The headlines. "School Costs Mount as Less Pupils Pu-pils Attend' is justified by the figures fig-ures given to the Tribune reporter. Tb-ase figures destroy confidence . in the board of education and the administration. Where they came from is a mystery. mys-tery. The attendance figures are not only incorrect, but mislead ing. As to the mounting of costs for 1928, the present superintendent, in so far as he was responsible tor expenditure, was responsible only for budget allowance which were made up by the previous superintendent sup-erintendent and O. K'd by the board at the annual public meet-ins- What are the facts about attendance? at-tendance? Examination of the reports re-ports aent under oath by the clerk to the State Department show the enrollment figures for the years 1927 to 1931 inclusive to be as follows: fol-lows: respectively, 3530, 3495, '3798. 3843. 3907-a total increase of 377 students enrolled. The enrollment does not give an accurate index of attendance. The average daily attendance figure fig-ure for each year shows the actual daily service given to Provo children. chil-dren. For the years 1927-1931 Inclusive, In-clusive, they are respectively; 3109. 3194, 3268, 3234, and 3463. A constant con-stant consistent increase is here shown, except for 1930 when the school experienced four epidemics. 8 the annual health report of that vcar will photv. Fven so. the total increase is 354. This means that iaily there have been in ttendance in school in Provo city a complete school about the size of the Timp-anogos Timp-anogos school where 13 teachers ire employed. In other words, with the increased daily attendance, 13 -dditional. teachers. can be justified if the base used In the article referred re-ferred to is justified. A new building should be provided, pro-vided, maintained, and operated. It appears that some costs should be increased since 354 more students stud-ents have been served daily. No additional teachers have been given giv-en to t'ate. However, some are needed and will be given under the board policy next. year. If these fi:?ure3 fnl to convince the skeptical that the schools are piving more service, a comparison of aggregated daily attendance may help. The .figures for the years above shown are respectively: '-2. C-W. 552. 672. 571. 814. 559. 510. 59. 034, or a maximum increase of 29.751 for 1929 or 1971 for 1931.

In his early days Longstreet. stood as erect as a Sequoia, 6 feet 6 inches in his moccasins. His last public appearance was on -a Fourth of July celebration in Tonopah, where at the . age of 88 he rode in the old man's horse race and won by a nose.
