Utah Education Praised. Tim Utah educational program wan termed by U. A. l'rosser, of Washington, Ij. C, and 1 r. Perry Li. Hidden, another visiting educator, ay not only the best In tho United States, but perhaps in the world. Both speakers lauded the state's oducational plan, and especially the vocational vo-cational and compulsory part-time schedules. sched-ules. Mr. Pressor said if Utah succeeds in tho present plan of educating all youths tip to IS years of ut;u the v. hole nation ulll look up to her. "Tho whole, thing', how ever, rests on tho region that has it in charge." he. declared, ";ind every business organisation organisa-tion should help the educators put the plan over. Returns will net come immediately, im-mediately, but utter a w Idle, and education educa-tion will" heir the state of Utah put uv)' a program t hat will do things that will iuhKc better ell izens, ho hi turn will v t rant-unit citizenship to the decades to come,. "That Is tho largest measure of any Mate civilisation, and the state of Utah lias pUI Itself in first place in the spirit to sacrifice and. prepare for tomorrow. 11' you can put this program over, Utah will stand first ainony all states, hut it; will take the cooperation of the business men to put it over," l.M leldeii said he could say Amen to overv word of Air. Prosser's address, and stated, he had said I he time would come w hen i he rest of t be world would come lo Utah and study the advance in education edu-cation there. lie s;id it was up to Utah to take advantage, of her opportunity and prepare, so the rest of the world could follow. South Dakota Aided. Dr. 1 i old en, in speaking of t be - alue of vecat ioual eduea l ion. not only lauded Utah's program, but stated that the .South Uakota plan had largely been "put over" witn th.' help of four of Utah's educators. educa-tors. lie cut to that state and aided tu the state w ide cam pa ign to encourage tho development of rural schools. These men, be said, were Oscar A. Kirk ham, local Uoy Scout executive, who surprised tho people of South I akota with his enterprise en-terprise in Hoy Scout work ; Urancis V. Klrkham. state dbvetm- of vocational education; 1. li. Hall, state superintendent of agricult ure, and I . i '. Jensen, of the state beard of educa lion. "There's some wonderful changes that must come," said Mr. 1 1 olden. "If there Is any one thing that Is needed, it is to fit the children for oca t tens. Wo have been taking our children away from the farms for education. I believe "they should have education brought lo them on the farms. I believe money should be expended ex-pended to t rai n farmers, just as much as to train professional men. The greatest great-est lack of education today is efficiency. "The most I in pertain thing in life is A human being, and second greatest tiling is to make it possible for tho human being to live. U takes only one thing to make a nation, and that's great people, peo-ple, and the only way to make people great is to wain them. "Your state, more than any other state tn the I'u ion, looks after its boys and girls, prepares them lor what thev are to do. Urges Sale of System. "But we've get to put better things into our educational systems, and T think the biggest thing is to sell education. As Utah is to be made, so America is to be made. I therefore think Utah could not be better advertised than bv selling her educational system. Utah should offer a loOOO prize, open to the world for the best essay on 'What Salt Lake ami Utah YVhl Be in 1950. The best plan accepted m'uiu l-c tcau ai. tut oegiumnu oi evorv Fchool term until the sentiment is instilled into the hearts of all. "The people of Salt Uake hae built more intelligently than those of anv other city. If you. therefore, can train the youth of today they will take care of all tomorrow. You must keep voiir teaciit'-s at home. You've also got to' create sentiment senti-ment to make your men teachers stick to the profession, fot you lose maiiv, as the tendency today is for brains to so where money is. .. "There must be effieieuev, for whatever what-ever you expect to find in a nation tomorrow to-morrow must be taught in the schoo's of today. In training students they : should not be severely criticised but should be taught rt-al things, and new 1 things, not the same routine vear afte" ! year. " " "This can be accomplished bv making ! a rural survey, by conducting state-wide ! campaign for education, establish. n-c a home for teachers, by employing teacher twelve months in a year, for children need training: just as much when soi:ooi :s out as when it is in session, and bv an increase in-crease of salaries." Next Tuesaa evening will be ladies' night, and a Christmas and Xew Year's program of features has been planned unuer the direction of Wesley E. King of j the program committee. |
