Wouldn't it be glorious to be able to report that the board of education and the teaching staff of the district were in perfect harmony on salary schedules, and that we in this district had a salary schedule comparable to any other district in the state. We're sorry to see fine families move from our community, to use the experience gained in teaching here to the betterment of children elsewhere; we dislike to see our friends leave our community and leave a vacant house, a vacant place in friendship circles, and a vacant class room. True, other folks have, in years past, come in to take their place, and new friendships have been made, and class rooms have been filled, and the school has gone on . . . but the time may come, or perhaps has come, when qualified, certified teachers are not available to fill in the vacancies. And when salary is a major consideration, what tools has the superintendent to work with when seeking teachers in competition ue with other superintendents? It behooves each of us to think seriously of the school situation efto study out the far reaching fect of loss of experienced, qualified teachers, and the financial loss of families of several members moving from our community, and of the potential slackening of scholarship averages by a teaching staff which may, or may not, be adequately prepared through a lack of experience, as compared with an experienced teaching staff should be. True, there are some uncertified teachers which are outstanding teachers, natural born with a knack that others, despite years of schooling and experience, may never attain, just as there are some who are better farmers than others, better brick layers than others, better public speakers than others, and so on, BUT over the years the state law has called for certification, qualified through a proper schooling, and this should be a minimum qualification or the law should be removed from the statutes. What the answer may be, we cannot say, but we do need a teaching staff next year and the next and the next, and so on. We hope that an intelligent answer to the problem can be reached without further focusing of the spotlight of adverse publicity upon our area. We feel that we need clear thinking, . open minds and a conference table to work out the best solution. As always, this column is open We must for your comments. have your comments, your discussions, your ideas by Tuesday afternoon. -- reg- When you visit the cemeteries Monday, take a look around and you'll find that Murren and his staff have done a mighty fine job in taking care of these cemeteries.

Of Forest Fire Danger Sign crews will begin a 3000 mile jaunt over Utah Highways on June 1 to paint some 80 "Keep Utah Green" fire prevention signs in selected locations throughout the state, it was announced today. Painting fire prevention signs on the highways of Utah, an important portion of the Governor's Keep Utah Green Committee's work, will be carried out this year to keep fire prvention in the public's eye. "Some of the most effective signs made are those placed directly on the road surface" said E. J. Fjeldsted, chairman of the Keep Utah Green committee. He indicated that the State Road Commission has given approval to the project and has cooperated in selecting the most effective locations for the signs. Even though the fire weather has made conditions serious in some sections of the state already, almost every area will pose serious wildland fire problems within a short time until general fall precipitation occurs. Unless there is some kind of a break in the weather pattern, Utah faces one of its most severe fire seasons and every agency is marshalling its entire force to keep fire loss on the vital forests and mountain watersheds to a minimum. - The Nephi baseball crew will tangle with Spanish Fork on the Nephi diamond this Sunday afternoon, at 3:00 p. m. in what promises to be a hard fought affair.

The Board of Edu cation has concluded that the in formation contained therein is of general public interest and has reto pubquested The Times-New- s lish the same. Mrs. Ervin J. Bingham, President, Jaycee Janes Nephi, Utah. Dear Mrs. Bingham: Upon receiving your invitation to present a few facts concerning the school problem it has been deemed advisable to do so in the form of a letter. As your representatives with the responsibility of conducting an educational program adequate for our children and yet within the ability of the people to pay, it is essential that we carefully consider the limits to which taxes may be increased without destroying those who must pay these taxes. As an example of what is meant, from the school auditor's report, in 1950 the mill levy was 15.-- 0 mills yielding $90,818.00 collected locally. In 1953 the tax levy was 20.08 mills yielding ' $.132,000.00 collected locally. The school program as presently visualized will require an increase of approximately 3.60 mills bringing to 23.68 mills the anticipated levy or an increase of about 56.8 per cent within a period of five years. During that time the teachers starting salary has increased $550.00 per year and the maximum salary $35(5.00 per year. Perhaps you might bo interested in knowing the actual salary and other benefits our teachers are receiving. First, the teachers are obligated, under their contract, to teach school 37 weeks. At the maximum salary of $3950.00 this is equal to $107.00 per week or 21.00 per day. In addition, to this the School District is obligated by law to contribute 5Vi (to apply on a maximum of $3600.00) or $200.00 per year to teachers pension plans. This contribution is equal to $1.00 per day or $5.00 per week for 37 weeks. The net result is $22.00 per day which is required to support the present maximum salary schedule payment. Now let us take the other extreme, the starting teacher. Their salary is $2950.00 for 37 weeks or $79.70 per week or about $15.91 of per day.
