Romney, director of ath­letics, Utah Agricultural college, announced today the high school students will be admitted to the A. C.-Colorado School of Mines game Saturday on presentation of student body ticket and 50 cents. The R. O. T. C. band will be on hand to enliven the game on Friday between Logan and Ogden. It ! will be in evidence again on Saturday at the great college game between the Agricultural college and the Colorado School of Mines. At 1 o'clock on Saturday the band will "pep" things up in the busi­ness district. Three additional students have a chance of taking part in league games. Eligibility cards were y- quisitioned yesterday for Talmadge Boyd, Edward Dowling, William Galbraith. NEW CLUB FORMED. Recently Mrs. Newcomb's sev­enth period English class organ­ised a club called "The Diaet." The origin of the name is unique. It comes from the German diet- meaning legislative assembly; from the Latin dies-an organization meeting on specified days for the formal presentation of arguments; and, lastly, from diaet-the name of an Athenian organization that sponsored debate, oratory and oth­er forms of exposition. As the name implies, the purpose of "The Diaet" is to study carefully the principles of debate, argumentation and oratory. Several interesting debates are scheduled for future meetings. MOST STUDENTS WASTE A VAST AMOUNT OF TIME. Have you ever watched the or­dinary student of the lower grades or high school prepare lessons for the next day? As a general rule he sits down at the table, grum­bles about teachers and school life in general, slowly opens a book and unwillingly reads a page or two. Then he discovers that his penc.l needs sharpening or that he needs another book, or he has forgot­ten the assignment. As a result lessons are forgotten for at least 10 minutes. (I know, because Fvu gone through the same routine i many times myself). As a gen- I era rule we spend six "hours n j school, about an hour and a haif at meals, three hours preparing ! lessons or doing work about the hOme; nine hours sleeping, "and an hour for practicing on some in­strument or for some definite amusement. But this only amounts to 18 hours. What happens to those other six hours? In spite o the many lectures we hear on the golden value of time almost all of us have- five hours every day, at a. low estimate, which we cannot account for, and, yet, in spite of this, a common excuse in school is "I didn't have time."-By Edith Halverson. OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT. It seems to be the general cus­tom this year for everyone to speaiv well of the high school. Teachers, pupils, patrons, visitors' vie with each other in speaking compliment tarily of the work of the school. All seem to discover good features before unnoticed a number of things seem to have contributed to this most desirable result-only one of which we shall mention. The community at large seems to have adopted a more optimistic, a more sympathetic, a more helpful atti­tude. Whatever cause or causes might have brought about this de­sirable situation the attitude is commendable. Everybody works' best under encouragement, so we say let the attitude receive eve-y encouragement. Knocking never helps, but boosting always con­tributes to growth and progress. CITY ALSO GAINING. The spirit of cheer, of hopeful­ness, of faith concerning our school does not characterize the school alone, it pertains to the community at large'. Ogden is growing, progressing; she is put­ting off her swaddling clothes. Peo­ple have recently gotten together and projected a wonderful new ho­tel. This has contributed to a larger and moe stable faith in the destiny of the city. We are com­ing to realize that Ogden is most advantageously situated and that she is destined to become a great metropolis. We welcome this bright new day. A little tiling like the patting on of a college football game is not without significance. It reminds one that educationally we have lain dormant; we are just awak­ening to the fact that we have missed something. We have miss­ed the enthusiasm, the inspira­tion, the faith that young blood injects into a community. We should have felt this rejuvenation! long ago, had vision and foresight, secured the establishment, for in­stance, of the Agricultuarl college at Ogden. It should have been located here. FOR LARGER COLLEGE. We do well however, to recog­nize our lethargy even though late and make what amends we can. We shall come to see soon what an institution of higher learning, even though a denominational school, such as Weber college can con­tribute to a community. It wiu give us a social, intellectual up- light that will make us just a lit­tle happier, just a little prouder if our city. Many American cities have been blessed by denomina­tional colleges, so why not Ogden? We believe that the establishment of Weber college is another event that augurs well for the growth and development of this city. The high school will stage a snake dance and rally down town tonight for the big game between Logan and Ogden tomorrow after­noon. Lpgan beat us by an unspeak­able score last year, and Ogden is determined to give them back some of their own v medicine this year. This is the opening game, 1 but it will also be one of the j hardest ones. The junior high students will c all be in attendance at the game j tomorrow. They are to' be our f future warriors and hence are j eager to be initiated into the j mysteries of the. game. The second football team un- der