He was born in Billings, Montana January 16, 1894, and came to Brigham City when just a young man. He married Alta Larsen, May 3, 1922. They moved to San Pedro the following board of education, today subthe News-Journexplaining a point in his letter of resignation, which was published and made a minute of the board. In his statement that K. E. came Weight, superintendent, to Brigham City at a frying time and has had a tough job, Phillips explains, he- - did not imply that the school district was not in good condition, he explains. Phillips letter, complete, follows: December 15, 1949. Editor Box Elder New's: In my letter of the 5th inst., directed to the Board of Education, I made the following statement: I realize he (Mr. Weight) came here at a trying time and he has had a tough job. Some readers took it to mean at the time Mr. Weight took over I was inferring the school affairs in the county were in bad shape and he has had a tough job putting them in order. That is anything but what I intended. Under Mr. Bundersons administration the school district of this county was rated at the top in the State. As proof of this last statement let me quote from the report of the survey of the district made by the three college professors engaged by the school board to make such a survey. I quote: School efficiency, from suggestions that are made here about possible reorganizations no one should secure the impressions that the Box Elder schools are poor schools, for they are not. Generally speaking, the schools in this district are very good schools, and they are j accomplishing the purposes they have accepted to accomplish. . . The particular upset that occurma-- 1 red in the administrative chinery in January, 1947, did not indicate lack of educational efficiency in the district. That upset in administrative machinery does not indicate either that the district would be an unsatisfactory place for teachers or administrators to work, for quite reverse is true. In spite of the foregoing statements the said professors that a change be made in the administration of the district. Why? I have not as yet found out. Since the school board had paid professional fees for the service, it, no doubt, felt more or less obligated to comply with the recommendation. As you recall when Mr. was released as superintendent the folk hereabouts, including myself, were not in the best mood, and it would have been difficult for anyone to come into the position. Have I made myself clear this time? mitted a letter to Bun-derso- Start 6:30 n JOHN W. PHILLIPS. year where they have lived ever since.
