Show SAYS CONDITION OF LOCAL SCHOOL NOT ALARMING COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT TELLS OF ENDEAVORS OF OUR SCHOOL AUTHORITIES ADDRESSES LIONS The Milford schools are employing as full a corps of teachers as is compatible com-patible with the size of the enrollment, enroll-ment, said County Superintendent Carlisle, in speaking Morn the Lions club at the Wednesday luncheon. Mr. Carlisle said that he favored such public pub-lic attention as that given our schools by the Lions club. But he stated that our school conditions were in no way alarminir. It is true, he said, that we estimated our faculty and equipment on the basist of 00 students, whereas we now have an enrollment of 102. The Superintendent's talk took up the greater share of the noon period. Other speakers were Principal Andrews An-drews and J. Ml Hughes. Mr. Carlisle was asked by various members of the club as to school conditions con-ditions and he brought out some facts that were new to most of his listeners. listen-ers. In answer to the expressed be-l'cf be-l'cf that the school should have some power machinery, he said that through an agreement of state, county and railroad authorities, high school boys could get shop training at the local U. P. shops on Saturday afternoons. School credit will be given for this work, but the lack of interest would indicate to him that elementary courses in. handwork were sufficient for our boys' needs. Excerpts from Mr. Carlisle's remarks re-marks are as follows: " I have no personal feelings in the matter as to the building up of the schools of individual towns in this county. I want to build up a well-balanced well-balanced county school system. However, How-ever, with 18 students to a teacher locally, we more than meet the re- quirements of the best standards, which permit 25. Salt Lake ha? from 25 to 35. More dollars in salaries are spent in Milford per student than either in Minersville or Beaver. We have now, what I believe to be the strongest faculty in Milford that we have ever had. Neither American History nor Economics are offered this year because we alternate those courses annually, due to pur small enrollment. In theory, all members of this year's senior class have had the study of American history. Additional Ad-ditional expenditures upwards of $1,-500 $1,-500 have been made here this year in science equipment. We cannot get biger faculties here unless the students complete their high school courses here in Milford. Too many of them drop their studies to go to work for the railroad." ' This and other remarks were the jist of Carlisle's talk. He doubted the advisibility of bringing derrogatory remarks before the public through the meium of the local newspaper. Karl Carlton said that county school authorities auth-orities should render the same support to the newspaper as is expected of the latter. Other local people who spoke on education were Jos. .Mur-dock, .Mur-dock, S. C. Ruschmeier, L. G. Clay, and George Jefferson. The latter said that the schools only function at their best with the active interest of the parents, not through indifference. |
