The Foundation report cites data compiled by the Governments Division of the U.S. Bureau of the Census which shows that total expenditures for public education In Utah were equal to $257.7 million during the 1965-0- 6 fiscal year. This Included $167.3 million for local schools (elementary and secondary), $80.6 million for and $9.8 higher education, million for other education.

Taking that one step further, If we happen to get late winter weather In 1968, It Is conceivable we could lose another year in this construction program."

It -- I' tali, tixlay - In a report of minutes from a recent board meeting of the Uintah School District, we noticed that the possibility Is being studied of transporting students from the west end of the county to Vernal for vocational classes being offered at Uintah high school. The report didn't mention when these proposed changes would take place. It It were to go into affect during the present school year, it might offer the students some subjects which they could not get at Union. However, If plans are Just being made now for next school year, It would appear that the move would be unnecessary, since the vocational center should be ready for operation next fall. It seems that parents and school personel alike should weigh the needs and desires of the students against any economic benefit that might accrue. The question that needs to le answered Is, this: "Is the motivating force behind the move based on the true needs of the students, or on some other less sound motive?" , cis Fowler.
