The real wonder is that so many teachers are as tenaciously devoted as they are to To be sure, some criticism is justified. Teachers themselves will be among the first to admit this. To be sure, some of this criticism is a healthy indication that ' education is in a state of ferment, working vigorously to meet its problems and to fill both national and individual needs. their-cattin- -- can be done to lessen problem if parents have beforein the exercised proper-discipli- ne gi three-datrip through last month, I was interested, amused and annoyed to persona I met refer hear a to the United States as an imperial half-doze- home. . - " . - Po too many students show little In- terest in getting-a- n education? This atti- tude may be overcome if parenls show that theythemselves are Interested in broadening their own mental ' horizons. Is there a severe shortage of one of our nations most precious resources namely teachers? This, too, rijay be overcome, at least partially, in the hom by those who value education highly. iTCaTl boTls down f o tfie fact Ilia flfour schools are tobe as effective as possible, then parents and teachers must be full in the education process. - Y EVEN SO, how much of the everyday criticism of education that one hears -represents informed thinking? And how much of it represents the type that strikes out in the dark at- - wha.t seems like' the nearest - and-- most- - convenient- scapegoat ? These questions, paradoxically, probably can be answered by asking still more questions: How many parents have-visite-d their childrens schools during school hours to see for themselyes what goes on ? How many parents attend PTA meetings regularly? How many partici- pate actively in such meetings? The answer to all of these questions - SO BEFORE CRITICIZING teachers such as those now thronging to the Utah Education Association convention, let's make sure that we as parents are doing a full share of our own home work. Air Pollution Still With Us FOR YEARS' NOW fdrward-looktn- g peo-pl- of the state ha ve been crying for. a complete study of Utah's' air pollution problem. There have been efforts and failures, starts and disappointments. Very little, however, has been accomplished. The lapse of time has only made the problem more intense A full study with appropriate legislation is long, long over- -- -- due. ol National studies show that at least 10,000 American cities have air pollution By 1975, it problems, largely man-madof ail our nation's is 'estimated, two-thircitizens will be living ii concentrated areas where more than double the present contaminants will be present, in the air. Utah will be no exception. Additional problems, are coming into being almost every day with now industries, more autos, and tighter. concentra- tion of people. The problem can only become more complex. We all pf us are paying the pollu- tion bill. In1949, for example, it was esti- mated that air pollution cost each person ih the United States $10 per capita. A 1959 national study set the cost at $7 5 billion annually, borne directly by indus-Tr- y ;in" control; measUresr trr additional In addition to discomfort and serious illness, hundreds of deaths have been caused fhe -- "luhp7 esophagus, "and stomach.- by pollution. e. was giving up the Dulles idea that if a 'country wasn't ready to join an al-- f liance. the " U.S. would treat it as Mr. Drummond beyond the pale.
