H is statem ent followed examination of R tentative budget, submitted by the district, calling .for an increase of $12.52 per pupil in average daily attendance, to cover op erating ex penses for the 194445 school year. The advan ce was requested because of increased living costs. "It appears that many of the past expenditures of the district are unwarranted," he declared "Why should it cost Jordan district more to educate a student than any other district of similar circumstances?" H e pointed out that Alpine school district, Which borders J ordan on the south, was able to send a child through school for the same length of t ime at $38.20 less expense. The difference was not spent for teachers' salaries, b u t for district administration, janjtor service, surplus and similar item s, he said. One of the important reasons for the relatively high co.sts in Jordan was the low teacher-pupil r a tio, he explained. "Our main concern is winning the war," Mr Harris said. " I n order to accomplish this, it is incumbent upon all public officials to squeeze the utm ost value from Expect Some Advance "While we may expect some furt her advances in living costs, this should not stimulate school districts in the preparation of their forthcoming budgets." He said that the local taxes per census ehild in the Jordan district last year were $88.31, a difference of 80 per cent above the state average of $49.18. Total operating expenses per pupil were $124.86, as contrasted with $86.66 in the neighboring Alpine district. On the other hand1 the valuation of each census child in Jordan district is $19,197, highest o_f any district in the state and nearly five times the state average of $4142. Mr & Mrs Elden Jepson and two small children of Salt Lake City spent Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr & Mrs Carl C Jenson.
