General questions were given the contestants a month preceding the contest, special questions were given two days preceding, and on Alonday morning they drew their respective subjects. Each contestant did exceptionally well in treating his subjects. The judges rendered their decisions upon content and delivery. The contest was held under the auspices of the public speaking instructor.

The head of the education department has received several letters from superintendents to the effect that our graduates have made good in the past. There is no question hut that the record will be maintained. The Placement Bureau has noted a splendid attitude among the superintendents of the state. The concensus of opinion is that the sending out of applications by the school itself is the only feasible plan.

Harrison is a teacher of recognized scholarship, extensive training and wide experience. He is a product of Gainsborough, England, the Brigham Young University of Provo, together with special studies at the University of Utah, and with Dr. Coles of the University of Chicago.

The people had advertised so well that an unusually large audience, made up of people from New Castle, Alodena, and all the near-b- y ranches, were in attendance. Their appreciation' was evidenced by the applause and calls for encores. Following the brilliant success of the Dixie Concert Company in Enterprise, came requests from citizens of Panaca, who were present, that the program be presented in their home town.

Altho there "ere not as many entries as formerly, each contestant is to be commended on the quality of the worker? Freshmen maintain that their activities have not been equalled by any other organization this year. They wish to remind the students of their many successful activities of the year. In the first place, the boys adopted uniform dress a thing new in the school, one which has made the wearers distinctive. The party at the La Verkin Springs was the most successful class party of the year. According to some authorities of the school, the class program was not only one of the best entertainments but it had real educational value. The dance which followed the program was a lift to the class treasury as well as a social success. The freshmen, thru their support of the college prom, won distinction as social leaders. The crowning event of the year was reserved until the last. Saturday morning the class took a hike to Zions National Park. There they lived under the sun and stars, next to Natures beauties, until Sunday afternoon.

The course will be offered at such a time that all who desire the course may have the opportunity. It will be placed strictly on the college basis, and some intensive work will be done. This is the second year the Dixie College has offered work in scout leadership. Many of those who have taken the work are now regularly engaged in scout work. Not only have the students been active in scouting; but the teachers of the institution have been largely responsible for the success of the program in this section. During the past year President Jensen has headed the education committee of the St. George district ; Air. Smith has been active as a scoutmaster and has worked on the court of honor and on the extension and supervision committee; Air. Nicholes is a troop committeeman and is on the court of honor ; Air. Reid is a troop committeeman; Air. Pickett is on the court of honor; Air. Paxman is an examiner and is on the court of honor; Air. Bleak is a scout leader; Air. Homer is an examiner.
