A new schedule has been drawn j up for the coming- year, in which every member has the opportunity of debating at least once every three weeks. With our new offi­cers and our new plans complete we are setting forth to make de- hating1 the foremost activity in the high school. OBJECTIVES IN EDUCATION 3.-Worthy Home Membership. We came long, long ago to rec­ognize the home as the basic in­stitution of society. If civilization is to endure the home with its best traditions and its ideals must be maintained. During recent years civilization has been threatened, primarily because the home has: been threatened. Many have seen, i as it were, the foundations of so- j ciety crumbling in the ' loosening ; of home restraints, the breaking of home ties, and the weakening of respect and authority in the home. Sociologists, especially, are warn­ing us that the home-life must be sacredly protected and improved if we wish the other institutions to endure, for their continuance depends upon the perpetuation of the ideas and ideals of this funda­mental organization. Life in miniature is represented in the home. Father, mother, child represent the holy, earthly trinity. The most beautiful thing in the world, as well as the most enduring, is mother-love. A big part of education is learning to appreciate and reciprocate mother's love. The child that has gone ! even a little way in returning : mother's love; that has learjied j how to treat brother, sister, has; practiced self-sacrifice for the sake of sister, brother; that has as- j sumed some little personal respon- j sibility in the conduct of home 1 affairs; that has come to under- I stand just a little about duty, right. ! privilege, opportunity as these great things function in home-life, is already a long way along on the road to true education. Here in the home, and we may safely say here alone, can these lessons i be learned; and the continuance ' of education is but enlarging in ! daily practice upon these plain, ' simple home virtues. Without good homes, without home ideals, it would be impos­sible to establish good schools, good churches, good communities, j good states or nations. Therefore, j the committee certainly struck, bedrock when they set out as one I of the very important objectives, of all education the' establishment and maintenance of worthy home j membership. j A WORD TO PARENTS. Apropos the subject of worthy home membership we respectfully recommend for the consideration of the parents the following quo­tation taken from a recent book, "Youth and Conflict," by Miriam Van Waters: "The responsibilities of parent­hood are the most important that we are called upon to undertake. . . . The child picks up the emo­tional flavor of its environment as effectively as a glass of milk in the ice chest picks up the flavor of the onion lying next to it. Fear, hate, rage, love act upon the bodily structure as do strychnine, mer­cury, heat, light or other agents. Scientific research shows that not only temper tantrums and disobed­ience, but enoresis and convulsions are pyscho-genic ana preventable. In order to produce a desirable response in children parents must understand and control their own emotions. Jealousy, hypocrisy, antagonism between parents may cause in their children mental re­tardation, physical -disease or de­linquency. Parents generally un­derstand and are ready to furnish food of the right kind at the right time. They are also ready to make rearrangement in the living- conditions and to take necessary steps to improve the child's physi­cal condition. They are not, how­ever, alert to the importance of maintaining a happy and tranquil disposition of providing the right emotional environment for the child's development." Jan 15-25 Ogden High School Notes Tomorrow night is the big opening game. Tickets over Bamberger are on sale at office today and tomorrow. Good on 3:30, 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30 o'clock trains. Good for the day only. A. tentative schedule for next semester is prepared. The follow­ing new courses will be offered: Geology, third and fourth period; sewing, third pnd fourth period; eugenics, seventh period; physiology, seventh period; English, ! fourth, sixth and seventh periods; office machines, fourth period; algebra, sixth period; geometry A, seventh preiod; biology A, third and fourth period; in'addition to these a goodly number of sec­tions in economics, sociology and law, adv. algebra, solid geometry, trigonometry, etc. Assembly will be held at 11:15 o'clock, fourth period, tomorrow. Dr. L. A. Garison will be the ! speaker. Attorney Fred Conway, another ; O. H. S. graduate, is launching , out in his chosen profession, j Fred is opening up law offices. TO BE PITIED. Of all men (or women) the ones most to be pitied are the confirmed humorists. Once having achieved a reputation for humor they must live up to 't at any cost-so here's sympathy for Tom Sims, George Ade, Ring Lardner, or any others who try to be funny. More to be pitied than these perhaps is the fellow at school who craves the reputation of be­ing funny, clownish. He surely has a hard time of it, and event- usally loses one of his choicest possessions-the respect. and es­teem of his fellow students. The student who is wise will capitalize his strong points and wii' over­come his idiosyncrasies rather than to develop them. DEBATE HELD. The art of debating is receiving more attention at schoo' this year than ever before. To be trained to stand on one's feet and think consecutively, logically, is a very worth-while thing. The following students in Miss Cortez' sixth period class, Allen Hampton, Geoffrey Morgan, Edward Woods and Arthur Froerer debated the question,, Resolved that the eighteenth amendment should be repealed." The negative team J won, NOVEL CHRISTMAS CARD. The most unique Christmas ! card we have yet seen was re- ' ceived by Instructor George Bergstrom. It apptars first as an envelope, end opening, with Christmas greetings appropriate- 5 ly printed on the flap. Upon raising the flap, on meets a splendid picture of George Wash­ington, as in a photo folder. Curi­osity drives one a little farther- he looks into the envelope and discovers the Washington picture is the one that appears regular­ly on all United States currency. We may not disclose the demon­stration, but it was a one, or a five, or 10 or 100. It, at least, was a clever card. Perhaps we may say that D. R. Wheelwright sent the greeting. SOPHOMORE PARTY. The date of the big sophomore party (for sophomores only) is set for January 24. The party will take place at the Christensen studio at 8 o'clock, admission 25c. The tenth grade students from all the junior high schools are cordially invited and promised an enjoyable time. , Come on, sopho­mores! Let's make this party a success, and get into the lunning!

