Show STAKE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS The Board of Education of the Emery Stake Academy met March 21st at Castledale. All members were present but J. Rex Miller, whose business detained de-tained him. The following special business of the school was attended to: The resignations of J. W. Johnson and Rulon Y. Robison were accepted and will take effect after May 27th. v Mr. Johnson has been connected with the institution for the past two years and has handled the work especially well. His equal as a teacher and an artist is seldom found and the school appreciates the work he has accomplished. accomplish-ed. He was always a friend to the students and none hesitated to call on him when discouraged or in trouble. Mr. Johnson has taken over the Emery County Progress and will be the quill pusher for Emery county. He was born in the county and loves it and the people can depend upon getting value received from his labor. Rulon Y. Robison has been connected with the institution but one year, but in that time he has proven beyond a doubt that the institution never knew a better trained voice than his. His power pow-er as a teacher in his special line is very strong and we can predict great success for him wherever he goes. The reason for his resignation is the lack of sufficient suffi-cient remuneratian. He has been offered offer-ed a larger salary in another of the church schools and will therefore leave U3. His resignation will take effect at the same time as Mr. Johnson's. Mr. Robison 's place will be filled by W. King Driggs, a student of the B. Y. University and a teacher of experience. He is not only a musician but an artist and he will be a strong factor for the institution. ,No other changes will be made in the present faculty, excepting that another teacher will probably be added to put in the new woodwork department. The board wilt exert every energy to instal the machinery requisite for the work this fall. The work of the school t e past year is far superior to anything ever accomplished accom-plished in the academy, but the financial finan-cial condition is very .embarrassing indeed. in-deed. When the new building was undertaken un-dertaken the people of the stake pledged themselves to support the actions of the board, but they have not lived up to their agreement. It has at last been necessary for the board to sign immense notes to meet obligations and a law suit seems inevitable. Can the good piiipleof the county see these men shoulder such a burdan alone? They are not sorry for the aid they have given but they think the towns that haven't done their share ought to do so. |
