It is a fact patent to peo-ple well informed .concerning educational development and ad-vancement that, on the one hand, the-'theor- of education develops on approximately the same level with the theory of other important business insti-tion- s while on the other hand, the practices of education deve-lop much more slowly than do the practices in other important business institutions. In other words, business can change its practices just as rapidly as its managers come to believe that changes are desirable. This is true because business is a pri-vate enteiprise, and its mana-gers can make whatever changes they think desirable, and when-ever they choose to make them. But with education the situa-tion is different. It is not suf-ficient for the administrators of education to recognize the importance of changes in the praltices of education It is not even sufficient for all the achers in a system, or in a state or in the U. S. to recogn-ize the desirability of changes in the practices of education. Before important changes can built upon the theory that edu-cation was a listening process. Picture with me if you will, the setting for the old type school. Each morning and noon as the children came to school they were lined up and marched to the class room after the fashion that soldiers are made to par-ade. If a child made a misstep he was marched up and down the steps until he kept in per feet rythm with the music. When he reached the c'ass room he was commanded about as follows Be seattid Eyes to the front Sit still and pay at-tention while I tell you about your Reading, writing, and Arithmetic and ask you ' some questions about the work I as signed yesterday. These schools have been styled "Listening Schools," because most of the pupil's time was spent in listen-ing to the teacher either make explanations or ask questions. This I repeat, was the philo-sophy upon which the school of the past was founded, and may I add that the practices founded upon this philosophy are main-tained in a large measure in the schools of America today. But what about' the theory and the philosophy of the school be successfully effected in tne practics of education, it is ne-cessary that not only the administrators of education, and the teachers in the schools but in addition, at least the majority of the citizens of the community, the state, and in the nation, must be brought to a realization that the proposed changes are important, and de-sirable. Recognizing this fact as a very potent force in the progress and advancement of educational theory and practice, the educator must assume as one of his chief duties, the re-sponsibility of keeping the ci-tizenry of his community concerning the impor-tant devilments in the phi'o-soph- y and theory of education. It is with a desire to contri-bute my might to this impor-tant fetor of educationel pro-igres-s that I have accepted the invitation to consider with you some of THE CHANGING CON-CEPTIONS OF EDUCATION. CHANGES IN THE CONCEP TION OF THE SCHOOL IT-SELF. The schools of the past were of today 7 it nas vastly cnang-ed- . We have a new conception of the school. For this new conception of education we are indebted chiefly to John Dewey, America's foremost modern philosopher of education; John Dewey believed in what he teamed the 'Child Centered' school, a condition in which children were allowed to work instead of merely to listen. A condition were the children were free to use their initiative instead of having every move they made and everything they did definitely detailed by the teacher. Self expression rather than learning subject matter was the goal. Doing, not mere-ly learning. Child activity not simply-studies-- ani lessens. Se'f actuated work not something handed down. An urge from within not something thrust from without Real experiences wi"h actual material, not theor-etic notions about' imaginary material. Livinsr Life Living the normal child life with op-portunities to unfold and de-velop in a normal and natural manner. (To be continued). Legal Battle For Child Possession DISTRICT COURT TO HEAR " CASE TOMORROW. In an effor to regain posses-sion of little daughter Jessie, writ from the District Court Monday, citing George Dahse, locaj chef who is in possession of the child and Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Adams at whose home tha little girl is being cared for. also Judge Fred R, Morgan . of the juvenile court and all others, of interest, to appear in' the District court May 3rd and give reason if reason they have, why Jessie is being kept from hei father. It appears that about four years ago and soon after the birth of littie Jessie, the parents gave her to Dahse that the mo-ther has since died and the fa-ther now desires to re take her. The citation also directs the Juvenile court officers to hold no more hearings in the case pending the citation and heal-ing Friday. MEXICANS SPRING REPRIS-AL ON DEPUTY. Bulets penetrate home where deputy lives, narrowly missing sleeping children. In retaliation for wholesale arrests of their countrymen, Mexicans bombarded the house where Deputy Sheriff Jonus Hansen lives, on Saturday night. Several large caliber bullets from three directions sizzed through the wals of the resi dence at Highland Boy, at mid night Saturday. On Friday night Hansen ar rested about fifteen men and women for fighting and drun-kenness and lodged them in jail and it was thought the shooting was caused by resentment for the arrests. Deputy Hansen has made 62 arrests during the two weeks he has been at High-land Boy. Our Schools BY DR. PAUL S. RICHARDS. (Note - Through the courte-sy of Dr. Richards, locd mem-ber of the board, the following resume of "Our Schools," read before the Kiwanis club last week, is furnished to our read-- J ers. Facts given relative to the or ganization and progress of the Jordan district for the