Show PARENTS OPPOSE SATURDAY SCHOOL Group Assembled - Sunday Inani-mously Inani-mously Object to Six-day Six-day Week. At a meeting of approximately two hundred St. George parents and teachers held Sunday in the Dixie College auditorium, the proposal that school be held on Saturday in order to make j up the eight-month term with I less expense to the teachers, was ! unanimously opposed.

Inasmuch as the teachers had offered to teach for three weeks without pay to make up the full term, it was held by some that a six-day week would decrease their expense proportionately. propor-tionately. The financial condition of the county was explained by Superintendent Super-intendent Mlton E. Moody. Up to the time of the meeting no definite assurance had been received re-ceived from banking companies that the $10,000 loan necessary for the maintenance of school for the seven months and one week, exclusive of the three weeks the teachers are giving gratis, would be made, and the full term is still uncertain. In case that financial assistance assist-ance is not received, the high schools of Hurricane, Enterprise, and junior high of St. George will be obliged to close, as well as the grades. The third and fourth years of high school here are under the control of the L. D. S. church, and it is believed that arrangements would be made for maintaining them the full term. |
