Legislators have talked about doing this in at least the past two sessions but never tied down the funds to accomplish it. The odds seem brighter this year. Every family which has been touched for an assortment of fees plus textbooks and supplies each year when sending a student (or more than one) off to high school vividly realizes the expense. waste receptacles for Brigham Citys art week materialize, it will be a colorful way to exhibit local community pride. Chairman Thelma Somerville got the green light for these and other activities at last Thursdays city council meeting. The art week observance is set with street painting, April bazaar, banners, an outdoor concert 21-2- 6 and street painting also contemplated. It should be an exciting week with an $1,800 grant from the Utah State Division of Fine Arts and National Endowment for the Arts helping to pay the bill.

It was a graphic demonstration of the theme, "Since we re neighbors, let's be friends".

As another week of high school basketball comes to an end, the big rivalry between Box Elder and Bear River is over, which Bear River just pulled off with a close victory. As one of the members of the Bear River team, Id like to say how well Box Elder played, and, especially the sportsmanship they showed during the game. In past years as the rivalry of Bear River and Box Elder mounted, it seemed almost traditional to see a fight after a game, but this year it changed for the better with a dance Furthermore, it incorporates the Building working after. The Box Elder studentbody should be commended by everyone for inviting Bear River to stay to the dance, and help to unite the two schools. As one who was there at the dance, Id like to say it might have been a bit crowded, but that didnt matter because it was worth it. To me the dance was a lot more fun than any fight I could have been in, and Im sure that goes for a lot of people. As the years go by, I hope we keep ths tradition we started this year, which is, since were neighbors, lets be friends, relationship in education Bear River Junior High As the population of the world increases it becomes apparent that the need for mankind to learn to work together is an absolute must and especially in the field of education. It is most important that a teacher build a working relationship with his or her pupils, that a principal build a working relationship with his faculty and that the build a working superintendent relationship with his professional staff. The philosophy, which has taken its toll in education that no teacher will do his best if he is allowed to become at all comfortable in his work, has brought forth at best a mediocre education system, and at worst, a chaotic condition. , IN THE CLASSROOM the teacher must realize that his or her first responsibility is to build an environment whereby teacher and pupil can respect each others rights as as human beings and build much as possible in each student. This is not accomplished without effort and a great deal of planning. The easy teacher does not build this kind of environment nor does the arrogant, sarcastic teacher. The teacher who can more or less forget himself and plan well his lessons and can see in each student a bit of the divine, build a respect for each individual and receive a self-estee- m Cost of crime up cost of ordinary crimes against business will rise to an estimated $20 billion in 1974 (up from $18.3 billion in 1974), or $89 for each man, woman and child in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Sponsors of House Bill 130, extending the concept of free public education from grades to include high school as well, it say would cost between $1.5 and $2 million. Supporters also say the necessary revenue could be obtained by raising the tax on cigarettes by two cents per pack. We dont necessarily endorse this funding approach.

LIFES exIMPORTANT periences stem from the relationships one establishes with people. The need for warm, human relations persist throughout MOST life. As adolescence approaches and the child begins his life in the junior high school, he has increasing need for recognition from his teachers, for success as a human being, and for being wanted in the peer group. When an educator realizes the need for this human understanding, he should make every effort to learn it and to apply it in his work. While human understanding is important it must be realized that it is not the end or goal sought for, but a means by which the goal of learning is arrived at. While we all understand that certain facts are a must in teaching, it should be recognized that the method by which the doors of learning are opened is most important. Too often we want to formulate specific policies and procedures and these in have a L ndency to bring quick judgment and quick action which, in turn, brir .,s onfrontation with students and a little time would icauiicxs where allow a much better working relationship. David Falk Tremontcn Became almost priceless Editor: I wish to express my sincere thanks for sending me a piece of Brigham City across the sea. I liked the News and Journal at home, but here its become almost priceless. We ve had five or six Elders from Brigham City in the Austrian-Vienn- a mission, and I guess about half the mission has become companions with a Brigham City elder and therefore an avid reader of the Journal. Ill be home soon so you may stop sending it. Thanks, Elder Joseph J. Huggins th THEREFORE, IT SEEMS unwise to write too much detail into what should be general guidelines for adminstration. This should leave the person working directly with the student or other personnel the opportunity to use his or her professional training and personal attributes to help teach and train students, otherwise, educators become machines or police, certainly not educators. Educators should strive to maintain freedom to teach by accepting the responsibility of their profession, not to continually ask for more specific rules and regulations. An instructor should be much more effective if permitted to use his or n her trained abilities and talents in working with students.
