That's proof positive that Spring is just a "whoop and a holler" away, as they say in the hills of Arkansas. Well sir, I for one, am ready for it.' It's been a long, chilly and slippery pull. Even if the Ground Hog was right, Old Man Winter should run out of breath along about March 15. And that's good news to all and sundry. 1 Another good omen of Spring came in the mail the other day.-It day.-It was a letter from John C. Evans, Jr., Executive Secretary Secre-tary of the Utah Educational Association. John inferred that since I was a retired educator and also a writer of sorts, he wanted to keep me informed about the coming confrontation in April. Well sir, all that is to be expected. ex-pected. As long as this scribe can remember, the squabbles between teachers and taxpayers taxpay-ers have usually broken out early during the fourth month of the year. Hence, it's a sure sign of Spring True to his word, John sent along last Saturday, a beautifully beauti-fully printed and illustrated booklet, written by himself and V. v Stady tent and Principal Calvin Walker, Walk-er, erosion and winter blooming bloom-ing and trees.

The booklet gives a brief history his-tory of public education in Utah from 1847 until now. It tells of the 1962-63 teacher uprising in Utah, the organization organiza-tion of CAPS, the battle with the 1963 Utah Legislature and the appointment of Governor Clyde's "Research Committee for Utah's Schools." The booklet concludes with a plea that intelligence and reason rea-son may be the controlling factors fac-tors in the battle for "More Money for, Education," expected expect-ed to flare up again during April of 1964. It is the hope of this column that this year's contest if and when it comes, will be waged on a higher plane than the one in 1963. "More Money for Utah's Schools',, is a thorny and many sided problem. It concerns practically everyone within the confines of the state. It involves those who give and those who take those who pay and those who receive. - May nothing except sane reason, motivate those who conduct the contest on both sides this year. - So long 'til Thursday, Hfth 1 1 jp- y !
