EXCERPS FROM ANNUAL REPORT JORDAN SCHOOL . -- v,,.vj ... A plan (o save one year of each pupil's life by having the work of ' twelve years completed in eleven was put iuto operation for the first time at the beginning of the . present yeur. The work to be cov-ered during the first six years, as outlined in the state course of study, was so rearranged as to be eovered in five years in our ehools. The work of the Junior High and the seni r high was . changed only slightly, bo that we (till have three full years of work in each of these schools. We have .Icmonstratcd this year that it is possible to do one and a fifth vear's work outlined in the state course in one year in the elemen-ar- y grades, mastering all the fwentit Is of elementary education in five years instead of six. We are thoroughly convinced that our pupils w ill be betiier prepared for junior high school work after one vear of kindergarten and five years of elementary work now than they were after six ) ears of elementary work ten . y ?ars ago. Our schools have made 4 progress in primary methods. The V, facility With which our primary du'dren aequire-th- e elements of '.earning is simply marvelous. In eading, for, example, our pupils end more and with greater facil-l- y during the first year, and do it with greater ease an' interest, ban they iwed to in the first two .'ears of school. We are conviuc-dso- , tha .' one full year on kinder-artc- n work will do much in the vay of preparing the child to do ffective first grade work in the vay of KOi inl ndjnstinent, oral ability to take and fol-o- w instructions, in addition 16 acquiring many skills and much n v lecigo which will be of ser-ic- e in future training and devel-opment. This will aid materially n making ecrtairt the mastery of the elements of education in the ive years preparatory to eu'.ttring 'he junior high school. . ' ? In order to make this adjust-ment as early as possible, the fifth md sixth grade pupils were given practically the same work this past year. In all the tess given Juriing the year, it was rather surprising that the fifth grade pupils stood practically equal with he sixth, aiid in some eases they ac. ually rated higher. Both grades were, .therefore, advanced to the junior high school at the close of the present year.. In the junior and the senior high schools a real opportunity presents itself for enrichment of the curriculum and laying a broad oundation for effec ive citizen-diip- . We have, therefore, reser-e- d the full s'x years for this period in which we aim to give a borough preparation for entrance o college for those wish to continue their formal education further, and for those who wish o enter the industries we shall have provided such knowledge and skills as to make of them ef-fective citizens. As a direct result of the build-ing operations which have been carried on during the past four " years, w e have now been able to organize three year junior high schools at Draper, Midvale, River-to- n, Sandy, Union, and West Jordan. In the west; end of the district the junior and senior high ire combined . in the Bingham high school. In the seventh, eighth and ninth grades we had vhis year a total t enrollment of 1495 students. Ten years ago the enrollment in the same grades was 1042. The enrollment in the jun-ior high school grades alone has, therefore, increased 43.5 in ten ears, which enrollment in grades uie to six, both inclusive, has in-creased only 19.3. The increased enrollment in the junior lu'gh has carried over int6 he senior high school. Ten years igo there were enrolled in grades en, eleven and twelve, 219 stu-dents. This year in the same grades the enrollment was 700 ind increase of about 220. Not mly are more than twice as many students attending the senior high but they come to it better pre-pared than formerly, and the grade of work they are able to do is of a higher standard. i J FIREMEN HOLD ! .JOINT SESSIONS 5 The regular joint meeting of the Bingham Volunteer Fire De-- I partment was held Tuesday even- - I ing at No. 2 Fire Ilall, This meet- - I ing. was attended by most every I firemen and keen interest was taken in the business of the de-- partment. : 7 ; One of the matters of most in- - 1 terest discussed at the meeting was the coming State Firemen's f Convention to be held at Tooele. ; It is the inrentioni of the Bingham boys to send a full delegation to I this meet.

