Utah State University, will be guest speaker at the Timpan-ogos Timpan-ogos Stake general priesthood meeting next Sunday, Nov. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at the stake house. President Boyd L. Fugal urges all members of the Priesthood to be in attendance and hear President Chase. Dr. Chase, is the tenth president pres-ident of Utah State University, and was born in Nephl, Utah. I lis family was engaged in farming and livestock raising. Although his major contributions contribu-tions to education have been in the fields of the social sciences and the humanities, he has maintained throughout his life, a vital interest in matters pertaining per-taining to rural development and scientific agriculture. He still pursues farming and ranching ran-ching as an avocation. Dr. Chase pursued his education edu-cation at the University of Utah (B.A), the University of California, and the University of Chicago. From the latter institution in-stitution he received thte M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. In addition to his master's and doctoral dissertations, he has published two books, "Christianity through the Centuries" Cen-turies" and "Joseph the Prophet," Proph-et," and many articles on education. edu-cation. Between 1938 and 1945 he served as head of four different dif-ferent LBS collegiate institutes affiliated with Idaho State University, Uni-versity, the University of Wyoming, Wy-oming, the University of Arizona Ari-zona and Utah State University. Univer-sity. In 1945 he became Dean of Students at Utah State University. Uni-versity. . He accepted an appointment in 1951 as Director of College of Southern Utah and returned in 1954 to Utah State University as president. Battle Well sir, big things and big changes may be expected in the educational field in Utah. Governor Rampton is calling an assembly of some 2,200 Utahns to take part in a "Conference "Con-ference on Education" set for Nov. 30 in Salt Lake City. Representatives of education, business, industry, labor, government gov-ernment and the professions have been invited. If the collective collec-tive wisdom of all these prominent prom-inent individuals could be expressed, ex-pressed, sifted, sorted, evaluated evalu-ated .and then adopted, much good could result for the children child-ren of Utah. But therein hangs the tale. The Governor is inviting, also, al-so, a number of "experts and consultants" to do most of the talking. The list includes Dr. John Fisher, president of Teachers Tea-chers College, Columbia University, Uni-versity, New York City. Everytime I hear the name of an official of Columbia Teachers Teach-ers College giving advice on how to teach school, I get the apprehensive shakes. It was the top brass of Teachers College, who came out with such diabolical dia-bolical pedagogical ideas as "Progressive Education," and "Permissiveness" and "Non-Directive "Non-Directive Teaching." Lest, in the maze and hurry of modern-day life, our readers if any, have forgotten "Progressive "Pro-gressive Education" was the program in which the students themselves, decided what they wanted to do each morning. Work, play, read, write, or figure, fig-ure, the desire of the child was paramount. "Permissiveness" was the crackpot idea that children should be permitted to do pretty pret-ty much as they pleased, other than kicking their teacher's shins or setting fire to the school house. To do otherwise, would "frustrate" the youngsters, young-sters, said the Columbian experts. w speaK at Meeting . "J mm',' ' J r.',. 1 -v v" DR. DARYL CHASE ' Will speak here Sunday Pep Club Formal Set for Next Wednesday Evening The Pleasant d ove Pep Club is now in full motion as they prepare for their annual Pep Club Formal. This year's dance has been given the theme of "Al Di La." It is going to be decorated in beautiful hues of golds, oranges and browns. The dance has been scheduled for the night of Nov. 24. The Pep Qub would like to invite all high school students and the public to this girls' choice dance. It will be held in the girl's gym and will begin at 8 o'clock p.m. Tickets will sell for $2.00 a couple. Creek S5 BrK.B. I ATI "Non-Directive Teaching" was the half-baked idea that instructors in-structors could consistently teach children without telling them what to do and to get it done now, today and not next week or sometime. In my unsolicited opinion, our detention homes, jails and pen-itentaries pen-itentaries are now filled with young irresponsibles who got their start in the "Progressive" schools of this country. It is hoped that the "Experts" "Ex-perts" and "Consultants" who address the Utah Conference on Education will speak in a language lang-uage that hard-headed businessmen business-men and industrialists can understand. un-derstand. The laymen might just think that the "Exceptional "Exception-al Child" was one considerably above the average in mentality mental-ity and ability, instead of just the reverse. Terms like "Educables," "Non-Educables" and "Atypi-cals" "Atypi-cals" might also throw the practical men for a loss on fourth down. Nothing was said in the news story of the Conference about whether the rank and file classroom class-room teachers would