past ele-ven years wit, we believe, be of interest to every school patron of the district.) REPORT. Jordan school district briefly outlined is as follows : Murray City North boundary; Salt Lake County line South boundary ; Wasatch range East boundary; Oquirrh range West boundary. The organization of the school district consist of Board of Education (five members), a superintendent of education, a board clerk, a superintendent of buildings and grounds, .and about 210 teachers, together with several advisory commit tees. At present, we have 18 schools, several of which consist of a group of buildings, ranging from two to five. There are seventeen grade schools, seven 2 1 1 1 J n junior ruga scnouis, ana c inyn schools. This equipment serves about 6,000 students which has increased about 16 in the past ten years. A few extrao's from the su-perintendent's yearly report are of importance. "Bearing directly upon the ef ficiency of ou rschool system, the figures relating to enroll-ment and promotion are signi ficant. Eleven years ago there were 715 children of school age who were not enrolled, and an additional 1120, or a total of 1835, or 36.6 of the total school population, who did not win promo'. ion; while this year we had practica'jly all children enrolled, and only 754 who fail ed of promotion. This number is. still too great,- - but 616 ol these withdrew from schoo', which left onlyl89 who were re tained without, promotion. Our high school enrollment is slightly more than three times as great as it was eleven years ago, and our high school gradu-ates have doubled in number. There is still too high a mortal ity among high school studen's, a tendency to become faint-hearted and to drop out before the tuj nign scnooi course is completed. Our daily attend ance has improved almost one third during the period under consideration. Many causes operate to reduce the percent age of attendance, such as phy sical and mental disability, sup-porting a widowed mother or an indigent father, graduation) fromhigh school, marriage, un der compulsory attendance age, etc., and we can never hope tc. secure 100, but 86 is still too low. We do not believe there is any good and sufficient reason why 14 children out of every hundred should be absent from school each day, Our attendance officers have rendered splendid services in improving attend-ance, but there are still too many parents who permit their children to absent themselves upon slight or trivial excuses The percentage of pupils whe failed of promotion is almost exactly equal to the percentage of daily absentees, although ir' regular attendance is, of course, not the only cause of failure in school work. SCHOOL ORGANIZATION. The committee on curricu'uro revision did very fine service in revising and enlarging the courses of study for the Junior High schools for the last year. These schools, of which we shall have seven in operation next year, are now in a position to assume an important function in our school system. They will bridge over the most critic al period in the child's Mfe, and for that reason we are placing in them the most expert and ca-pable 'teachers available. This is essentially an erp'oratory and experimental period of develop-ment, a period for careful guidance, mentally, morally and industrially, and we are ad-justing our subjects of study, methods of teaching, and a sys tern of discipline to best meet the pecuBar needs of students of this age. We look for our Junior High schools to become potent factors for guidance and development of adolescents as well as centers of social, civic and educational influence in the communities ia which they are located.

Wilfred Hurley, of the Paulist Fathers will come to Bingham, on Sunday, May the 12th, to conduct a week's mis sion for Catholics and Father Hurley has conducted missions throughout the West during the past year. During that period he established him-self with his audience as a speaker who was exremely in teresting in his discussions of a variety of subjelts. When Fa ther Hurley was in Magna about a month ago, the Copper Club was putting on its feature pro-gram of the season on the clos-ing night of the Mission. In spite of that opposition, than which there is no stronger be it said in compliment to the Utah Copper, capacity crowds turned out to hear Father Hurley. He appeals especially to nonCa-tho'ic- s as he was reared in non Catholic surroundings,' attended a c College and there-fore has a sympathetic view of the problems of those who are not affiliated with the church. It is superfluous to dwell on the magnetic personality of a missioner who undestands the pitfalls of civil life from his long experience in the United States Navy where he served as an officer during the World War resigning to study for the priesthood. may ll. lc uiiucjoi,uuu niai there will be no admission charges to this series of talks Father Hurley is a persona) friend of Father Ruel. the local pastor, and it is at the latter's invitation and insistence that he comes to Bingham. Every thinking citizen of this commun-ity shou'd arrange to hear Fa ther Hurlev during the week of May the 12th. THE LOWDOWN. Golf is a form of work made expensive enough for a man to enjoy it. It is a physical and mental exertion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,000 club house. Golf is what letter carrying ditchdigging and carpet beat-ing would be if they had to bo performed on the same hot It is probably the only game a man can pT.ay as long as a quar er of a century and then dis cover it was too deep for him in che first place. The game is played on care fully selected grass with little white balls, and as many ciubs as the player can afford. These baEs cost from 75c to $25 each, and it is possible to support a family of 10 people, all adults, for five months, on the money represented by the balls lost by some