A good- i ly number of these have entered! college. A survey conducted Thurs- ; clay reveals that at least 17 of these j have been in college continuously j I and will graduate liext spring as follows: Harry Lyon, Annapolis; Kenneth j Malan, University of Utah; Ross i Jensen, University of Utah; Marie j Willis, University of Utah;, Made-j line Smith, Des Moines; Bernard Perrins, University of Utah; Ante- j lia Kershisnlk, University of Wyoming; Helen Mills, Mills college; i Katherine Adams, University of i California; Blanche Barton, Uni- j versity of Michigan; Mayme Chris- j man and Harriet Chrisman, Uni- j versity of Wyoming; Gerald Berry, j University of California; Francis Nicholas, Grant Ellis, University oc j Utah; Helen Weinberger and Thei- : ! ma Weinberger, University of Ida- 1 I ho. Besides these there are many others of the class who are in col- J lege, but for financial reasons have been obliged to remain out and work one or two years. TYPICAL SCHOOL, BOYS. "A given hundred boys," says the United States bureau of education, "start out to conquer the world. Here is where they land, educationally: 100 boys in Fifth grade dwindle to 83 in the Sixth. They shrink to 71 in the Seventh. These leave but 63 to complete grammar school or Eighth grade. Economic conditions are such that only 34 start the first year in high school. Twenty-four finish the year as sophomores, 18 qualify, then, as juniors, 13 secure the coveted high school diploma, seven of these 13 enter the first year of college. Five return and finish the second year's work. Three are able to qualify for the third y6ar, "and but one out of the original hundred is graduated from college. ; "Men and women,'' the United States bureau of education urges, "think this over. This is a condition that is in sad need of correc-I j tion." The following instructions given the R. O. T. C. is a sample of the sort of work given in this department: Loyalty-To be loyal you must cheerfully, without qustjon, and j heartly obey the wishes of your I superiors. A quarterback gives a signal for his football team. A good team executes this signal whether it is a good or bad. What would you think of a fullback who refused to hit the line hard simply because he thought the quarter- I back was signalling a' poor play? Loyalty means that you are for your bos sand his business, for your, organization and its officers. No soldier is a loyal soldier who is a! knocker, or a grumbler, or a shirker. Therefore, frown upon knockers, grumblers and shirkers. Dress-The uniform you wear stands for duty, honor and country. You should not disgrace it by the way you wear it or by your conduct any more than you would trample the flag under foot. You must bear in mind that in our.! country a military organization is too often unjustly judged by the nets of a few of its members. When one or two students in uniform conduct themselves in an ungentle- manly or unmilitary manner to the disgrace of the uniform, the lay- : man shakes his head and condemns; ;11 men wearing the uniform, i Honce, show, by the way in which1 : u l you-wear your uniform that you are proud of it. This can best be accomplished by observing the fol- j lowing rules: - 1. Carry yourself at ail times :M though you were p-youcl of yourself , your uniform and your country. j Wear your cap properly on j your head. Have all buttons fastened. j 4. Never have sleeves rolled up. ' 5. Never wear sleeve holders. 6. Never leave shirt or coat un- ! . buttoned at the throat, j j . 7. Have leggins properly wrap- I ped. I 8. Keep shoes shined. -9. Always be clean. Keep head up and shoulders ! square. See that your hair is neatly j cllt. . General Advice-You may some I day be an officer. You should ! then be the true mental and moral leader of your men. This is so whether you become a student of-j ficer qr an officer in the army or p reserve corps. ,, Platoon Schools and Play-, grounds-"Platoon school" is merely a name. But that name stands for something-an idea, as well as ; a form of organization. The form , of school organization may or mav : not be practicable in any one particular school or district, but the idea that it stands for, and leads; to, is diversity of occupation. We j know now, what we did not know ! when most of the still existing' , j school buildings were put up, that j you can't get the best educational i: results with only desks and class- j j ! rooms. Children who have a chance j I to alternate classroom periods with i ! gymnasium or playground or work- 1 I s-hop or: auditorium activities forge ahead of those held to the old rout- j ine of -study and recitation, ji This is not theory; it has been proved. The idea can easily be! j overdone; there are certain "home- i room" advantages, particularly in j the lower grades, that no school should Iosys. But in part, at least, the plaioon idea is everywhere available, to give added diversity and interest without added expense. The O. H. S.-Davis game tuned out just as we expected. It's quite cheering to have one 'game come out as anticipated. Faith, based on evidence, is a wonderful thing. Despite our defeats we not only believfe we have a wonderful tea'm, we know it. This fact has been demonstrated. Students generally agree with older people oft this weather proposition: This is fine weather-for school, too. A dark stormy morning results in a few students oversleeping- a few hesitating about the pro- priety of coming to school-but thj : vast majority are on the job as usual. In a plan of building a good school there are no substitutes for "de-luxe" teachers. Secondly, there j must be "Rolls-Joyce" pupils. Wo ' arise to say that we have both. Mediums: The honest-to-good- ness teachers who bring the psychic _ entities of Marys and Johns ijito - communication with the great, throbbing, real world of sure as you live. ANOTHER TRIBUTE. Nowadays a new meaning is attaching to the word teacher-as Horace said that new meaning! would, in time, creep into the very words which he was using. Nowadays a teacher is no longer expected to be an autocrat, or a task master, because she is no longer expected to fill heads with knowledge. She is expected to help de.