Show I Another way of explaining it j lit that wo had a piece of hard; I luck on i Ither occasion. At any rate we gave both teams ! omo mighty keen competition j and no morn exciting games have lever been played on either ield. j I The Ogden team has a won- !j Iderfui fighting spirit and is a credit to tho school. We are mighty proud of the boys. Says James Moss, president U. A. A., "You have a wonderful team. I never saw a better fighting spirit than your boys exhibited." Thr side lines gave the team rood support throughout the game. The yelling is good but it can he iniproved. It should, for instance, Include more variety ana better taste. The L. D. S. had jiome very clever, peppy songs j which they sung well. Ogden would do well to introduce some- j thing of this sort. Ogden has one j yell at least that is in bad taste, i It isn't necessarily wicked or so j very naughty, but it is just "bad tiusto" and doesn't help the school , any. The teachers have repeat- j (fdly advised against it, and we hope that it will be eliminated. i ALTOS PREFERRED Appearances Beem to indicate that Ogden High patrons are j j!tt.v well lo do. Each day there art about 40 automobiles parked at the school. On Friday reserva- (ions were made on the Bamberger i- for 200, as it was thought hut at least that many would i o down that way. Instead we .sold but 50 tickets. Tomorrow is election day in the nation, but being just a little in' i advance of the times, O. H. S. stu- ! dents are voting today, but we i do not say, "As goes Ogden High . o goes the nation." ZONA GALE'S TRIBUTE It Is a proud thing to be the mother of a man; it must be a. proud thing to be mother of men. If a woman is wonderful who adopts and develops one child, she must be wonderful when she has charge of the develop- ' mcnt of 20 or 40 for the greater , 1 part of the day it a woman can rule her own Ispirit in caring for a family of three or five, she is a rare and j fine being who can rule her own j I spirit in directing the develop-': lnent of a room full all day i ! In short, the modern school ! teacher, if she lives up to ner work, must be a wonderful wo- nian. a rare and fine being, fulfilling u proud task. It is encouraging to the teachers of Ogden to know that their Work is appreciated by the patrons and that they are very generally held in high esteem. MILITARY DEPARTMENT 1.

THE STELLAS. ! - COLLIERS SCHOOL PROGRAM Colliers have submitted a school program that meets the general approval of school men and the public. It Is condensed from opinions submitted by superintendents. school board members, college presidents, educational journals, business men from all parts of the country. It contains ten points as follows: The right school board,. Unit organization, the superintendent in charge. A sound budget. Platoon school buildings and j ample school grounds. ! 5. A salary schedule that will I provide good teachers, i 6. Studies adapted to present- day needs. I 7. Abolition of the lock step. Project work, to teach cooperation. Adequate physical training. 10. Junior high schools, with a chance for each child to succeed. Beginning tomorrow, and the succeeding nine days we shall publish daily the ten paragraphs explaining this program. It will be noticed that the program comprehends the principles that maintain very largely in Ogden's present school system. the intelligence test The intelligence test such as given by Edison, Terman and psychologists generally, comes in for some good-natured criticism by! Uncle Henry (George Creel) in the October 25 number of Colliers magazine. Aunt Heppy, the competent cook of Uncle Henry, is made to lose her job because j she fails ift her intelligence test. The test follows: How many corn flakes . would it take to go round the ; world if placed end to end- On a calm day; , On a windy day. , In double entry, which is preferable? Give three reasons, left to right, no more than four ! being the same. , Pronounce umph back- Wards without rising on the balls of the feet or touching the doorpost., tibia, fibula or ooula. Is free verse high at the price? Give three examples, starting with Z. State the influence of inls- sion furniture upon religious thought? In a word? In two words? Reverse the order. 1 6. What is taught by the home life of the caterpillar? Is the caterpillar, in your opinion, more influenced by heredity or envi- ronment, other things being 5 equal or nearly so. What part Is played by cultural lacks and bad associates? Concerning the result of the test, he continues: "Would you believe it, 'Lonzo, ( there wasn't a single question she could answer. Same way respect- in' deduction, reduction, ratiocination, and even in observation, J; she was a flop. She couldn't tell the number of bricks in a pave- ment she walked over every day for ten years, and despite the times we'd had prunes for break- ( fast, she'd never counted the , wrinkles in one or noted wheth- , er they ran north or south or diagonally, as the case may be, if at i all. She had no idea of the number of feathers on a canary, j an' was equally at a loss to tell whether a dog turns to the right j or left before it li'es Spwn J The Illinois Watch company of Springfield, Illinois, is offering again this year a fine "Yolk