I take no thought of my neigh­bor's birth, Nor how he says his piayer, I'll give him a white man's place I on earth ! If his game is only square, If he plays it straight, I'll call him mate. If he cheats I'll drop him flat, i Old class and ranks are a worn out lie; I All clean men are as good as I, and a king is only that. ICICLE. An icicle is the. most, fascinat­ing and yet the most puzzling creature of my acquaintance. I say acquaintance, because in spite of the fact that I have known icicles all my life, their cnld for­bidding disposition has prevented me from ever becoming friendly with them. ; It is most queer that this dis- j dainful thing can be jo melting and pliable in the righc environ- j ment; but if taken into the warm shelter of the home, she loses her stately figure and soon becomes a mere pool of muddy water. Alas, when this state is reached it is not the frozen object I ad­mired which lies in such disgrace. The spirit of the glorious icicle has departed to seek shelter in a natural body of even greater beauty. Again, I love to sit and watch the melting penaant on -o. u y when the temperature holds the , reluctant drops just with i the embrace of the icicle. Then her full beauty and power is ap­preciated and the . lingering glances which she bestows on me would soften a heart of stone. But even then Winter's Queen appears to have no soul. If I grasp her in my hand there is no responsive warming of her body, but only the cool dissolving which means that she is about to elude my grasp forever. Alas, frail icicle, you may never know love, or happiness but al­ways must be simply a scornful queen dangling from your slip­pery throne! -Adelaide Smith. OBJECTIVES IN EDUCATION. 4. Vocation. Next in importance to the se­lection of a companion and the eestablishment of a worthy home, the most important thing in any individual's life is the selection of and a training for life's vocation. This, too, is a baffling problem and usually people are well along life's way before they have defi­nitely made their choice. A very few only know early iu lte what they wish to do and begin to train for :t. It is the aim and purpose of the school to bring within the child's experience a large group of interest a studies. so that he may discover himself the bent of his aptitudes and abilities. An interest in mathe­matics during high school and college may decide for the youth that he may profitably enter some field of engineering. An in­terest in science may determine ; that he shall enter the field of survey or medicine or manufac­turing. So also with interests de­veloped in other subjects. They i are to determine the great prob- j lem as to what his future work ! is to be. Tlie essential thing in any vo- f cation is that (he individual has j a whole-soul interest in it and an I aptitude for it. In the varied and complex civilization to which we belong, this selection of a suitable voca­tion is often necessarily long de­ferred and is made with increas- i ing difficulty. It need not be f said here that varied study, long I continued study Is absolutely! necessary for the making of this I most important choice. Is it not ! obvious that a great many people j never get into their real vocation, , because of this lack of training? Abraham Lincoln did not know definitely what his great life work should be, but he said, "I shall study, I shall work, I shall prepare myself and some day my time shall come." This should be the motto of every child. It is the work of the home and the school to in­culcate this idea in the child's mind so :hat he shall be prepared when his time comes to make through his work and training the largest possible contribution to the world's work, to the world's business. Assuredly every man must have his calling, his work, and it must ever be the aim of the home and the school to enable him to find it. Jan 16-25 Ogden High School Notes Tonight the big game with West will be played in Deseret gym at o'clock. It is estimated that at feast a hundred students will go down to witness the game. S! The second team was to play West seconds this afternoon. A week tonight the first big tome game of the season will be played here-Ogden vs. East. In to accoj mopate the crowd the-Weber gym has been secured tor tm occasion, as also for the West game of February 13. - HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER. - J Eggleston's well known story of the Hoosier Schoolmaster will be filmed at the Colonial theatre this week. Mr. Skinner, knowing how anxious all the. teachers will be to Review this charming story, has complimented every teacher in the (System with, a ticket, good for any day, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. For all the teachers ;ay we say "Thank you, Mr. Skinner." STEERING APPARATUS. Murray Allen, blind, and instruc­tor of blind, told a good story on iimself Thursday. He said he got lost down town during a recent storm; a pedestrian came up and .said: "You've lost your bearings, haven't you ?" "No," says Murray, "my bearings are all right, but my steering ap­paratus is out of whack." TO HELP THE JUNIORS. In order to distribute more equally the teaching load in Ogden High schools, two of the senior high teachers will assist in the junior next semester. Mr. Kapple will assist in mathematics at Washington, and Mr. McMurrin will assist in history and literature at North Junior.
