In a democracy like j ours, especially, must every student be prepared to assume his re-! sponsibilities and do his part as a citizen. To do this well one must be well informed on the history, growth, ideals of his country and his government. History, sociology, law, ecnomics, geography and kindred subjects contribute to the absolutely necessary training of intelligent participation in the duties of organized society. One musf forget himself here and consider what things are necessary and good for the group-for the city-the state-the nation-and especially in this day when all nations are so closely connected through telegraph, radio, railroad, steamship, commerce, common interests-the world at large. Every citizen today must be a cosmopolitan, a universalist-one who is vitally related to the interests of all people everywhere. Selfishness, greed, narrowness, bigotry, conceit-are evils that must be overcome by the modern man who veritably is a citizen of the world. As before inr- timated, the stamping out of these vices originates in the home and continues in the activities of the church, school, city and nation, through putting into daily operation their opposing virtues-unselfishness, charity, broad-mindedness, wisdom,,, altruism-love-in all one's relationships to society. Education must provide all the way along opportunities for these virtues to function in actual daily practice. Self-government in home and school furnish the one big opportunity for the functioning of civic virtues. A child cannot live under a despotic, autocratic government at home, and at school, and then go out prepared to function properly in a democracy. The practice of democracy must begin very, very early, otherwise me way not I hope that it an be grafted after gaturity. Training for participation in a national or a world democracy is a tremendous work, but it is a work that belongs to education-the education of the home and the schooL Are we sure that we are giving that training? Ogden - East - West Get Together and List Classy Games Football schedules for the "Big Three," Ogden, East and West high schools, were drawn up at a special meeting of coaches or the three schools Friday at Salt Lake. Opening contests are slated for October 3. The schedule was drawn up at this early hour in order that games with out-of-state teams might be arranged. It is the plan of the schools i to bring in outside competition during the year from Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado and to journey out of state for at least one contest. East is anxious to meet the Greeley, Colo., eleven, while West is dickering with Boise. Ogden is seeking contests with Pocatello and Twin Falls. There is a possibility that Westminster college will also be included in the schedule of the teams. ' Ogden and West open the season at Salt Lake, October 3. The following week East plays Ogden ; on the local field. The East-West clash is booked for October 17. Ogden meets the Leopards at Salt Lake in a return contest October 31. West and Ogden meet here Armistice day. West and East again meet the following Saturday. 1-19-25 Ogden High School Notes This is the last week of the first semester. Reviews and examinations will be given . this week preparatory to the beginning of new work next Monday. More than half the students are taking courses that run throughout the year, so that re-registration does not affect them at all. BIG GAME FRIDAY The thought of the big- game coming up this coming Friday night with East High in the Weber gym will be dominant in the minds of the students all this week. The splendid victory over West on Friday last enhances greatly the interest in the game with East. There is perhaps more enthusiasm among Ogden people for basketball games this year than ever before, due to the fine competi- j tion offered by the Salt Lake schools. The game on Friday last with1 its 2,000 spectators was quite a different affair from what our game , with Bear River city with its 200 spectators would have been, had we played in the J. E M. league. TO REPRESENT UTAH M. J. Abbey, state supervisor of vocational education in Montana, writes the Ogden High school an invitation to have one of our students represent the state of Utah in response to the addresses of welcome at the vocational conference next month at Bozeman. The invitation is gratefully accepted. GOOD FOR EVERYBODY. There is an old saying that "What is good for the goose is good for the gander." On that theory what is good for teachers, is good for pupils and good for patrons and so we are printing today for everybody a ''Look at this every- of Ogden City schools by the -x erintendent. LOOK AT THIS EVERY DAY. A Few Suggestions "Loyalty is ' the fundamental quality in members of any organization. Loyalty is the fundamen- y tal quality of a corps of teachers, t- S Courtesy, kindness and cordial- ; ! ity are marks of the fine teacher. Never nag, never bully pupils never use sarcasm. "Wounds made by ; words are hard to heal." We are fortunate if we can al- ways maintain poise and self-con- trol. Don't be overly sensitive; don't 8 think much about yourself; play the game. Treat patrons and the public y generally with courtesy and con- I1 sideration. One good way to have polite pupils is always to treat them po- 51 litely. A teacher's business is not merely to hear recitations out to teach p; to make dark things clear, to show ' how to overcome difficulties, to fill the minds of learners with U ! light. Try to foresee and prevent un- I- i desirable occurrences. An ounce j of prevention is worth a pound of ! ! cure. Talking too much is