Group Protests
Change in
Reporting System

| A group of parents of Hardin
school children appeared at the
regular meeting of the board of
trustees of school district No.
17-H at the grade school build
ing last Monday night to voice
disapproval of certain phases of
the new system of reporting in
itiated in the schools of the dis
trict this year.
The opinion conveyed to the
school board and the district
superintendent by the group
commended the school admin
iStration on the teacher-parent
conference, also initiated this
year, but disapproved of the
new type of report cards, due to
the fact they do not show the
child'S mark in the form of A,
B., C, etc.
The new report card places
the pupil in one of three clas-
Sifications, namely, "satisfac-
tory" Shows Improvement" or
needs to improve, in a variety
of health and social develop
ment categories and academic
subjects.
Those appearing before the
board expressed their prefer
ence for the grading system
previously used and asked that
the report cards contain a
grade marking in academic sub
jects under that system.
The group was unanimous in
praise Of the teacher-parent
conferences as a means of
bringing about closer coopera-
ton between the teacher and
parent for the child's benefit.
superintendent E. A. Skeie
pointed out that the first con-
ferenceS, held last month, were
highly successful, with an ap-
prox1mate~ 50 per cent turnout
of parents in the Hardin unit.
The fact was brougEaut that
the new reporting system is be-
ing used at the present time on
a trial basis in the first six
grades of the district. The su-
perintendent explained that i'm
provemants in the system may
be necessary, but gave no in
dication he was in favor of
report cards containing grades
under the system previously
used.
The board of trustees thanked
the group for their interest,
stating that the board. is very
pleased to have constructive
criticism from parents and 9TH
erS interested in any matters
of school administration.
A short discussion was also
had with the group on the
overcrowded conditions in the
Hardin unit and the possibility
of a new building or additional
space to accommodate an in
creasing enrolment.
In session following the dis
cussion, the board of trustees
stipulated that a record of pu-
pills grades will be kept by each
teacher. 1t was also stated dur
ing the discussion that ques-
tionnaires will be given parents
on which to register their COM
ments concerning the new re-
porting system. :

Pictured above is Royals Tar
get of KryStolida, registered
Golden Retriever, better known
to Hardin residents and dog
fanciers throughout Montana
and Wyoming as just Target
With him is his accumulation
of 27 trophies and ribbons won
in three years of field trial
competition, and his owner, Bill
Christensen of Hardin, who
handled Target in all meets.
Although many dogs in this
competition won more first
places than did Target, none
could match his record of hav-
ing placed in 80 per cent of the
trials in which he was entered.
Local sportsmen who have
hunted with Target on both up
land game and waterfowl claim
he was unsurpassed in those
fields.
His career and possible bril-
liant future came to a tragic
end when he was struck by a
passing car and killed in front
of the Christensen residence
one mile west of Hardin on
highway No. 81, Saturday, Dec.
2.
Since he would not have
reached the age of four years
until early in 1851, Target still
had his best competitive years

sjanieIs Is Named
Director of
Montana Chamber

George Daniels, Hardin bus
mess man, was named director
of the Montana Chamber Of
Commerce for Big Horn county,
it was announced today by Dean
Chaffin Of Bozeman, president
of the state Chamber.
In explaining the duties of
each director, Chaffin said:
Estate Chamber directors are
responsible for setting up a
sound, statewide program of
development in Montana'S COM
mercial, travel, industrial and
agricultural industries.
"a total of 1900 Montana
leaders are members of the
state Chamber. They want to
see it take the lead in coordi-
mating and sparkplugging the
sound development of our state.
The board of directors is the fl
nal authority on state Chamber
efforts to reach this objective.
"This task will not be easy.
Many who do not want to join
other Montanans in a coopera-
tive spirit of work and state
pride will criticize their efforts
to get results. However, I believe
that sound organization and
teamwork in every corner of
Montana will give us success"
Chaffin concluded.
Sweeping changes in state
Chamber bylaws have expand
ed the 19-man board of direc-
tors to Sc members, represent
ing each county, plus three to
be directors at large. Chaffin
said these changes make Cham
Der control more democratic
and give more members a direct
voice and responsibility for it's
work.
Under the board of directors
supervision, four statewide pro-
fessional committees actually
operate the Industrial, travel.
commercial and agricultural
programs. Each committee con-
trolls it's finances, staff and
projects. The Chamber staff at
Helena helps to carry out their
plans and policies.
Chaffin reports that finances
to carry on this development
work come from Montanans
who want to see their state
grow in a sound way and are
willing to work to that end.
