Haws School Superintendent Many may have wondered why Box Elder County School district has adopted the practice of employing instructional aids in many of its schools. The answer might be that this practice has resulted from an attempt to find a better solution to meet the needs of children when the enrollment exceeds the normal class load for one teacher, particularly in the elementary schools. Other alternatives, however, are also currently being used in the district to solve the same problem, namely: busing students between schools, mixing ana grade levels in one classroom, team teaching. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to always adjust attendance boundary lines to maintain loads of 25-3pupils per class and to have available the exact number of class rooms needed in every elementary school building. The general rule has been to employ instructional aids when student in kindergarten, first, enrollments second and third grades exceed 32, and the fourth, fifth and sixth grades exceed 35. This practice allots the regular teachers to devote the greater portion of their time in doing that for which they were professionally trained to do, that is teach. An instructional aide is at all times an assistant and responsible to an assigned member of the professional staff. The primary responsibility of the professional teacher is to the children, whereas, the primary responsibility of the aide is to the professional educator. The general rule for such division of responsibility is that the teacher diagnoses the needs of children and prescribes the course of action to be taken and the aide follows up with the drill and other necessary matters which she is qualified to do. This particular relationship may be compared to the medical doctors who diagnose and prescribe and the nurses who follow through with the patients as the doctors so direct. However, in the classroom situation both the teacher and the aide are present with each giving their full atten 0 - meeting. nt You finally decided to come home, huh? How come you ence of opinoin.

Hence there was each she couldnt under- stand is how a grown man with tion to the educational needs of child- ren. One may also question why instructional aides are not employed to assist teachers with lesser student loads and the answer would be that the state uniform school funds are distributed to school districts on a classroom enrollment of 27 in which necessitates approximately 30 students being enrolled in average daily membership. When class enrollments reach the must be point where consideration the assist the to teacher, regular given school principal and the teacher recommend to the superintendent what they feel to be the best solution. Oft times the choice is to request the employment of an instructional aide. Such recommendations are based upon such criteria as the amount of available space within the school, the permanency of students enrolled, and the attitude of the teacher involved. Instructional aides are placed under a yearly contract at a daily pay rate of $15 with the understanding that they or the school district may cancel this contract upon giving ten days notice. The cancellation clause is generally enacted when the enrollment decreases to a normal size classroom. Such aides are selected from applications received in the district office, but before contracts are issued each applicant is carefully screened by the school principal and the teacher involved. Those individuals who appear to have the best qualifications are em- loved, which frequently has included ? ully certificated teachers. At the present, the district employs a total of 11 instructional aids in eight elementary schools. However, as enrollment changes the number of instructional aides may also change. The use of instructional aides is not new in schools throughout the state and nation, however, their role in a particular organizational pattern may average-daily-attendan- differ from district-to-distn- - It is also, I believe, a Christian teaching, accepted and taught by all faiths with which I am familiar, that real happiness comes from thinking and acting for another, that of service, not from selfish demands. We have rules of etiquette, good manners. Who wants to eat with the pig, who slurps his soup, wolfs his food, selfishly takes more than his share? Who enjoys being with the boor? I believe a very important part of education is that of learning the rules of living in an organized and orderly situation, accepting that which is good for the group. One only needs to visit our high school to know that long hair and short dresses are not being sent home. If any are, it is because the girl forgot her skirt, at least in appearance, or the long hair was really effeminate, or the extremes of the extremes. An administrator said it isnt so much the long hair or the short dress, but the rebelious attitude of the student when faced with the problem that results in discipline. These standards have been accepted and endorsed by the studentbody as being the best for all. I too believe that many "good boys would be not been taught differently, and if they had not the drug addict, the drunkard, the thief if they had wanted more from life. Lets not mistake a persons resentment of law and order and good taste for one who would improve standards or improve our way of life. Sometimes I think we mistake our rights with our privileges. Von R. Curtis, Harper Ward Voters Will Choose Editor: ' It would be most regrettable for any group of lawyers to conduct and publish a "preference poll which would obviously be aimed at retention of a present judge when the law says he must stand for reelction. Regardless of his ability, any good judge would be appalled at such a move. He could not disregard such a list of supporters no matter what his "integrity. Each individual attorney would be practicing before him and he would know which had supported him and which had refused to "get on the preference list. No lawyer has the moral right to put a good judge in such a position. If a "supporter fairly and justly won his case the judge might be accused of favoring said lawyer. What about a newly elected judge who has displaced an incumbent? Before him will practice those who publicly expressed a preference for his in opponent. What judge would want to be put such a vulnerable position? What reputable lawyer would wish to put a judge in such a position? Voters will watch with interest the Cache County and Box Elder County Bar Associations "preference poll relating to Judge Christofferson of Box Elder, and his opponent, Robert W. Daines. In the end the voters, not the Bar Association should decide. No judge is entitled, and I quote, "to the fullest measure of support when standing for reelection regardless of his "integrity if there is a better man available for the office. Sincerely, J.

The mill was In operation until 1887 when it became idle for a time. James Baron became the proprietor of the mill in the 1890's and the operation did custom weaving of linseys, yarn, flannel, etc. After operating a woolen mill in Hyrum, Thomas Baron bought the local business from the stockholders in 1916 and it has remained in the Baron family since that time. His son, Rulon, purchased shares from the brothers and sisters of the family in 1936 and owned the business until his death in December, 1959. The business then started operating under the present owners. Besides the three partners there are 21 employees of the mills located at 56 North Fifth East.
