Show FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1968 THE EPHRAIM ENTERPRISE. EPHRAIM, UTAH Editorial Shuffling Students Within the past two weeks, the school consolidation issue has been brought into focus. It has definitely caught the citizenry of South Sanpete way off guard. This is very understandable. On November 16, 1967, Mr. Jack Burr, superintendent of schools, submitted to this paper an article which said: Rumors have been spread throughout the district that the Board had made consolidation moves. These rumors are absolutely false and the only thing being undertaken was a study of all phases of the school set-u- p in South Sanpete and anything that could be done to improve it. This did not include any consolidation outline or any possibility of consolidation at this time. However, if the Board concludes that consolidation would improve the educational program, they will place the issue before the public.' Many of these taxpayers have approached us in an effort to gain added insight into what has been proposed by the superintendent. We have had to openly admit to these inquiries that we were about as confused on what to do as they were. Consolidation is a word that carries a great impact on those who are effected. The question looms: Is the fulfillment of the consolidation plans going to be a benefit or detriment to our children? This is and should be the only real question. After listening to the presentation at the public meeting Tuesday in Ephraim, we can certainly see what advantages can be achieved through the combining of schools. But to the disappointment of all, very little was said about possible disadvantages which will crop up if the changes are made. And there could be many. Another thing that the presentation lacked was alternate proposals which might be studied. Although this meeting was called to feel the public pulse, a small segment of the questions were really answered. One of the greatest oversights on the part of the superintendent was the failure to show a concrete plan of the proposed expanded curriculum with the names of an assigned teacher with a major or minor in that field. In other areas where consolidation has been instigated, we quite often find not only the same subjects are being taught but also by the same teachers who have been deemed by the school standards as unqualified. Why not make a thorough study of this before consolidation? It will have so why not before? to be done anyway - Serious A Just how much trouble is going to result from the added miles of transportation? Proposed bus schedules have been arranged. Had they been presented at the meeting, many qustions would have been answered. If we are truly going to consolidate our schools to the best advantage of those engaged in the learning process, should we rush into scattering schools all over the county? Are we being fair when we haul the Manti youngsters to Ephraim who are having their first educational experiences? How much time will be chopped from a junior high school students day in travel from Ephraim to Gunnison? Possibly 2 hours? What will have to be neglected to meet this time schedule music practice, church activity, study time, home responsibilities? A myriad of questions surround the consolidation of South Sanpete schools. Time at the meeting seemingly didnt permit a very thorough look into the details of such a program. Although an urgency to submit a consolidation proposal to the state school board to obtain funds was expressed by Supt. Burr, it is our understanding that these funds will definitely not be in jeopardy for the next two or three years. Remember, once the decision is made, it is final. On anything as significant as this proposal which looms in our educational horizon, we feel that a hasty, hurried approval by the public and the board would be a mistake. Is there any harm in taking a second and third look from two or three more viewpoints? More people thinking and acting constructively can only make a stronger program. With so many communities involved, close ties could be made by working and acting together for their childrens mutual betterment. To hastily act now without unity, even within the school board, would only sever all opportunity for future unified action which possibly could be consummated through a deliberate effort and expanded study. Perhaps, when the facts are retabulated, the consolidation program will be backed unitedly. On the other hand, an alternative could be passed which hasnt yet even been conceived. Either way, if it is done with unity and full knowledge, we will know we have given it our greatest thought and effort. Then for the first time in many years all communities will support and work together for success in the school program. TEMPLARS NEED LOCAL SUPPORT SNOWMATMEN For the Manti High School Templars, the basketball season is not over, its just beginning. "As the Temps go into the region tournament they find themselves faced with the toughest challenge of the year.

Our local school board, as well In as our other elected representa- tives, has an obligation to be responsive to the WILL OF THE PEOPLE which does not end with election to office but rather commences. The will of the people in regards to the proposed consolidation of our school district may properly be determined only after there has been substantial time given for serious study on the part of the public. Surely a decision of such magnitude must not be rushed! If the proposed plan is sound it will stand thorough public scrutiny. CONCERNED PARENT Overeating reduces the life span.

A letter and a leaflet were sent home to the parents explaining the program; the rewards obtained through good dental health and the importance of cooperation between parents and school in this field. It was pointed out in the letter that clean, healthy, sparkling teeth can last a lifetime, contributing to a pleasing appearance and a happy disposition and that with help and encouragement from the parents, a child may be well on the way to such an achievement. year, emphasis Dr. Niel Larson is shown presenting the toothbrush kit to bis son, Mark Larson, who Is a student in Mrs. Dorothy Stoddards room.
