Show May 1957 As I read the to the Graduates of 1957 in the Standard recently it spurred me on to writing what I've been thinking I the Editor of the Standard sees fit to publish I am just wondering what kind of an Education lies ahead for future graduates of Duchesne School District in the years to Personally I think it is when I hear the reports of how hard our and his Co-workers have to get qualified teachers for the following school with no luck and so many vacancies to be As the school season draws near he'll have to hire someone to fill these vacancies regardless of their I understand this situation is brought about because of Because of the lack of funds to pay teachers as much as they can get in other districts we have to sit back and watch such men as Stanley Brady and others disappear from our a future Education for my family is my greatest desire and I'm sure other parents agree with To provide the type of Education that we parents long for our children to some expenses have got to be cut in order to put the expense in the proper How can one county operate so many schools as Duchesne With no major industry to draw high taxes no wonder we run short of Why don't we use the money we spend on fuel and over-head and operate one High School besides Why do we use our tax dollars to build a new high school in Duchesne when we have already gone to the expense to build a beautiful Edifice in and not enough students go there to justify Why do we operate the Elementary at Neola and Myton when the students could be accommodated much cheaper by Of course there is the problem of transportation and that couldn't be any worse than the elementary students from Bridgeland and Arcadia put up My children board the bus at to ride six miles to Myton and return at In my estimation they as well be riding as playing in the snow and mud while they wait for the bus to come from I don't know the answers to all the problems that would I do know that the people of Duchesne school district have to Co-operate maintain the standard of Education we We have men who are educated in these fields we hire and pay with our tax money that could solve these problems if we as school board members and patrons would get behind them and work with them instead of against I can well imagine the response the school board would get from Duchesne to consolidate and not do it in These people should move out of and look at it as an They would realize the facilities arc already in Why not take advantage of What a Wonderful school we'd Lets move to our neighboring county over to Kamas Valley where in my grade school I was a victim of My folks were against people bucked Go there now and everyone is in favor of consolidation they have one of the most modem grade schools in the state of There is the problem of some teachers being under paid while other teachers are being over Lets consolidate and eliminate the over paid don't earn their and pay the under paid ones Elda Van Tassell Utah |
