This carnival which marked the formal opening· of the new Midvale Junior High, was planned for the purpose of rais:i,ng funds to be used in the purchasing o.f a motion picture machine and radio amplifier for the classrooms. The program consisted of a vaudeville entertainment, a four-rou,nd boxing contest, and a carnival dance, supplemented by many other interesting features. With the completion of this large modern junior high school building at Midvale, J ord.an school district is well equipped with a much needed addition to its school plant and is prepared to carry out a more defi- Red Cross Meets Heavy Demand .for Water Safety Duty nite and fixed system of a separate junior .and se]lior high school organization. fl'his addition ha.s long been needed at Midvale and is a great improvement in the educational system there. The buildi,ng can accommodate about four hundred students. There are fourteen class rooms, including a domestic science laboratory, and a manual training shop. A special feature of the construction is the combi,ned auditorium and gymna·· sium room, which is equipped with all modern fi~tures including dressing rooms showers, an adequately equipped stage, and a motion picture operator's room. A special lining placed in the room makes the combination possible. Dedicatory services will be held in the building soon after the holidays. Students of the Sandy Junior High expect to begin work in their new building early in the new year, as the work o.n the Sandy building is ,now nearing completion. The latter building is in general, similar to that of Midvale, in size and construction. It will contain , eight classrooms, a large study hall with a library, a combined auditor.. urn and gymnasium, a faculty room principal's office and book store. Other facilities, such as sewing and cooking laboratories, a boys' manual training shop and two hundred and forty two lockers are also bei,ng installed.

This number does not in· elude other thousands who were taught to swim. Training course.<J conducted by tbe Red Cross last summer brought out a uniformly high stand· ard of proficiency. In addition, more than 20 winter training courses were conducted the past year. Swimming "in.stitutes" at camps in Arizona, California, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Missouri, Oregon, ~ Wisconsin, ~ an d Washington, "splash weeks'' and swimming and ; life-ilaving campaigns under Red i Cross auspkes held in many States i ~ aro sed great interest. "The experience gained during ! the last few years indicates that the dangers involved in water sports can be eliminated through training and by the adoption of water safety methods," a r~cent Red Cross report stated. "When J our communities provide sufficient swimming pools, bathing beaches, and skating places, and furnish trained leaders under whose guidance both adulffi and children may enjoy themselves in safety, the number of preventable deaths through drowning will be greatly reduced." 'l'he Red Cross is endeavoring to 8Upply trained leaders in water safety so far as its facilities per· mit. To increase the effectiveness of this and other services, the Eleventh Annual Roll Call, from November 11 to 24, will urge an enrollment of 5,000,000. OUT NEXT WEEK Next week the Journal hopes to carry the :financial statement of the Jorda.n School District for the year ending July 1, 1927. Thls great educational or.ganization spends over half a million dollars of the tax payers mo~ey each year and it will be enlightening to see just what becomes ()f i·t. A move was made to publish the report i,n some distant town in order that the taxpayers might not see it, but this plan is hardly feasible.