many a c ! teacher's besetting sin. Encourage c your students to talk. Don't re- peat your questions; don't repeat pupils' answers. It is not enough that all the r. men and women in a corps be good teachers; there must also be team work. You are not a solitary worker but a part of a group, and therefore your interest should embrace the whole school. Every if teacher in an efficient corps is i willing to work outside his room i or department when necessary. Un- a der unusual circumstances he j cheerfully assumes added responsibility in order that the work of the school may proceed normally ;t If the principal is absent, teachers !i increase their efforts in order that the work may not suffer. If a v teacher is absent, the other teach- e ers are more vigilant. ' A teacher should have breadth of mind. Keep learning and grow- ing and keep hospitable to new 2 ideas. ' A teacher should be healthy in body and mind, happy and bright in disposition, refined in manner, ' and sound in character; for all j of these ' qualities are catching J when pupils are exposed to them day after day. W. KARL HOPKINS, Superintendent. APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY j A hotly contested basketball ! game conducted in a closed hall 1 ! and witnessed by one, two, three, four thousand is a very exciting i affair. It creates high emotional ' ' tension. It puts people under the I influence of the emotional life, i which ordinarily and usually takes j second place-subordinate to calm P j reason and a seasoned will. f I We are not sure but that it is a 1 'fine thing for the physical being I to feel occasionally the thrill, the ' exhilaration the excitement and exuberance of spirits that combes under such circumstances as men- J tioned above. In fact we believe ; it is a good thing. We are more sure, however, that ' it is not a good thing for people of both sexes, having been thrown into thife frenzied state of excite- i ment, to be thrown together in the ! whirl of the dance. For this reason we have refrained during the past two years from having dances after our basketball games. There is a temptation to have the dance at such times because the crowd is at hand and ready and eager to join in the whirl-and money can be-easily made; but when one considers the moral dangers attendant upon the "dance" at such times we feel sure that the patrons ol the school will agree with the j faculty that the rule "no dance after games" is a good one. It ; rests upon good, sound psychology. I Jan 20-25 Ogden High School Notes There were 577 cases of tardiness to classes last week as com- pared with 607 the week before. , In justice to all we should say that a goodly number of these J were excusable, e. g., account of girls' assembly at Central Junior on Wednesday. The loweest num- kf i ber reported by ay teacher for ithe week was two, the highest 35. 3! It. may be further noted that some of these cases include tar- e' diness of a quarter of a minute d! or less. The passing from class I- to class has been greatly im- - I proved during the past two weeks. SEATS ON SALE. The admission to the big game d on Friday night will be 5u cents. e There will be about 350 reserved seats on sale at 50 cents addi- , tional. These are on sale at the n office, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is likely also that j they will be on sale at Weber Gym. TO TAKE MATHEMATICS. ie To graduate from any course j ie in Ogden High school one must i have one unit in algebra. He j !Tl must have in most courses; also ; y one unit in geometry. Both of j these are especially recommended as one cannot enter any college " without them. A list of 257 j students was posted Monday who ' w have, not met these requirements e as yet. The advisors are asking ' i g students to register for this work next semester . SECOND SEMESTER. h Registration for second semester will take place on Friday 1 morning; second period, this week, i Those students who have changes j g in classes will be given blank j cards on which they will write j their names and studies for sec-j e ond semester. During tne day they are to secure signatures of 5 teachers with whom work is to be taken and return cards to ad- n visor before 3:30 o'clock. 5 The Stellae club gave a very interesting party last Saturday evening at the home ol Miss Dorothy Higginbotham. Cecile MacDonald and Sidney Badcon ! were the prize winners m the ; - "Musical Chairs" contest. SOPHOMORE PARTY. On Saturday night the sophomore class of Ogden High schools, :'3 including Senior High, Central, North, Washington and Lewis Juniors, will give a party in the Central Junior gymnasium. DISABLED. Miss Merle Chipman had the misfortune to'wrench her foot in a fall on Sunday evening to that ' she could not wal k en it Monday : 1 . or today. She was carried to ' school on Monday, but having 5 . secured crutches is able to get 5 ' ! around without help now. The 5 1 girls say she is still qualified to ; give some good stiff examinations, j BRICKS AND BOUQUETS. 1 i On Saturday we received an i anonymous communication saying that the O. H. S. students are very deficient in manners and conduct. The article inferred that this branch of instruction is sadly neglected at the high school. On Monday, Mrs. Kate Sprague, who has run the cafeteria several j years at the high school, volun- j 1 tarily said, "I just want to tell , ; you how splendid and fine the young people at the high school are. You have every reason to be proud of them. They are weli behaved and you can trust them anywhere." So it's all in the point of view -some people see only bad-some i only good. |
