Show M THE "A" ON THE MOUNTAIN SIDE. I AST Friday and S-iturday the students of J the B. A. C. did what they should have H done years ago, which was the construction of a H largo "A" high up on the mountain side, which H will not only be visible from Cedar City but also H; from the approaches to the town for many miles. v' This will prove a splendid advertisement, not on- ly for the school, but also for the great art and B industry for which the institution stands more H than for anything else, that greatest and most H jf JJQcessary of all human avocations Agriculture, and its kindred industries. As the development H of this great industry proceeds in this valley, and 1. the sagebrush wastes are converted into prosper- H ous farms and happy homes, largely as a result H1 of the teachings and inspirations eminating from H this local institution, the gigantic "A" like an all- B seeing eye, will look down upon the transformation H from its lofty position with feet firmly planted B far apart upon the rocks, will smile upon its ac- H ' ' complishment. The students are to be commended plishment. The students aro to be commended 1 for their hard work and enterprise in placing the V emblem where it can be seen and act as a beacon H light to each succeeding student body and the cit- K izens generally. It should remind each one who K' turns his gaze upon it of the blessings placed in H the surface of the earth for those mortals who K have the intelligence and thrift to extract them. B Another thing for which the student body de- H. serves credit, is the punishment which they have KVw meted out to students so lacking in loyalty and B public spirit as to take no part in this important K community enterprise. We are not considering K individual cases now, but are speaking of a prin- H ciple. There may be circumstances that afford K1 ample justification for absence from this post of V duty on the part of some, but as a general prece-BN.. prece-BN.. ' dent it is a good one, and will have a beneficial B effect upon future activities. It is only to be re- B- greted that a lot of citizens in private life who H are always conspicuous at public enterprises by H their absence cannot be made the recipients of a free shave of the tops of their h'eads, or othenvise K marked as nonprogressive. It might be the means B of assisting along all worthy community enter- B prises, which are commonly left to a comparative- B ly few persons to carry through. fR |
