Show From the desk of 8 PAYSON Mt. Bell names CHRONICLE Thursday, September 3, 1970 the Superintendent After having a discussion with several citizens and receiving some rather constructive criticism. I believe that it would be better to move off some of the technical aspects of the district operation and try to discuss items which are of more concern and interest to the majority of the people. Since school has just gotten underway, I am sure most people would be interested in the enrollments compared to last fall. The figures for this year were taken on August 28 and there maybe some minor adjustments for students transferring in late. The figures for last year are on September 4. The elementary schools this year are 4,643 compared to 4,635 for last year, or an increase of eight students. The middle schools this year are 1,323, and for last year were 1,331, with a decrease of eight students. The Junior High enrollment is 1,578 against 1,572 for last year, which is an increase of six students. The high school enrollment for this year is 2,404 and last year was 2,286 for an increase of 118 students. Total enrollment this year is 9,948 and last year was 9,824 for a total increase of 1 24 students.

The district is caught in a tough position. Because of increased costs of materials, supplies and salaries, with the pressures; tor; salary settlements to meet costs of living increases, considering the concern of parents to provide more services in transportation and small classroom loads to do away with moving students from one school to another to equalize loads and the necessity of considering other requested improvements, we are having to tighten our belts to keep a balanced budget. To the best of our ability we have tried to do this without damaging the educational program. May I assure you that we are seeking ways to improve our efficiency and at the same time improve the quality of education in Nebo District. . For he makes the case, as did Plato some 2300 years ago, that the best way to keep the economy, the social order and other matters on an even keel Is to have at the wheel a group of super planners who would compromise the government. of course, one could well launch into a discussion of how well the super planners, called government economists, have been handling the affairs of the American ship of state these past few years, bringing up such items as the balance of gold, the national deficit and Now, other matters. But it Is perhaps more germane to discuss the matter from another aspect And although United Steel is not what can be considered a small business, this corporation does serve as an illustration.

His excuses about colds, flu, headaches, accidents and domestic problems were not the real reasons for his absences. To his fellow employees it was obvious.