Medallion of Lincoln" to the student who writes the best 'essay on Lincoln. The medallion to be sent as last year to J. S. Lewis Jewelry Co. Information on the subject will be given out by English teachers. A number of parents visited the school Monday. There were also three new registrations. Thair Rich, class of '22, visited the high school Monday. He has just returned from a two years' sojourn in Germany and is making preparations to entr "the University of Utah. A number of parents have already asked that teachers assist in keeping down graduating expenses of seniors. Tho teachers have expressed a desire to do this. In this matter as all others it is foolish for one to purchase what he cannot afford. watching Election. A genuine interest has been developed in the high school in the election of today. The history classes are having campaigns, debates, straw - votes and all sorts of things to impart information on political parties, principles, etc. Even the faculty had a straw i vote Monday night which evi- . denced that Coolidge leads, LaFollette follow, an(Davis is third choice. For governor, the teaeners are equally divided between Mabey and Dern. It is evident ihat the j ( ! teachers will do considerable ' scratching. It just happened in one of the classes that a LaFollelte booster 1 happened to be asked to explain the voting process. He had the ' ballots in hand and said to the class: ! "The emblem of the Republican party is the beehive. 11' you wish to vote the Republican ticket put J your cross under the beehive-but don't blame me if you get stung. "If you wish to vote the Democratic ticket put your c.oss under the rooster-he's crowii g-but he ! hasn't anything to crov_about. If you wish to vote for LaFollette as I suppose you do, juot put your cross under the Libety Bell- " let's keep it ringing. ! GAME FRIDAY. It has been suggested that there ! be no assembly this week and that school close at 2 o'clock Friday to give students who wish " to attend the game at Kaysville an opportunity to go. x A chemistry club is one of the latest additions to the school. Mrs. Coolidge, dean of girls, was meeting with the girls this afternoon to consider plans for : girls' meeting's during the year. j The attendance at drill- this ! morning reached high water mark again-only 12 students being ab- , sent. It is presumed that most of these are ill-unable to attend, j "CLARENCE."

Forbes Campbell ; ; GET THE FACTS. Most of what one hears is hearsay. It may be true or false. If l you want to. be sure of getting ! ahead in life, you must make it j i ! your business to get the f acts. J The following story was told in i j an English class: j "A foolish young man was! walking along a country road j. when he met a farmer in a wagon. He jumped up into the seat beside the farmer and said, "Hayseed, ,I"m going to tide with j you to Louisville." j The farmer made no reply. ' J- They rode in silence for a good ! ( 10 miles when the young fellow j ( turned to the farmer with, "I 11 say, Old Top, how much farther IJ is it to Louisville?" The farmer coolly replied, "If ! ( you keep on in the direction you ; i are going it's about 25,000 miles, i but if you want to get off and j walk back the othei .way, it's j ( j about 16 miles." COLLIER'S SCHOOL PROGRAM. ! j The right school board,: A small, energetic, non-partisan i board, elected at large is half j tihe battle for better schools- j men or women that are honest, , intelligent and active, used to i having others under them-and j holding others responsible for re- 1 suits-the best in the community, j Cities that have succeeded in j! having such a board forge ahead, i 1 Other cities, that have to work . against the barrier of a locally I j elected, politically manipulated, i Lunwieldv hoard are held back. j In country districts it is even j more important than in cnies that the board be elected by the entire county or community, and not by a single part of it. If Bill Smith is elected to represent Valley Center, he looks on'; tor Valley Center first, and tlio rest of the county afterward. Jttst as in the cities, Dr. Hess, from the First ward is watching all the time too, so that John Bloke from the Fifth ward doesn't put anything over on him. Detroit and other Michigan cities hve resorted to a double vote to eliminate politics from i school elections. With a board j of seven. Detroit elects two, then ! three members at a time, so j that no one election can deter- j mine the entire board The can- i didates are nominated by petition, j a large number of signatures be- j ing necessary to place the name j on the ballot. At tho primary I election, candidates failing to re- j ceive a specified number of votes : are eliminated; only those receiv-.': ing the necessary primary en- j dorsement go on the final ballot j for ultimate election. , Ogden High will probably arrange a football game with Granite on Armistice day to be played under the auspices of the American legion. Coach Kapple called the coach of Granite Tuesday. The latter thinks the game can be arranged and was to let us know definitely today. j The following report on the gen- j eral intelligence test given Sep- j tember 25 was compiled today and : reported as follows: ' No. in j Test.
