12 ACORN support her institutions. You will refrain from besmearing her name with filth by frequenting pool rooms, saloons, loitering on the street corners or visiting any place where the moral tide ebbs low. Again I say if you are a true student of the Weber Academy, "The Athletic Department" will receive support, the characters required in "Dramatic" activities will be represented by the most competent persons in the school. Also the "Acorn" "Faculty" and "Board of Education" will be sustained. So students, lend a helping hand. Do not let a few do it all. Now "Fellow Students" let us all get together on this proposition and boost. Yes, "Boost" for the welfare of our school. Students with cameras are requested to bring them to school and turn them on some of the peculiar situations of the students and faculty. There is room for competition in this work. APPLAUSE. There is an old maxim which says: "There is a time and place for all things." Then evidently there is a time for applause. But surely this time is not during a devotional exercise, for the very spirit of this habit is entirely inconsistent with the sacredness of devotional thought. It appears almost as ridiculous to applaud at the close of an address, a musical number, given primarily to arouse devotional sentiment, as it would be to do so at the close of a prayer. So, fellow students, let us take the advice of Brother Ridges and refrain from applauding any number of our "Devotional Exercise." SUBSCRIBE NOW. At the beginning of the year it was announced that the Acorn would publish five numbers and a souvenir. Also that the subscription price would be raised to one dollar. Since then the business department has been more closely investigated, and we find that in justice to our advertisers we can publish only four numbers and a Souvenir. In view of this fact, it has been decided to leave the subscription price at seventy-five cents to all those who subscribe before January 1, 1911. After that date the price will be one dollar, and after May 1 it will be raised to two dollars and fifty cents. ACORN 13 Student Activities LECTURE COURSE. "To hear the voices of the greatest men, To be one with them in mind, And be moved to highest acts by them, Is culture of the truest kind." For seven years the Weber Academy Lecture Course has been growing in strength and popularity. Many men of national prominence and several of international fame have appeared on our platform, giving our patrons the very best that can be had anywhere in America. This year the course is fully as good and in some respects better than that of any previous year. It is the determination of the committee to make it a little better every season, but the standard has already been raised so high that it is difficult to raise it much higher. The names of the artists who will appear this season, together with the dates of their appearance, are as follows: Mme. Langendorf November 10 Kellogg Haines and Company November 22 Judge Alden December 5 W. L. Hubbard and Company January 11 John B. Ratto January 16 L. K. Lybarger February 8 Governor "Bob" Taylor March 23 A. Newins April 11 There will be three kinds of tickets as heretofore the coupon ticket, the season ticket and the student ticket. The coupon ticket will cost $3.00, the season ticket $2.50 and the student ticket $1.50.
