Show do not go to Sunday school. He says they cannot be reached, through the homes because 10,-000,000 homes in Arncrica "are un-churched. Continuing-, he says, "No taxes for instruction of any creed" is a slogan that swept over America and became imbedded in the constitutions of practically every state. But in drivin? out creeds America drove all direct, moral, ethical and religious instruction out of the public school system." SOME OTHER QUESTIONS. We wonder if it isn't about time for people to change the question and ask, "What's Wrong j With Our Parents?" j Secondly, isn'r: it about time to j cease laying everything that is wrong to the public schools? Granted that our chiidren are not all angels, we are satisfied that history proves that every generation is getting just a little i stronger and better. Granted that there is much juvenile delinquency ptaristics show j that it is, for the'most part, delinquency of those who have not been under the influence of the i public school rarely above the fourth grade. Besides, Mr. Shepard, it isn't true "that all direct, moral, ethical, religious insti. ietrn has been ' driven out of the public school system. Sept 22-24 Ogden High School Notes The campaign for the selling of j student body tickets will be on in j full forcethis week. The girls arej ; challenging the boys in the school ! at large in a contest for the pur- jj I chase of tickets as they are doing J 1 also in each class organization. As there are a few more girls than ! boys they seem to have a slight ' advantage, but this is offset by 3 the fact that the boys have more and easier ways of getting the necessary money. The campaign will be vigorous 1 and we have every assurance that 1 a larger number of students will ? join the association than ever be- 3 fore. Most schools have a mandatory student body fee; not so in Ogden; joining the student body associa- 3 tion is optionaland therefore a s test of interest and loyalty. 3 All school activities are directed by the student body association which does a five thousand dollar business each year in games, parties, editing school papers, year book, etc. Student officers are particularly ' desirous of selling tickets to every student before the first regular game, October 3, so that the year's activities may be propitiously launched. ADVICE TO STUDENTS. Superintendent Hopkins and Captain Dockler gave sufficient advice at the assembly on Friday to make O. H. S. the best school in the world if the students would but follow it. They made a very earnest appeal for each student to do his very best in every .undertaking. Captain" Dockler emphasized the idea that it is attention to the little things that counts; that honest self-pride is wholesome and develops one's own personality and the morale of the group. Superintendent Hopkins pleaded also for development of individuality and character as goals in life. He mentioned optimism and courage-a willingness to try and to dare as elements that contribute to achievement and success. Altogether it was a very worthwhile assembly-one that no student could afford to miss. SCENE OF BEAUTY. The faculty party at Artesian 1 park and the Wright camp in the canyon Friday afternoon was a big success. The teachers agree that ; the precipitous cliffs rising some three' tlitousand feet on either side of the Wright lawn, every square ' foot seeming to vie. with every . other square foot In its reflection of color, produces at once the most variegated and most beautiful sc-ne , that mortal eye ever gazed upon. "Does this view ever get commonplace living here a§ you do several months at a time?" was asked of ' Gus Wright. "No," says he, "the . scene changes, every moment, and . the longer I live here, the more ,1 . see it, the more appealing is its . beauty." j Everyone living in Ogden owes - it to himself to go up to Wright's place, to stand in the center of I the lawn at sunset and drink in - the beauty of that enchanting i panorama. Neither Bryce nor l Zion's nor any place on earth can j surpass it in grandeur nor beauty 1 ; of color, and tnis work has the ad ! vantage of that which .man has ad- J ded-beautiful cottages, lawns . nd 1 L shrubs, walks, driveways, flowers as a setting for the picture, evi-:1 dencing the fact that civilization has crept in to appreciate and enjoy. I About 75 seniors enjoyed the hike up Waterfall canyon Friday evening. They were chaperoned by Miss Evelyn Dobbs and Miss Grace Stone of the faculty. PRIDE NEEDED. Prof. B. Rowland Lewis hit the nail on the heasi,, we think, when he said the gredt trouble with English teaching is that we fail to develop in the student a pride in his native tongue, Isn't it true tha,t we cannot do anything well, unless we have a joy and a pride in the doing of it? "Slovenly" is the word that describes