I 'Ro"'-LGL * eac ·. er rom * For Excellence in Teaching OMA JARVIS KNIGHT kindergarten teacher Paradise Elementa.ry School, Las Vegas HONORABLE MENTION Sister John Louis, O.P. St. Joseph's School, Las Vegas Each winner of The Instructor Excellence in Teaching Award receives a personally inscr.ibed bronze medal and a $50 check. A framed certificate commemo- · rating the event is given to the school. This series _began September 1963. Next month: Teacher from New Hampshire ONLY A HORSEWOMAN such as Roma Knight would compare teaching kindergarten to breaking in wild young colts. In a very natural way Mrs. Knight applies her knowledge of horses to starting children on the education trail. "Gently, but firmly," says Roma, "each five-year-old must be 'broke to lead.' Like horses, they pull and strain at a hard hand and ignore a weak hand, but they respect a firm, consistent hand. When given his head, a well trained horse will use judgment in making his own trail." What Roma seems to take for granted is that anyone can develop this technique of handling kindergarteners. But unfortunately it just isn't so. Some teachers overdominate those youngsters until their natural. high spirits have been destroyed. And others don't conceal their fear of the- untamed and let themselves be thrown. The faculty at Paradise Elementary School know this and admire the patience and self-confidence that special trainer Roma Knight has. They kn.ow it is a gifted teacher who can instill in a child a sense of both his freedom and his need for discipline. Roma's steady hand in the classroom is a friendly but businesslike relationship with her pupils. Hers is not a playing, babysitting kindergarten, but a place where beginning pupils can corral their eagnemess to learn. Modern equipment such as overhead projectors, listening stations, and programed materials are used to help the children develop their special skills and interests. Roma's own early training and talent in music are obvious assets to her teaching. Roma and Mrs. Dorothy Carter, the other kindergarten teacher at Paradise School, have worked out a form of team approach which they call co-teaching. In this way their pupils benefit from the strengths of each teacher as well as the support of both. They have successfully instituted a phonetic reading program, helping kindergarten children begin to read on a highly individualized basis. Mr. Strandberg, the counselor for the school, is also helping them develop a mathematics program for their kindergarten classes. Principal Frank Lamp_ing praises the. way Roma and Mrs. Carter use the specialists, consuJtants, and other school resources to good advantage. "I am a guide," says Roma, "charged with responsibility for each child as well as the group as a whole. I must select the main routes, but also include interesting side trips suggested by the children. Then there are times when we rest and take stock before deciding which path to take next. Invisible reins permit the children to frisk about without my having to lose control." The balance between freedom and discipline is maintained in Roma's. personal life, too. At their "Circle K" home, Mr. and Mrs. Newell Knight enjoy an active outdoor life. Now that their daughter Sheri,I is raising her own chi-ldren, the Knights concentrate on raising horses and dogs. A patio-surrounded swimming pool is the center. of their informal social life. Although Roma belongs to several civic organizations, her most colorful out-of-school. activities are connected with the Nevada Lariettes. With this. women's riding organization, Roma frequently parades her registered palomino, Daredyke. _ Now we're not going to ride herd on all teacher-training institutions and insist that horsemanship be a required course. But we m.ight recommend that schools observe how teachers hold the reins in their classrooms. Their postures in the saddle reveal a great deal. Besides, it's just horse sense! ~ - 62 · THE INSTRUCTOR, May 1967 Sharing books is an important part of the reading program in Roma's kindergarten. Paradise ~lementary School's Principal Frank Lamping and full-time counselor Walter Strandberg share a joke with Mrs. Roma Knight. Photos by John Galli/ent Roma and her palomino, Daredyke, are all decked out in their best parading finery. "When given his head, a well trained horse will use judgment in making his own trail."

OFFICE MANAGER Juanita Brooks o. Box 303 St. George, Utah P. Dear Juanita: I read you letter to Miss Lee today and she took the news of your husbands death very well. The letter brought some tears of sadness and she has ask me to write to you and express her great love for you and your husband. She expressed how wonderful it was that Will was so active and alert up to the time of his passing. She was extremely interested in the progress of the Chronical and wane to have you keep her posted on its progress. Over and over she has expressed her love for you and the work that you have done for her grandfather. We both know how touching and close this is to her. She ask me to let you know that in the event that she is unable to attend the monument dedication that she would like me to represent her at the monument. She has on several occassions had me take her place in speaking engagements about her grandfather. I pass this along only in as much as she requested it. She looks good and her strength is coming back slowly . The last stroke she had has left some paralysis in her left arm . Her mind is still sharp, however, she is repeating herself more and more often , but she is fairly clear on the things she is talking about . She still enjoys a hearty laugh and possesses a keen sense of humor that has s o characterized her personality. I know she would be thrilled with a visit from you and it would do much to lift up her spirits . I will keep you posted on any further progress and if you do come down I would enjoy seeing you again . Our office staff has taken up a collection for a memorial to your husband and enclosed is a card expressing our sympathy. Sincerely yours, Director NEH/bs GRINSTEA D & PARMELEE R. A.

