Sparks, president emeritus of Pennsylvania Stale college, is making a tour of Amer¬ican colleges as regent general of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society j land to encourage more serious work of college students. He esti¬mates that there will soon be more than a million students in college. He asks "How long will the people stand the expense?'' Just so long," he says, "as they are satisfied of a sufficient return for their money. This the student should realize. He must pay the price by effort; by hard work in his studies." MINIATURE HOUSE. One of the interesting features of the electrical department of the high school is a 20-room I house, each room being six feet J square. The house is used for the j installation of every kind of houss wiring. The department has also benches and tables, each one of which is fitted up with bells, buzzers, buttons, switches, lights, etc., for the study of the various kinds of electric currents. One of the aphorisms—a para¬dox at that-—going the rounds of the press is this: "Life is too seri¬ous to be. taken too seriously." What do you think of it? Some more good sportsmanship! Three boys of the high school thoughtlessly broke some hat hooks in the hallwa: the other night. Their attention being called to the impropriety of it they fined themselves $2 apiece, which they promptly paid into the treasury of the board of education. Lester Hinchcliff is thinking seriously of putting on "Martha" in an abridged form as a choral, before school closes. GOOD NEWS! Word has just reached Ogden that J. Warren Leigh, instructor in sociology and economics at Ogden High school, 1921-22-23, has just wtin a $1,000 scholarship in Northwestern university.

W. Karl Hopkins will act as toast- master, and several of the guests will respond to toasts. PAY TO DO WORK. In speaking heretofore of the good features of the Classicalia, there is one very important fea¬ture that has not been mentioned. The opportunity and advantage of rendering service. The Classicalia I involves a great deal o? work. Forty teachers and perhaps 73 pupils give graciously a good many hours of the hardest kind of work to this function. During the night when the carnival is held, q,ll these people pay their entrance fee the same as every¬one else; then instead of enjoying tie function they go to their booths, side shows, or other places of assignment and work for the welfare of others and the success of the party. It affords one of the best examples possible of loyal, unselfish service. Much praise is due them. |
