Show PAGE FOUR THE WEBER HERALD THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922 WEBER STUDENTS IN MISSION FIELD Reports Reveal Two-Thirds of L. D. S. Missionaries Are Weber Students. We are proud of the graduates of Weber, since so many of them become missionaries of the stakes in which they reside. At a recent conference of the Ogden stake it was reported that 75 per cent of all the missionaries of that stake are graduates of Weber. Tins fact illustrates the efficiency of the school in accomplishing one of the purposes for which it is designed, that of preparing young men and women with the necessary kind of training to fit them to be intelligent representatives of Utah and the Mormons in the various parts of the world they are called to preach the gospel. With the increasing standard of education in the world today, we have discovered that a high school training is hardly sufficient to enable our youth to achieve the desired success in missionary work. The recent enlargement of Weber's capacity from a Normal college to a Junior college, will supply the students with necessary equipment to fill this deficiency. In reports from most of the bishops of the four stakes of Weber county, we have received the names of the following missionaries who are actively engaged abroad in missionary work: (The first numeral indicates the number of missionaries out; the second the number who have attended Weber) Eden (2-2) Harvey Backman, Wallace Walker. Huntsville (5-2) Arnold Felt, Lester Felt. Going on mission in fall, Chester Engstrom and Elmer Nelson. Liberty (5-1) James Shaw. Middleton No missionaries out. Uintah (1-1) Timothy W. Iendell.

Slaterville (1-1) Delos Holley. Roy (3-2) Rosella Dalton and Gilbert Gibby. Pleasant View (2-2) Stanley Rhees and Paul B. Cragun. North Ogden (6-8) Henry Brown, Clyde S. Campbell, Leland Gibson, William Ray Woodfield, Floyd Campbell, William Ray Barrett. First Ward (4-1) Oscar A. Bingham.Second Ward (6-6) Lawrence Dox-ie, Maynard Peterson, Orvil Foulger, Clyde Linford, Wallace Browning and Mrs. Browning. Third Ward (5-5) Milton Hodge, Francis Gealta, Lynn Lunberg, Fay Wilkinson, Eugene Wiggins. Fourth Ward (3-3) David Lawrence McKay, Clifford B. Doxey, Daniel Jav Shupe. Fifth Ward (4-2) Homer Eccles and Clarence Brown. Sixth Ward (6-4) Clarence White, Andrew Kasius, David Goddard and -Joseph Jackson. Seventh Ward (2-2) Howard Wilson, Joseph G. Jeppson. Ninth Ward (7-4) Owen Ridges, Dick VanderBerg, Jim Rawson, Harold Jackson and former Weber janitor John Visser. Eleventh Ward (3-1) Ruth Tanner. Twelfth Ward (8-4) Walter Stephenson, Delvert Foulger, Milo Lowder and Eva Arbon. Thirteenth Ward (6-6) Mabel Martin, Esdras Whitikcr, Joseph J. Harrison, Chester H. Nelson, Kenneth C. Weaver and Henry J. Dehaan. Going on mission in fall, Wilford Harris. Lynn Ward (3-3) Joseph Anderson, Steven B. Durrant, John Price. The above figures show that out of 89 on missions, 60 are quondammem-bei-s of Weber's student body. In other words, Weber helps prepare two-thirds of our missionaries. There is only one greater desire the school board and faculty have, and that is that Weber might train all our young people for service in this worthy capacity of a missionary. PROFESSOR BLAYLOCK RECEIVES HIS A. M. Professor John 0. Blaylock recently completed, at the University of Utah, necessary work in history for an A. M. degree. He now returns to us with renewed energy in that field. He has built up in our school a very strong department and will now be better able to continue that work by extending it into the college department. Professor Blaylock developed as his thesis, the "History of North Ogden." It constitutes the only and first history of this Utah community. His work is thorough and reliable. Professor Blaylock's objects in writing his thesis were, (1) to show that in the history of a community can be found all the elements of history that the community is typical of the state, which in turn is historically typical of the nation; (2) to show that in a community are found all the principles or elements that make for culture and civilization; (3) to show that a study of one's own community is the best means of developing patriotism and good citizenship. Love of country and its institutions radiates from the local community. (4) To put in permanent form the history of his home town before the sources of its history should vanish. He used as sources of his information all the available literature on western history, minutes of ward organizations, etc., auto-biographies, biographies, diaries and talks with pioneers.He treats his subject under the following headings: 1. Pre-settlement period, natives, trappers, explorers. 2. Settlement and subsequent history.3. Industrial development. 4. Education. 5. Amusements. 6. Religious history. 7. Political history 8. Town plot. !. Biographies (250). 