Show THE LEHI FREE PRESS, LEHI, UTAH THTRSDAY. JULY S, 1958 Explorer Scouts Make Trip Alpine District Conducts Evaluation Criteria For Junior High Schools A workshop is being conducted in connection with the develop- -' ment of the Junior High School Evaluative- - Criteria. The "Criteria" are being developed under the joint sponsorship of the Utah State Secondary School Principals' Association and the Utah State Department of Public Instruction. Lincoln Junior High School was one of the schools which participated in a pilot study during the past year. Elliot C. Howe, supervisor of junior high schools, Quinn A. Hatch, principal, Lincoln Junior High School; Stanley Leavitt, chairman of the junior high school Junior High School, and Leroy Lincoln evaluative committee, Loveridge, member of the central committee of the Lincoln Junior High School evaluative study, have been attending a workshop held at the Edith Bowen Laboratory School at the Utah State University in Logan. The purpose of the workshop is to refine and improve the criteria. The criteria were developed wtih the object in mind of determining what a modern junior high school should be. Dr. I. I. Nelson, consultant to the workshop from the University of Texas, pointed out 1. The junior high school is the "Charter of the Junior High." a program of education which should be derived from the nature and needs of those whom it serves. 2. The outstanding characteristic of junior high school students age 12 to 15 are: (a) They have many wide divergencies. (b) They are shifting from one life orientation to another, e.g., shifting from childhood to adolescence. 3. The nature and needs of the 12 to 15 year old are suf- ficiently unique to require a different program of education. 4. The junior high school program is sufficiently unique to demand special equipment and teachers who are specially trained to teach students of this age. 5. Many of the methods used in junior high schools need to be evaluated in terms of modern living and needs. 6. The junior high school is a program of education; this means that it is more than a collection of grades, more than a group of teachers and a principal and more than a school building. Dr. Nelson added that the junior high school can be justified on the ninth grade level more than for any other grade level because the junior high school allows its ninth grade students to exercise leadership which they can not do time-honor- ed when they enter high school as ninth graders. Having ninth grade students in the junior high postpones the onset of sophistication which comes when ninth graders Down Colorado are placed with senior high students. Sidney L. Wyatt, chairman of the study, and Mr. Lerue Wingett, state director of secondary education, feel that the criteria will make a major contribution to junior high school education in the state of Utah. Teachers and principals from the entire state have participated in the development of the criteria and are attending the workshop. Dr. J. Lloyd Trump of the University of Illinois and coordinator for the Ford Foundation Fund, visited the workshop on June 16 through June 18. The Ford Foun dation has assisted with the financial aspects of the study. Dr. Terrance E. Hatch, associate professor of educataion, Utah coordinator between the State State University, has served as University and the workshop.

Our primary purpose in the move is to broaden our service area and provide insurance to groups not previously served." Cooperative Life of America was formed 20 years ago by Francis W. Kirkham, manager with a fund of $500. Company assets today stand at over $1,250,000, with unassigned surplus funds in excess of double the legal requirements. Some 17,500 families in Utah are represented in the over $30,000,000 life insurance in force. As an affiliate of the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Company has maintained a con tinuing educational program on insurance needs for members, with special emphasis on policies suited to the needs of farm famsec- ten-ma- n. ? The Lehi Free Press pass n, Blaine and Lynn Stewart, sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Stewart, joined 37 other Explorer Scouts in an interesting trip down the Colorado River by rubber raft. The group comprised of Explorer Scouts from all over Utah were led by State Scout Leader John Cross. The journey on foot and by raft, started at Hite, Utah The Scouts covered seven miles the first day. They camped and ate eggs, milk, dehydrated food-dri- ed soups, etc. during the nine day sojourn, during which they covered nearly 130 miles down river. Among the highlights of their trip were first hand views of Moki huts, some Indian paintings, and Indian rock images, in which the red men had chipped a form of crude sculpture. The group went through Bull Frog, the larn gest rapids on the river on rafts. They also hiked to Hole In the Rock where the pio- neers crossed the river to settle San Juan, Utah. The scouts also saw Rainbow Bridge, one of the state's colorful natural bridges. They enjoyed swimming also. On the way they met a California group of Explorer Scouts and joined with them in a group party. The trip ended at Page, Arizona. This was the second of a series of three such trips to be made this summer. The average age of the boys participating in these nature journeys is fourteen years.
