UTAH SCHOOL HEAD SPEAKS Jensen Tells Kiwanians or Value of Home Training 1925 Ten million dollars annually is being spent toward the education of Utah's students, C. N. Jensen, state superintendent of public instruction, informed members of the Kiwanis club at their weekly luncheon today. "Of this vast amount at least $2,000,000 is wasted because the folks at home fall to influence! their children and see that their conduct is courteous at all times," said Superintendent Jensen. He said that character in education is a new subject that will j be carried out in the future and one of vast importance. "Since the late 'Var Americans in the majority have adopted the 'get by' attitude," said Superintendent Jensen. "In the case of boys in school there always comes a time when one must buckle down and get to work. DISRESPECT FOR LAW "I don't believe there has ever been a time when there has been so much disrespect for the law as the present. Youths of today between the ages of 15 and 18, I am informed from good authority, are in the criminal class and trouble makers. Police officers have told me that they would much rather handle the older criminals of other days than the youths of today. "The parents are in a position to better these conditions." Mr. Jensen praised the Ogden City schools, stating that they are leaders in practically every department Under the leadership of W. Karl Hopkins the city schools have rapidly come to the front, he said. He also praised the work of F. T. Wiggins, in charge of part- time school and Americanization. He said that he had no peer in this work in Utah and the west. Jed Ballantyne was chosen to captain the Kiwanis baseball club and issue a challenge to the Exchange club. i Ed Greenwell entertained with two songs. President E. P. Mills urged the ! members of the club to turn out and attend the final game of the I Intermountain tourney today. WANTS YOUNG MEN TO LEARN TRADES ' H. M.

URGES AID FOR BACKWARD ONES Sept Teachers Hear oall; Jeppson Kept As President 1926 I. S. Noall, in charge of the delinquency and part-time instruction divisions of the state schools, j gave an interesting talk late Tueseday afternoon in the Weber county school teachers' institute on "How to Interest the Backward Student." He contended that it was insufficient for the school t system to develop the brilliant a students only, but that they must o develop a course of study for all. He advocated the enlarging and, v enriching of the curricula to serve- a this purpose. c "Student3 whom we cannot in- t terest in regular school work," he a said, "necessitate the establishing P of part-time schools." He contin- j ued further in reference to teach- t ing: "A sympathetic attitude by the teacher is essential, and even more so, with the poor student as it is with the brilliant student. Each one of them, even the slow scholar, might be exceptionally good in some one vocation.' Norman Jeppson, principal of the Burch Creek school, was reelected president of the County Teachers association in a business meeting following the two-day institute. Other officers named were Sidney Wyatt, vice president; Mrs. Jennie C. Neal, secretary-treasurer, with the following executive committee members: Floyd Barnett, Kenneth Mills, Mina M.