JUNIOR LEAGUE CLOSESSATURDAY Much Interest, Rivalry and En-- , thnaiasm Showing Initial Year. Bingham Leads ; Junior. : The first year of the junior base hall has been most successful in tliis district. The enthusiasm and rivalry among the youngsters Kb been equivalent to that in the mi-nor or major leagues. The last, game will be pluye. next Saturday, July 13th and L all probability Bingham propej will be the winners. This team fathered by Boyd Bernard and managed by Bailey Santis'.even. iiiiH lost but one game so far thit-ur- . Notwithstanding Froi Town, Ifyluiid Boy, Copperfiiel.l. tiid Lark have kept very much ii the running at all times. The youngsters composing this Iivision and sponsored jointly by the American Legion and Kiwaim club' of Bingham Canyon have re-ceived real benefit from the league, as w ell as having had the iiost enjoyable summer. . The men serving on the various eonimittees have given much time jnd effort to the development of the skill of these boys and deserve Ttuch credit for the manner in vhichthey have conducted both lie games and practice games. The teams winning the division will compete in the state tourna nent to be held at Salt Lake City ind if successful there will als o to the National Tournatnen.' t e held in Chicago in September n addition to receiving all ex . h ti cK incidental to this trip, and he title of National Champions, Ik-- successful team at Chicafc--. ill receive iWO.OO in cash. ALL RECORDS NOW BROKENI Mines Break All Former Dividend Records - Utah Apex Back Wiith 25c Dividend. Owing to the favorable condi-tions of the metal market, much improvement has been made in the conditions of metal mining and llie quarter just ended has outstripped any previous period in the distribution of dividends. The following companies report an increased dividend as compar-ed with the previous production period : Calumet in Arizona, Val-uni-in Hecla, Ilohawk, Mother Lode Coalition, Nevada Consoli-dated, Isle Royale, Nichols Cop-per, Tennessee Copper and Chemi-cal, Utah Copper and Chile Cop-per. Am a result of financial read-justments affected during rhe last year, the total of dividend pay-ments by American ' Metal, and the International Nickel of Cana-da, both companies with some cop-per production interest, is apprec-iably greater than a year ago. . I LOCAL BOY SCOUT ; OFF. TO ENGLAND 7 Harold Chesler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theoi Chester, leaves today I from Utah to attend the World's Jamboree to be held in England. with the nine other Boy Scouts I The ten weeks trip will include a tour of England, Holland, Belli- ? gium, France and Germany. THE BIG PARADE The celebration held here July 4th proved to be a very successful affair. J. R. Mclntj-re- , chairman, and the various committees who had ihe affair in charge, are due much credit for the manner in which this event was put over. Perhaps the biggest feature of the day was the parade. Every organization in Bingham was rep-resented. Beautiful iloa and jfirls were to be seen in the line of march. . Dr. R.Gr. Frazier was marshall of the parade. Following him, cume an escort of B;y Scouts, as color bearers. Miss Mary Masters as Goddess of Liberty, surround-ed by a group of little girls on an elaborate float, made a very pret-ty picture. Miss Nerdin repre-sented Miss Ulah.' "With the city officials, American Legion,' fire department and Held's band, the parade was very effective. - The following firms, business houses and organizations were represented by floats in a very attractive manner: Wells Groce-teria, Bingham Mercantile Co., Bingham Garage, Elks, with a musical comedy float, Order of Ahepa, represented by Miss Helen Paulos of Magna, who is the new ly elected queen of the Ahepa Order in Utah, and the Italiain Lodge. ? The patriotic demonstrations, speeches and music were favorab-ly commented upon by everyone. It was a real day of enjoj-men- t for the people of Bingham and espec-ially for "Junior Bingham", by whom the day will long be re-membered. GEMMELL SHOW ) GREAT SUCCESS TI The musical program rendered i bythe Driggs family at the It. J C. Oennnell Memorial Club, Mon I day night was one of the bes-that has been seen here. Thi; t troup, cons;isting of a family of J nine members, may well be class- - f ed as real artists in their particu I lar line. , The large crowd which attcndci the show spoke, in the highest j praise of the quality of .uheir pro- - f duction. - - - But for the monoply of hund- - reds of noisy juveniles, which pre- - f vented many from being able t J hear the performance, the pro- - I graiuJwas thoroughly enjoyed. . Greatest Newspaper There are publications in tin-h- e large cities which "admit" that they are the worlds greatest levxpapers." In .'an address at the Ml A meeting by S.G. Crane, of the Campbell