Show Ogden High School NOtes Today's Slogan: We owe it to ourselves to do the very best that we can. Thirty-five students received the highest grades-E's-in every subject during the first term of the second semester. Probably several hundred others did about as well as they could. Highest marks do not always indicate highest achievement, greatest effort, most serious purpose. Neither do they insure the great- . est success in the future. DEBATERS CHOSEN. The final tryout debates were held on Friday evening last and i the following boys were selected to represent the school in our contest with Box Elder and Davis: lewis Tverson, John O'Neill, Don Wakefield, Joe Sangberg, Ward Armstrong and Alyson Smith. Wiade Johnson, Arthur Woolley, W. N. Petterson and Mrs. R. W. Farnsworth, the judges of the debate Friday evening, complimented the boys very highly on their fund of information and on their excellent dehvery. The assembly on Friday last was rated as one of the best of the year. Miss Frances Marsh, class of 1915, gave two very interesting readings. The assembly will be held at 1:15 on Friday of this week. It is quite likely that Moroni Olsen ' will read for us at this meeting. GRADUATION LIST. T„e graduation committee is . very, busy this week checking up the records of more than 250 stu- ; dents who have applied for grad- 1 uation. ; The ratio of boys to girls in the , graduating class this year will be , about as 2 to 3. ' Students, teachers ar.u patrons of the high school are advised that . they should read the series of articles -- have been running in the World's Work for some time , past on the schools of America, . under the title "Planning the Upkeep," by Wm. McAndrew. Pro.. Wto. McAndrew has recently been elected superintendent of uicago schools. He has haa many years of experience, has traveled extensively, has studied deeply, and shows very clearly in his artxcies what the ideals of American education are and how these ideals are being realized in many of the schools of our country. ATHLETIC PROTESTS. Many students as well as townspeople have voiced their disapproval during the past few days of the decision of the state athletic board ; to send the Panguitch hoopsters to Chicago to enter the national meet. They claim that this is not Utah's best team, and the fact that they were repeatedly defeated at the intermountain tournament proves that t.they can hardly be expected to make a favorably showing at Chicago. Supt. W. Karl Hopkins has recently put in his office a number of books which he thinks teachers should read. He has adopted the rental charge system for these books and hopes thereby to make it possible to buy the best new educational books as they come from the press. One of these books, "The Humanizing of Knowledge," by Jas. Harvey Robinson, should be read by every teacher and e'very parent. Prof. Robinson contends as does Mr. Jones in Sunday's Standard Examiner, that th.t education of today doesn't exactly meet the nfeds of today. He says, "This is a dynamic world and we need a dynamic education." NEEDS OF LIFE. Mr. Robinson contends that a schooi graduate should go out with (1) a new intellectual mood, (2) a new tolerance of intelligent diversity of opinion, and (3) a new appreciation of the role of knowledge in human planning. A HIGH COMPLIMENT. A man of very wide experience : who has lived in Ogden the past I three years said this to one of our I instructors last week, "I am pretty ; familiar with American schools as : I have lived in many states and have studied them; during my stay in Ogden I have' observed your school pretty carefully and I have come to this conclusion: There isn't a more democratic school in the country; you have here students of %several races; you have students of almost every religious faith; you have students from wealthy homes and some from very poor homes. Yes, I have noticed no snobbishness, no intolerance, but only a genuine, wholesome attitude of equality and democracy. I think it most commendable as it is so thoroughly and wholly American." HONOR STUDENTS. The registrar, Miss Atkinson, reports the following students as having received E's in all subjects during the first term of the second semester: Viola Allen, Mary Alexander, Margaret Bell, Florence M. Brown, Erica Beine, Emma Beuhler, Sidney Badcon.
