Classes set for rural teachers The so-called forgotten rural school teacher out in the "boonies" isn't being forgotten at Brigham Young University. BYU is one of only a half-dozen universities in the nation offering of-fering courses which might be especially valuable to the prospective rural teacher. But BYU's new training program for rural teachers is considered unique in the nation: Students actually live with the families in rural communities where they work as teachers in both elementary and secondary schools to complete all their professional education requirements. They even help with the chores, such as milking cows, feeding the pigs, and driving the family tractor, . - Recent trends show that people in the United States are moving back to the hinterlands hin-terlands expecially during the past three years. With this trent in mind as well as the need to train teachers for rural schools, Dr. Ivan D. Muse and Dr. Kay Campbell of the BYU College of Education proposed a new rural training project working with the rural school districts in Utah. The Rural Teacher Training Program is a joint effort of the BYU College of Education, the rural school districts of northeastern nor-theastern Utah, The Northeastern Nor-theastern Education Service Center, and the Utah State Educational Agency. "Essential to the project is a trailer that has been converted into a library, classroom, and training center for the student teachers. Even regular rural teachers are encouraged to take teacher-training lessons to improve their teaching abilities," Dr. Muse said. The remodeled house trailer now parked in Roosevelt, Utah, has special equipment available to assist teachers in developing classroom skills. The consortium con-sortium of agencies has employed em-ployed a center director who assists the students in developing skills in working with rural students. BYU professors meet with the college students frequently for specialized training. The 35 student teachers are scattered from Duchesne to Vernal in various rural schools. While working in a rural environment, en-vironment, student teachers progress at their own level through the use of especially designed performance-based objectives. The training also involves seminars, micro-teaching, micro-teaching, small group work, and special speakers during the semester. Several visual aids are also on hand in the trailer including films TV video-recorders, video-recorders, and education tapes. Broad objectives of the new program include improving teacher attitudes toward working in rural areas as well as improving their basic! teaching skills. "Although we are still analyzing the program, college students and their rural school students are extremely excited about the project," Dr. Muse reported. A New Year is always a new chance a chance to do what we missed doing, or failed to do, last year. A New Year is always a new challenge a challenge to explore new areas, to experience new friends, to exhaust new ideas. With a new chance and a new challenge, it could be the best year ever. v SB fifKlCT? II ..iv'- . mm 1 Zj. "CP Springville man to head Ut ah State Lions function Marvin F.

Veterans may now complete high school requirements here Veterans who do not have a high school diploma may qualify for one through special work at Utah Technical College at Provo, with the veterans administration ad-ministration picking up the financial tab. This was announced today by Anthony Famulary, director of veterans affairs at Utah Tech under a program sponsored by the government Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Agency. Furthermore, said Mr. Famulary, such costs will not be subtracted from any college GI benefits the veteran may have coming. If he signifies an intention of continuing with college or vocational-technical college-level college-level work after getting the high school diploma, pre-tech time will be certified separately, and will not be subtracted from benefits. Mr. Famulary invited any interested veteran to contact him at this office at Utah Tech.

This latter includes counseling service and information on virtually any matter pertaining to the veterans' problems.

Contrart to anything you may have heard, we are still some distance from becomming a leisure-oriented society with a lot of unfilled and unfulfilling time on our hands. True leisure time is. actually shrinking among Americans, says Prof. Roger Blackwell of Ohio State University, even as they become more affluent. More and more time in the 24-hour day is taken up in getting to work, attending PTA meetings, working on income in-come tax returns and what not. Furthermore, he points out, the work week is not getting shorter. Overtime and second jobs have kept the average work week constant or lengthened it slightly.
