SCHOOL HEADS
DISCUSS WORK

School superintendents OF number
of Utah districts met Monday after
noon at the Office OF l.. J. Muir, state
superintendent of instruction. at Salt
Lake, for the purpose of formulating
tentative program for the annual
meeting of school superintendent
which will be held Fridry and Satur-
day.
Those attending the meeting were

OF the University OF Utah.
The association of superintendent.
headed by the superintendent OF pub
lie instruction, Is planning a greatly
improved school system in Utah and
contemplates extensive programs for
the more thorough education Of
youths and the development Of high
err citizenship. Principal among the
projects to be considered at the an
nual meeting this week, and for which
the meeting Monday paved the way,
is the appointment Of Legislative
committee. perfection OF plans for an
all year program of education, a con-
stitutional amendment to obtain in
creased funds, an equalization OF edu
cational opportunity throughout the
state and state exhibit of school and
educational work at the county fair.
Home and School Nearer.
The underlying motive Of the gen.
eral program which It IL hoped to
develop is to bring the home and
school nearer and to augment per-
sonal standards OF students. In at
tanning these ends II will be neces-
sary for individual districts, Mr.. Muir
thinks, to pilot their own way un-
der general system Of regulations
assuring unity Of achievement. In
these achievements It Is proposed that
the all-year program shall have an
important part. and that junior and
senior classes, or from the seventh
grade upward. shall be- under the sup
ervision Of community leaders during
the vacation period.
Subjects cited for study during this
period include health, civics. thrift
improvement OF personal habits and
incentive to personal achievement.
Under such system close personal
observation and inquiry would be ne
cessary. To this phase Superintend-
ent W, Karl Hopkins Of Ogden OBJ
jectod. He declared that. while the
plan Of teaching thrift and the other
subjects suggested was commendabe
Il would be rather an assumption to
enter too intimately into the students
personal life.
Professor J. II. Paul of the Univer.
sity OF Utah was rather inclined tc
support Mr.. Hopkins view. asserting
that the work which boy scouts are
accomplishing suggests G method By
which educators can engage in rails

keep rlive the desire TO achieve high
standards Others at the meeting wer,

that the plan would not be who'll,
adaptable to the conditions with
which they have TO contend. Tn,

definite conclusion at the annua
meeting.

Utah Plan Foremost.

Superintendent Muir observed that
at the convention OF the National
Education association held recently
in Salt Lake Utah had rather assum-
ed certain responsibilities In prom
ises OF achievement, end that II was
up to the educators to retreat from
that position or to prove the truth
OF their claims
The legislative committee. which
VIII be appointed at the approach
ing meeting, will take up the task OF
procuring n constitutional amendment
which will enable children OF all sec
tons of the state to enjoy equal edu-
cational advantageS. regardless of
their geographical location and the
condition Of the school funds In their
respective districts. This would in
volve large appropriations by the
state for educational work. Other
problems relative TO schools and
school teachers on which legislative
action is desired will be presented at
the next session.
In previous years exhibition OF
school and educational work at the
state fair, while largely creditable,
did not, in the opinion OF several OF
the superintendents thoroughly rep
resent the state Of Utah. This year
an exhibit of extensive nature. In
which every section Of the state will
have full representation, will be ar
ranged, IL the superintendents obtain
an Endorsement OF their plans and
receive the support which they pro-
pose TO ask for.

Of the slackened interest In social az

Teaching Agriculture
On Farms Is Success
Instructors Now al Work In All
States, Says University Of
Illinois Professor

URBANlA, Ill.,, Dec. s.-The newest
set Of agricultural teachers-those who
go to the farm boys at their work In
the open country-are making a great
success, according to A. W. Nolan, as
sistant professor Of agricultural extern
sion at tho University of Illinois.
Since the passage OF the Smith
Hughes vocational education act in
1917 teachers Of agriculture are now
at work in all the states Of the Union"
Professor Nolan said. "These teachers
are emp Dyed for twelve months in the
year. They are paid partly from local
funudus uand upartly from Federal
funds granted by the vocational act.
Under the provisions Of this law, all
students enrolling in vocational agri-
culture, with teachers thus EMPLOYED.
must carry on for six months of the
year, as required part of their course,
farm project under the supervision of
the teacher
"A teacher Of agriculture literally
lives with his boys during the summer
months, directing their work. study
mad business in connection with their
arm projects. The boys In these
'lasses are usually organized into vaca-
lonal clubs, under which auspices
rips are taken to sales, fairs, universi-
ties, agricultural exhibits and good
farms. All of this reacts to the moral
and social, as we'll as tho vocational
and agricultural education Of the bows.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1920, nearly 1000 schools had estab
llshed departments of vocational agri-
culture and $4,000 boys had enrolled
n the work, carrying on the farm prac-
tlce as required. The Federal board
reported for the year that the income
from the projects of the boys carrying
on the farm practice was approximately
$;l,oo0,0oO, a sum Of money larger than
the Federal grant to the states for
carrying on the work in agriculture.~

chase by the state of two and one
quarter grams of radium, the larg-
est commercial transaction of its
kind ever made and the first pur-
chase of radium by any state for
a purpose Of social utility was an

chemicals was employed to reduce
the ore to q concentrated mass of
two and oae-ouarter- grams.
