I ' At 0 J7 j JvQM&eH&e I f $ l -By INEZ RIDING h Wednesday, Dec. 6, the Millard School Board of Education will meet in regular session at Fillmore. I call this meeting to your attention atten-tion because the report of Architect Dell Ashworth on the condition of Delta High School will probably be given at this time. I'm intensely interested in hearing that report. Coming as a complete surprise to many people were the recommended recommend-ed consolidations of the State Survey Sur-vey team. I still do not understand the purpose oi these recommended consolidations. At present, all of the elementary schools in the district dist-rict other than Delfa Elementary and Fillmore Elementary are what is known as "special schools". The definition of a "sipecial school" is nebulous to me. I have a general idea of what it is but not clear enough to try putting it on paper. Anyway," if the recommended consolidations con-solidations are adopted by the local lo-cal board will the schools that come out of these consolidations be another form of "special schools" or will they be fully-graded elementary schools? If the answer ans-wer is that they will still be "special "spe-cial schools", then how many years will it be before State again recommends re-commends more consolidation to remove another "special school"? If some of the consolidated schools are not fully-graded schools why do a half way job? Another point to keep in mind in reaching a decision Is the amount of money spent In Millard District during the last bonding (1957). In the west Desert area a total of 551,000 was spent. Garrison received re-ceived $45,000 and Gandy, $6,000. In the Delta area a total of $123,-000 $123,-000 was spent, as follows: DHS, $89,000; Hinckley, $13,000; Delta Elementary, $4,000; "Sutherland, $7,000; Lynndyl, $2,000; Leamington, Leaming-ton, $3,000 and Oak City, $5,000. This makes a sum total of $174,-000 $174,-000 for west Millard school plants . v r could be asked concerning these In the Fillmore area a total of two Millard recommended $526,000 was spent in the following consolidations, manner: Millard Jr. Hi and gym-1 T , . , . nasium. $280,000 Millard High' h.aank you for vour letr and School. $129,000; Kanosh, $99,000; ,av commen ts especially in Holden, $4,000; Meadow, $5,000; h V V "I ? not opposed Scipio. $5,000 and Fillmore Elemen- ho?1 buildings but let's to hear; our teachers can still grade papers in the hall because of the lack of teacher stations; Principal Bennett can still greet you as warmly in his cramped quarters as he could in larger ones; we can patch AGAIN the large crack in the wall that greets your eyes when you first enter the building build-ing at the main entrance; Mr. Seegmiller's class can still meet in the same inadequate room; we can still extoll our teaching staff's fine points to the heavens; AND WE CAN STILL THROW STUMBLING BLOCKS IN FRONT OF THEM BY NOT PROVIDING PROPER TOOLS FOR THEIR USE IN THEIR TEACHING TEACH-ING OF OUR CHILDREN. And so Reader in Fillmore who penned me a letter stating that I may be overlooking a point in my "crusade for new schools to be built in the right places is the fact that regardless what the survey team decided, Scipio has one of the nicest school plants in the county" my answer is that I have not been overlooking that point, at all. Both recommended consolidations consolida-tions of this side hold the same question. Oak City's school plant is in reasonably good condition and so is Sutherland's. I do not understand under-stand the consolidations at all as they may still fall short of graded schools. Although I might not agree with recommended consolidations into Delta and Fillmore for all schools other than the west Desert area, at least, I could understand them because that would certainly result in fully-graded schools. You state in your letter "With very little expense it (Scipio) could well house the Holden school children. child-ren. I have worked in most of the school buildings in Millard County and to me it seems silly to transport trans-port students from Scipio to a new one in Holden. It is just as far one way as the other." That is a good question. I think, and one that was raised at the November 1 meeting in Fillmore. The same question DESERET MRS. EDNA CHRISTENSEN Elder Richard Talbot of the Oak Mrs. F. M. Western for Thanksgiv City Ward was the speaker in Sac rament meeting Sunday evening. He just recently returned from a mission where he labored in Ten-nesse Ten-nesse and Kentucky. He gave a very interesting talk. We appreciate appreci-ate his coming because he' had to drive all the way up to Logan a-lone a-lone after church services. Most of our missionaries are willing to give of their time and talents and sacrifice sac-rifice a little if they can be of service ser-vice to others. A special number was sung by the choir. Thanksgiving brought many visitors vis-itors to our ward but they have all returned to their homes now. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Warner had Cecil's sister, Doris and husband and children from California eat Thanksgiving dinner with them. They arrived Wednesday night and went on to Salt Lake Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Warner and family came down from Ogden on Friday and visited with Cecil and Fern until Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Leone Croft and daughter Becky arrived in town Tuesday to .visit relatives and friends. They live in Henderson. Nevada. John G. Western was unsuccessful unsuccess-ful in getting his elk on his first hunt so Thursday he and his brothers bro-thers Tony and Wallace went a-gain a-gain and this time John got his elk. Congratulations John, pretty good work for a boy. Mr. and Mrs. Matt Cropper spent a day in Salt Lake recently. Max Jensen and David Hales were home from the BYU for the Thanksgiving holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Erickson and boys from Smithfield visited with Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Erickson and other relatives from Wednesday till Sunday afternoon.

