Show would not even know it was sweet and not knowing, we could not ap- , ini. it. So it is in life every it tor has its sweet and though you may not see it now, as you Krnw older you cannot help but see it-Vox! lu-ar, mean it, even school has Its bitter side. With an education-the kind you obtain in school-you are able to see ilif beautiful in art, literature, science and music, etc., things thai arc more beautiful than any dress or bat, because they are products of the soul. There is an education in clerking but experience is the bitter teacher-twice as hard to understand and co-operate with as any teacher in our public schools. Your lessons arc not taught you there In the clean and wholesome way you are accustomed to being taught, but through watching the mistakes of others along with your own, an education of this nature you can plainly see is inadequate. A good schooling not only enables you to see the beautiful in life but is also very practical, for having Intellectual training a person can "t;ickle the world" unafraid. He can secure most any kind of a position readily and get twice the pay of even an experienced clerk. As to that feeling of independence-it is refreshing but what wguld your feeling be if in later years you were to find your loved ones dependent on you for their dally bread and you were handicapped, because, on account off lack of education you could not! earn enough to supply their meager F want i'' if a lime of such depend- ency should ever come do not havejr to look back with regret because ' did jiot the word of one- .who wishes you well.

Honorable Talmadge Boyd, and inpeat crowds did the long suffer-" tag buy students' tickets, which for T many moons had been a thing for- ! gotten. So great were the swarms ! of enthusiastic youth that did ! Clamor around the door of the ' much beloved pedagogue, J. W. McMurrin (may he rest in peace), that before the end of the week, Sept. 22-27, each of the student kr tH had licen dusted and renovated .mil sold to the crowds of peppy youths. And in this year of our t.onl so mighty was the school plrlt, through the success of th; itUdent association, that the year'a activities did come down in history na the greatest ever experienced In the annals of the Senior high school of Ogden, Utah.

It promises to jba thriller. A football rally will j be held on Friday. The faculty indulged in another j I delightful canyon party on Friday j 1 last. The women members enter-, talned the new women teachers at j the Leonard Davidson home from 2 until 5 o'clock and at 6 o'clockj a dinner was served to all the fac- j ulty including the male teachers and their wives. Assistant Superintendent Ida Fltzsimmons was an honored guest of the occasion. Altogether it was one of the most d2- j lightful functions the teachers have ! ever held. Miss Grace Atkinson as chairman of the "eats" committee- did herself proud. She was most ably assisted by Misses Evelyn Dobbs, Emma Chesney, Francis Dillon, Dora Smith and Helen Cortez. We may say that all of these are "eligible" as promising "cooks." ; Mrs. Edith Kohler as chairman of j games and entertainment commit- i tee, was a big success. All the! teachers evidenced that they pan play and eat--quite as well as they can teach, which is saying a great j deal for our efficient faculty. I EAGER FOR LANGUAGES. Beginning French and Spanish j i classes are so large that the superintendent has been asked to fur- J i nish additional teaching help in j these subjects. " i A number of new students were j registered at school this morning, j - Teachers and students were J much pleased with the visit and , the inspirational talks of former students Dan Rowland and Harold Kay on Friday. ' R. O. T. C. SPONSORS. R. O. T. C. officers are very milch interested in the election of sponsors, which is to take place . very soon. There are now more than 450 boys enrolled in the R. O. T. C. and the officers report a fine spirit and morale among the boys. They predict the most successful year the unit has ever had. The wonderful enthusiasm developed last week in the selling of student body tickets will be augmented and continued this week. It is believed that the school will have at the game Friday the largest number of bonafide members of the association that the school has ever had. GROUP TESTS. The group test that was given to every student in the school on Friday proved the most interesting and profitable ever given. No doubt the questions answered (or tried) have been the subject of conversation in every home where a high school is found since Friday. In the first place, the test is "standard", for example, one that every high school student is qualified to take, about matters of most general concern. In the second place, it is a test j in which every student is given an absolutely fa.ir show, as every paper is graded on the answers given, and teachers' opinions, ideas predisposition, cannot possibly en-i ter. In other words, whether the j p'aper is graded by teacher A or i teacher Z, the result is absolutely the same. The securing: of such justice in school'grading is regard-j ed as one of the greatest educa-; tional achievements of modern times. In the third place, the test is in- i tensely interesting to students and is taken without worry, harrow- j ing or strain, and is highly edu- i cative, as it gives each student a: check on his own mental process-j es and gives him an opportunity to j know just where he is strong and! Wherein he needs encouraging. J Many students have asked that; similar tests be given frequently, so they might do as the colored i boy said: "Check up on themselves." j In making a report the other day, a student brought to the class j a quotation concerning the object: of education that is well worth repeating. It sat-id: "Above all let us dread ignorance and intolerance, crooked thinking, some prejudices, jumping at conclusions a?id hunting the feelings of others." J immense task. Which reminds us that teaching is not only a tremendously big job, but one that requires tact, skill, judgment and above all a lot of j good common sense. We heard the other day of a teacher who offere 10 to any student who would count a million. One student, no wiser than the teacher, accoffiplish- ed the task but at what a price! It cost, effort, strain, time. It took her two solid hours a day for four j months-250; hours of concentrated hours to accomplish a task that j I was absolutely valueless. Talk about wasted time! Teaching isn't j wasting time. ! Apropos this subject we add this ! short composition handed in by a j pupil on Friday. WASTED TIME. I Most people waste a vast amount of time. If Mary is going to a ! party, she spends half an hour in I wondering what dress to wear. This I time, to a girl, does not seem wasted, but to anyone else it is en- tirely unnecessary. More time, I 9 believe, is wasted in waiting for I street cars and for the use of the 1 telephone than Tor anything else. But this, alas, cannot be helped, I for who can summon a street car I at will, or pick up the telephone and find that no one is on the line, I or hear the inevitable "Line is I busy." The few minutes wasted at this and that would be a pleasant gift to some poor person, who his I time for nothing but work, with a little sleeping and eating attached 1 to it. Nothing is more valuable j than time, yet few people can spend it wisely. The man who has mas- tered this problem is indeed blessed. 1974 Sept 30 Tues Ogden High School Notes In education and in life, let us "above all dread ignorance and intolerance, sour prejudices, jumping at conclusions, and hurting the feelings of others." At faculty meeting Monday night a unanimous vote of thanks and appreciation was tendered Leonard Davidson for the use of his canyon home on Saturday afternoon and evening for the teachers' party.
