iWmmVote SlatedToday OnNew SchoolfhiwlwlapbilthinolaiJosefitexlabi:Residents of Marsh Valley will go to the polls today to vote on whether to issue bonds for construction of a $600,000 high school at Arimo.The new building, if approved, would consolidate high schools of Lava Hot Springs, McCammon, Arimo and Downey.Polls in the various districts include District No. 5, at McCammon high school auditorium; District No. 4, at Lava Hot Springs high school; District No. 3, at Arimo high school auditorium; District No. 2, Downey high school auditorium; District No. 1, LDS ward church at Swan Lake.Opinions on the consolidation have been aired during the ppst Tew weeks at open foruift meeting in the various areas, which were attended by Alton B. Jones, state superintendent of public instruction, and O. D. Cole, high school inspector.“An important factor brought out was that since the standards of education have been improved through the recommendations of the Peabody survey, only one high school in Marsh Valley meets the state requirements. In order to bring the other high schools up to standard, the expense would be prohibitive according to the valuation of the school district, pointed out Leo Hansen, district school board chairman.Main advantages to be derived from the consolidation school would be the improvement in quality of education, it was pointed out, pr by advocates.Benefits would also include more extra-curricular activities, specialized teachers, completely equipped departments, and more leadership opportunities for students, they argued.MmtfmaimfetocrJoof1hptrefecacoPimrum