10. Brief chronology of the town. The thesis contains three hundred pages of information that will be of great value to the town. Every community should have a similar history. A bound volume of Professor Play-lock's History of North Ogden will be placed in the Weber library. ROUTINE OUTLINED FOR REGISTRATION Required Subjects Necessary to Obtain Entrance Are Explained. It is necessary that any student en-enng Weber College for the first tune be acquainted with the routine ot registration. The student must mad or bring to the institution, on or before September 6, credits previously made. Then, when he appears lor registration on either September 7 8 or 9, he is to inquire concerning his standing, saying that he has previously submitted his credits and asking whether they are accept-io e it they have been accepted he will be given the necessary cards and instructions for registration after which he will go to room 12, where he will be registered by the heads of the various departments. Requirements for Entrance Ihe student who wishes to enter the college department must present a Ce,'i i'C'lte of Equation from a standard high school, requiring a full four years course, or must furnish at least credit P1'0 high school The student who wishes to enter the senior high school department must present at least one years' high school work in advance of the eighth grade with a minimnTn i . , . :: 's14 oiuuui creuit ot three units. A unit of high school credit represents the amount of work and home preparation required in a class which reCX y throuShout the year, ...... -,, ,,ULB recitation periods. Required Subjects in Senior High School. Theology is required of all students who enter the senior high school. In times past, certain students have been excused from theology on the request of their parents, or because they have not been members of the Church. In the future this rule will app y to college students only. All students in the high school department will be required to take theology.In addition to this, the following groups of studies are required of all students for graduation from the high school course: Three units in English, two units in mathematics, one unit m history and at least two units to be selected from the groups of science, history and social science, and mathematics. One exception will be allowed. Students who have reached the fourth year in high school without taking any mathematics will be allowed to take one unit in mathematics and to elect either physics or chemistry as a substitute for one unit of mathematics. Unless the student has marked mathematical ability it would probably be advisable in this case to elect chemistry in preference to physics. Students who register in the high school should be careful to select their studies so as to get their credits in the required groups as early in their course as possible. Do not leave the required studies to the last year. All second and third year students should arrange their courses so as to meet the requirements of two units in mathematics.Reasons for Requirement in Mathematics. During recent years there has been a tendency to omit mathematics from the required subjects in the high school. Experience with students who have registered in institutions of higher learning has shown that this has been a mistake. Colleges and universities throughout the country are again demanding mathematics as an entrance requirement. Again, there are certain groups of studies which cannot be successfully carried without a mathematical foundation. Law and medicine are included in this group. Some courses use mathematics so extensively that it is impossible to get a satisfactory course in these studies without taking a full course in mathematics. All courses in engineering, and all courses in advanced science require a full high school course in mathematics, and in addition, some college mathematics. Even in the high school, many students have found physics and chemistry, for example, hard because of their own deficiency in mathematics. Students who expect to enter any of the lines mentioned should take all the mathematics which they can get in high school. Further, the subject of mathematics contains a great amount of material which is intensively interesting even to the general student. New and powerful methods of doing things are constantly being revealed to the student. The mathematical explanation of the automobile light never fails to awaken interest. It can be proved mathematically that the cell of the honey bee gives the greatest capacity and the greatest strength with the least expenditure of wax. Hundreds of practical applications of mathematics are seen on every side. In fact, some mathematics enter into the life of every person. Fees. It is advisable to emphasize a few facts relative to the payment of tuitions and fees. In the first place, all class fees will be paid at the time of registration; this action follows as a result of a regulation of the associated students of the Weber College. In the second place, the payment of all school fees is required at the time of registration. Thirdly, it is urged that the tuition, which includes the student association fee of $3.00, be paid when the student registers, since there is a possibility that the school will be crowded to the point of elimination, and naturally those who pay their tuitions are those who are actually first registered.

