Show Wed May 14 '24 Ogden High School Notes Thought for today: "Life is not so short but that there is always time for courting."-Emerson. There are no finer words in the English language than these -"gentleman," "lady." These have .come to stand for those wonderful social graces that ingratiate one into the good-will and good wishes of another. In the representative democracy that we are establishing in the high school, one can determine his place and his value, whether as student or teacher by the acid test: "Is he a gentleman? Is She ladylike in all her actions?" We are all salesman, whatever other commodity we are offering, never let it be forgotten that we are always selling ourselves. If we have the kind and loving heart, the tender smile, the happy greeting for comrades and co-workers we are already sold, and at a good price. This is one of the great reasons why people should keep physically fit. Robust health and good cheer invariably go together. We radiate happiness in much the same way as the flower gives off its aroma. PASSES CRISIS. Jerome Whitton wbo has been seriously ill at the hospital during the past week following a very serious operation for .appendicitis, is reported as improving. A goodly number of teachers witnessed "The Fool," presented at the Orpheum on Monday night. One of the teachers remarked today: "You can say what you like but the gallery is the school teacher's heaven." Or did he say "haven?"

"He who advocates adequate teachers' salaries on the basis of pity for the teacher indulges in I muddy thinking. It is because the teacher's work eventuates in an in- j dispensable product-education-- ( that he is paid. It is the welfare i of the nation, not that of the I teacher, that is fundamental lv at i issue in all discussions of f ' eh- ers' salaries."-Edward L. Thorndike. "The hope of tomorrow lies in the development of the instruments J of today. . . . The only hope for -peace lies in the perfection of the tips of war."-Calvin Coolidge. CLASSES ON TOURS.

A part of education is to disillusion students . respecting that false idea that education will enable them to get. through life without responsibility and labor. It takes work to get an education, work to maintain it, and work to accomplish much with it after it is secured. LETTER OF PRAISE. The following communication was received Tuesday: Cadet Capt.

Programs were received Tuesday of graduation recital of Laurene Shields, reader; Irvine Shields, soprano, and Hattichell Shields, 'cellist at Columbia College of Expression, Chicago. These are former high school students. Thirty-two people participated in the first annual banquet of the Forum club in the Spanish room of the Reed hotel on Monday evening. These were grouped as! guests, advisors, alumni, forum members, waiting list and student body. It was a most delightful function. Apropos last night's lecture in Central Junior the following de- scription is of interest: Bryce Canyon in the Moonlight. A moonlight night is gorgeous 1 anywhere, but in Rtyce canyon, such a night, is perfect? Bryce, love- f !y in the glare of the stai, which I is usually so quick to reveal all life in its naked ugliness, is, with I the moon and star light stream- 1 1 ing over its rocks, carved and worn j with the ages, infinitely beautiful,, j j A$ the moonlight and shadows come and soften the outline of every corner and jutting rock, Bryce seems truly to te an amphitheater filled with old Moorish castles and towers, intricately carved by some Heaven inspired hand. The huge rocks so delicately variega,ted in color in the daylight, are bathed in a soft, mellow light, which here and there, leaves ' long, weird shadows. The masses of lofty pine crees also flecked and dappled in moonlight, .serve to make a fitting surrounding - for this architecture. Moreover, as a. person gazes, entranced, at this dazzling picture, he .may weave tales, exquisitely fancifulj about the imaginary occupants of this ancient city. In consequence Bryce, when seen by moonlight is, I believe, in one of its most lovely and delightful moods, for it like people has moods, which change somewhat with every hour of the day. To me, Bryce is not merely a "canyon"-it one of nature's sacred works of art! ILLA WILLIS. The Modern Painter Uses Ready Mixed Paint |
