By Principal Don Edvalson Fielding Elementary School IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for all of our children to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists, etc; therefore the schools should be giving our children experiences in the vocational and technical fields. In doing this they can gain understanding and experiences in the fact that work is important and that there is as much dignity in it as there is in being in the so called professions. The ability to work and to give an honest days work for a days pay is extremely important. This is especially so since Utahns are known for their willingness to work. We find industries have been located to provide our children with those experiences which will transmit this cultural heritage. To accomplish this goal, we have used a number of World of Work projects the which include the dairyman, groceryman, and the banker to name a few. These are not studied in the traditional manner as most social study units. They receive more direct and meaningful experiences such as in the banking unit, an actual bank is set up in the room. The students choose a name for their bank, along with officers and a board of directors. The bank functions completely with its own money giving the students experiences in receiving pay checks, opening savings and checking accounts, buying items on time, etc. In the event of a bank robbery they learn the process of the law as well. THE SAME TYPE OF experiences can be and are obtained with other World of Work units. It is our hope that by the time the students complete the sixth grade they will have had educational experiences in a variety of career fields and will have gained some idea of who they are and what some of their responsibilities to society are. An Educolumn The role of the student By Ray M. Hall Northern Utah UniServ We have discussed at some length now the many elements of education which contribute to the success (or lack of it) which attends the educating of our young people. We have called to accountability everyone from the PTA to the superintendent to the custodial staff, and it is perhaps time to make mention of at least one more variable the student. There is at present a case in the courts of California in which the parents of an youth are suing the district and the state for failing to teach him to read. From this vantage point, it is difficult to fix the responsibility for this tragic failure. I fear that it will be equally difficult to those in the court. Pinpointing responsibility will be an impossible task. INDEED WE DO need adequate facilities and competent teachers who care. Of course it is possible to hamper a childs learning by indifference or sarcasm or ridicule or neglect. It is likewise possible for a student to sit in the middle of an ideal learning climate and refuse to learn. There are students who consistently arrive in classes without books, pencils, paper, or any intention of learning Its boring," has become a anything. universal excuse for doing nothing. As you know, it requires both hydrogen and oxygen in the right proportion to produce water. It makes no difference how vast the quantities of pure oxygen may be nor how ideal the conditions for inducing the combination, there will be no water without hydrogen. SO IT IS IN A CLASSROOM. The reaction known as learning is dependent upon more than one element. The students role is an understandably important one. There are those who say, Here I am. I defy you teach me anything, and those whose attitude implies, I am eager to learn; help me, and the whole gamut between those two extremes. There are those who combine high intelligence and great effort, those who compensate for less native ability by dedication and hard work, those who waste unusual aptitude by lack of serious application, and those whose capacity for learning is definitely limited. ARE STUDENTS THERE who the educational process. Teacher, get results. Motivate. Stimulate. Inspire. Realistically, you still cant make water if you have extra oxygen but no hydrogen. There has been no method devised of imparting knowledge to the unwilling recipient. Learning is and will always remain a function of the learner. He, too, must participate actively in the process. well-know- n inmerica. Join the Payroll Savings Plan. ym u m f Brigham City Museum-Galler- y 24 North Third West M M 1. 00 a m to 700 p m.

Every year millions of people in the United States join together under the banner of the Red Cross to help themselves and their neighbors -and people in unfortunate circumstances in other parts of the world. Red Cross is more than its blood drives - more than its help for thousands of victims in disasters and assistance to servicemen and veterans and their families. It stresses safety and health; providing home nursing, first aid, water safety, and other training vital in daily living. Volunteers also assist in a wide variety of community programs that benefit people of all ages. In this same spirit of neighbor helping neighbor, we urge members of the LDS church to give their generous support to this worthwhile organization. will be conducting WITH THIS THOUGHT in mind we need Much has been written and said about making a childs school experiences more meaningful. One of the ways we have found to help accomplish this has been our World of Work program. This program is now in its third year at our school and has been invaluable in helping to better meet the childs needs. We find that with our current economic situation and energy crisis, there exists a greater need for occupational education. Even greater is the need for all of us to understand just what other careers are available besides those in the professional fields. are sure many people will agree, the flag is beautiful a representation of our fine country, be displayed as a carnival banner not but should it is a holiday as Brigham City because or simply has a flag displayed in front of many buildings, at all schools on every day of the week. Almost every employee of the electric department has, at one time or another, been in the service of our country, where they have already received proper training in handling the flag, and we doubt that the procedure has changed in the last few years. Those concerned about the hauling of the flags from the city shops to Main street how else can you handle 72 flags? The flags have not received their dirtiness from hauling them on a truck, but from flying them in all types of weather and from storage. As for the condition of the flags, they are seven years old and have been ordered to fly on every holiday, regardless of weather conditions. Is this respect to the flag? We ask for the opinion of the public. As for the time the flags were displayed, the Chamber indicated they were put up at midmorning and this is not true. They were all put up by 8:15 a.m. What is an electrical department for? To clean out posts along the streets? Many of you may remember last spring when the storm hit and most of Brigham City was without complete power for the biggest part of a week. The electric department worked round the clock for 61 hours straight, to get the people back in power. What if this happened on a holiday? Should all work stop to put up the 72 flags? True, there were outside crews brought in to help, and they were the ones who received the credit and recognition. It is time our own departments were respected instead of degraded for a job well done. We dont ask for thanks for doing our work we are being paid for doing it but we do ask for a little respect. We Couldn't get my hands on any went out in the potting soil so some and got good old down garden 1372 Do ask for respect Editor : Recently an article was printed in the newspaper degrading the respect and efficiency of the Brigham City Electrical department in regard to the American flag. The article stated that on Lincolns birthday there were only eight flags displayed on Main street, which is an untruth. There were 19 flying on that day and 26 on Washingtons birthday. The difference in the number is due to the fact that the water department had cleaned out some 23.