Ewald Company., one of the largest advertising agencies, the folowing interesting statements were made; "The greaTest newspaper in North America is not published in New York City, Chicago has none that oinpares with it. Florida or Cal-ifornia's large cities know it not. I(,or the greatest newspaper in .Vorth Ameriica wields ten times .he influence, is read by a hund-red times more readers, carries in stininbly more pages of adverti-in- g than any newspaper in any jity in this great , continent of ours. ' ' "The greaiest newspaper in North America gets closer to its readers, is read longer, believed in nore confidently, determines the jutenme of more elections, exerts a greater pow;er for progress,sells more merchandise and rights more wrongs than any metropolitan daily ever published. " The greatest newspaper in North America is issued 11,500 editions, fifty two times a year, published in 11,000 separate news paper offices in 8,000 towns and villages throughout the United Jtates.In offices occupying a com-bined fleor space far in exces of that afforded by the grat Wool-wort- h building of New York am1 the great Wrigley building in Chicago. "The business of this greatest newspaper in the aggregate would astound even ihe president of America's largest industrial cor-poration. The greatest newspaper hi America is the home-tow- n pa-per, better known to most of us is the country 'weekly." New-port Beach,- - California, News. explosion. C. Bevan, a worker at the plan! was a witness to Ihe shot am stated that the entire building seemed to grow red with heat in the fraction of a second after th' ignition of the powder and befon the actual report. In' this 'event the men probably burned to denth before being blown to atoms. SECOND SERIES OPENS I With three teams tieJ for first J place, the second half of the 1929 season opened last' Sunday with f Copper taking the game at Salt I Lake and Arthur was victorious I at Magna, I Although but little change has been made in the personnel of J the Copper, the team shows added strength over Uhat of the first I part of the season. Magna, Arthur and Salt Lake have made some changes and sev-! eral new faces are seen in their , lineup, but whether these changes will add power to their team re-- 1 mains to be determined. From the way Mclvor's boys brought lliemselves out of the I early slump to tie the league's leading teams, would indicate that the local boys are perhaps the strongest contenders for the second half, and it is safe to say tha: Bingham will be in the race all the way for the pennant. The Copper team is better bal-anced than it has ever been and with the shrewd management dis-played by Mclvor during the last few games the other teams will find the going plenty fast.

I THE TOWN DOCTOR j (THE DOCTOR OF TOWNS) f says n,1 I "RUN DOWN" IS IANYTHINO often heard people I speak of a community or section of the city as being "run down." If you stop a nd look at the mental picture that "run down" creates in your mind, you Will have a vi-sion of unkempt, cluttered up streets, with mussy entry ways to store buildings and apartment houses, and yards littiered with a little bit of everything. Anything that is run down is unatrractive-- it repels rather than invites. It makes you .say, "I wouldn't have that," rather than, "I sure would like to have one of those." In the case of a com-munity, "run down" causes you to say, "I wouldn't liive here on a bet," rather than to say "I like this part of town." Anything done or allowed to be done that tends to clutter up a community is bad for the com-munity and anything bad lor the community drives business out of and way from the community, and when it ia allowed to go on .continuously, there is only one """""""j thing that can happen; the com munity runs down; people move out and business goes "flooey." Therefore, it is only good busi-ness on the part, of the people.who make up a community to see to it that any practice that tends to clutter "up is eliminated.. One practice common to which is bad, is the dis-tribution from door to door, from store to store, from yard to yard, from car to car, of all sorts and shapes and sizes of hand bills and - - dodgers. There are many cities, commun-ities and towns that will not allow it at all; others require a license fee sufficient to make it imprac-tical, and they are wise towns. There may be an advertising value in these dodgers for those who use them, and certainly those who prnt them make a profit); but it is bad for the community, and unless the community is so fixed, financially, that it can maintain paper pickers and street cleaners in sufficient number to clean up the mesa they make, it is poor business, and as far as advertis-ing is concerned, the same money, spent in other channels will un-doubtedly bring greater results.
