Show Prin. Mired Tells Of Conference For School Heads Principal D. A. Allred of the Hinckley high school spent Friday and Saturday in Salt Lake City where he attended the state superintendents super-intendents and principals conference confer-ence held at the State Capitol, March 24, 25 and 26. At the first session held on Friday Fri-day morning the main topic for discussion was the playing of an "All-Star" basketball game. The majority of the members present felt that this type of game is out of order and that the schools would not sponsor this activity. The keynote of the second session ses-sion was "Life Adjustment Education Educa-tion for Secondary School Youth. Following this discussion, the principals met in five different groups, with each one going to the discussion he preferred. i The 20 federal tax which is paid by all high schools on any of their gate receipts at student activities was discussed by the group and an attempt is being made as a result of the discussion to do away with this law. A resolution reso-lution will be formed by representative represen-tative members and sent to the federal government in an attempt to accomplish this. The poor grade of lyceum numbers which are brought to the schools by the lyceum bureaus was discussed. The group favored either doing away with lyceum numbers entirely or insist upon a better quality of performance. Still another problem to receive consideration was the general education ed-ucation development tests. These tests now operate to enable students stu-dents who have not graduated from high school to enter college if they are able to pass this test. There were a few technicalities to be ironed out concerning the method meth-od or administration. Saturday a general business meeting was held from 10 to 12 and reports were given by the various var-ious committees and officers for the ensuing year elected. Avard Rigby, of Vernal, a former form-er resident of Hinckley, was elected elect-ed president of the secondary principals association for next year. |
