Willarcl Marriot 'it ik oiuf.cts of a cou.f.;e education Many hi-lieve anil few will doubt that the object of a college, education is, as i'residi'Ut Hyde stales, "To be at home in all lands and in all litres; to count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimate friend; to Bain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the woi-ld's library in your pocket and feel ils resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make taste of friends iimniiK the men of your own aire who are to he leaders in all the walks of life; to lose yourself in fenerous enthusiasms of life; and co-operate with others tor common ends; to learn nn nners from students who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who are Christians." To be at home in all lands and in all atres." Just how is a college education to accomplish this for the student? Simply by broadening his vision, by acquainting him more fully with the life and customs of the world, that that world will not be to him a strange place. We are awkward only in the midst of the unfamiliar, the elementary, and the preparatory schools lay the foundation, and upon that foundation the college builds or endeavors to build the structure of a cosmopolite gentleman. "To count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimate friend." Nature is the one thing that nncjil.s nn universal laneuage it was not confounded at the tower of Bable. Art is always some form of a reproduction of nature. Therefore, the more we understand nature the greater will be our appreciation of the ell'orts of man, who strives to suggest nature through arts. Emerson said, "Every object in nature is to prove some fact of the mind," and Oscar Wild says, -"It is through art only that we can realize our perfections; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence." We can see by these two latter statements how closely akin art and nature are, and why the college lays so much stress upon both. Let us consider President Hyde's next statement: "To gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's works and the criticism ot your own. Bv what method does the college ac comnlish this for us? Is it not through acquainting us with the masterpieces of man's efforts, thereby raising our own standard and appre ciation hy which standard we measure not only the work ot others but our own as well? It is through the courses of literature, oll'ered in the college curriculum, that gives to us the keys of the world's library, or .rather, it is through these courses we most often learn how to open the door and to take advantage of the resources hidden therein resources once familiar, give a background to "whatever task we undertake." The college spirit is one of good fellowship. This spirit offers friendships of the finest type and as President Hyde says, "Among men who are to he leaders in all walks of life." They are to be leaders because they are especially trained for leadership. They are taught by the college, "generous enthusiasm and co-operation for common ends." They are always to be found in the student body of a college. They are the splendid type of men who stand out as perfect models of the true gentleman. The effects of such types together with the influence of the conscientious professors can first be seen in the graduating class of any college. pares one for complete living not living in a mere material sense, but living in the wid -st ami fullest sun-e In this widest sense it comprehends all that concerns life; right conduct in all directions and under all conditions; wise treatment of the body and mind: the successful management of business rkttiuns; how to rear and will soon be train a familv; how to utilize all the-i dents sources of happiness which nature-supplies; how to behave as a citizen - in other words, how to use all our faculties or heart and mind to the ! greatest advantage to ourselves and I for tht; (rood (if others.

In this all-inclusive aspect of education, it comprehends all the activities of human life. The hand must be educated as well as the brain. The heart, the conscience, the moral and the spiritual natures must be educated, for each of these has its own world and its own forces and powers to deal with. A perfect education would mean a knowledge of everything and the development of every human faculty. Life is not long enough for this. The man does well who gains through education some degree of self-mastery, adds something to the common welfare of hu manity, and makes some contribution A stringed ensemble composed 01 students of the violin is the newts, organization in the music department, it meets on Mondays and Thursdays under the direction of M.ss Mary Fisher and promises to he one of the fi lest organizations ever at W eber. The music appreciation classes also give the students of the vioiin an opportunity to study and become familiar with the best works of the masters. Weber's dream of a forty-piece band is soon to be realized. Already twenty veteran players have registered and about eignt or ten beginners.The Girls' Glee club of this year is a better oalanced organization than it has ever been. Although it is composed mostly of Sophomore and Junior girls, it is made up of very fine voices. The students are very enthusiastic and their love for singing is greater than the quarter of a unit credit which the course provides.

