r It c omra 111 elTsayfi th a t the th Vnpr'anr thin ail the world for the individual is a sound body. This harmonizes, we believe, with common sense and; ripest judgment. Man's success j ! and happiness depends largely up- j on this instrument, the physical organism, through which the man j himself functions or operates. j Whatever conception one may have in mind, or soul, or spirit, or per­sonality, it must be in connection with the physical organism, me­chanism, machine. The physical machine differsfrom all other machines in that it is alive, self-operating, grow- i ing. One may purchase a new au- : tomobile and store it away for a year-and it will be practically as good as new; it has deteriorated but little. How different the hu­man machine. It must be fed ev­ery day, every hour, every minute its ration of food, air, water, etc., w-hich it appropriates for its own use in its double process of wear­ing down, building up. But this fact seems too obvious for discussion. Good health is life's greatest asset. Any deficiency here acts as an handicap to efficien-! cy, to happiness, to well-being, to j everything life offers. In our j thousands of years of experience we have learned much about the j propr food and care of this human mechanism, and it follows that it is the first duty of the in -' dividual to gather to himself as j much of this information as pos-j sible, and to put it into daily prac­tice for the upbuilding, care, cul- j ture of the personality with which he has been endowed. And so also the responsibility of caring for, training and educating the, young during infancy and imma- j turity in regard to these tnings is the first great responsibility placed upon parents and teachers.

There are 12 places to be filled, and there are about 30 con­testants for places. The Utah Rapid Transit com­pany put on a special early car to c high school on Monday morning, y This courtesy is very much appre- ciated. 5 ANOTHER PRIZE Another 10 district prize found its way to an Ogden High school student last week. This also was r from the home lighting contest and the recipient of the prize was Rollo Taylor. FINE DRESSES Many favorable comments have been made on the neat, artistic dresses worn by high school girls at the party Friday. The dresses j generally -vfrere very pretty and re­flected credit upon the good judg- ' ment and taste of the wearers. It but adds to the compliment to say that in most cases the girls made their own dresses. An instance is worth noting. One of the most beautiful dresses at the party was, worn by a girl whose father in in the dry goods busi­ness and sells fancy dresses. Yet this dress was not a ready-made. It was made by the girl herself in the domestic art department at the high school. BOX ELDER ATHLETES The Branch Agricultural college basketball team found it necessary to cancel its trip north, so cannot play with Ogden tonight. In lieu thereof a game will be played with the Brigham City Athletic associ­ation. This association has a group of former basketball stars and will furnish some mighty keen compe- fi t i n-n RADIO CLUB Arrangements have finally been , completed for the organization of a radio club. There are 12 charter j members in the club and it is quite , likely that the membership will be limited to that number. Instructors Ernest Wangsgarrd and Edwin S. Smith are advisors. WHY HE WASN'T PROMOTED Here are 21 things, any one of which may explain-why one fails of promotion. The list is taken from j i one of the rooms of the commer­cial department. It might well be j placed in every school room and in i every business office. 1 He grumbled. He watched the t clock. He was stung by a bad look. He was always behindhand, i He had no iron in h is blood. He t was willing, but unfitted. He did hot believe in himself. His stock i excuse was, "I forgot." He wasn't t ready for the next step. He did not c put his heart into his work. He learned nothing from his mistakes. He felt he was above his position, c He was content to be a second-rate s man. He ruined his ability by half ( doing things. He chose his friends from among his inferiors. He nev- er dared to act on his own judg- ment. He did not think it worth while to learn how. Familiarity with slipshod method paralyzed his a ideal. He tried to make "bluff" take the place of hard work. He 1 thought it was clever to use coarse g and profane language. He thought more of amusements than getting i I on in the world. THE CAUSE OF CRIME A critic recently wrote, "I some- times wonder, as I open my morn- ing paper, if nothing did happen j in the preceding 24 hours, except! ' crimes, accidents, defalcations, e deaths of unknown loafers, rob­beries, monstrous births, etc." Opposite this let us quote a par- j agraph from Elwood's Sociology, which was read Monday as an as- signment by more than 100 high school students: "The influence of the press as a popular education must here be mentioned as one of the important stimuli to crime under modern conditions. The excessive exploi- I tation of crimes in the modern ;i sensational press no doubt con- duces to increase criminality in t pertain classes, for it has been j demonstrated that crime is often f a matter of suggestion or imita- tion. When a large part of the space in our daily newspapers is j taken up with reports of crime and j immorality, as' it is in some cases, j it is not to be wondered at that ' the contagion of crime is sown broadcast in society. s "Assuredly the daily press has a i fearful responsibility in this eon-' nection." PRIMER OF POLITICS Senator Sorghum Politics is the art of turning in- . fluence into affluence. ' 4. shrewd enemy may be met and ; conquered, but a fool friend hai , you "coming and going. j A good memory is often a great ( help; but knowing just when to . forget things sometimes counts for j . more. , i Somehow a party platform re-j minds me of a lot of New Yearsj resolutions. Every now and then I see a gov- ernment salary that looks to me like a case of fearful over-capital­ization. Too many of us are trying to leave automobile tracks intsead of footprints on the sands of time. The reformer is a man who gats pushed off the band wagon and 1 has to start a procession of his own. OBJECTIVES IN EDUCATION 2.-Command of Fundamental Processes The second aim of education is- to secure to the individual a "com­mand of fundamental processes," i. e., that he may be prepared and j capable of doing the things that ' are necessary for hi mas a mem- ' ber of society. For ages Ave have , been saying the three "R's" are the fundamentals-these are the ; things all must possess. eW still maintain that in order to have any sort of standing in society one must be able to read, he must be able to I write, he must be able to compute in order to make the little busi- 1 ness exchanges that are necessary to existence. Beyond these now, also, in this highly specialized age, it is requisite that everyone ac- j quire skill in the performance of I some task or work that will bring him a livelihood. : j In the very lowest ranks of civ- I ilized society one must be able these days to do at least a few things well, otherwise he may not hope to survive. The more things he can do well, the more skill he can acquire in performing intricate or difficult things, the better are his chances for securing to himself the things that comport to his comfort and happiness. This truth is everywhere ac-i knowledged. At every turn in life j one is confronted with this perti- j nent question, "What can you do?"j The man sees clearly the need of training. Not so the child. The I man knows but is ill-adapted forj training; the child is especially fit,- i ted for training, for the acquiring of skills, but does not know, does not appreciate the necessity of training. The second objective of I education is the application of the man's experience, knowledge, to the needs of the child in the ac-! quisition of skills.

