Fisher, former minister of education in Great Britain, after a visit over here, i It is conceded in both England and America, by Mr. Fisher as well as hundreds of other promi- nent educators, that America's I system Of primary education sur­passes England's, while England's j secondary and higher education in ; thoroughness and mastery sur- j passes our own. I In this connection, however, we must not forget that high school ; and college education in England i is for a very choice, select group, j and not as in America for the masses. In the widest sense our i education is democratic. England's higher education is quite aristocratic. j Should England try to educate ' all her children as does America? i W'e dare say we should not be obliged to admit that she sur­passes us in our work of higher education. i civilization's great task j Here is a paragraph taken from a Boy Scout magazine that, might i appropriately receive the atten- ! j tion cj" all parents, teachers, legis- ; J laters: i "Child culture produces the world's most vital crop, let agri­culture, horticulture and pig cul­ture have become sciences, while child culture follows rule-of- thumb. The life cycles and needs of pigs are more scientifically un­derstood by those who raise pigs than the life cycles and needs of childhood are known by those who raise children. Congress ap­propriates 3,000,000 for the first and 300,000 for the other. Child­hood is the key to the future of civilization, yet civilization as a whole is illiterate, unlearned in child culture. The culture of childhood is civilization's most basic human task, yet most of us know little about it." Children are either enjoyed or endured, but they are rarely studied or understood. the cost of ignorance Child exploitation, physical de­fect, ragged nerves, delinquency, broken homes, shattered. ideals, flaunted laws, poverty, disease, ir- religion, crime-these are a part ; of the horried toll we pay for our 1 neglect and ignorance. 3-3-25 Ogden High School Notes The contest is on: Have you got your Classicalia ticket? Remember, all tickets must be sold this week and the queen must be elected by Friday. Miss Beatrice Bletcher leads out in the queen contest, having re­ceived the greatest number of votes on Monday. Helen Storey is second; Marian Ure, third. Come on, Ogden, let's go! many disappointed "Does Ogden play B. Y. college tonight?" was the question asked over the high school phone a few hundred times Monday. At least a few people must have read The Standard-Examiner last week, wherein a game between Ogden and the junior college champions was partially promised. hopkins home Supt. W. K. Hopkins returned to Ogden Monday afternoon after a trip across the continent and 'way down south to New Orleans, visit­ing the schools of many of the largest cities. He reports a most enjoyable and profitable trip. He says school superintendents every­where were extremely cordial, kind and courteous to Mr. Child and himself, and spared no pains in showing them the good features of their schools. He says there is a lot of enthu­siasm in Chicago and elsewhere concerning the Hearst Rifle tour­ney, and that all eyes are looking toward Ogden to see what she wiiJ do this year. He says, also, there is little doubt but that Ogden will receive an in­vitation to the national basketball tournament in Chicago, providing we can win the intermountain championship in Boulder next week. invited to dinner The basketball teams and Coach Kapple received an invitation to­day from the Kiwanis club directors to have lunch with them on Thurs­day of this week. Each director takes a boy under his wing as his personal guest for the day. Surely Ogden citizens appreciate the fine work the boys have done and are doing. Says President Mills of Kiwanis: "That's the best bunch of players Ogden has put out in many years, We are proud of our boys." Thirty-five students failed to qualify in R. O. C. during Feb­ruary. The passing mark in this department is 80 per cent. Quite a number of these were ill during the month. The number of cases of tardiness has been cut in two since the cam­paign began some four weelis ago. Quite a number of teachers have no tardiness at all now. There are only two classes of people who never make mistakes -they are the dead and the un­born. weak links. In great chain factories, power machines are specially built to test chains-to make them fail, to show their weakness, to reveal the mistakes of workmanship. Let us thank God when a mistake shows us the weak link in the chain of our living. It is a new revelation of how to live. It means the rich red blood of a new inspiration. one on them.

The boy who is swerved from a course he knows is right, through fear of ridicule, taunts, sneers, or sarcasm of those around him, ia not a real boy. He is only a puppet pulled by the strings of manipula­tion in the hands of others. He is a figure in a Punch and Judy show -without its entertaining quality. We need not add that this is true also of the boy-grown-up-the man. consecrated lives. "Being good, merely good in a pale, anemic temperamental way is not enough. If the world is not bet­ter daily because we have lived, if the little circle of those around us is not brightened, strengthened, heartened, helped, some way made happier by our direct effort in our conscious living, we are not true to purpose or possibilities. We can­not all be Lincolns and save a na­tion, but we can put the spirit of Lincoln into every trifle of our living-his simplicity, courage, kindness, love, consecration, justice. The greatest good to the world is not the magnificient power of a few great men manifesting it on a colossal scale, but these same qual­ities, in a smaller, humbler way, manifested in millions of simple unknown lives throughout the world."-William George Jordan. 3-4-25 Ogden High School Notes Beatrice Bletcher still leads in , - the Classicalia queen contest, j Helen Storey is second and Marian Ure is third.

In answer to a telegram re- i ceived Tuesday afternoon from Boulder, Colorado, Principal Mer­rill wired acceptance to invita­tion to participate in the inter­mountain basketball tournament next week. SHALL we go to chicago? AVhether we go to Chicago, we think, depends on the showing we make at Boulder noxt week. If we can win this tournament, there is little doubt but that we shall go to Chicago. If we do not . win this tournament then it ap- pears it would be unwise to think of going to Chicago. The games at Boulder next week, Ave understand, are to be played during the afternoons, and interesting convention meetings are scheduled for the evenings. Chicago's great coach, "the grand old man" A. A. Stagg, is to be one of the speakers. It is the intention of the Uni­versity of Colorado people to . make this tournament a-id con- , vention an educational, worth­while affair. A goodly number of , the western states will bu repre­sented. a big affair. . The "round-robin" to be played , on Thursday and Friday nights in the Weber gymnasium and in the Deseret gymnasium on Saturday j evening promises to be one of , the most interesting affairs ever staged in Ogden. The four teams , entering are most excellent play- . ers, evenly matched, and no one can predict in advanco which team will win in any bout. Nat­urally both East and West will come with a great big desire to even up a little with Ogden by L defeating her, and the Ogden boys are just as determined to main- tain their wonderful record. We shall expect capacity crowds at these great games. on exhibition.

The costuming element of the Classicalia is to be a bigger fea- ture than ever this year. An ef­fort is being made to have every­body in costume. The domestic art and art departments are co­operating in the matter and sug­gesting suitable costumes. Many pictures of appropriate costumes were posted in the hal:3 today. Students are encouraged also to make their own costume at a minimum expense.
