Were it financially practical, may children would develop better habits if multiplication and division were taught on graph paper in elementary schools from day on. In addition to learning the math, precision and alignment would be instilled simultaneously. Children might still write sloppy numbers, but at least they would be in the right places or errors would be easy to k CHRISTMAS Rather than the first test including only the tens, the first test made for older children should include every fact the child is already successful at, using the master test as a guide.

This count was 3,500 less than original estimates. Continuing the pattern of recent years, Granite District held on to first place with more students (65,864) than any other school district in the state, followed by Jordan (54,932), Davis (43,062), Alpine (31,104), and Salt Lake (24,303). Next in line 4 is Weber District with an enrollment of 22,470. For the first time since 1977, the number of kindergarten students took a downward turn, decreasing over 7 percent from last years figure of 36,429 to 33,645. The plunge is thought to be an effect of the law change which established a new kindergarten entrance date of Sept. 1, 1983, for the entire state. These are a few of the many facts contained in the annual fall enrollment report of Utah school districts released at the Nov. 18 meeting of the Utah State Board of Education. The report pre 83-8- .the 1984-8- 5 year.
