Address all communications to Weber Herald, Ogden, Utah. STAFF. H. Dale Phillips, 'IS Editor Chas. H. Linford, '18 Business Manager "RATTLE-BRAINS" CEASE TO JINGLE The old familiar saying "A boy's a boy" seems to have been given a sudden and hard jolt during the assemblies of the week just ending. To say the least, without discussing the means employed, it has been proven that even the most "noisy" could refrain from whispering during the devotional exercises. The discipline of all has been greatly improved. Devotional is a place of prayer, an assembly where we are called together to bow in reverence to God, and as such it is the real center of church school training. Church schools have this vital advantage over other schools. It is not the teaching of theology that marks the great distinction between church and state schools, tho that difference contributes wonderfully to that distinction. In the last analysis, it is the humility, devotion, true friendship and appreciation that comes as a result of meeting together once a day, and there bowing in reverence to God and hearing something of either an instructive or entertaining nature. Life is made up of more thanmachine-like actions. Hence the importance of devotional it draws our attention from ourself, helping us - to appreciate the virtues of others it is a remedy for egoism. Then . aside from this truth, devotional is necessary for the maintenance of a proper church-school stu-dentrbody. If religion cannot be blended, with activities of the school, it is worth but , little. Religion as aworld-ly attitude, is valuable principally because of the power and personality it gives one. Viewed in this light, religion means action and action in school is achieved thru student-body activities. The great danger in scholastic education is that one is liable to forget the realistic side of life one seems to separate himself from the outside world. Student activities afford a way of avoiding this. They develop personality and power.

Ours is no exception. Teachers, who as students took active part in their student organizations, almost invariably make the strongest faculty members. Devotional then, is the most important class in school, because, if properly conducted, it forms an outlet for one's personality and is a means whereby one can develop power.The student's personality, however, can be crushed by the excessive use of formalism. Better by far to show the inward reality than the outward form. Devotional may also be made more profitable and entertaining by some events that are informal. President Beal and the faculty are to be congratulated for the discipline that has been the feature of the few last devotionals. Here's suggesting that we have some timely talks by every member of the faculty. A series of lectures, dealing with the problems of students would be an excellent idea and would be the best kind of theology. Such develop personality and power and bring about a unity and appreciation among the students that is of priceless value. Let's support the real bulwark of our school course, which is devotional by demonstrating that we do appreciate the programs. In the meantime let's add a little vim and intrinsic value to our programs. We admit, we do not believe to any great extent in strict formality. "EXTEMPO" CONTESTS BEGIN TOMORROW CONTEST BETWEEN CLASSES SCHEDULED FOR DEVOTIONAL Devotional is to be a bit enlivened tomorrow morning by an inter-class contest in extemporaneous speaking. Each class is to be represented by one contestant and that contestant is tc be given five minutes to discuss some phase of the subject, "Russia and the World War." Instead of each class being represented by two members and holding Lhe contests every two weeks, each class is to be represented by but one speaker and the contests are to be held every week. In other words, just as many speakers will appear as last year. It is an excellent way of de veloping the student's power and personality, of making devotional more interesting, and at the same time, of fostering school activities. The Public Speaking department is taking charge of the contests and the subject for discussion tomorrow proves that thruout the year they will be profitable to all. This year there are two prizes to be given for "extempo;" the J. S. Lewis medal for the student who wins from the other members of thestudent-body and a $10 prize offered by Ex-Principal Barker. The Board of Control has not yet decided how to use the latter, but it is thot that it will revert to the winning class of these contests, to be used by that class as an award to the best "ex- VOL.

At any rate the contests are to begin tomorrow and to be carried on for the year. Let's get behind and support the contestants. Let the classes get together and have their class yells and use them. CLASSES VOTE "UNIFORM DRESS" STUDENTS RESPOND TO THE CRY ECONOMY Enthused with the idea that the present war must be won by the economic efficiency of those who already enjoy the rights and privileges of democracy, the different classes ol Weber last week decided to help do their "bit" by wearing uniform apparel. This action of the classes is merely a continuation of their previously expressed desire to do everything in their power to aid their country in this great crisis. It came as a fitting climax to the speech delivered by Prof. Joel E. Ricks, in which he said that the time was here when sacrifice was demanded of everyone. Dollars, not merely men, he maintained, were the most important means toward ending this war, and therefore that people should not only conserve, but sacrifice. Prof. Ricks pointed out that one of the most important necessities for our soldier boys is wool and that the wool supply is being exhausted very fast. It was in response to this particular need for conservation that the classes decided to dress uniformly. The Sophomore class proved its patriotism by voting unanimously in favor of reducing expenses and conserving the wool supply by wearing uniform clothes. The response of the Freshman class was almost us great. The upper classes, after nure deliberate consideration, decided also to step down from their dignity and aid their government. The loyal action of the classes applies to both sexes; to the students of wealth as well as those who have not quite the same means at their control; for in the voting it was noticed that those who were "well-off" were equally anxious to wear cheaper cloches. U was not decided just what the uniform dress shall consist of, but it is expected that the boys will adopt some economical costume similar to overalls. They feel it is a time for economy and are willing to sacrifice Iheir "woolens." The girls will fall in line with "sack aprons," etc. Now that the vote has been taken let's hurry and adopt the uniform. We want to do our "bit." We can do it by dressing cheaply and uniformly, by giving those who are giving their lives the "woolens;" and by us wearing something else. Furthermore it will bring home to us remembrances of those boys who are fighting our battles for us; it will make a more democratic spirit at Weber by making us all feel on an equality as regards dress, and then the student-body will be united as never before. Let's support our vote by our action. Proudfit Sporting Goods Co. We Carry a Fuli Line of BASKET BALL GOODS GIVE US ATRIAL . 24th and Hudson Ave. nummillerd! fl ")xHs&rs est fjlrx NO COAL?