-l velop, to help grow, to help be. And this she cannot do unless she shares in the attitude which is identified with the word mother. She must lovqr her work and love the children entrusted to her. She has become a school mother. ZONA GALE. p DEVELOPMENT OF ART _,! APPRECIATION. Indiana university, two years ago, made Theodore. Clement Steele, honorary professor of paint- i ing with no duties .except to use ! the studio provided and allow students to see his work. The trustees said "the benefit of his presence, the daily work of his chosen profession, may be a new and precious experience to the student body." In the same way we feel that the presence of Mr. Stewart at one high school, and the presence of beautiful art pictures in our hallways contribute much to art appreciation in our student body. ' i( For the same reason, and for the 5 j further reason that the Ogden high Jr i school is perhaps the most accessible and used public building in m i Ogden we have a feeling thaf Og- den community pictures might very 1 well be added for the time being 3 to our collection. We understand . I that a movement is under way r'K whereby the pictures might be: ' hung here. 1 .') When one considers that more 3 than a thousand young people look 3 i upon the pictures every day, that' t ! another group (part-timers), 3 30, , see them twice a week, that Amer- . H icanization, extension, night school , classes-another group of 5 00 pass .! through the hallways at least twice , a week, besides a great many pa- r: ! trons and visitors it is evident that . these pictures are potent influ- '! I ences. j I "REIN' WHAT YOU AIN'T." j This is a great age for people j to want to be what they are not and to be it with the least effort on their part. The lady wants rosy j cheeks and the qui.-kest way to have the bloom of health is to buy the box of tints. The "get-rich- j quick" suckers bite the bait of the i gold brick stock. The amateur mu- j sician expects to become a saxo-; phone wizard by "the taught in ten lesSons"-you don't have to study --there is no practice drudgery method. There are more folks trying to get station PDQ than there are those who are listening in on what station WORK has to offer. More lieople are trying experiments in doctoring their gasoline with bot- i tied compounds than are working to adjust the carburetor or to clean j out the carbon. Lots of waist- lines are trying to reduce and yet ! live next to the flesh pots. Many : a fellow has thrown over the copy : book maxim "Be industrious; keep i everlastingly at it" and has signed on the dotted line for the XYZ course in auto mechanics "taught in six weeks, carfare and board i thrown in."-Arthur Dean in Industrial Arts. Truly one of the jobs of tlW ! present day teacher is to teach- "that for everything worth while one has to pay the price, in time and in effort." COLLIER PROGRAM. 5. An Adequate Salary Schedule. 1 Good teachers make good schools. Good teaching material, men as well as women, must be attracted.. A salary schedule that encourages adequate training and the breadth of icleas that go with it will work miracles with any school system. Whatever the scale of salaries, the teacher with two years of professional training should get more i l than a teacher with .only one-and ! so on up to those who have finished a full college course. In the same way, a teacher who has been ! with the system five years is more valuable to the community, other things being equal, than one who has been there only four. Des Moines, Iowa, has a salary schedule that illustrates these points-and gives results. On Friday afternoon of this week- the Girls' association will give another of its popular teas for the mothers of all students enrolled. The invitations wni be sent out on Wednesday, meanwhile we advise , all parents-especially mothers- that they are invited, and are ex- ! pected to be present An assembly program will be given at .1:30 o'clock after which parents are invited to meet the teachers in their i classrooms, and sip a bit of tea! in the assembly hall before leaving.1 The committee on the tea is composed as follows: Genei-al chairman, Marjorie Allen. Invitation, Lorene Wattis. Program, Fannie Greenband, Margaret Hicks. Refreshments, Janet Farnsworth, Blanche Scowcroft. Decoration, Kathryrf Wallace, Mamie Peck. Serving, Mary C. Alexander, Louise Richardson. Nursery, Thelma Scoville, Thel- ma Jones. ! Reception, the sponsors. i AFTER MANY DAYS. The following admit turned up I ; at the high school Monday: Lehi High School, Jan. 10, 1910. Please admit Mina Child, i Tardiness explained. W. KARL HOPKINS, Principal. HB Jr. JB The following students were all "A" students during the first term: Louise .Browning, Lucy King, Eleanor Kidder', Cora'Keyes, Helen Merrill, Edith Pads, Jake Reynolds, Garff Wilson. There was a large number who had but one B, all other marks "A." STORY CONTEST. Gamma Kappa announces the following short story contest: A s shoi-t story on a Christmas subject, suitable for publication in the Christmas edition of the quarterly. Eligibility: Any student in the Ogden High school is eligible to enter this contest. Prize-The prize to be awarded the winner will consist of an attractive gold pin, and the prize winning story will be published in the Christmas edition of the Quar terly. Rules governing contest: Short story must not exceed 1000 words. All manuscripts must be in not later than December first. All manuscripts to be typewritten. Name of contestant to be put in an envelope accompanying manuscript. All manuscripts to be given to editor of Quarterly (Freida Kraines.) Judges: Three outside judges ' will be selected, by the Gamma Kappa, to adjudge the manuscrips and name the winner in the contest. COLLIER PROGRAM 6. Studies Adapted to Needs. Modern courses of study. Not Latin and algebra simply because they were taught to our fathers and to us. Our schools no longer train merely for the professions; they train chiefly for life. Courses of study retained only because they were once considered '-valuable waste opportunity and time of both teachers and pupils. If Susie, who ought to be getting some of the music that she loves, gets only stereotyped history and arithmetic instead, school is not doing its best by her. Enough coyrses of study should be available to give each child something suited to his particular needs. ARMISTICE DAY. Today is Armistice day, hence no school. Yet we are advertising high school through the notes as usual, for the7 day is of great significance and will be appropriately observed. At 1 o'clock the R. O. T. C. boys met at the Memorial drive to taKe part in the ceremonies there. Every patriotic citizen who can, should be present at these exercises. After the exercises the school uniting with the American legion and townspeople will hold a little celebration at Lorin Farr park in the form of a well-matched football game between Ogden Htgh and Granite. Some will continue the celebration by tripping the light fantastic with the soldier boys of .1.918 at the Berthana white cuby |
