Foote Windsor Avra Smith Myrl Wentz Woodruff Jenson EDUCATION IN THE ALPINE SCHOOL DISTRICT B.y Leo Hanson The students of the senior high schools of the Alpine School District are this week enjoying an experience that they have never hrd before. I refer to the mass participation in the vocal ensemble work at the coining sessions of the Utah Educational Association in Salt Lake City. An ensemble presentation in which all chorus students appear with no eliminations at all. This experience is a valuable educational one as one of the important phase of an education is the providing contacts. It is the reactions within each of adequate and worth-whil- e individual to the varying contacts that make up ones education. Some of the other objections which the Alpine District is are: training for individual and community health and There are about thirty six thous- Somehow you resent the favor he and deaths a tear in the U.

COFFEE COFFEE Airway Lb. 15c WHEN SHOULD CHILDREN BE TAUGHT TO READ? You will like the mild flavor of this Brazilian blend By B. M. Jolley. Many parents are asking the question why their children in the first grade are not being taught to read at the beginning of the school year. I shall attempt to give a brief explanation from an educational point of view. Though th subject of reading h h n considered a fundamental subject in the curriculum, many schools today are either excluding ' reading from the course of study in the first and second grades or re working as an incidental process limited to children whose mental r and general maturity warrants successful learning. They contend that the typical reading drills are not consistent with the normal growth, interest, and abilities of children of six. Vague, partial, and incomplete meanings and questionable attitudes are developed in the child if made to study them and it finally results in negative attitudes toward reading and echool in generaL This has been unquestionably proven to be the case in the' failure records of second and third grade students. The young student should first get acquainted with his social environment Let him feel at home with his school associates and teach- er. Confidence and a feeling of friendship and love are the first steps in the learr'- -' process. Let reading and all the formal subjects come incidentally wucr ae child is ready. Force and unpleasant experiences should never be necessary. Such methods only block the unfolding and development of the mind. Normal growth is Gods own way leading along the path of eternal progression. .
