O. H. S. CADET CHEF SPEAKS Exchange Members Hear Interesting Talk By Capt. Dockler What the R. O. T. C. stands for (vas explained to members of the Exchange club.and their guests at the regular weekly luncheon held in the Weber club today, by Cap­tain C. J. Dockler in charge of the unit.at the Ogden high school. The program tor the day was in chtte of Bob Folland who pre­sided at the luncheon. An an­nouncement of the Ogden High school-West High fotball game was made and the members were urg­ed to attend. The game will be held at Lorin Farr park Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. EARLY MUTINIES. Captain Dockler began his talk by ' tracing the military -policy or the United States from the early days of the Colonies, before the Revolutionary war, when the pro­vincial congress of 1771 provided that the colonies might establish military units for tneir own pro­tection. During the Revolutionary war it was pointed out there was i lack of discipline and whole com­panies of Washington's troops de­serted. Morale was at low ebb and the soldiers were for the most part untrained, in 1787 the mili­tia was organized. There was not much of a standing army and in 1812, when the second war with England was fought, the United States lost nearly every land bat­tle. The success of the entire war was due to the sailors and the prowess of American naval craft. The invasion of Canada ended in defeat and the major engagements, aside from the battle of New Or­leans, were fought on the sea. Gradual improvement marked the United States' military policy throughout the Nineteenth century! until in 1916 there was a reor­ganization and the states' militia became known as the national guard. In 19 2 0 the national de­fense act was passed and a defi­nite plan evolved for keeping up 'the military strength of the na­tion- BASIS OF DISCIPLINE. "As military policy depends on discipline, it is necessary to have a system applicable to the Ameri­can temperament. It is discipline that will change a mob into a trained army. Racial phychology must be taken into consideration. In Germany discipline is founded on fear, in France it is based on respect. A British officer once characterized the American disci- aline as being instant, filling obed­ience to orders and determining what should be done in absence ot orders. In other words it takes into consideration the initiative of Americans along with the proper respect for authority." "The slogans 'Let's Go' and 'Show Me' feature the American temper- lament. The policy of the R. O. T. C. is to develop leadership. The defense of the nation is comprised of the regular army, the national guard and organized reserves. The i national defense act provides that ,in 1934 there shall be 464,000 na­tional guardsmen if congress sup- plies the funds for pay. The or­ganized reserve is composed of the reserve officers of the regular army and the reserve officers' training corps. This is divided Into the citizens' military training camp and the R. O. T. C. which is com- !posed of the junior and senior branches. The junior department is that organized in high schools and the sfenior is that for college men. High school R. O. T. C. members must be citizens 14 years of age or over. When the unit is established there must not be less than 100 students enrolled and the training must be compulsory for two years. THROUGH LEADERSHIP. "The principle of the R. O. T. C. is to teach the boy the correct attitude toward his country and to instill punctuality besides the phys­ical beneficits derived. They work through leadership-the first year they are privates, the second they may take the examination for non­commissioned officers and In their senior year they may be commis­sioned officers. Over 100,000 re­serve officers are commissioned ev­ery year. The physical training is of untold value. Many boys come to school awkward and gaw­ky but the military training teaches them to; make their head and feet work together. Only the fundamentals of army training are given them, such as work with the rifle and marching. In addi- tion there has been a marked im­provement in the studies of the boys. The four or five hours a week devoted to drill has kept up the standard of attendance to a high point. Only five or six boys were absent a day during last year, although 500 were enrolled in the course. "The boys are furnished with a neat uniform to wear and in col­lege R. O. T. C- are paid about 100 a year in their junior and senior years. Tardiness and absence be­ing reduced to a minimum, there is a higher type of morale among the students. The local unit is one of the best in the country and ' has met instant support from all." Oct 22 Ogden High School Notes A few more student body tick­ets were sold today. Holders of tickets will find before the year is over that a seudentbody ticket is the best investment a student can make. Holders of student body tickets will probably be able to see the O. H. S.-L. D. S. game for 25c, as the Salt Lake division has an arrangement for recognizing stu­dent body tickets for competing schools. Arrangements were made in the advisory groups today to get 100 per cent attendance at the big game of the year tomorrow. Addresses .were made at assem­blies today in the four junior high schools by students of sen­ior high on the Ogden-West game tomorrow. A phone message from Coach Mclntire of the West Side High to Coach Kapple advised that at least 300 rooters and the school band will be up in a special train tomorrow. He asked that a big section of the grandstand be reserved for them. CAREFUL OF MONEY Despite the fact that students are repeatedly warned against bringing money to school, or car­rying any large amount at any time, reports come to the officer frequently of money stolen "when a purse was left on the table, or desk, or in the lavatory for just a few minutes." Every honest person deplores the fact that in every consider­able group of people there is al­ways a thief or two, and money and valuables are never entirely safe. For this reason students should take the necessary precau­tion of keeping their money in the bank, or at least should not carry it about with them. A SPECIES OF DISHONESTY Last week a high school teach­er picked up two or three good- sized greenbacks on Washington avenue. He advertised the fact and was surprised to have an­swers from several people who said they had lost that amount at or near the place indicated. He firmly believes that most of the inquirers were misrepresenting facts. He is reasonably sure also that he found the real owner in a girl from the Blind school who gave an accurate description of the amount and the manner of losing it. EDUCATIONAL MISFITS In the current number of the Utah Educational Review, F. Y. Fox of the L. D. S. Business college deplores the fact that most people seem to think that it is very easy to become a stenog­rapher or typist, and that any- f body can do it. He tells the story of a poor girl who wasted months and con­siderable money in a business ! school before she discovered that it would ever be impossible for her to secure the proper mental and physical co-ordination that would enable her to become a typist. Mr. Fox insists that any intelli­gent teacher should have discov­ered the fact early and saved the girl piuch time and useless ex­pense. He asserts further that this case is only one of scores of such that have come under his personal observation. He main­tains that it should be more "generally realized that it re­quires a high order of ability to become a good stenographer. There has been too much in- i dulgence in the practice of dump- ing misfits into the' commercial department. Only the most alert ' boys and girls should be directed into training that leads to stenographic employment." SO SAY OTHERS The stenographic teachers of the high school assert that Mr. Fox makes an absolutely just criticism in the above as they have frequently made the same observation. Not only this, but the shop teachers at the high school say that the idea of sending students for shop work who do not prom­ise well in other departments is a serious mistake. Shop work, they say, is not for the misfits, but for the alert, the active, the bright, that they might learn to work with hands as well as heads. The second football team Is playing its return game with East High this afternoon in Salt Lake. May we do unto them as they did unto us when they were up here recently. A distinct honor has come to the Girls' Glee club of the high school in receiving an invitation to sing at the U. E. A. conven­tion on Friday evening. The girls are prepared to sing "Hush, My Honey, Hush," "May I Print a Kiss?" and "The Kerry Dance," and it is believed wall do them­selves honor and the school credit in this appearance.
