Every student should be pres ent at Dr. Charles E. Barker': address tomorrow (Tuesday, morning at 8:30 o'clock. It wil be the treat of the year. Ogden, it appears, will soor have secured a new high schoo site-a fall block between Twen­ty-ninth and Thirtieth streets and Monroe and Quincy avenues. This is the best piece of ' news thai has come to high school students and teachers these many years. FINE SHOWING The O. H. S. made a very fine showing- at Salt Lake on Friday. We had no great hopes so that winning second place gives us a lot of hope. We shall enter the state meet with a lot of pep. All Seniors who expect to be graduated have been asked to hand in to the office their names exactly as they wish them to ap­pear on their diplomas, also to mention the course from which they expect to,be graduated. WHICH COURSE? Students are sometimes a lit- j tie disturbed as to which course i they are to be graduated from. We wish to mention again that this is a matter of very little im­portance. The main thing is to have two or three units each of English, science, history, language, mathematics, and then such other electives as they wish. The name of the course matters but little-r- I it gets its name chiefly from the : fact that it represents four units in some particular field. There i is no stigma attached to a course ! designated as "general" or "spec- ial." In fact, one may come un- i der one of these heads and have i one of the best courses possible. NEW PROBLEM The high school has met a new problem this year-one we think has probably never come up be­fore: A number of students who have the necessary units for grad­uation insist that they do not wish ' to be graduated but wish to come : back another year and do other work. This is a most surprising situation-one that has practical­ly taken the teachers off their leet. They do not understand it. The committee on graduation, however, has ruled that whenever a student has met the require­ments, the school has no alterna­tive but to graduate them. Tne faculty feels that four years is ample time for one to spend in high school and that if one wishes to attend school longer than this it is decidedly to his or her inter­est to enter college, that they may reap the benefit of credits earned and of other advantages offered by the college. ARBOR DAY I Wednesday, April 15, is Arbor ! day and consequently a holiday. 1 It is hoped that all students will engage in civic improvement cleaning up yards and homes; planting trees, shrubbery, etc., and helping to make a more beautiful Ogden. If every student would spend the usual school hours in this enterprise we should vote the holiday a grand success. WHAT ONE LEARNS In the long run the learner learns only what he wants to learn and when he wants to learn. The function of the teacher is to create in pupils a learning atti­tude, to find ways in which he j can get students to want con­stantly to do and to learn what will be good for them to do and „ to learn. DISCIPLINE AND LIFE The aims of school discipline are concerned with the training of pupils for proper conduct in life. ; School control to be effective must carry over into effective social control in the society which sup- ports the schools. To bring this abgut, the knowledge and skill' I and habits fostered during school j Ufe must be woven into the pup- ; ils' character so that they will sur­vive the vicissitudes of an ex- ! acting society and function in the varied activities of a worthy cit­izenship. PSYCHOLOGY FOR TEACHERS The following advice given by j America's greatest psychologist, I William James, is worthy of the consideration of teachers of to­day. The advice I should give the teachers would be in the words of one who is herself an admirable teacher. Prepare yourself so well that it shall always be on tap: then in the class-room trust your spontaneity and fling away all PSYCHOLOGY FOR STUDENTS Professor James continues in the same vein: My advice to stu­dents, especially to girl students would be somewhat similar ... One ounce of good nervous tone in an examination is worth many pounds of anxious study for it in 1 advance. If you want really to do your best in an examination, fling away the book the day be­fore, say to yourself, "I will not waste another minute on the mis­erable thing, and I don't care an iota whether I succeed or not." Say this sincerely and feel it; then go out to play or go to bed, and sleep, and I am sure the results i the next day will encourage you ' to use the method permanently. 4-14-25 Ogden High School Notes The worthy life is fundamen­tally the life of strife. It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim, energy and reso­lute courage that we. attain the better things. It is said the average girl has a vocabulary of only 500 words. A small stock, but the turnover is frequent. Senior: Why didn't you stay for the whole show? j Sophomore: Program said, 'Act three same as act one." WONDERFUL INVENTION. The four-wheel brake is a won- j derful invention. Now the auto- I mobile can stop on top of the pedestrian rather than to run over . him. The nice broad balloon tires, are more comfortable, too, it is said. The talk by Dr. Barker this morning was one of the finest we have had in a long, long time. We wish every boy and girl in Ogden might have heard it. THE NEW SITE. High school students are in pretty close touch with the com­munity, yet none of them has ever heard a word against Mon­roe park as a site for the new high school. Nowhere else can one find so large a tract of land so suitable for the school. The people living in that neighborhood are particularly enthusiastic about it as they realize it will add thou­sands of dollars to their property values. They realize the grounds will be improved and beautified immediately, that they will have recreation grounds as well as a civic and educational center. It will be the one, big, unique fea­ture that will advertise and maKe popular that part of town. The sentiment seems to be "Good for the board of education; good for the city commissioners; good for Ogden; we are coming into our own; watch us grow." AIMS OF ENGLISH TEACHING. Charles S. Pendleton, Nashville, Tenn., has recently made a wide survey of the social objections of , j school English. From his report it would seem that many teachers are still a bit hazy about the j things they are really trying to j i do in the teaching of. English. ( He listed 1,581 difrerfBF objee- j tives mentioned by the hundreds! of teachers interviewed. The champion objective of the whole list, i. e., the one mentioned oftenest is this: "The ability to spell correctly without hesitation all the ordinary words of one's . writing vocabulary." That isn't so bad. No. 9 sounds prety good: !' "The ability to think quickly in an emergency." But here are some that sound rather ludicrous: ! "The ability to sing through- 1 words and music-the national J patriotic hymn, "America." 