Main and Center : : : : American Fork Dear Editor: There are many questions in the minds of local residents and of newcomers to the state pertaining per-taining to the schools and educational edu-cational program of Utah. Since the schools are a public institu tion, they are constantly criticized criticiz-ed both Justly and unjustly. The American Fork Study group, of the American Association". of University Women, wish to help direct this discussion according to facts. Therefore we would like to present this information to the public in a series of letters to be published in your paper. There are many very com mendable features in Utah's edu cational system, among which is the important fact that the state has been consolidated into rela tively few school districts., In 1890 there were 317 districts and at present there are 40. Since wealth is not equally divided among the districts of the state, consolidation tends to more nearly near-ly equalize educational opportunities oppor-tunities and permit more supervision. super-vision. Utah ranks high among the states in the progress made in consolidation. Also, Utah has an unusually high number of students in school according to population. There are 226 individuals of school age for each 2000 people, which is 22 more per thousand than the national average. These students stay in school an aver age of 10.2 years while the average aver-age for the nation is 8.4. Fifteen students out of every thousand in Utah graduate from high school, while the national aver age is 9. Due to these facts and the fact that the state is not wealthy as a whole, it is neces sary to exert a greater effort than many states, if we are to have the type of educational system that is desirable. It is interesting to note, that only 4 states have fewer illiterates than Utah. PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN MUST HAVE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION All children expecting to enter school next fall are required to have a physical examination before be-fore registering, parents are reminded re-minded by Public Health Nurse Mabel Jones. Blanks may be obtained from the school board office, which are to be filled out hv thf rirvt-j-ir matiner tne ex- amlnation, Mrs. Jones stated. It is urged that parents attend to this matter early, thus avoiding avoid-ing the rush at the last moment.