All Ogden students, fans and friends who can should go to Salt Lake Friday to root for the team in their first great clash in , basketball against the West Side High school. ' Where? Deseret gym. When? Friday night, 8 o'clock. How? Bamberger, 5:30 or 6:30 o'clock. How ;much? One dollar round trip. Why? Because we want to beat the West Side. West Side students will be there by hundreds. We should at least be there by scores. Your student body ticket and 25c will admit you to the game. In order to make a creditable showing everyone who can should i be at this opening game between, the "Big Three.' Much depends on this game. Shall we win it? Yea, bo! FAST HOOP GAME. The game Tuesday night with j Brigham athletes was a hummer., The players were old-timers- stars-some of them college play­ers-big fellows. They certainly made our youngsters hustle. The score, 39 to 29, is evidence that the game was peppy and full of thrills. Sh! Sh! Box Elder's big coach - Fergy - otherwise Fergu­son, played center. Keep it un­der your lid. If Jimmy Moss hears of "this, he won't let "Fergy" coach any more in Utah. Do not attempt to go to Salt Lake in automobiles. The roads are awful. It is unsafe to travel that way. All who expect" to witness the big game in Salt Lake are being asked to signify their intentions today. Should enough go we shall be able to get a special car as well as the special rate. Andrew Beck '22, was a visitor ! at school Tuesday. He passed his ' Christmas vacation in Florida, where the thermometer was around the 100 mark. He is learning 10 like the South and is enjoying his work very much. He will return to school within a very few daya. TO GET MATHEMATICS. ' In checking over senior cards J it is discovered that quite a num- ber of students have not met re- r quirements in algebra and geometry. Now classes will be oi- ganized in these subjects and stu- dents will be asked to take them, o- II English teachers are checking al­so on students who have failed thus far during junior and senior high school days to get a "speak­ing acquaintance" with English grammar. Classes will be organ­ized to accommodate those who have thus far missed this grand pportunity. INTERESTING ART TALK. Mrs. Joseph R. Morrell gave the high school girls a very interest­ing talk this morning on Art and Art Appreciation. Mrs. Morrell has visited many great art mus­eums both at home and abroad and enhanced her talk by personal experiences. She gave high praise to Mr. Stewart and his work and urged the girls ,to take advantage of the same. COUNCIL REPORT (January 13.) The meeting was brought to or­der by Harper Culley, president pro tem. Roll was called and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Max Morrison, chairman of the committee to investigate the cost of skull caps, reported that ap­propriate caps could be procured at 45 cents each. Verlin Carroll reported that only a few yells have been contributed in the yell contest, and suggested that the time be extended. The motion was made and car­ried that the time be extended to January 29. The winners to be announced in assembly the day following. The committee on yells, com­posed of Verlin Carroll, Laurence Van Dyke, and Helen Vogel was appointed to take charge of the advertising for the contest. DIAET REPORT. Once again a never-dying ques­tion was aroused when the Diaet held its regular meeting Monday afternoon. The question was: "Resolved, That a uniform dress I should be worn by all school chil­dren." The debaters for the af­firmative were Helen Merrill an3 Marguerite Hicks, and the debat­ers for the negative were Delta Brown and Ellen Myers. The' judges gave a unanimous decision to the affirmative. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. It has just been reported thatj Ward Armstrong, efficient busi-' ness manager of the Year Book, I and popular student-body officer, I received some beautiful dolls for Christmas. We are pleased to know that charitable organizations are looking after our little tors whom Santa might overlook. -A FRIEND. SCHOOL YELLS. The council recently decided to extend the time limit on the yell j contest untK to weeks from the j coming Friday. This action was taken due to the fact that, only a few yells' have been submitted. This is a big opportunity to make some money. The prizes are 7, 5 and 3. All that is necessary to compete consists of writing an original yell, placing your name on it, and dropping it into the ! Tiger box. At the same time the student is performing an act of j school patriotism, and, if it is the right kind of a yell, he is leav- j ing something in the Ogden High school that will be there when he I is gone. Ogden High school is deficient in its yells. Let us have a yell from every student. THE FORUM. Our meeting Tuesday night was of unusual interest. After the business of the evening was over we turned to the difficult task of electing new officers. After much argument and discussion we final­ly elected as our next president, Mr. Ward Armstrong, and as sec­retary Mr. Frank Mouritsen. Wc feel that in Mr. Armstrong we have a very worthy man. He has shown much interest in the club and ranks high in the debating circles of the school. Mr. Mourit­sen is also a very good man for- the secretaryship. We look for­ward to a successful year of de­bating under our new officers.
