The following press comments taken from the communities in which they have appeared during past summer reveal the enthuastic spirit in which they have been received: FRIDAY, NOV, 7 The Tragedy of Unstretched Faculties The Dixie will pay tribute to its founders in its annual celebration next Friday, Nov. 7. The program has been tentatively arranged by the central committee, President E. M. Jensen, Wayne Gardner, president of the Student Body, and Ida Seegmil-le- r, commissioner of amuse- . tf Now, a difficult subject is the students best friend. It sharpens his judgment and puts a keen edge to his mental powers that cannot be gained in j any other way. In fact, as I have come to look upon it, the supreme aim of our school is not to heap up a little pile of information for its students to memorize and carry away. No, it$ big object is to discover whatever potentialitiesits individual students possess and then to stretch to the utmost each students faculties; to make him think ; to inspire him to creative work, arid thus to steer him away from the tragedy of undeveloped talent or capacity. Do not therefore shun work simply because it demands a stretching o your mental faculties for if you do not stretch them you will in time become a victim of mental stupor and what is there in life worth while for the person who finds no enjoyment in mental activity. er ed 1924.

Dixie College was strongly represented at the recent Church Teachers Convention held in Salt Lake City. The central thot for discussion was theological instruction. It was pointed out that the Church schools are organized primarily for the purpose of instructing in the fundamentals of tiho Gospel. Though man be highly learned in the affairs of the world, yet if he know not God, it availeth him naught. The Church Junior Colleges are organized with the additional thot that college education be made aa nearly universal as possible. Many students are able to begin their college work near at home, who could not obtain sufficient money to go away. At the general sessions methods of live theological instruction were discussed. Standards and methods in college instruction were also mentioned. It was pointed out that the typical college student does not shun work, but that he respects the teacher who makes him work to Third Year Day was very 31 suc- observed October 31.

A very unique program was presented. One yell for Third Years. After the invocation by Arthur Baker a vocal solo was rendered by Theone Jones.
