Speech Therapy
Class Progresses
In Noble Countf
Speech therapy classes which
began June 22, are progressing
according to schedule, with a
total of 35 students from Cald
well and surrounding county
communities enrolled in the
various classes.
Ages range from five and one
half to 16 years. The students
are divided into different groups,
depending upon age and the
particular speech defect.
The younger group finds dif
ficulty with substitution souritis.
For example, the "c" in camera
is pronounced as "t" or the "k"
in kind is pronounced as "t".
•In the older group of children,
stuttering is the big problem.
Also articulation errors and
pronounciation are a great hind
rance to correct speech.
There is a maximum of three
in a class and in many cases
much work is done with in
dividual students.
Mr. William Hodgson, speech
therapist, announced that speech
classes for such students will
continue for the next three
weeks. This will conclude his
summer's work in Caldwell.
Mr. Hodgson said that parents
failing to enroll their child in
one of these blasses, should talk
with him as he may be able to
give them some pointers and
literature so they may aid in
the correction of their child's
speech.
Mr. Hodgson may be contacted
through the Noble county exten
sion office in the court house.

Millage Schedule
Is Announced For
School Bond Issue
Average Rate Would Be 5.2 But
It Will Be As High As 6.81 Mills
A schedule of bond retirement for calculating the annual aver
age tax rate has been set up by Noble county Auditor Stanley Osier
lor the proposed Caldwell school bojjd issue.
According to the schedule, the bonds would be retired after a
period of 23 years with an average millage rate of 5.2 calculated on
basis of a tax valuation of $6,-
414,822.
This retirement is based on a
payment of $23,000 per year for
18 years on the principle, and
$22,000 per year for the same for
the remaining period of time
completing 23 yearst. In addition,
the millage rates include a
cheduled sum going out on
interest.
The following millage figures
are the proposed schedule for
yearly rates, based on payment
of the principle and interest, with
the rate decreasing slightly each
year during the 23-year period:
first year, 6.81, 6.67, 6.53, 6.38,
6.24, 6.10, 5.95, 5.80, 5.67, 5.52,
5.38, 5.24, 5.09, 4.94, 4.81, 4.66,
4.52, 4.38. 4.08, 3.94, 3.81, 3.67,
and 3.53 for the last year.
Going bv the above schedule a
total payment on the principle
of $524,000 would be realized
with the interest amounting to
$244,300, for a grand total of
$768,300.
Auditor Osier reports that no
schedule was given to him by
the school board and that the
above is one prepared in his
office. He states, however, that
jny schedule used would amount
o approximately the same fig
ures and that the one used is
close to any that might be
presented.
Olser also said that the yearly
millage rates were figured on a
good tax return, and if a large
number of taxes was to be delin
quent, the rates for subsequent
years would undergo some
change to make up the differ
ence.