CUT WITH SHEARS 1ACK ON SECURELY 1 i tary, 54.000. This amount was spent for the needs of approximately 1094 students. Even I. can subtract and find that we have 560 or more students here in west Millard. Another An-other figure to keep in mind. It is good, I think, that the needs of Millard High and Junior High have been cared for with the exception ex-ception of a needed vo-ag building. build-ing. According to the survey team's findings an enrollment of 450 pupils pu-pils attended Fillmore Jr. and Sr. High last year. There is no doubt to anyone but that the district needs larger quarters quar-ters to house Delta Jr. H'gh students. stu-dents. There is no doubt in my mind that Delta High School needs are just as great. In DJHS there were 330 pupils registered last year. ..Approximately ..320 ..pupils were enrolled in DHS. We had an enrollment of 650 last year. The enrollment is nearly the same th's year with a decline in senior high and a rise in junior high. Our aud itorium of 380 seats is used by both schools. And to sit through a performance per-formance in that is an experience that no one should miss. If the fans are turned on, no one can hear. If the fans are left off, then we suffocate. There is no choice. We have H teacher stations in the high school bu lding and that includes library space which is being be-ing used daily. Classes from both DJHS and DHS are held every school day in the LBS Seminary build ng. Boys physical education program is carried on 2 12 blocks a-way a-way in the LDS owned gymnasium. Administrative., facilit'es ..in ..DHS are inadequate. The school food service is housed in a frame build- ng built years ago. of 1900 square feet, which holds 23 tables. 425 pupils from both schools eat here every day. The five ladies who work this "hot spot" have 520 sq. ft. of working space and 225 sq. It. of storage. If the architect's report states that the DHS building is sound, has anyone g'.ven any thought to jsing it for DJHS? As far as the argument of too much space for junior high goes, read on. The recommendations rec-ommendations for a new junior high plant calls for a building that ncludes instructional spaces for 12 t.eachers including a general science sci-ence unit, a satisfactory administrative admini-strative suite, guidance facilities, i.oilet rooms, storage spaces, and spaces for the custodian and other needed auxiliary facilities. It would appear that junior hign would have an ideal home. If the architect's report states that the CHS building is unsound then the district would seem to have no alternative but to provide a plant for both DJHS and CHS. To the argument about moral obligations to the other population area (meaning the Fillmore area) that goes bjth ways, doesn't it? Anyway you look at it we still have 55U more students to care for. Yes. we can prop our "outward-going" "outward-going" east wall of CHS up with long two by fours and plant Morning Morn-ing Glory vines for landscaping; we can still allow our boys to trudge two blocks for physical edu cation programs; they can still wrestle in the same little hole in the wall; we can still attend school activities and swelter or be unable build them where' the need is. More power to you." I hope to see you at the meeting next Wednesday. By the way, the bonding program of Millard District began in 1948 with the building of a Delta High School Vo-Ag building. The entire bonding program to date results in the following figures: $776,000 for west Millard and this includes the west desert area and $681,000 for east Millard. Those figures don't exactly tell the whole truth, though. Remember Remem-ber we are the larger population area of the district. Take your Lttle pencil and paper in hand dear readers and go to work on the division di-vision of money spent per pupil (us:ng the approximate enrollment given above). Those figures were based on last year's enrollment. $776,000 divided by 1649 gives an interesting figure of money per pupil. Then with the same little pencil divide $681,000 by 1094 and you will get another interesting figure. When you ge! those two interest'ng little figures 90 to work on subtracting and that is the most interesting little figure of all. And whoever wanted to be dignified, dig-nified, anyway? ing were their son Grant "and wife and two little girls from Logan. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Black and girls, Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Black and children and Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Black went to Tooele Thursday and had thanksgiving dinner with Mr. and Mis.