the westerner's use of his vernacular, and ! we shall ever be regarded uncouth" by our eastern friends un- til we banish "slovenliness" from ! our speech. IS THIS GOSSIP? j A teacher said of another teach- I er the other day, "He' impresses I me by the courtliness and grace of i his manners." A student said of an incoming student, "Isn't her speech beautiful; she seems to take a pride in ! the way she talks?" Says a new teacher, "Oh, I am ! so delighted with the school; ev- eryone seems so kind, so cheerful and so helpful; they are so good to me." Moral: Teachers-all; both students and instructors; we are learn-! ing from one another. We are doing the best of all teaching when we cause every one to feel or say, "He's so good to me." oo - A goodly number of high school students will register at Weber college tomorrow. Times are changing. More and more students are going to college every year. The colleges for .be most part are complaining of congestion, crowded conditions, just as loudly as the elementary school. ' j Students who enter small colleges may be assured that opportunities for development are just as great as in the large institutions. Ogden high will be represented in higher institutions in practically every state of the union this year-in colleges from Harvard in the east to Berkeley and Stanford j in the west, i changing courses, Stick-to-it-iveness is a virtue that students need to develop, It ( is usually about this time, second or third week of school that pupils decide that they want to quit . a subject and. take something erst. In nine cases out of ten the student who "trades" subjects after he ! has once registered is cheated. lie gets a subject that yields smaller i returns, he loses pluck and grit, he , shows the lack of "stick-to-it-ive- i ness." Many students seem to desire to ' go to school for part of the day , only. Those who are making good . and who will continue to make . good find the regular school day 5 from 8:30 until 3 .o'clock none too long. . Much enthusiasm is manifested at all the junior schools for R. O. . T. C. work. More than 200 stu- i dents are now enrolled in the Junior highs. These with the 300 registered at senior, make the largest I unit in the history of Ogden. Cap- . tain Dockler finds it necessary to j order more uniforms and addition- i al equipment. bryan's address. , Many students availed themselves . of the opportunity of hearing Hon. William J. Bryan on Monday. To hear a man who has been regaru- ed for more than forty years as one of the great orators of America is no small thing. When it is i considered also that this man, is of such distinction as to have been the candidate for president of the Ukiited States of a great political party through three great campaigns, and further that he has wielded a greater political influence than any other living statesman during more than two decades past, it is surely worth the time and effort of any student to come in contact with such a personality. Says John l. Mitchell: "One must have three I'3 to succeed in business-integrity, industry and iu- 1 terest." We think a student nedi?- j these I's too, if he is to succeed l in school. 1 keep the schools on high. i The following editorial from Col- i lier's is worthy of reproduction: "The biggest human business of all has resumed operations. "The schools reach more people, hit them harder, change them more fundamentally, and gets more lasting results than any other industry. That's because all the people have made this general education peculiarly their own affair, and on its own merits. "The schools still have battles and victories ahead. But today more and more of us see public educators as the counsel ground of the generations, the place of decision where the child and the community get together to their mutual aid, .and for the enormous advantage of the future." one foreigner who saw america. A year ago Hon. Edouard Herriot, premier of France, visited America, and really saw America. He caught the spurt of America-r a very unusual thing for a foreigner. Recently he wrote in a prominent magazine: "To define the United States as a land of big buildings and mass production is to take a very narrow point of view. For it is also the country of free living-it is the Land of Joy. Yes, the United States is a land of joy, of health- ful joy, of a free life beneath a . wide blue sky. It is a calumny to . represent it as the slave of mechanical civilization." 'council notes. Council members who are absent two consecutive meetings are automatically dropped. A committee consisting of Margaret Bell, Helen Vogel and Clarence Clark, has been appointed to investigate whether the junior high students shall be permitted to attend high school games at half E rice, upon presentation of student ody ticket.
