Abstract
Free men cannot be taught properly by slaves; courageous citizens cannot be properly educated by scared hired men. (1)
In Ogden, Utah, education is big business. With capital assets of approximately $8,000,000, a current budget of $3,065,000, a staff of 570 full-time employees, and an enrollment of 12,650 students (5), education ranks high insofar as its effects are felt by the citizenry of the community.
The administrative staff of Ogden schools feel the necessity of keeping informed on current opinions of school patrons concerning their schools. Being employed by the public, they are servants of the public; and the degree of satisfactory service they render depends on the extent to which they are aware of what is expected of them. The taxpayer sometimes feels he is being overcharged for certain items, and good school administration takes responsibility for keeping him informed of the benefits he is deriving from his dollars expended.
