TERSE REMARKS. Imperfection is the normal stepping stone to perfection.—Dr. Clarence C. Little. There is no common denominator for intellectual progress and as yet no one has discovered a standard yardstick for cue measurement of human minds.—Provost Edmunds. The golf game was invented by a Scotch spendthrift whose motto was, “Keep your eye on the ball, because a new ball costs money. --Andy Gump (Sidney Smith.) The one thing age has no right to do is to cast youth in the same mold in which it was cast. --Claude Bragdon. The science of education is producing a new curriculum, a curriculum which is built around needs of child life; a curriculum which springs from the faith that the best way to train a child to live tomorrow is to guide him in living wisely and fully today. --The Ledger, New Jersey. A BIT OF HISTORY. The first street illumination in this country began in New York, in 1697, when by decree, every seven householders were ordered to unite in paying the expense of a candle to burn in a lantern which was suspended from a pole from the window of every seventh house to light the way of the belated traveler. From the beginning of history life has been one long contest between the rule of gold and the golden rule. GENDER. "Male and female, created He them," says the Bible, giving us two genders, the masculine and the feminine. Despite this the subject of gender gives language students no little difficulty. For instance the other day in the French academy and argument took place respecting the gender of automobile. One party declared that it was masculine because it has power and strength and another party declared it was feminine because you could never tell what it was going to do.

Oct 8 26 Fri OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES A wise old owl Lived in an oak: The more he saw The less he spoke, The less he spoke The more he heard; Why can't we be Like that old bird? The above sentiment, for some cause or other, makes a very general appeal and is probably found in more business offices than any other sentiment. It now hangs, beautifully framed, in the high school office. It hangs there because Mr. De Lameter of the art shop helped to make the office beautiful, and through his appreciation of the office, the principal, or the office girl or all together, presented the sentiment to the school Thursday. It is much appreciated. GAME HOUR SET Ogden's game with Preston, Idaho, at Preston on October 16 has been set at 1:30 p. m. by the Preston players. THE FRENCH CLUB One of the snappiest meetings of the French club was held Wednesday, October 6, for the election of officers. Naomi Wilbur was elected president, with Dale Wangsgard as vice president, and Marjorie Kelley as secretary-treasurer. The club plans to make real leadway this year. The membership will be limited, the club accepting only those students who receive good marks in French. The club meets once a week, on Wednesday evenings. There has been a fine program outlined for the coming year, including parties and socials. The members are aiming to make their club one of the best in the school. There is still plenty of room for new members. Don't neglect this chance to join me of the finest clubs in Ogden High. —Alice Hyde. GAMMA KAPPA Ship ahoy. Here we are up on deck and ready to sail the seven seas. Captain Chambers, Lieutenant Hyde and Pilot Vernal Johnson predict a pleasant voyage. We have several old, experienced sailors, but we intend to lave new "peppy" ones to help is man our ship. We expect to explore literary ports as well as social. Our voyage will last ill next May. The name of the ship? "Gamma Kappa," of course. On deck—all aboard—let's go. HONOR SOCIETY Gamma Kappa differs from all other clubs and organizations in the high school in that it is a scholarship club. Those only of highest grades in school subjects are eligible to Gamma Kappa. This club is also one of the oldest clubs in the school. BAND TO PLAY The Ogden High school band has received an invitation to play at the U. A. C. vs. Colorado game on Saturday. It is most likely that the boys will arrange their work so as to play. WAR AT HIGH SCHOOL Seventeen million Box Elder bugs have made an onslaught on the high school. They have entered rooms 214, 205 and 307 in sufficient numbers to make the students fell that they shall have to beat a retreat. The chief weapon of the bugs seems to be oil, and one of the teachers facetiously remarked that she thought she would start a soap factory. Anyway, the intruders have created such an unpleasant situation at the school that the janitorial force has armed itself with "Flit," ammonia and other weapons and has promised the bugs a battle to the finish. TODAY'S PROGRAM Assembly program today was to consist of the following: Short addresses by Dr. Bill Paine and some members of the Ogden fire department. Announcement, president of Utah Agricultural college student body. Solo dance, Dorothy Young. French horn solo, Tom Broadbent. SPECIAL RATES Students of the Ogden High school have been given special rates to the great college football game on Saturday afternoon.

FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS President Wade Johnson of the board of education explained to the members of Kiwanis club Thursday that all of new school buildings are fireproof and that every precaution is taken in all buildings to prevent disaster in case of fire. MARK TWAIN, THE AMERICAN William Lyon Phelps says: Mark Twain is through and through American. If foreigners really wish to know the American spirit, let them read Mark Twain. He is far more American than their favorite specimen, Walt Whitman. The essentially American qualities of common sense, energy, enterprise, good humor and Philistinism fairly shriek from his pages. He reveals us in our limitations, in our lack of appreciation of certain beautiful things, fully as well as he pictures us in coarser but in more triumphant aspects. It is of course preposterous to say that Americans are totally different from other human beings; we have no monopoly of common sense and good humor, nor are we all hide-bound Philistines. But there is something pronounced in the American character, and the book of Mark Twain reveal it. Mark Twain is our great Democrat. Democracy is his political, social and moral creed. His hatred of snobbery, affection and assumed superiority is total. His Democracy has no limits; it is bottomless and far reaching. Nothing seems really sacred to him except the sacred right of every individual to do as he pleases. |