1 "The habit of placing the page - one is reading so that there will not be shadows upon it." "The avoidance of vulgarity and profanity in one's public speak- i ing." BEST MOVE POSSIBLE. A prominent citizen said Monday: "I'm in favor of Monroe park for the new high school be-j? cause it is the most avaiable andic practical plot we can now obtain. ;t If it were not for the fact thatj the Madison school and Weber college now border on Lester park, I should say build the new c high school in Lester park; either c Lester park or Monroe park would 4 be suitable, but my choice is Monroe park as the trend of pop-j v ulation seems to be southeast. That part of town both needs and deserves such distinction as the new senior high will give." t CHEERFULNESS. Learn to laugh. A good laugh t is beter than medicine. Learn to a keep your troubles to yourself, p The world is too busy to care for t your ills and sorrows. ON HATS. I There is a great deal to be said j about hats, and I will endeavor to inform you as to the usefulness c ' of them. I Hats were originally designed s as coverings for the head, but c many of the supposedly modern people, such as girls with a re- cent marcel, musicians, poets and t other "smart" people, seem to 1 think the habit is quaint, and have ceased to wear them. 3 ; Hats are distinguished from ' caps or bonnets by the possession of a brim. The modern hat is an j; indirect offspring of the petasus ijworn by the ancient Romans when s j on a journey. Not until after the r I Norman conquest did the use of 1 hats begin in England. I The Puritans wore a steeple crown and broad brimmed hat. In the time of Charles II still greater breadth of brim and a I profusion of feathers was a fash- . ionable feature, and the gradual expansion of the brim led to the fashionable "cocks" in hats. Our grandfathers wore stove pipe hats; and the hats of poli­ticians were at one time frequent- i ly called "plug hats." The American "dude" always wears silk j hats. The opera hat is said to y have startled many persons who j had riot seen,it before. Intoxicated gentlemen in funny pictures have always smashed their silk hats. Man has been diversely defined, as the religious animal; but to the best of my knowledge he can .be defined as the only animal to wear a hat. Mr. Howells, in one ' of his novels tells us that a young man was intent upon suicide by jumping into the sea. But on his i way to his watery grave a gust of wind blew his hat off; in­stinctively he turned to recover it, and this action broke the course j I of his bad intent. I As a sign of respect, and esteem, ' ! a man bares his head, although ' a certain contentious gentleman j argues that there is no more! reason for a man's removing his hat in the presence of ladies than j ' for his taking off his coat and i vest. A very facetious humorist ; says, "At the folloing times and on the following occasions, re­spectively, the hat should be re­moved or lifted as the circum­stances indicate: When mopping the brow; when taking a bath; when eating; when retiring to i bed; when taking up ar correction; when having the hair trimmed; when being shampooed, and when M standing on the head. So mueiyM for hats.-Glen Crandall. k 4-16-25 Ogden High School Notes Miss Marian Simme, instructor jin English, has been elected to ja similar position in the Salt Lake City schools. Arbor day was passed in as many different ways as there are boys and girls in school. There was practically none, however, but that devoted some little time to home clean-up and home beautifying. Not a dissenting voice was i raised by teacher or pupil to the holiday observance of Arbor day. .Strange creatures we, aren't ;we? ENJOYING STUDIES Dr. Barker struck a responsive i chord on Tuesday when he sug­gested that school to many is sec­ond only to a jail or a peniten­tiary. We believe, however, that most high school students like school and get real joy and satisfaction out of their school work. All who ' do say, aye. Result: 959 12 ayes 41 12 nays. Moved and seconded to make it ' unanimous for school. Carried. NO, THANK YOU The season for dancing seems to have passed. Gamma Kappa gave a matinee on Tuesday after­noon. and despite the fact that the admission was but nominal and refreshments were served the party was lightly attended and the club must face a deficit. NO FACULTY PLAY The urge of school work, the lateness or the season, the apathy on the part of some teachers have all conspired to make neces­sary the abandonment of the idea of a faculty play this year. This wift be sad news to the students, as they really wanted to see what the faculty might do along this line. Too bad, poor faculty. We shall expect you to pep up next year and show what you can do. Why let the students do it all? TRIANGULAR DEBATE On Monday next the triangular debate of Ogden, Davis and Box Elder will take' place in all schools, probably at 2 o'clock. The teams representing the nega­tive side of the question will trav­el. Our team goes to Box Elder. THANKS TO MORSE CO. Mr. Bergstrom has, through the kindness of Morse Twist Drill & Machine company, New Bed­ford, Mass., been able to present to each student in auto mechanics ; the "Machinist's Practical Guide," a very serviceable little booklet which is very much appreciated by the boys and for which tbani?j is here expressed. GEMS FROM DR. BARKER The following sentiments are taken from Dr. Barker's eloquent address on Tuesday: "This is the rottenest high school auditorium, and the best j looking group of boys and girls j I have seen in many months." Dr. Barker was referring to j the inadequacy, the ugliness, the unfitness of the room, not the i way in which kept. j. "I wonder what the board of education in this wondrously beau- ' tiful progressive city is doing that it does not provide you students with a better auditorium." "I wish to serve notice on Og­den Rotary- that I shalL n,ot oom-j back to address the Ogden High school until you are provided with a better building." Dr. Barker admitted that he was. speaking facetiously in this matter, and when advised that ! the board of education is doing j all that it possibly can for the boys and girls of Ogden, he re- tracted the above remark.
