Lea-dership." The award marks the fifth anniversary of Dr. Talbot's tenure ten-ure as State Superintendent. Board member Lila Bjorklund presented the award and expressed ex-pressed appreciation from the 11 member group. An inscribed school bell was also presented to Dr. Talbot as a symbol of the Board's esteem. In accepting the award, Dr. Talbo reviewed his own expectations expec-tations for Utah's educational system. "Administrative Officer for the State Board of Education," Educa-tion," he stated, "my chief responsibility is to carry out the Board's policies and priorities. One of our major concerns during dur-ing the last five years has been involvement of the public in education. First, I believe it is the people who should determine deter-mine what role the schools should play in solving individual and community problems. But more important, the people should assume more responsib-lity responsib-lity for the management of education edu-cation simply because is is theirs by right. Education belongs to the people. And all areas of education should be under their control. This includes in-cludes curriculum content, classroom teaching and student behavior." "We have been developing different dif-ferent means whereby the public pub-lic can voice their concerns as well as help with actural educational educa-tional decision making," continued contin-ued Dr. Talbot. Reviewing his own beliefs about the direction public education edu-cation should maintain, Dr. Talbot Tal-bot defined the Humanization of the educational process: "I believe that the educational system should serve the individual indivi-dual needs of the students. This means, in the first place, taught all students regardless of social background or mental or physical limitations should have equal access to all of our educational educa-tional programs. And those programs should be developed on the basis cf individual need. I would also like to see students accept a heavier measure of participation in educational management." Dr. Talbot also reported on a few of the frustrations associated associat-ed with being the Superintendent Superinten-dent of Public Instruction here in Utah.

Right now we are barely able to maintain main-tain our ongoing programs, let alone give any new direction to education." "For instance, I would like to see our teachers hired for 200 days instead of the 180 now required. This would allow time for planning, curriculum development, deve-lopment, and teacher training -but it would also cost more. I also believe we need to spend more money on curriculum development, to insure that our teaching materials are efficient The following people were treated at the American Fork Hospital during the week of May 3, 1975.

We also need to add many educational progrms to our sytem to develop well rounded and prepared students - things like citizenship training, train-ing, instruction in productive thinking, and understanding and coping with emotions." In summarizing the educational educa-tional progress made during this half decade, Dr. Talbot referred to measurable progress in areas such as equal educational opportunity, op-portunity, public involvement in education, bilingual bicultural education, and a significant movement toward free public education with free textbooks and materials for all students and a removal of age barriers for all students who have not graduated from high school." "I believe strongly in the public pub-lic education system," concluded conclud-ed the experienced educator, "And even though 1 argue with the system at times, it's only a lover's quarrel. Education will succeed. Its classrooms wiii expand ex-pand to encompass the total process of life. And with that, education will meet all peoples' varying potentials, aspirations and needs."