LIND NOWJN MEXICO Attends University and School of Mines in Historical Locality. Dr. J. C. Lind, who is continually in the field of research, has been spending the summer in Mexico where, with others, he has been exploring the ancient ruins of that country. When the students return to their class work in science, they will no doubt receive many valuable and interesting lectures from our master scientist, Dr. Lind. In fact, the entire school will be greatly benefited and enriched by Dr. Lind's studies and explorations in Mexico. Professor Holton recently received a letter from Dr. Lind, wherein the doctor relates some of his experiences. They are, in part, as follows: "I have thoroughly enjoyed the summer here among the Mexicans at an altitude of 7400 feet above sea level where the thermometer never rises above 85 degrees and where it rains regularly every afternoon during the summer months. I am taking Spanish courses at the university and am doing some work in the school of mines (built in 1792) and in the National Geological institute. On Saturdays and Sundays we visit points of historic interest within 50 miles of the city. We have visited some battlefields of the Mexican war (1846-48), ruins of cities and temples dating back to B. C, and the base of the volcano Popococatipetl, snowcapped and towering to a height of 17,400 feet above sea level. "Here is one of the world's greatest archeological museums which contains materials enough to keep many men busy studying for a century, could they live that long. The Mexican and Spanish archeologists say many of the ruins and remains date back to 4,000 and 6,000 years B. C, and that they are probably all of Mongolian origin. Professor A. Kerr, of the U. of U., is here, trying to solve some of the secret mysteries, and Professor Russell is here teaching Spaniards and Mexicans Spanish pronunciation. There are over 350 students here from the United States and they are all having a good time eating Mexican foods and enjoying Mexican scenery." We will be glad to welcome Dr. Lind back to school this fall and are sure the students will feel it a real privilege to obtain the knowledge the doctor has gained this summer. NUMBERS ON ROOMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED Because of the many changes which have taken place within the school buildings, it has become necessary to change the number of many of the rooms. The numbers of the rooms on the basement floor, run from 1 to 10. This arrangement gives us rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, on that floor, 7 being the number of the supply store. The numbers of rooms on the first floor are from 11 to 30. Room 11 is the president's office; 12, the public speaking room, as it has been heretofore; 13, the typewriting room, formerly, room 11; 14, , the registrar's office, formerly room 10; 15, the bookkeeping room, heretofore room 9; 16, the mathematics room, heretofore room 8; 17, formerly room 7; 18, gents' dressing room; 19, domestic art, formerly 17; 20, domestic art, heretofore room 16; 21, domestic art, formerly room 15; 22, the dining room; 23, the kitchen; and 24, the ladies' dressing room. The numbers of the rooms on the third floor run from 31 to 40. What was room 25 is now 31; the auditorium is 32; what was room 18 is now 33; what was room 20 is 34; room 21 is 35; room 22N is 36; room 22S is 37; room 23 is now rooms 38 and 39; room 24 is now 40. On the fourth floor are rooms 41 and 42, both of which will probably be used as art rooms. ANDREW P. RENSTROM CONTRIBUTES TO LIBRARY From time to time patrons and friends of the Weber College contribute to the Weber library. Last year Clarence Wright of Ogden contributed fifty volumes of valuable scientific thought. This year Andrew P. Ren-strom of Huntsville has presented to the Weber library a complete set of the Encyclopedia Britanica. The board of trustees, the faculty and the students are grateful for such contributions to their library. Be at Weber College campus Friday, Sept. 1, 8 p. m. Help raise the college membership to 200.

The time has now arrived for the passing of the Weber roof garden (that garden of weeds which has so long smothered and almost choked out the life germ of the Weber gymnasium). At a meeting of the Weber board of trustees, held August 16, contracts were let for the erection of the Weber gymnasium. The awards were made to the lowest bidder, in each respective division of the construction as follows: E. J. Isaakson, concrete; George H. Greenwell & Son, brick work; Wm. Treseder, carpentry; Newman & Stewart Co., galvanized iron; H. A. Shupe, plastering; Carl Redfield, electrical; T. E. Thomas Plumbing Co., plumbing and hating. We are glad that our town people were successful in each instance in securing the bids. It is also gratifying to know that some of them have been students of Weber, or that their families have been prominently interested in the school. The gymnasium will be completed in about one year from the present time. Therefore, it is "Good-bye, roof garden, and welcome, Weber gym." SCHOOL OF MUSIC TO HOLD AN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL To mark the closing of a successful summer's work, the School of Music of the Weber College is preparing another open-air festival. The program will commence at 8 o'clock Thursday evening, August 31, and will be rendered as follows: 1. Trombone solo, "Drinking Song" Fisher Glen Carlsen, accompanied by Wesley Muller. 2. Violin solo, "Hungarian Dance No. 5" Brahms Connie Shaw. 3. Clarinet duet, "Second Reverie" Fabre Elmer Barnett, E. W. Nichols. 4. Reading, "Madame Butterfly" Alemeda Newman. 5. Brass quartet, "Evening Song" Mozart Ben Haines, Frank Francis, Jr., Mark Baliff, Ray Crezee. 6. Violin solo, "Thine Own" Lange Ada Burrows. 7. Saxaphone solo, "Le Secret" Gauthier Annette Proudfit. 8. Piano duet (a) "Les Sylphes" Battman (b) "Minuet in. G".... Beethoven Ruth Skeen, Faun Powers. 9. Selections from "The Bohemian Girl" Balfe (a) Chorus, "In the Gypsy's Life" (b) Contralto solo, "Bliss Forever Past" Pauline Waterfall. (c) Soprano solo, "I Drempt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" (d) "Up With the Banner." FORMER WEBER TEACHER TAKES Ph. D. DEGREE In a recent edition of a Utah newspaper a notice was given of the appointment of Dr. Ward L. Tanner to a chair in the State Normal School of Pennsylvania. Dr. Tanner recently received his Ph. D. at the University of Chicago. In addition he was awarded the Susan Colver educational prize, given for the best thesis written ths year in the school of education. Weber College well remembers Dr. Tanner's splendid work as a former instructor. We no doubt realize what a successful year awaits him and wish for him all that follows patient and earnest study.

