Future Association HIGH height 5 By ROSELYN KIRK The tie between Davis County Schools and the Davis County Library system may be weakened and eventually severed based on recommendations from Davis County Library Director Jeanne Layton and Superintendent of Schools Bernell Wrigley. SHE SAID in the letter, The library processing center is a department of the Davis School District. The activities in the Library Processing Center are governed by the school district not the Davis County Library." The report from the State Board of Education had suggested the county schools investigate the services of Library Commission, which can purchase books at a high discount and rapidly process them. The library board had previously considered using this service, but at that time had recommended that the county public libraries not subscribe. the-Stat- THE DAVIS County Library Board appointed Miss Layton and Superintendent Wrigley to investigate whether the State Library Commission could catalog books for the schools and the library less ex- pensively than the present library processing center. The present center processes books for both the school district and the county library system. Miss Layton said, since the Davis County Public Libraries currently purchase $80,000 in books, while the schools purchase over $54,900, both agencies are large enough to function separately. SUPERINTENDENT said Wrigley that some time down the road the school district may need additional personnel to take over the library system. Its not easy for one person to report in two directions at once. She is employed by the school district, but works half time for the county. The county reimburses the school district. THE MATTER of the double library function came into public focus on March 22 when Dr. LeRoy Lindeman, State Board of Education, presented an evaluation of the media in Davis Schools. That report, gleaned from an interview of Davis teachers, said that the processing of printed material was slow, taking as much as one to four years for material ordered to be processed. MISS LAYTON said, while she disagrees with some of the findings of the report, "it brought to a head the duplication of the cataloging system and made the public aware of the problems that are there. She said, when the central system was set up in 1945, neither the school system or the library system could get off the ground without the other. The combination resulted in combining the purchasing powers and developed a consolidated system of cataloging and processing. That was the reason for the consolidation." THE LIBRARY board and Supt. Wrigley agreed that at one time sharing facilities and personnel was a strength, but considered the possibility that the system may have expanded too much to be effective. They said originally neither the school nor the public library were large enough for a processing center individually but now that may have changed. Miss Layton had previously said, in a letter to Mr. Lindeman, and released to the press that she felt there was an obvious effort to make the Davis County Library a seapegoat for problems that are not the concern in any way of the public The pilot was identified as Terry Schafer, 29, and his passengers were Delmont and Georgia Slusher and Steve Douglas, all of Jeffrey City, Wyo. HC-13- 0 search plane Pararescue men aboard were Technical Sgt. Tim Reynolds and Senior Airman Davis Bogele. THE MISSION was completed about noon and the injured persons are reported in fair cundiliuii in a Jack-soWyo., hospital. The crew helicopter immediately went out on another rescue mission. This s time it was to the area of Wyoming where they picked up a deputy sheriff in Worland, MISS LAYTON said when the matter was considered earlier the board had decided - on her recommendation - not to use the service. The decision as to whether the schools use the agency will have to be made by She said if the county the schools. libraries should now decide to go with the state agency, that some cataloging adjustments would have to be made to incorporate the procedure into the county -- system. Supt. Wrigley and Miss Layton both pointed out that the survey conducted in the schools by Kenneth Neal, media specialist for the state school board, showed a lack of communication between local schools and the administration. SUPT. WRIGLEY said he had hoped that communication from local schools could filter through Davis Media Coordinator Edwin Cammack and then be communicated to him instead of surfacing in the report. He added that the recommendations, made by the state board, that professionally trained media coordinators be hired for each school was unrealistic. He estimated it would cost the district about $600,000 to hire the 62 experts needed. SUPT. WRIGLEY said he had been in contact with Russell Davis of the state library who said up to $80,000 might be saved if the schools used the state library process. He plans to investigate that claim. Miss Layton said she felt the library board should investigate the processing for the county library as well. Although both Miss Layton and Superintendent Wrigley intend to investigate that option, the superintendent said he could not act without the sanction of the Davis Board of Education. LYNETTE Wilson, a member of the library board, asked whether the public libraries tell the schools what books they can order. This claim had been made in the report from the state board of education. Both Miss Layton and Supt. Wrigley denied this. In most cases books are purchased on the principals recommendation and are initiated by the principal. Miss Layton said, On occasion I might question one book, but that is rare. Supt. Wrigley said due to special programs, different books are needed by schools than are ordered for public patrons, rk THE SEARCH mission was unsuccessful, however, and the helicopter crew is back at Hill AFB awaiting another search and rescue mission call.

It sometimes seems to me there is a lot more that I didnt learn at school than that I did. The teachers tried, but I have good resistance. THE SECOND time Id have more respect for the subjects I didnt take to by instinct. Geometry, for ina was college stance, requirement so I took it in high school, but I was the only girl in a class with the whole DATES, FOR example. I have a fairly good idea of sequences of history, but the only dates I can recall with certainty are 1776, 1812 and 1945 and my own birthday. Im a little vague about just what happened in 1912 except that there was a war of it. carried me through to victory without much interest or understanding of geometry adhering on the way.

And time of 25.7 seconds. football HOW TO diagram sentences was a class I didn't sleep through. I couldnt. The confusion in my brain would wake any scholar. What I did through that class was fake a lot. I became a fairly expert faker, and diagramming sentences was a skill I could have used. once worked with a Japanese girl who made me realize how little I know about my native language. She was almost too smart to be for I real. WHAT SHE could do with numbers I still don't believe, but when she wrote English, she must have been writing Japanese style because she got subjects and objects and prepositions all mixed up. She once wrote a letter requesting expiration date be notified of this office. When I would have corrected her, she diagrammed the sentence and proved that was the correct way to say it, and all I could do was fall back on that lame reason, do it the way I say whether you like it or not. Since that day Ive always had a little sympathy for Pilate. It's always nice to be able to prove youre right. IT'S probably a good thing I went to school when I did rather than waiting a generation. Kids have to learn too much too fast now. They say the knowledge in any field doubles every 10 years so today's kids have to get a running start just to keep from falling behind. went back and started over could fill in some of the gaps my casual interest left in my first trip Maybe if 1 1 and they ometry and isles classes I The real mechanics of English is something else I must have daydreamed through. I know that words like run and walk and sit are verbs and things like table and dog and flower are nouns, but if you start to get much more technical, I run for the nearest dictionary. team think the second trip I I wouldn't try to find out which teachers were the easy ones. ID LOOK for teachers who expected something before handing out a passing grade. Its probably too late for me to go back to school except for PTA. If knowledge were money, wed work harder to get it and be more careful about keeping the interest up. YOU JUST never know when stray bits of information might come in handy. Like the man I heard about who submitted his income tax return In Roman numerals. I don't know what the Infernal Revenuers did about it, but I can Imagine his glee as he prepared that tax return. If I could go back to school, Id learn Italian so I could read Dante In the original. Even if I didn't understand It, how think Impressed everyone would be. HALF THE fun of an education is in knowing things. The other half the fun comes from what other people think you know.