be invited to bear their testimonies at the conference. Seems to me that if I had a piece of sanitary equipment in the home, that was malfunctioning, malfunc-tioning, I would seek the advice of a practicing plumber. I suppose that the "new math." that is currently bedeviling be-deviling the parents of elem-tary elem-tary school children, was invented in-vented and promulgated by an "Expert." I asked a veteran elementary school principal, the other day, if he thought the "New Math" was better than thei old math. Said he, "I can't exactly say that it's any better. All I can say is that it's new" I sincerely hope; that the Governor's Conference bats a higher average tluui this. So long 'til Thursday. city Fa,hers Va,idate Eecton Returns, Conduct Other Business Mayor Paul T. Fordham and members of the Pleasant Grove City Council met in regular session last Monday night with everyone in attendance. Councilman Gerald Klemm moved that the official canvas of the recent municipal election be accepted and that certificates certifi-cates of election be issued to Mayor Fordham, Councilman Jesse K. Thome, and Councilman Council-man elect Dr. Jay F. Harmer. The motion was seconded and passed. Councilman Klemm also moved that the Neff Engineering Engineer-ing Company of Salt Lake City be retained to prepare engineering engin-eering specifications for the contemplated water and sewer improvements approved by the taxpayers at the recent bond election. The motion was seconded sec-onded and passed. Fred Keetch, in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, recommended recom-mended that A. B. Gibson be appointed to represent Pleasant Vandals Break Windows, Police Are Investigating Police Chief Glen Newman reported that suspected juveniles juven-iles used their Parents Day vacation last Friday to perpetrate perpe-trate a wave of vandalism in North Pleasant Grove. At least 45 window panes were smashed smash-ed in the building currently being used by the Provo Water Users Association. . Although the perpetrators of the window smashing have not been apprehended as yet, Police Po-lice officers are working on several promising clues. Par-' ents or other citizens are being asked to cooperate in helping to solve the crime, Chief New-' man said. He also asked for cooperation of students, parents, businessmen business-men and the general public in helping to stem the tide of candy and food wrappers and soft drink cans currently littering litter-ing the Main Street each day. "The litter of one student is not much; but when multiplied by a hundred or so, the aggregate aggre-gate mess is disgraceful," Chief Newman said. Opportunities Are Given Students at Utah Trade Tech High school students from nearby school districts can enroll en-roll in shop or laboratory classes class-es at Utah Trade Technical Institute In-stitute at Provo, while completing complet-ing academic studies at the home high school. The High School Division of Utah Trade Tech was created by the state legislature to offer high school students a more comprehensive curriculum. Utah Trade Tech serves as an extension to the high schools in the Alpine, Nebo, Provo, and Wasatch school districts. Students in the high school division are grouped in classes consisting only of high school students. The post high school is separated from .the high school program. The centralized or area school concept was created to offer trade and technical courses cour-ses that are unavailable in the home high school: Trade Tech has a workable program presently with 189 high school students enrolled. These students are offered courses in auto body repair, auto mechanics, building construction, con-struction, business and secretarial secre-tarial science, commercial art, drafting, electronics, industrial science, interior decorating, machine shop and welding. Classes which meet high school graduation requirements are American problems, American Am-erican history, English, mathematics, mathe-matics, and general science. Local school districts can offer of-fer their students a broader education by taking advantage of Utah Trade Tech as an area vocational school. R is costly for each high school to offer what is available at UTTI. Utah Trade Tech is well equipped with both instructors in-structors and machines to prepare pre-pare youth for future employment Grove City on the board of directors of Utah Valley Industrial Indust-rial and Development Association.

Mr. Keetch relayed a request re-quest to the Council from Mrs. Alice Simper, chairman of the City Beautification Committee. Mrs. Simper asked that the tall weeds be removed from in front of the "Welcome" sign at the south entrance to Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove. Councilman Paul Adamson stated that he would ask Paul Peterson, chairman of "Timp-anogos "Timp-anogos Association" to place the weed removal on the fall program of the association as a project for the Boy Scouts. Councilman Reed O. Walker recommended that a fence be constructed along the west border of the City Cemetery. Clive Beck, representing the Pleasant Grove Javcees informed inform-ed the council that the club was going ahead with plans for street Christmas decorations.
