Seldom a month passes the parental roof he have them attend the Prof. Leroy Cowles of the Univer-sityo- f Utah and State High School Inspector Williamson in making their report of their findings to President Thomas and to the State Board of Education said among other things: "The quality of teaching seems to be excellent.

Taking all things into consideration, your committee feels that the Dixie College is worthy of the confidence and approval of the State Board of Education and of the institutions of higher learning in this state. The toil and energy', and the fine educational spirit that has brought into being in that remote section of the state, such a splendid educational institution is decidedly open-mind- meritorious. DIXIE COLLEGE DEMANDS MICH OF ITS FACULTY Someone has said, "Strong demands make strong characters. This statement holds true for groups as well as for individuals and it is a probable explanation of the strength of the Dixie College faculty. Each summer there is a literal exodus of teachers of our school to the summer sessions of higher institutions from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. And for a number of years past we have had instructors on leave of absence each school year doing graduate work in leading eastern mid western universities and con- servatories. The degrees of all our teachers have been honestly earned by full time residence work and some our M. A. men are now well on their way to the Phd. degree. Besides having thorough technical must be each teacher training morally clean and above reproach a,'d must be so imbued with the spirit of his work that he takes no thought of time.

Apostle Stephen L. Richards in speaking to the students and patrons of the college said that he had never experienced a more favorable impression that he received here and were it not for sending his children away of outside work. The general atmosphere of the school is one of enthusiasm and honest effort. "The president and the faculty are ST- Dixie is an incubator of genius.