ROWEN May 19, 1970 Mrs. Juanita L. Brooks St. George, Utah Dear Mrs. Brooks: I'm sure you will recall the memorial cards you recently received from us here at the Ettie Lee Homes. These cards, as you know, came at the request of 1r . & Mrs . Henry A. Pace. It has occurred to me that the Ettie Lee homes may be somewhat new to you and that you might like to know a little more about us. I have, therefore, taken the liberty of enclosing some information which may be of interest to you. Enclose is a copy of our Fireside which carries news of our boys and the latest building projects. It also shows you how we handle our memorial listings. This is our 20th year of operation, which means some of the boys who came to us in the early years are now young men. Some of them are married and have families of their own. Others are in the service of our country. It is a richly rewarding experience to have some of them visit the homes and relate their different experiences since they have left. As I listen to them, I'm glad Miss Lee had the courage to start these homes and the detemination to carry them on. As we look to the future the trend continues to be toward intake of younger boys, which means we are getting to them earlier and thus, have a better chance to help them. Your memorial, of course, will appear in the next issue of our Fireside and we will send you a copy as soon as it is published. Very sincerely yours, -/ ) / . t Neil E.

Lee . 11 Our associate editors met yesterday and after much discussion, have decided that we must return the manuscript to you, in view of our present publishing program. We greatly appreciate your efforts concerning the manuscript, and are quite embarrassed at the delay and inconvenience it must have caused you . We wish you the best , and hope you will try us again in the future . Sincerely, ~n.~ Jane M. Offers Editorial Ass ' t .

He quoted from The Sun: "Strikers kill Webb. Strikers fire into moving train." Which left, he said, no question in the readers' minds as to the men's guilt. T he Sun reported: " ... feeling high in Spring Canyon with a bunch of red-blooded citizens out to clean up on the disturbers." The Sun argued that the residents of the county were not bloodthirsty, as King implied, but only desirous of justice. County Attorney Dalton produced affidavits from seven hundred citizens, "all disinterested," to repudiate King's accusation of prejudice. The change of venue was denied and the trials began. George Manousos was tried first for the assault on Sam Dorrity and was Sam A. King, attorney for Greek strikers accused of murder in the sentenced to twenty years. After a long, Carbon County Strike of 1922 . bitter trial, Pete Kukis, the first dePhotograph from the Utah State Historial Society. fendant in the Webb murder trial, who had a wife and child in Greece, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Next Mike Zulakis was sentenced to ten years. King still sought to move the trials to another district and his request was finally granted. The case was transferred to Castle Dale, an isolated Mormon community farther south in the eastern Utah desert. The trial was a sensation for the inhabitants to whom the Mediterreaneans were a novelty and the streams of cars bringing people from Carbon County an unusual activity. There Pagialakis was sentenced to ten years. Throughout the case, County Attorney Dalton's prosecutions were based on the men being undesirable immigrants who negated American institutions by joining strikes. He castigated the men for not serving in the world war. These two facts made it certain that none of the men would escape imprisonment. "A vicious element," The Sun called the Greeks, "unfit for citizenship ... must America be a haven for foreign born, criminally inclined persons?" In the same issue Greek consul Stylian Staes' arrest was noted 1/L Utah H zstorzcat (!,uarte rt: who were on either side of the tracks in the narrow canyon. Sam King gave the strikers' version: The pickets insist that when the train left the tunnel portal, near which the shooting occurred , they acted in their usual manner,, a number approachin g the train on the track and in the open. They say that firing at once started from the train, and that the Greek was shot at that time. Some of the strikers made for cover; some remaine d in the open, and some returned the fire .... They insist that the train carried both guards and strike breakers and that judging by the number of shots fired from the train, the strikebre akers must have been armed. 112 The following day the Nation al Guard comma nder, Major Elmer Johnso n, ordered patrols on Helper 's streets, roads, and at the raiiroaci station . All vehicles and persons at the freight depot were ordered searche d and "none but Americ an citizens allowed to leave withou t proper authority ." Miners were taken from their tent colony by guards, "lined up iri a field where Major Johnso n told them the meanin g of martia l law and that they must give up their arms. The women and childre n of the miners followed them. The major's speech was interpr eted by Peter Karika ris, a leader among foreign miners ." 113 Andrea s Zulis, the wound ed Greek miner, had disapp eared while under custody, and the militia rampag ed throug h the town and tent colony in search of him. Greek stores and pool halls were closed. At the Liberty Pool Hall in Spring Canyon fifteen men entered , all but one with masks or blacken ed faces, and drove nine Greeks at gun point down the canyon, warnin g them not to return. Fifty other men were waiting outside of the pool hall in suppor t of the masked men. 114 Sam King condem ned the mob and said: "Upon my arrival in Price a week ago to try a murder case, a deputy sheriff informe d me in the very courthouse that it would not be long before every foreigne r on strike would be driven out of the county and there would be no place in the county for their sympath izers, includin g their attorney ." 115 Two days later troops raided all pool halls and coffeehouses in Helper searchi ng for guns. Fourte en Greeks and one Italian were arreste d for the murde r of Webb on H. E. Lewis's identification. Sam King attemp ted to have the trials moved to anothe r county because of the intense feeling against the Greeks. His request for change of venue argued that the people of the county were already prejudi ced against the men throug h the Salt Lake Tribune, June 15, 1922.