golfers in one afternoon. A golf course has 18 holes, 17 of which are unnecessary, and 'are put in to make the game harder. A hole is a tin cup in the center of a green. A 'green' is a small parcel of grass cost-ing about $1.98 a blade, and usually located between a brook and a coupk" of apple trees. The idea is to got the golf t al from a given point into each of the 18 cups with the fewest strokes, and the greatest num-ber of words. . The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried. It must be propelt' ed by about $200 worth of curious looking implements especially designed to provoke he owner. Each implement has a speci fic purpose, and ultimately some jolfers get to know what the purpose is, they are the excep tions. After each hole the golfer counts the strokes. Then he subtracts six and says: 'Made that in five. That's one above par.' After the final or,18fh hole the gofer adds up his score and stops when he has reached 87. He then has a swim, sings Sweet Adeline with six or sever other liars, and calls it the end jf a perfect day. THE TOWN DOCTOR (Doctor of Town) SAYS KNOW THE. VALUE OF YOUR TOURIST TRAFFIC. There has been a great deal written and said about the value of automobile tourists. Not all of it has been correct, since much of it has been more or ess guess work and the personal opinions ul groups pnrroting highway rentes and tratis and publishers of book3 in which advertising is the main issue. In many cases the data given out is somewhat out of line but be that as it is, the truth is nearer their figures than the realization on the part of most towns .of what the actual value really is. A check of auomobile tourist traffic in practically every cor ner of the country shows an average of 3 12 persons per car; the average daily expenditure for not less than fen-da- y trips to be over $17.00 an average of 250 milps dai'v. coverinz 17 the folks back home. On this basis, the potential cash value if each tourist car (a car more than 100 miles away from its home garage) is $1.04 to each of the towns through which it passes. These are few towns of 40,000 population, and many with less, that do not now have an average traffic pf 25,000 cars per week (3572 per day or 223 per hour for 16 hours a day less than two cars each way per minute) and motor traffic witl increase yearly. . , 25,000 tourist cars enroute spend $442,000 in 17 towns per week, or $26,000 per town. A business house with an annual business equal to this would be something to talk about. Every town has a chance at his business. It may not be $3,714 per day, but one fifth that much is something to go after. The Hve business orcanizati-- cities and towns; and that less 'han 20 of the traffic are 'Tin Can Tourists' those who live in camps and travel in what might be termed second class. Average expenditures will show: Gasoline - alT owing 250 miles, 15 miles to gallon at 16c, $2.75. Oil average of 3 pints per day at 30c quart, 45c; Automobile in-cidents, including storage, 50c; MeaTs. bkf. 50c, lunch 50c, din-ner $1, $7.00. Lodging average of $1.50 per person, $5.25 ; Inci-dentals $1.75. Toal $17.70. This does not allow for un-foreseen expenses, but does in-tfu- de possible tire and mechan-ical upkeep, tips, a soda or sand-wich now and then, and the usual Having a SweD Time to on knows the amount of traffic that passes through the town the same as any live merchant knows the number of people that pass his store. No town or business can tell if they are get-ting their share of business to be had if they do not know this. The cash value of tourist or motor traffic is great enough to warrant, concerted action and expenditure of goodly sums to get it, but there is more: 20 of the out-of-sta- motor traffic is in he market for, or can be sold, a new location. Good roads have widened the farmer's range of marketing at a profif. and have broadened opportuni-ties for the employment of la-bor, but too few towns and ci-ie- s have capitalized on it. ORGILL FUNERAL. The funeral services and bur-ial of Miss Luela Orgiil took place at Draper, her formei home, Sunday. Many friends from Bingham attended the funeral. The services were in charge of Bishop Roy Smith of Draper speakers included Bishop Lyon, K. C. Tanner and Bishop Ennes. In addition to the musical num-bers by the choir, vocal solos were given by J. Clement Crape and Mrs. Davis. Alford Henk gave the closing prayer and E. M. Steffensen dedicated the grave. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. BIG SHOW TONIGHT. The Vaudeville show to be given tonight af the Gemme'l Memorial Club is the attractiont of the week. Judging by the cast in the program, it will be one of he best of the many high c'ass shows to be given here. No small effort on the part of the committee, has been required, to assemble and ar rnno-- the following Program. Parmount Orchestra, io m, Piano and Drums to open show and accompany the acts. James W.

On Wednesday, May 8th, the Bingham High School will hold a joint Mothers and Fathers day exercise in honor of the fa ther8 and mothers of Binsham. Dr. Elmer I. Goshen wiW be the speaker and needless to say this forceful and magnetic ora-tor will do full justice to his subject. 1 A fine musical program is also being arranged for the oc-casion. An invitation is er'end-- ; ed to the puttie to participate with the school in this function. Miss Jennie Buchman and Miss Vern Bear entertained last Tuesday evening at the Buchman home, honoring Miss Alta Acord. Sewing was enjoy-ed. Luncheon was served to the cues of honor, and Miss Dora Hansen, Miss Florence Childs. Miss Verena Graham, Miss Lu-cy McComb, Miss Blanche Lar sen, Miss Bemice Blackburn, Misfe Lora Carling and Miss Adele Peters. Mrs. O. S. Jensen and daugh-ter spent the week end in Salt Lake with Mrs. Jensen's parents Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Waldemar. |
