Sincerely yours, Mrs. Goldie Wilcken, News Reporter Uintah Basin Record and Roosevelt Standard CC. Floyd Lamb, Myton Chairman Duchesne County Commissioners The Year For Eduacation During the coming months there will be Educational Conference's in thousands of school districts across the nation, sponsored by National School Board Assns., National and State citizens committees, and by other educational groups. These citizens conferences on education which are daily swelling in numbers, are the means for finding out what the American people want to do with their schools. Authentic information reveals that only at local levels, with citizens providing their own answers, can the real solutions be found to the' problems of school finance, organization, curriculum, teachers, and public interest in education. An approval of school statistics, reveals unpleasant facts based on widely accepted standard's of the past 10 to 20 years. Schools now are in danger of short changing a whole generation of our children. In Duchesne County, recent surveys have' indicated that our schools are not nearly as good as we want them to be. Many inadequacies in our instructional program, organization and curriculum, are the cause. The solution of our problems does not lie solely in the hands of our professional, educators. It is the duty and responsibility of every citizen of Duchesne County, to gain an understanding of these problems and' to assist in recommending the' best solutions, and remedies. Our 1956 Rural Education Conference to be held at Alta-moSchool, March 22 and 23, is our opportunity to do this. This Conference is of such importance to the future of Education in Duchesne County, that every citizen, no matter what the sacrifice, should attend. nt What About Blue Bench Project?
