"Although Denver schools may have some advlOIJ)tages over Midvale schools in their methods of presenting specialized subjects, I feel that we are on a par with them when we consider the academic subjects, and we are ahead of them in music." This was the statement made by E. E. Greenwood, principal of the Midvale Junior high school, in commenting upon the results of his recent trip to Denver, in company with A. E. Peterson, principal at Sandy; Reed Beck, principal 'at Draper, and W. w. Malstrom, West Jordan principal, to make a study of the schools of that city. "Of course,' continued Mr. Greenwood, "Denver has an enormous fund upon which to draw for school activities. For instance, their average expenditure per pupil in the elementary grades is $105 per year as compared with $68 spent here. Denver spends $145 per pupil in junior high school and about $175 for a high school student, whereas, in this district, our expendituer in junior high schools is $90 and $115 in high school work. Spend Huge Sums "One junior high school, with a school population of 900 in Denver, has a building which cost $900,000 with $80,000 worth of equipment, and they spent $20,000 for landscaping tlie grounds. Yet our pupils are as well taught. "The Opportunity School in Denver was the most interesting school I ever saw. Here there are pupils, ranging in age from 16 to 70, whc were .unfitted in their earlier school life, or deprived of the opportunity to learn. They attend the Opportunity school from 7 :SO a. m. to 9:30 p. m., and learn practically everything there Is to teach them. Trades, methanical arts, domestic arts and science, music, business su'b)ects and beauty culture are among some of the courses. "Other pupils come for quick ad~ vice. For instance," he continued, "a clerk in a furniture store came in one llight and said his boss had told him to mark down the stock twelve and one-half per cent. He was taught percentage principles so that the next day he attended to the change in price. This school is operated by the city of Denver at an annual cost of $30,000. 10,000 Enrolled ''There was an enrollment during • \ J.C.PE 1'1 N EY 00 NORTH MAIN STREET, MIDVALE • E. E.

They were taught u. S. history, English and other subjects. "Philanthropic societies provide huge bowls of thick soup free to the students who attend school from immediately after their work until the close of the session ,and it is doing a great deal of good among the poorer classes. "In Denver they do not allow interscholastic athletic contests in the junior high schools, and I think we will eventually adopt that plan here. [t allows more stud!nts to enjoy the sports by having contests between several teams from one school. At one institution we visited there were twenty-eight separate baseball teams with their own leageus." Summer School Plans In outling the present plans for summer school activities, Mr. Greenwood said there would be no regular classes, but there would be supervised play on the grounds under the direction of P. M. Mickelsen, principal at the Butler school; that 1:fr. Christensen of Draper would devote a halfhour weekly to the teaching of instrumental music and that free classes in dancing would be held under the tutelage of Miss Mary Henderson of Midvale. In conclusion Mr. Greenwood stated that the Jordan district has the finest rural system of schools in the west and that, now the building program is about completed, the future policy of the district will be to provide better teaching and better school supervision. HANSEN OUSTED KINGSBURY HALl MOVIES TO SHOW CARLOS AS POSTMASTER IN MIDVALE FORMALLY OPENS HOW BEETS CROW Beginning with the preparation of the seed bed Superintendent C. . W. Middleton of the West Jordan factory of the Utah-Ihado Sugar company has been taking moving pictures of farm operations in growing sugar beets. The sugar company already has films showing seed bed preparation, drilling, crust breaking, mechanical blocl{ing, cultivating and thinning. As the crop progresses pictures will be taken of all the farm operations until the crop is harvested. These will be taken on various farms in the different districts. They will then be edited and will be used to show how sugar beets are successfully grown and will add much interest to farmers' meetings to be held in the future. In no other way can the importance of this industry be brought so forcibly to the people. This is one picture show no farmer will want to miss. FUNERAL HELD FOR ERNEST L.

WEST JORDAN SCOUTS GO ON HIKE TO MJLL CREEK Carlos Hansen, postmaster at Midvale for the past two years, has been dismissed by the postoffice department, according to a dispatch from Washington, D. C., for the admitted unlawful use of government funds. C. I. Goff, who was postmaster here f6r eight years under the administrations of Presidents McKinley and Taft, has been named acting postmaster to succeed Mr. Hansen. The information unearthed by the postal inspectors, it is said, will be laid before •the federal grand jury by the United States district attorney, and an indictment may follow. It is alleged that, during a period of sixteen months, Mr. Hansen misused $972. Mr. Hansen was appointed two years ago to succeed the late Joseph B. Wright, by President Coolidge. The selection of Mr. Goff to replace him, was made on the recommendation of Representative Don B. Colton.
