OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES 4-27-26 Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market place or tran¬quil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say "When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, "This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way." —Henry Van Dyke. BEAN WEEK. A somewhat inclined-to-be-hu¬morous friend sends us the follow¬ing; "Dear Sir: "Believing in education by cele¬bration, as it were, rather than in the same process by cerebration, as it was, we are sending you here¬with a program for 'Eat More Beans' Week.' "This program was especially prepared for us by Lotta Peste, the well known educateress. We are about to petition congress to pass a constitutional amendment adding another week to the calendar in order to prevent our program from coming the same time as some oth¬er. Well, here it is: "Monday—Travelog; pupils de¬scribe Boston and Lima. "Tuesday—Grammar drill; Be-Was-Bean. "Wednesday—-Conversazione, sub¬ject, Jack and the Beans Talk. "Thursday-—Biographical sketch¬es; Famous 'Has Beans,' Jack John¬son, Cleopatra, John Barleycorn, Cardiff Giant, King Tut, etc. "Friday—-Correlation with nature study; Open a Can of Succotash." THE REAL TEACHER. I do not believe that there are any really helpless in our high schools. In fact, in the last few years I have come to believe that the number of pupils a teacher clas¬sifies as such, bears a definite rela¬tion to her own success or failure. When a physician decides that a case is hopeless and the patient helpless, he acknowledges himself helpless to treat it; and bestirs himself only to make his patient as comfrotable as he can, awaiting his final translation from the vale of tears. When a teacher lets herself be¬lieve that a pupil is helpless, she likewise is powerless to do very much to help him. The weaker the patient the greater the challenge to the real physician. The weaker the pupil the greater should be the challenge to the teacher. The real teacher endeavors, like the physi-cian, to make her patient as com¬fortable as possible and this she does by leading the pupil to a bet¬ter understanding of the best in life and in himself and helps him to satisfy his need for self develop¬ment.

A favorite pastime for some peo¬ple is to submit a set of questions to youth, and then rave at the ig-norance of the young and the weak¬ness of the schools. A come-back was staged recently at Cleveland where 250 members of the cham¬ber of commerce were given twen¬ty-five questions on subjects that "everybody ought to know." One hundred and twenty-five refused to take the test. Of the two hundred twenty-five who did, one bright man, a lawyer, reached the high score of 23 per cent. The average of the group was 12 per cent. We submit here ten of the questions for the benefit of our "Dads." Let's see how many you can answer. Name three cabinet members named by Coolidge. Name one of three Democrat¬ic senators who opposed the world court. Who is the oldest member of the United States supreme court? Of what great university is A. Lawrence Lowell president? Name the emperor of Japan, or his son, the Japanese regent. Aside from Willard, name any two men that Dempsey has fought as champion. When was the last total eclipse? Name the sixth largest city in the United States. What man has been both onen golf champion and amateur champion during the same year in America ? What is the price of a seat on the New York stock exchange? (Note—Puzzle on these until to¬morrow. when the answers will be published.) INSPECTION DAY. Friday, April 30, is inspection day. The hour is 2 p. m., at Tabernacle park. After the inspec¬tion the boys will go down to Gus Becker's plant and be entertained with target shooting by that past- master of the art. He will then treat the entire unit to some of his best liquids. Year by year the R. O. T. C. becomes more and more deeply indebted to Mr. Becker. NO ASSEMBLY. On account of inspection Friday, here will be no assembly held that day and the following change in program is announced so as to lose as little time as possible. The first period class will be omitted and all other classes advanced one period. The second period class will meet at 8:30, the third at 9:30, the fourth at 10:30, the fifth at 11:20. After noon the sixth period class will meet at 12:45 and work will close at 1:35 for the inspection. OFFICERS' BANQUET. The annual officers' banquet will be held on Friday evening in honor of Colonel H. L. Jordan. After the banquet the officers and ladies will indulge in a dance. OGDEN'S ORATORS. Grant Chandler and Jean War¬ner were selected Monday evening in the elimination contest to represent Ogden High this year in the Lewis oratorical contest to be held at Kaysville on Wednesday after¬noon at 2 p. m. Professor J. Q. Blaylock of Weber favored us again, acting as judge of the con¬test. Mr. Chandler will speak on the subject of "Tolerance" and Miss Warner on "A Plea for Youth." A PROPOSAL. A proposal was made in faculty meeting Monday evening that the Weber gymnasium be secured for work in physical education for girls next year. It is thought that Og¬den High school should avail her¬self of the opportunity of using that gymnasium with its fine equip¬ment, its swimming pool, etc. It was proposed that all girls meet at the gymnasium daily at 8:30 and have their instruction the same time as the boys get theirs. The idea met with hearty approval of the faculty. OTHER PROPOSALS. Principal Merrill also suggested that time could be saved more ef¬ficient work done, failures avoided, if regular class recitations should be lengthened to 25 minutes—-to be equally or nearly equally divided between study preparation and reci¬tation. In accordance with this plan a limited amount of home work would be required. It is be¬lieved that a very much better school could be built upon this plan. BURGLARS. The carpentry department of the high school had burglars over the week-end. A window was cut out and entrance into the supply room was effected by cutting through the compo board partition. The job was done by some one quite familiar with the situation and it is be¬lieved the culprits wall be appre-hended within a few days. WAHLQUIST TREATS. Keith Wahlquist, the newly elect¬ed principal of Weber County High school, acted as host to his pals, the faculty, at the regular meeting Monday evening. Becker's best was served and much enjoyed. It helped to wash down the "dry as dust" stuff that usually charac¬terizes faculty meetings. THE OPERA. The sale of seats for "The Her¬mit of Hawaii" is going on apace, and it begins to appear that the chorus will be greeted by a full house on Wednesday night. This is as it should be, for this promises to be one of the big musical treats of the year.