Capt. Talmadge Boyd, plays 6 the Brigham City second team at j Brigham City this afternoon. At Gamma Kappa meeting Wednesday afternoon Miss Frieda Kreines gave a reading and Miss Edith Merrell, instructor in French, gave an interesting talk ; on France. After the program, ' light refreshments were served. BOOKKEEPING IN A NUT SHELL Under the above caption, Instructor Abplanap has fewer than ' a dozen short statements cover- j ing "debits' 'and "credits." Under "debits" his first statement reads: c "If you receive cash, debit cash." The last statement says: "If nothing is received, debit the person with whom the busi- ness is transacted." Similarly, the last statement un- ; der "credit" reads: "If nothing is given, credit the j1 person with whom the business j '- is transacted." It has been suggested that all j j students should make use of these j ; last two principles-such tran- j sactions are so frequent in ordi- j nary life. Mr. Abplanalp took an examina­tion Wednesday with the state 1 board of education, which, if sue- ' cessfully passed, will entitle him i to a life high school diploma. Tomorrow closes the first month of school; it marks also the time for the first pay day for teach­ers; the latter await it with much interest. LOOKING AHEAD There seems always to be something for people to look ahead to; students are looking ahead to the first holiday, which will occur the latter part of Oc­tober when the teachers will at­tend the state teachers' conven­tion. One far-seeing student remark­ed the other day: "Gee, just I three months from today will be Christmas eve." The next day the same student said: "Geemiminy; just think, three months from today is Christmas!" Miss Beck of the oral expression department is looking ahead to the first week in December when she purposes putting on the school play, providing the the- atre can be obtained. Some people are looking ahead to the next meal, while students generally are centering their for­ward-looking thoughts on the Logan-Ogden game tomorrow after­noon. Is "Athletic Heart" a myth? The above question is treated in the September number of Sci­ence-News Letter which seems in- clined to believe the question can be answered affirmatively. It j bases its conclusion on the re- r suits of a very interesting experi- ment recently conducted by the staff of the Peter Brent Brigham hospital on American and Canadian youths who took part in the, i 2 5-mile American marathon. Many of these, it says, had been run- ning from five to 15 or more 1 years. "It was found," says the j- report, "that the heart size of the I- men was normal, and the lung ; capacity likewise was apparently unaffected." f Some one Avill probably prove to us soon that there are no such r things as."broken hearts." j, "If they do, how then," asks r a student, "shall Ave be able to account for our superior instruc­tors?" We have been told that a college education and a heart twice broken makes a d d good school teacher, and that's how we thought we had been i getting 'em. EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE A number of prominent people j have recently aired their views on ! the total results gained from the j world war. They make interest- j ing reading. We quote a few: "The end of autocracy," General Pershing. "The inspiration of ideals and valor," Sir Philip Gibbs. "The defeat of atheism," Hilaire Belloc. "Nothing at all,", the Kaiser. (Note: The Kaiser should debit the parties Avith whom the busi­ness was transacted. ) "Dictatorship and militarism," Crown Prince Wilhelm. "The doom of the balance of power theory," Newton Baker. "Self-respect among plain peo­ple," William Allen White. "The exposure of war as in­glorious," Maximilian Harden. While the above answers are good, it remains of course for the school teacher to give the most complete and satisfactory answer. Said Pres. Charles W. Eliot: "The world war destroyed the huge Russian, German, Austrian au­tocracies, revived several freer nations which those autocracies had crushed or cut vnto pieces, strengthened the three great poav- ers in whidh democratic principles have made good progress, and brought them nearer to effective union for promoting justice, liber­ty and peace throughout the! world." i THE MAKING OF ETCHINGS Etching is a new subject intro- ! duced in the Ogden High school art department this year, by In­structor LeConte Stewart. Etching is a process of engraA- ing in which the lines forming th picture are scratched with a j needle on a copper plate covered Avith wax grounding. The cop- per exposed by the scratching of the needle is subjected to the biting of nitric, acid. .When the acid has bitten deep enough, which depends upon the light and dark wanted in the etching, the grounding is removed. This leaves tm the plate the picture bitten -y the acid and it is now ready "o be printed. The printing of in etching is a process in itself, and an art that takes both skill jind study. This part of etching iias been left to Mr. Stewart as '.he art department has not the proper equipment for printing the etchings. Superintendent Hopkins shows great interest in the de­velopment of this phase of art in the Ogden High school and is looking into the master of an etching press, that the students may learn how to print their plates s arell as -draw and bite them. Etching is a very old art, hav­ing been, practiced by such mas­ters as Durer and Rembrandt. As an art it ranks among the- best t work produced in the fine and j graphic arts: MARIAN WALLACE.