May 27, 1970 Dear Mrs. Brooks: It was certainly a pleasure seeing you yesterday and being able to report to you that things are going as favorably as they are. Yesterday when we picked up some things, I inadvertently didn't give you the Introduction, because of that I enclose it now for your consideration and approval. As well I'm sending a copy to Dorothy Mortensen on Perry Avenue so that we might clean this up completely. I think , that you are going to be enormously pleased with this, as I know I shall be. I would, as well, like you to send to me the copy of an article written about you by Dale Morgan. I think this would be ,most worthwhile and I would like to have it for the mailer that we plan to send out. As well I hope that you are taking the time to think up some of the things that should be photographed, because we plan on being down there to photograph, in the next several weeks, various buildings and places of interest. Last evening I met with Joel Izatt until about 11:30, Joel is interested in getting a picture of Mexican Hat , I hope that you will send that along,~l. Sometime within the next two weeks we hope to be with you , I hope this letter finds you well, again thank you so much for your courtesies.

Representative Burton is appearing as part of the Center• s Utah and the West Seminar, and will speak on t he subject of the National Trails System. Mr. Bwton has been involved in all committee hearings relative to the development of the National Trails System and, consequently, should be well informed. With the interest the Historical Society is now taking in historic site s, which, of course, include our great trails, it occurred to me you might be interested in attending this part of the Utah and the West Seminar. Consequently, I have inquired of Dr. Miller who has encouraged me to invite you. If it meets your schedule and is of interest to you, I would be pleased if you could join us. I am informed that the cost of the meal would be $ 4. 5 0. The dinner itself begins at 7:00 p.m. and the lecture at 8:00 p.m. Reservations need to be called in by noon on Tuesday, June 16, and the number to call is 322-7611, Western History Center.

PRESIDENT 84601 COLLEG E O F RELIG I OUS INST RUCTION 132 JSB June 22, 1970 Mrs. Juanita Brooks St. George , Utah ·• Dear Sister Brooks: I have tried to do my homework so I wouldn't have to bother you with this question, but I am appealing to you after experiencing no success--just in case you have some material on the early visions of the prophet or a lead to this that would be significant. I am trying to gather as comprehensively as possible the accounts of all of those who reported what Joseph Smith said about the first vision--and, incidentally, other early visions . I was intrigued by your comment in the printed speech, "Jest Cop'in. 11 The thoroughness with which you went about studying the entry of Alexander Neibaur is a lesson to most Mormon historians because they have simply not been this thorough. You make the point that you have been interested in "Mr. Bonney." In as much as he was present when the prophet recalled bis vision to Neibaur, I am also interested in Bonney, but I have found virtually nothing on him. Is it possib l e that there is a diary of Bonney's someplace which gives his account/ of this experience which he evidently shared with Neibaur. I don ' t want to trouble you with a great amount of detail, but any biographical sketch that you feel prompted to include would be appreciated. Simply where the man went after he came to Utah, and. where he died, would be interesting. I surely appreciate your patience in answering questions. Sincerely, Richard L.