Although all of EDUCATION A nationally known writer in a recent article, "What We Owe to the Past," makes the following statement: "The main reason why a child is sent to school is to find out the discoveries and achievements of the past that he may use them for going on." This statement of the purpose of education does not seem to satisfy one. In the process of education the student should become familiar with the history and achievements of the past, that this knowledge may be a light to his pathway. But the real purpose of education lies deeper than this. Regarding education Plato says: "The purpose of education is to give to the body and to the soul all the beauty and all the perfection of which they are capable." Pestalozzi's conception of education was the full and harmonious development of all the powers of the individual. One likes the idea of development to enter into education as its primary purpose. The child is born into the world with certain faculties and powers undeveloped and untrained. In the pilgrimage of life he has to deal with a great complexity of movements and forces that constitute the universe. To enable him to deal successfully with these forces, and to gain mastery over himself and his surroundings, is the real purpose of education. That is true education just in so far as it succeeds m conferring this power of mastery. It is false or partial just in so far as it fails. Education is at least two-fold. First, it consists in knowing the facts, the forces, the laws of the universe; and secondly, in the development, the training, the culture of the faculties into fitness to deal with and control these forces. It is evident, therefore, that a person may know things without being educated, that he may be trained without being educated. Right education should be directed toward fitting one to solve his own problems, to deal with his own circumstances or the circumstances of others similarly situated. It should enable one to work out his own life problems to a successful issue. The ultimate test of education is. therefore, the extent to which it pre- and goodness in the earth. HOARD OF TRUSTEES As we always have had. so we now have ,a hoard of trustees, the members of which lend dignity and power to our school. It is composed of men "who are distinguished business men as well as prominent; civic and eccle-. siastical leaders. They work not only for the industrial success of Ogden city and Weber- county, but also for the welfare of all the young people of both the city and county. Especially for us have they labored incessantly. They meet week after week in tiie interest of our gymnasium and the interest of our scholarship and discipline. Their first concern is to see Weber succeed for our benefit. They select for us the best teachers that can be found in the church, teachers who have a testimony of the gospel and who have the welfare of young people at heart; teachers who will take hold of a boy or a girl and point out to him the road to suc cess m hie. The walls ot the Gym will be going up and before the snow falls the roof will be on. Our board of trustees is working hard for us and we appreciate all they are doing. You may be interested to know that since school closed last spring the personnel of our board of trustees has changed considerably. At present there are in all fourteen members. They are David 0. McKay, president of the board; John Watson, vice president; Thomas E. McKay, John Halls and Samuel Dye, of the Ogden stake; John V. Bluth, Francis Stratford and Thomas Ervine, of the North Weber stake; Robert I. Burton, Joseph Ririe and Joseph C. McFarlane of the Mt. Ogden stake; George Browning, Brig-ham H. Goddard and Nathan A. Tanner of the Weber stake. Eli Holton is secretary of the board of trustees. With such a board the success of our school is assured. its members are not yet in school, the Boys' Glee club promises to be a first-class organization. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Student body officers are a necessity, a luxury, a nuisance, a convenience, but it is a privilege to be one. Our student body officers of this year, as well as in other years, are a necessity, because the students must have a body of people to look after their interests, to intercede with the "all powerful ruler," to give us a "needed day of rest." The officers are a luxury for the students, because they help them, yea, labor mentally and physicall for them. The officers are classed in the list of nuisances because they stand in the way of the whims of some sweet students, mostly dents, methinks. These diligent workers, for they may rightly be classed as such, are a convenience; they come in migniy handy to get things over for the students when they sit at the "dignified board." Yes, students, it is a privilege to be an officer. Imagine yourself in their place. Your opportunities are here; if you would be one of the privileged few, you can begin to attain your goal by taking advantage of your opportunities, by giving freely of your natural gifts. And so life will continue to pass, and school will ever be, and may we always be grateful for the things we receive from our Student BodyOfficers. THE SPIRIT OF COLLEGE Devotion, devotion to country; devotion to family, father, mother, sisters, brothers; devotion to one's self one's better self; devotion to friends and comrades; devotion to employer and employe; devotion to school; devotion to God. Devotion is one of the magic words of the English language. It symbolizes faith, hope, charity, patriotism, love, service. When properly functioning it is a panacea for the ills that beset us today. It will solve the problems of the social, civic, religious and indus trial world. The college devotional affords the opportunity for the college men and women to associate and become acquainted with each other. It gives opportunity for the better self to come to the surface and express itself in such a manner the souls of the pa-ticipants will become knit together like David and Jonathan of old. It will develop a unity that will