While running for a position on a school board recently, I had occasion to contact school board members, principals, teachers, custodians, parents, PTA officers, business people, police and civic leaders. They agreed that local schools are doing a much better job than should be expected with what they have to do with. They were also "aware of many weaknesses and soft spots in our education program." Some of the weaknesses pointed out were: Editor's Note This news-paper welcomes items to the forum on controversial sub-jects and will print the opin-ions of the writer so long as they are signed (signatures may or may not be published according to the wishes of the writer) and are not of slander-ous nature.

Many well trained and qualified Utah teacher gradu-ates are going into private business employment because of higher wages. (2) Many teachers are forced to maintain part or full time jobs to meet the standard of living of a respected community leader. This takes time from being a full-tim- e teacher who needs to spend many hours before and after school in planning and checking school work and in attending summer schools. (3) What a principal and teachers have to put up with from over-loaded classes, some misunder-standing parents, pupils, and others, make other jobs seem very desirable at times. (4) Classes are being held in hall-ways, store rooms, faculty rooms, play rooms, offices, and other poorly equipped places. (5) Some classes are so large that half attend in the fore-noon and half in the afternoon. (6) No teacher can give suffi-cient personal guidance in crowded classes. (7) Many teachers are teaching six dif-ferent classes each day. How can proper preparation and checking be given to that many classes and pupils? (8) C.nUpp-- pntranre examinations and turned ever to ," so why shouldn't a part of these be used for national aid to our inadequate school system ? In your interesting column "Everything rnder Sun" in the same isue, was quoted, "In the Unitod pt.ptes fin 1954) 61 of the a'"ults hadn't read any boo1: except the Bible but that i" Rusria. adults ad children were raiding every-thing and everywhere." If nationn! ail w'll he'p vi, keep up with the Russians, it might be worth trying. Cecil Dlm'ck, Orem, Utah. Should Attend College" of February 6th, condemning Fed-eral Aid to schools. Should like, to express my views. May-be conditions in Springville schools are different from those in other Utah schools. Quoting from your editorial, "Utah is a shining example of what can be done by a state if the inhabitants are convinced as to the desirability or need for a given standard of educa-tion. They don't need to be spoon-fe- d. They can manage and pay for what they consid-er essential to their well be-ing. Why all this hysteria? We are aware of MANY WEAKNESSES and SOFT SPOTS in our educational pro-gram from Kindergarten through college. These do not warrant the hysteria prevalent in certain circles. Utah has demonstrated what can be done. Federal aid is not neces-sary. Most anyone with intense desire and ability can attend college." Utah has achieved enviable. reveal an alarming number of High School graduates cannot read or study effectively. How can students "bright" or other-wise have the "ability" or "de-sire" to attend college if they are not being properly prepar-ed by our schools? If, as your editorial states, we are aware of these "weak-nesses" and "soft spots" and are financially able to correct them ourselves, why haven't we done so ? The tide-land-- rights and others, were denied the schools V. S. News and World Re-port finds that the current business decline is felt most severely in the factory towns and smaller cities the ". places that have cut loose from their dependence on the farmer but have not developed a broad basis of industry and trade" Coal Cleaning Plant Sets Starting Date Dragerton, Utah Columbia-G-eneva Steel Division's new coal cleaning plant will start up this spring, according to R. M. von Storch, general su-perintendent - coal mines and quarries for U. S. Steel's wes-tern steelmaking division. Workmen are now installing machinery and equipment de-signed to wash up to 600, tons of coal per hour at the new facility near Wellington, Car-bon County. Major structures at the plant site are now largely com-plete. The principal building, housing the coal washing equipment, is erected and en-closed. Standing 13 stories high, the steel-cla- d structure dominates a 1400-acr- e site on the Pricn P.iver about two and a half miles southeast of Wel-lington. Mormon People, Mormon Schools Dear Editor, One thing that is outstand-ing to anyone not born and bred in Utah, is the way Mor-mon people brag about how perfect they are. Take for in-stance your article about everyone who wants an educa-tion can have one in Utah. If other states had as much mon-ey poured into them as Utah has, they would have as many educational opportunities to of-fer their people. Utah has tithing money from all over the world, a lot of this has been spent on educational fa-cilities for Utah. In addition to this the government has spent millions here developing metal industries for war. Ken-neco- tt Copper and U. S. Steel are allowed low taxes to en-courage their investments. They have been pumping money into Mormon Schools. In return for these funds, Mor-mons are preaching a dictat-ed economic and political philo-sophy to the students. If these philosophies are wrong and I believe part of them are, the people who learned them would be better off without an educa-tion. Sincerely, Janette Furniss. |
