Right now this request is before the Utah State Legislature. And it has become apparent both to the legislators and public alike that if the state is to meet this increase along with the increased needs of other state there will have to be a tax increase. agencies Raising of taxes is a no more pleasant prospect to educators than it is to anyone else. Educators are taxpayers too. But Utah is now at the crossroads. or we must lower services We must raise revenue and standards. In education, the services are already too low. In fact, they are rapidly becoming critical. These are not the These are plain facts. emotions of teachers speaking. AVERAGE CLASS LOADS l I 1 1967-196- 8 : 26.5 pupils CALENDAR, I " States ..

INCREASE IN TEACHERS SALARIES Salaries paid to teachers in Utah are substantially below those paid to teachers in surrounding states and the rest of the United States. We train our teachers in state colleges and universities, using tax funds. The teacher can earn more elsewhere, and he leaves the state. Just as important is the fact that we cannot attract better teachers by paying low salaries.
