Continued from page B- -l both full boards of the two school districts meet for a budget hearing and to review the past years work. After the budget is approved Union Board of Control again supervises the affairs of the school for another year. It is therefore understood, that policies and practices in this school are approved and supported jointly and by the two districts involved. The salary schedule for teachers at Union High School is a composit schedule of those offered in each of the districts so that the contribution towards the salary from each district towards the teachers salaries at Union would not exceed that which the district pays under its own schedule. In the past four years of operation the enrollment of pupils in Union High School from each county has never differed more than twenty pupils, and the total enrollment has been from 484 to cjgj5 Doll are TOTAL (j Qv.0 if-- SSo.ooo 500,000.

Creates Problems By Supt. Rowan C. Stutz To understand tHe real problem of transportation of students to the schools of the district, the taxpayer must give consideration to the size of our county, the widely scattered population and the condition of the roads over which our busses must travel. busses travel The twenty-eigover 1000 miles each day to transport 1400 pupils to and from school. Less than 200 miles of this travel is on surfaced roads and much of the travel is on third class roads. These busses must travel in all kinds of weather and over the most extreme road conditions. The average bus student is transported 25 miles a day (both ways). Some students, however ride 62 miles daily on a school bus. The school transportation system attempts to provide transportation to school for every child living more than ll2 miles from school. However, some families live so far out of the way or on such poor roads that arrangements are made with these parents to transport their children to the nearest bus stop. With busses operating under these conditions, maintenance and repair becomes a major operation. For this purpose, three maintenance centers are maintained at Duchesne and Roosevelt. Minor repairs are made at each of these terminals and all major repairs are made in the central gare age at Duchesne, where a mechanic is employed. Transportation costs for the 1954-5- 5 school year totaled Of this $13,672.85 was spent for new busses and the remainder for the operation and maintenance of the busses on the 27 routes. It has been necessary to replace a bus after it has been operated for about ten years. This necessitates the purchasing of three new busses each year. -- full-tim- $69,-200.7- 4. from page B- -l telligent citizenry of tomorrow, forming judgments without being swayed by propaganda, then teaching children to become intelligent readers and thinkers because they can read well continues to be an important objective of our schools now and throughout the foreseeable future. To accomplish this, we need a greater abundance of interesting easy reading material in our schools so that children will form the habit of gaining information and enjoyment from the printed page. The greatest learning is said to take place between a child and his book. In order that children may develop a deep sense of identification with society and its members and a personal conviction of his individual worth, two things are necessary: 1. We shall have to avoid anything which causes the child to feel that he is an outsider and do everything within reason to help him feel that he is a participant in society with pride in its achievements and a stake in its future. 2. We shall have to do more than we have done to help the child respect his potentialities and his talents to discover that he has something to give to the world, and that what he does makes a difference. Much of the teaching today is with real experiences in which children have a part in choosing what they will study and in planning with the teacher the activities involved. At the end of a unit of work they help evaluate their experiences, ways of working together and point out where they Continued 1950-5- 1 1951-5- 2 1952-5- 3 1953-5- 4 Nine-Mil- e Roosevelt Elementary Roosevelt Junior High Tabiona Elementary Tabiona High Talmage Elementary Union High Total A.D.A.

Only the learnings which a child selects and accepts unconsciously or deliberately becomes a part of. himself. This is one reason why a child may have failed to learn phonics or some other fact even though the teacher may have been very diligent in teaching it. Children live in a world of science including not only the things of his natural environment but many things invented by man. Science teaching should develop in the child scientific attitudes such as a curiosity in searching for reliable information; changing ideas and opinions when new evidence is produced; learning to distinguish between fact and fancy; and find valid ways of checking his thinking. We must have a program in science which deals with the concerns, interests, and needs of children. It should include those understandings which will help children live securely in todays world through an understanding of the world about him. Meade said, One Margaret thing we know is that we dont know what children will have to adjust to in the future. Therefore, it is our duty to help each child live to the fullest each day they are under our care. These things we are sincerely trying to do in our teaching in Duchesne County. Teachers are always anxious to improve their methods of instruction. No one of us, working alone, can bring within the reach of all children that which the best parent wishes for his own.

Smith, Duchesne, Utah In order for the children of Duchesne County to realize the most from their school opportunities, it is essential that they be physically prepared to do so. Dr. Smith lists the following as a guide to obtain this goal. SLEEP There is considerable individual variation on the amount required. In general a growing child should have about ten hours of sleep per night. The younger child requires more, and the older child may need only eight. Retirement at an early hour is best; and the late activities should be curtailed especially during the school week. The exhausted child is the one who is most apt to contract polio or rheumatic fev- In the last four years a total of 11-1- 2, In Duchesne County Decline Slightly By Supt. Rowan C.
