How could she meet the children often enough, having to spread her visits ever so wide an area? Again, keeping in mind the Drosrant had to be proved worth while to merit appropriation of state funds, Mrs. Farks earnestly went to' work. First, the area was divided in five sections : 1. Lehi, Cedar Fort and Fairfield: 2. American Fork, ' Alpine and Highland; 3. Pleasant Grove and Manila; 4.,orem; 5. Provo RFD and Provo Canyon. Since the program was inaugurated inaugu-rated in the district, 40 students have had actual visiting teacher instruction. Mrs. Parks averages from 10 to 20 pupils per month. Each case is given individual consideration. It can readily be seen that more than ordinary training is needed. There are various physical conditions of the students to consider. The largest number of students unable un-able to attend school are recuperating recup-erating from rheumatic fever effects. ef-fects. There are those who have had polio, who have injuries through accidents, have , been burned, who are spastie, are paralyzed, etc. Unless the student is to be out of school for a month or more he is not accepted. Mrs. Parks dees not enter homes where members of the family have contagious con-tagious diseases. The students must be physically able to be taught and only after the initial period of illness is over. This visiting teacher program adheres to a rigid schedule. , . 30 hours a week and 130 hours a month of actual teaching, with the balance of her time taken up in report work, contacting teachers teach-ers for current lessons, materials, books, etc. and traveling. f , Mrs. Parks her students ranging rang-ing from 6 to 18 years of age. She doesn't pretend to be able to give instruction on every subject sub-ject but she does strive to find information to help the individual, individ-ual, and in this phase ; of . the work the teachers are most cooperative, co-operative, she states. If she finds a student needing instructions instruc-tions outside her training, she endeavors to get that training. For instance there were several students who desired typing, so Mrs. Parks promptly enrolled in a typing class at American Fork high school and kept far enough ahead of her pupils to keep them abreast of their class. The visiting teacher service of the Alpine school district enables en-ables children who must stay at home through illness to get up-to-date schooling in their homes. LaRetta Adams is 11. She is the twin sister of VaNetta and they are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Adams cf Highland. High-land. The girls are 6th grade students. Last fall LaRetta was forced to remain at home because of rheumatic fever. She was a mighty unhappy little girl.
