It is probable also that a class in Agriculture and Poultry raising will be organized soon. Where less than six register for any subject, that subject cannot' be given. The above subjects are those for which a request re-quest was made by six or more, and others can be added. The teachers who will handle the classes so far employed and their qualifications are: Jay Beck, (B. Y. U.) graduate Mathematics and possibly pos-sibly chemistry. Mr. Beck is studying study-ing for his master's degree at the present time. Agriculture Kenneth Searle, B. Y. U. graduate; Sewing-Mrs. Sewing-Mrs. Marcel Hawkins, graduate of a Dress making school in France and a number of years practical lexperince (in sewing, remodeling, designing, pattern making, etc.; Mrs. Pearl R, Cunningham Book-keaping, Book-keaping, typewriting and short-hand graduate of the L. D. S. Business College and practical business of fice experience with three l&rge business concerns in Salt Lake. Classes similar to these are being organized all over the state. ' For the past ten days", says Charles H. Skidmore, state superintendent of public instruction, "Utah supe m-tendents; m-tendents; have been giving spc-jial attention to adult education." The .special reUe! allotment may amount to $100,000 beingj expended at the rate of $8,000 per month in the Istate." Mr. Skidmore also said, "The primary purpose of these- classes is to give to those who are unemployed and who have ability to teach, an opportunity to earn a small wage. This is far better than to simply make a dole without sevvlct;''. . "Ivo tuition is being oh.ugd. School buildings and other public builrirgs in the various eommii;;'-li'.s eommii;;'-li'.s are being tendered freely. In accordance with a recent a;'i--n of the state board of education it is also possible to give lower division college subjects for credit to high school graduates and others capable capa-ble of doing high school work. Before Be-fore the college classes are organized, organ-ized, it is . necessary to obtain the approval of the presidents of the higher institutions and of the state superintendent of public instruction, according to the information given by Mr. Skidmore the first of the week. The sewing and mathematics classes have already commenced and those who desire . these classes should lose no time in getting started. start-ed. The business classes of shorthand, short-hand, typewriting and bookkeeping started this morning (Friday). For information concerning the other classes contact Principal Walker at the high school as teachers are being be-ing arranged for. It is probable that several teachers will have to be called in from other towns, due to the fact that teachers who could pass the educational requirements, re-quirements, fail to meet the requirements require-ments of the local relief authorities, who are acting under strict instructions instruc-tions from the state. The school authorities here, who pass upon the educational qualifications of applicants appli-cants are not responsible for them being finally O. K'd for the position and would of course prefer to have local people employed. The relief authorities on the other hand have received their instructions and must abide by them as this relief measure was instituted only for those who are unemployed and to whom the help is urgent. |