accomplish wonders in the ambitions, hopes and aspirations of the members, both singly and collectively. It creates an atmosphere that is conductive to the development of the highest ideals it crushes things mean and exalts the pure and lofty. It enables the participants to move in the upper strata of thought and endeavor..And above all it will put the soul in attune with the Infinite and give channel for the operation of the Spirit of God which leads to all truth. Let us make our devotional all that the word implies. NEW YELLING SYSTEM Fellow stoudents, have you .been satisfied with the yells and the yelling of the past years at Weber ? Y'ou would pause before answering in the affirmative, because you can see the urgent need of, this phase of school life. Yet you are satisfied that it has not been what it should have been. That is, the school yelling in former times has failed to arouse the proper spirit and enthusiasm that is necessary to win our games. This is largely due to the worn out yells that have been held on to from year to year. Students cannot be expected to put ail their vim and spirit into these almost forgotten and worn out yells. Therefore, students, we have decided to get back into the ring with an entirely new system, and show our opponents that we can out-cheer them with snappier and more clever yells. Miss Maughn. the head of the English department, has given us a plan whereby we can give all the students of Weber a chance to help out the school. Namely, to let all the English classes, in the near future, take their regular recitation period in composing yells. This will only be successful if the students work with all their power to get the school veils original and full of life. In conclusion it will be well to state that a prize will be awarded to the best yell composed by a Weberite. OPPORTUNITIES AT HOME The history and social science department of the Weber College is growing very rapidly. Professor Blaylock is giving a course in American and European history, continuing through the three quarters. Professor Wilson is giving a course in commercial law and college economics. Professor Winsor is giving a course in college sociology, as well as elementary and rural sociology. Also, Professor Stokes gives a course in economics and sociology for High School. These courses are very well patronized and an extremely high type of students is continually taking advantage of the same. We invite all to visit and examine the high class courses given in Weber college. Everyone should take advantage of these splendid opportunities, for the history is a duplicate of the courses given in the -Chicago university. The economics and sociology courses are the same as those given by the University of Utah. GYMNASIUM According to the board of directors, the building of the Gymnasium has begun in earnest. The delay was caused by waiting for a hoist which was delayed in shipment from the east. Contractors have started work and are using teams in place of the hoist until it arrives. A large crew has already begun work. The walls of the swimming pool are completed, and the floor will be completed this week. The second floor of the Gym will be built first, so as to make it possible for plumbers to do their work in first-class shape; it will take about sixty days to complete the plumbing. Mr. Rabe will take photos of the Gym throughout all stages of construction. All materials used in building the Gym are of splendid quality. INDEFINITE "Is this the hosiery department?" said the voice over the phone. "Yes," replied the weary saleslady. "Have you any flesh-colored stockings in stock?" asked the voice. "Yes," replied the saleslady, "whad-da ya want pink, yellow or black?" "Hallo there! transmitter. "Hallo! are you there?" It was the voice of Snorch of Scotland Yard. "This McHoosh," I screamed with somewhat more than a mere modicum of voice. "This is Snorch," he shrieked. So loud, in fact, that I was not at all hard put to hear him. By now I was thoroughly aroused, although I didn't feel that way at all. "Yes, yes," I remarked with such abandon that the windows rattled ominously. Snorch's reply to this bon mot was to curse volubiy in what might have been Urdu, or perhaps Kohlrabi. His tirade finished, his tone changed. He became calmer. His voice sounded less like a foghorn and more like a steam calliope. "A murder has been had.. Meet me at once at No. 23 Battersea Bridge, near Upsan Downs," he said, and immediately hung up. I set about the business of getting dressed, for it was but 4:00 o'clock in the morning of October 37, 1021, and I had been asleep since the second week of Lent. A moment later I hastily emerged from my lodgings and set out rapidly to the north. I strode along in this direction for several hundred yards, then suddenly turned south, then east, then west, until I had come again to my starting point, where I recollected myself. I called a cab, but in attempting to enter it, succeeded only in falling into the gutter. Evidently the cabman had not heard me, for he was not in sight. I picked myself up and carefully adjusted the bath room rug that, in dressing, I had hastily snatched up in lieu of a cravat. But through all this, I am glad to say, my mind was remarkably clear. It lunctioned admiraoly. In fact, you would hardly have known it to be working at all. Several, whom I met that night, remarked that fact to me. It was now beginning to grow light with the dawn, and I saw by my surroundings that I was still near the place where I had stopped. It was even apparent that I had not moved from there at all. I knew the reason why, also, even though I didn't write a letter to Alice about it. Still pondering, I took a fresh start and presently found myself in Pica-dilly Circus, although the sign over the door said it was Westminster Abbey. Not worrying deeply, I kept on, and after a moment fell into the Thames, where, though the cuisine is excellent, the doors are equipped with too many knobs. All this I did not regard as phenomenal and felt as if I were making good progress. It suddenly