"The least that we can do in consequence is to give our offspring the best training for life which our pock-etbook allows. "Each school keeps an eye on life. Schools distinctly religious usually lead their girls along a higher path than the average public school can take. For girls as well as boys the junior college has made for itself a place unquestioned in the college world. The secretarial and musical, the domestic science and the training schools for nurses speak clearly for themselves. "A real boy is democratic, and yet he must have individual as well as mass instruction. The wise parent hears the call ever growing louder for leadership. If ever any adolescent material lying around loose appears visible for the making of a president or two, the normal parent will be apt to do his duty. "The private school has long been going. Never was it stronger than it is today. Perhaps the boy who goes to a good private school indirectly helps the public school along by relieving somewhat the congestion which the president of the New York school board evidently had in mind when he recently remarked, "The great object we have in view is to provide a seat in school for everyone.' The record of the private school in fitting boys for college is an open book. Where classes are small, teaching can be effective. Democracy naturally develops where boys mingle from all classes and all sections. The wholesome private school becomes in fact a make-weight foT domestic leadership."Certain types of private schools are gaining steadily in public confidence. The head of a military school who described it not so much as a preparation for a career in the army as a qualification for a commission as citizen cleared up a situation murky in the minds of some. The Church school certainly is making good. When J. G. Cogswell a century ago, on Round Hill in Northampton, established a school to prove that the religious and the secular belong together, he lighted a fire from which A. Toomer, Henry A. Coit and John Meigs, in years that followed, passed on to worthy hands today a burning torch which never can go out. "Only out of boys have we the stuff to make the men who can lead men. Provided he understands his boy, no parent ever errs who places him in the best church school, the best military school, the best life training school, the best preparatory school. 'The best is good enough for me,' vowed the Connecticut Yankee. In the name of the child committed to his keeping no parent dares to take a vow less solemn, or less earnestly endeavors to make the same come true. With warnings unmistakable that unless democracy is led aright civilization itself may stop, no true parent will let a passion ever for a motor car and its upkeep stand between bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh, and the proper education of his children. "The time may come when, as Loth-rop Stoddard says, 'Society will insure its own regeneration.' Till then, the thoughtful parent takes no risk, and with the child he loves makes no experiments. According to financial ability, he provides such training as is best for his children and at the same time contributes to the regeneration and perpetuation of the race." LYMAN P.

This will acquaint violin students with some of the very best works by old and modern masters and in turn give to the college a decided refinement in its musical atmosphere. All students of violin are therefore asked to register for this course. BUILDING REMODELED; NEW OFFICES, FIXTURES The capacity of the Weber College has been greatly enlarged. Instead of all the business of the school being attended to in the antiroom of the president's private office, it will be done in what was formerly Room 10. This room has been equipped with new furniture and all necessary appliances for an up-to-date school business office. Patrons, friends and visitors can be more courteously received in the future. Three of the large rooms have been divided, increasing the capacity in these rooms to fully two hundred students, in addition to space for the students' supply store. Two of the rooms in the girls' building have been enlarged, and two small rooms have been made into one large one. This increases the capacity of the girls building one hundred students. In all, then, the capacity of the Weber College has been increased to about three hundred students. Be at Weber College campus Friday, Sept. 1, 8 p. m.
