Wharton s. Jones, superintendent OF

The value Of part time education
along vocational lines Is being recog-
nized throughout the nation by business
men and employers, and under a recent
ruling Of the railroad administration,
shop employees are permitted a certain
period of time from their work for edu-
Cational purposes, according TO Mr..
Maclin. This ruling affects all shop
employees Of raj roads operating under
federal control and tho employees who
take adyantake Of the opportunities
thus offered are permitted n specified
number of hours each week from their
regular working hours for study and
recitation under the part time educa-
tional plan.
During the day an inspection Of the
work planned for the Crockett Voca-
tional high school under Prof. High
saws direction was made by Mr.. Mac
lin and plans for the eXtention Of the
work were also taken up. A portion
Of the state vocational education fund

and the matter OF establishing facili-
ties in Memphis for this work. Is to be
gone into considerable extent.

operation possible looking to the estab-
llshment in Memphis Of additional vo-
cational education facilities.
Mr.. Maclin is an enthusiast on the
subject of vocational training and
quoted one employer as stating this
concern could afford to pay its en-
ployes twice the salary they were re-
ceiving II they were trained under the
vocational plan for tehelr work. EN-
ployers are realizing that vocational
education means the elimination Of q
big item of waste and for this and
other reasons are encouraging their

opportunities for securing proper train
ing under the past time educational

WATER ASSESSMENTS ARE MUCH OVERDUE

A large number of water users of this valley have not yet paid their as sessments, which have been delinquent since May l have been accommodating interest at the rate of one per cent, which will have to be paid by the water users. A mistaken impression has been gained by many farmers of the valley that the assessments became due May |, while in fact they became due two months previous to that date. For this reason the one per cent pen alty was not imposed on April 1. but the payments have been delayed so long now that it was felt necessary by the authorities of the Salt River Valley Water Users association to do so be- ginning May i.
 Secretary Charles A. Van der Neer, of the association, reported last night that S70,000 in assessments yet remain unpaid The total amount of the as sessments is approximately S4S0,000. lie also stated that in two weeks the association, will advertise the matter for three weeks, after which period all those who fail to pay will have their claims sold.
