the company has in its New York merchandise testing center launderometers which simulate home laundry conditions. In addition tolaunero-meter- s, the center which occupies 17,000 square feet of space has a broad variety of sophisticated equipment designed basically to test the quality of merchandise. While consumer testing is infinitely more complev than it was back in the early 1900s, Mr. Penney feels its even more important today because of the have the time of your life in the 1970 PUNT, PASS & KICK COMPETITION trophies to be awarded in our local 18 PP&K Competition textile developments that have taken place. The company is also now in the hard goods business selling household appliances and such an area that Mr. Penney didnt have to concern himself with in the early days. Says Mr. Penney, I would be disappointed if the company that bears my name could not stand up and say, We have a deep and abiding commitment to and belief in consumer protection. When I reach my 100th birthday and I fully expect to, I am confident this commitment will be even greater than it is today. 5:00 p.m. A school bus will be used to transport the participants.

In essence, the first American public schools were open plan schools. In these schools, all children were taught in the same room, regardless of their age. One teacher divided his time as best he could among all the grades. Each child, notinthegroup the teacher was instructing at the moment, was left to his own initiative after being given an assignment. Traditional school organization with fixed grades originated in 1847 in the Quincy School in Boston. It was in this school that children were first divided into grades. Each teacher was assigned about 55 children of the same age for the entire year and eggcrate classrooms were born and individualization of instruction died. But let us visualize a large open area, instead of usual classroom size, where 100 elementary school students and three teachers and perhaps a teacher aide or two participate in what, at first glance, circus. Just appears to be a three-rin- g about everyone is working and talking, but the many new acoustical developments designed into the modern teaching area absorb the sound. In one corner, a girl of 10 is curled up with a book; in another, a small group of youngsters concentrate on their science project. A dozen children are studying independently using earphones, tape recorders and even running motion picture equipment themselves. Teachers are working with individual students or with small discussion groups. The real task of a teacher is to help the student get along without him. The open plan school helps the student attain this goal of independence because of its emin phasis on developing a child, giving the child more opportunity for creative work and greater opportunity for individual achievement. The open plan school is an innovation of major significance. If you would like to see such a school in action you should arrange to be on one of the coming tours. Recently Superintendent Reidhead and a group of interested patrons had the opportunity to visit modern school buildings in surrounding districts. Because of the enthusiastic reaction of this group it was suggested that more people be given the same opportunity. The purpose of the trip is to evaluate mpdern educational facilities and programs. An invitation is extended to other interested patrons to make a similar visit. Arrangements have been made to visit the East Elementary School inTooele District, the Muir Elementary School in Davis District, and the Sand Ridge Junior High School and Roy High School in Weber District. The following dates have been scheduled for these visits: September 22, October 27, November 10, January 19, February 16, March 23 and April 13. Those who are interested in going on one of these educational trips should contact the following in each area for tickets: Springville, Mrs. Gam (Jan) Lloyd; Spanish Fork, Mrs. Paul (Margaret) Bradford; and Payson, Mrs. Sherol (Marion) Wilson. Because of the limited number of seats tickets will be issued on a first come first serve basis. The trips will leave the district at approximately 8:00 a.m, and return about James Cash Penney listens intently as E. James Stavrakas, manager of Penney's merchandise testing center, discusses the center's consumer-oriente- d testing activities. Mr. Penney was the Company's first consumer advocate and as he notes his 95th birthday he feels consumer protection is more important now. 6 What Visits other schools opened in 1902 in was the Superintendent A JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING TO AMEND ARTICLE IV, SECTION INCOME TAX BY REFERENCE JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING TO AMEND ARTICLE VI, SECTION 22 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF UTAH, RELATING TO THE PASSAGE AND AMENDMENT OF AND PROVIDLAWS; ING FOR PASSAGE AND AMENDMENT OF LAWS IMPOSING A TAX OR TAXES BY REFERENCE TO THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.
