Show WAR MAKES HIGH SCHOOL LADS MANLY All Eager for Training and No Slack- ' ers, Professor Eaton Tells i Harvard Club. The war has had a splendid, man-making man-making influence on the boys of the high schools of Salt Lake and the United States, according to Professor George A. Eaton, principal of the city's, high schools, in an address at the annual an-nual meeting and banquet of the Harvard Har-vard club of Utah at the University club last night. Five days of phj'sical training a week have blossomed a stronger growth of j'oung manhood, and there is not a slacker in the institution's entire en-tire masculine enrollment, he said. Boya who for some physical defect nessarily have been exempted, feel badly and express their regret and misfortune mis-fortune at being deprived of an opportunity oppor-tunity to be classed among the nation's possible defenders of the futifte. False education, Mr. Eaton declared, was the cause of the war. "If the German Ger-man children of the past twenty years had been educated properly," he said, "there could have been no war." The Harvard Club of Utah last night decided to offer a Harvard scholarship of $300 to a Utah boy, preferably a graduate of high school. Under the provisions of the club the recipient would enter the freshman class. Still another scholarship may be offered by the club a little later. Officers were elected as follows: President, M. A. Keyser; vice president, presi-dent, Asa Bullen, Logan; secretary-treasurer, secretary-treasurer, Gleed Miller; chairman scholarship schol-arship committee, the Rev. John Ma-lick; Ma-lick; chairman entertainment committee, commit-tee, H. W. St urges. |
