Show PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES The U. S. battleship "Utah will be launched soon. It will be the largest and fastest battleship belonging to the U. S. Navy. It has been the custom with other states that when a battleship has been named in their honor to provide pro-vide it with a Silver Service. The funds have been raised in various ways and the Silver Service has cost all the way from five thousand to twenty-five thousand thous-and dollars. The Silver Service that Utah is to give will cost ten thousand dollars. The matter of raising funds was put upon a committee appointed by the governor. They thought that the school children of the state could raise the amount, and sent out letters to all the schools. Amounts of five cents to to twent-five dollars will be gratefully received. Each one will receive a handsome embrossed certificate, so worded word-ed that the amount contributed will not appear, thus eliminating all rivalry and competition. This certificate will be signed by the Governor and members of the committee. We, as teachers, would like the parents par-ents to help us out so that we can send the amount donated by the Castledale district school not later than next Wednesday. |