came upon me that sinister forces were working to prevent my carrying out my intended purpose. The feeling had come over me almost imperceptibly. For a moment I felt daunted, but recovered myself-possession immediately. To reassure myself I repeated my errand to myself, thus: "The butler has sent me for a pound of cheese or was it two cans of peas ? and it is incumbent upon me to deliver it." Turning around I was embarrassed to discover a number of people following me. Searching their faces eagerly I was profoundly disappointed to find there neither the Prince of Wales nor Aaron Tracy. I spon found myself standing before the door to which Snorch had directed me. I threw it open and entered. Snorch met me and led me to where a corpse lay upon the floor. The head had been severed by the assailant with an instrument that lay a few feet away. I picked it up and examined it. Judging from its curious workmanship and design it was either a Malay kris or, perhaps, a Spanish cathedral. I found out later that it was neither, but a Bavarian ginger snap. Snorch then drew my attention to the corpse and explained that the evidence showed that the murderer, after doing away with his victim, had apparently removed the body and stuffed the clothes with straw. Thoroughly astounded, we rolled back the rugs and danced till midnight. Long years ago there was a young I class called twenty-three, a young j class but not a small one. for this class was very mightv, its vouth and color being its own drawbacks; but these caused no little amount of ridicule and trouble. You see there were other classes also, but none of these so young or quite so green as twenty-three.Because of the youth of this mightv class the older classes did not estimate its strength and considered it beneath notice until well, that would take volumes to tell. Sufficient to state that this young class made the others take notice! Made the others work to keep up with them. Everybody was surprised. Everybody wondered.But twenty-three did not stop to wonder, for under the direction of Llewelyn McKay and Nan Emmett they steadily forged to the top, and for three years have faithfully battled to keep that standing. Have we kept it? judge for yourself! This year, because the student body has taken our best officers, are we going to sink below the standing we have kept so long? No! We are going to raise that standard a little higher and stick! We've lost our veteran leaders, it's true, but even the richest of gems can be replaced; and replace them we have, with Larry Budge and Ruth Wright. An old adage reads, "A thing well begun will end well." If that is true then Class Twenty-three is destined for a banner year and a zippy climax! For the benefit of those who don't know, it might be well to state that we "began with the dance which was given last Friday evening, September 22. The hall wes decorated in autumn leaves, while around the colonades large bunches of cattails were ar ranged, and on the stage were great baskets of autumn leaves. In the south end of the hall a large booth, made of lattice work and covered with autumn leaves and cattails, was open, and punch and mints were served to the thirsty revelers. This is only one of many parties the Senior class intends to give for the student body this year. Watch for the others! WEBER WINS INITIAL GAME Prospects for Fnture Bright; Couch and Halliday Stars MRS. McKEY TO PRESENT PLAY The initial football game of the season proved a victory last Friday when our team won over the Weber Alumni by a score of 13 to 0. The game was played on the tabernacle square at 3:30 p. m. Four hundred onlookers witnessed the scrimmage We hope our team will be just as successful in future games as it was in the first. Those participating in the game were: Weber Hickman Parry Poulson Hales, Moore.... Passey Tavlor, Barker, Seifgart, Potts.. Clark, Steward..

The play-selected is entitled "Columbus Westward Ho," by Alice Merrill Home of Salt Lake City, and has just recently been published. The principal characters are as follows: Columbus, Athol Tribe; mother of Columbus, May Pickett; father of Columbus, Lawrence Budge. A GOOD MODEL Two men chanced to be sitting opposite one another in a tube train. Presently one of them produced a notebook and proceeded to make a sketch of the other. After he had completed the drawing he shut the book and returned it to his pocket. The man opposite was both interested and gratified by this attention and leaning forward he said, "You are an artist, I percieve, sor." "No," replied the other, "I am a designer of door knockers."

Never mind about the style, If the news is worth the while, It may help or cause a smile; Send it in. HE SAID A MOUTHFUL Downstairs in the kitchen his moth-el; was struggling with the supper fire. "Sherman," s,aid his mother, "fetch me a stick of wood." "Ah, mother," replied Sherman, "the gramiruitical portion of. your education has been sadly neglected. You should say, Sherman, my son, transport from, that recumbent collection of combustible material on the threshold of this edifice one of those curtailed excres-ences of defunct log." What are girls' athletics ? The same thing as boys, only different. Girls up until the last few years were considered as articles to be "handled with care," but now they have their athletic meets the same as boys. This year the girls of Weber are going to put over girls' athletics. Why? First, because it's fun; second, it's beneficitl to those involved; and third, it will bring the girls closer together and give them more pep. Girls' athletics will do these three things let's have them. We can if everyone will boost for them. So here's to girls' athletics; may they start now in earnest', and never cease to be. DANCE THURSDAY AFTER B.Y.C. GAME After the football game with the B. Y. C. Thursday there will be a dance in the Auditorium at 8:30 p. m. Student body tickets will be honored. Punch and 500 large chocolates will be served. All the B. Y. C. football men will be honored guests. Impatient Diner Hey, miss! Waitress Don't serve it, sir!
