8 THE ACORN He came to Utah in 1864, leaving Sweden in March and arriving in Salt Lake City in September. He has filled many places of honor and trust among his people. Abroad he has for years presided over the Scandinavian Mission, including the missions of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland. At home he has filled the position of Teacher, Bishop of the Fourth Ward, arid Second Counsellor to the President of the Stake, the last named position he has held for over twenty-one years, and still holds it faithfully. Since 1891 he has been Trustee and Treasurer of the State Industrial School. President Flygare has been a very successful builder, and such buildings as the Utah Loan & Trust Company's building, Z. C M. I. store building, the First National Bank building, and other prominent buildings stand as monuments of his skill. He has also been connected with Z. C. M. I., First National Bank, Eccles Lumber Co., Ogden Sugar Co., Ogden Rapid Transit Co., and the Ogden & Northwestern Railroad Co. He has also had somewhat to do with journalism, for through his efforts the Ogden Herald was begun. He also aided in starting the Ogden Standard. A noble trait of his nature is shown by his generosity. At one time he gave the last dollar he had to sick emigrants for medi- cine. He has always showed the same free hearted spirit. Being treasurer of the Academy Board of Directors, he is perhaps better acquainted with the needs of our school than any other member He is pre-eminently fitted for his position, and has proved a very near neighbor to the school in more ways than one.

Manning, '05 Subscription A little Acorn has dropped among us a healthy, modest, unassuming acorn. In it may be seen the miniature tree awaiting only for conditions favorable to its development into a sturdy oak. These conditions are, first;the soil of affection and loyalty of the students among whom it has fallen; secondly, the sunshine of noble thoughts expressed clearly, forcibly and fearlessly; third, the moisture of sympathy and liberal patronage from friends and patrons. Surrounded by these essential conditions our little twig will grow in strength at every issue; deprived of any one, and it will shrivel to dust only to be blown by the first gust of "I told you so," into the eyes of those who nourish it.

If they find but little to admire and much to criticize, we hope that the knowledge of the effect of a cold blast upon a tender plant will modify their censure and allay their criticism RELATION OF ORDER AND SYSTEM TO SUCCESS. Every successful business man plans his work to a greater or less extent. He knows what he will do during the following day or the following week, and to the extent that he has his work planned, to the same extent is he successful. The one who goes to work in a haphazard way ia not successful, because he does not economize time. It is very rare, indeed, that we see a careless man successful. Time is too precious and life too short to waste. A man who plans his work ahead and in detail does not loose time in doing it. His time is all taken and he has none to spare. If there is anybody that must economize time, it is the student. It has been our experience that a student has enough work in a year's course to keep him busy; but he can, if he has a plan of study, handle the course with ease and complete it successfully. Suppose a student has five studies to
