Miss Fischer, Miss Rich, Miss Pierce and Mr. Binny gave a musical program, after which Rev. Carver said in part: The chief glory of a nation or city is not it's natural resources nor architecture but the people who make it their home. It could also bo said that, the first value of any comniunity lies in tho pluck and skill and integrity of its men and women.

He is one of America's Amer-ica's leadors In sculpturing and lives in Boston. Mahonri Young stands next in this line. His work was much in evidence at the exposition at San Francisco, while another Utah boy and former for-mer teacher In our high school, was awarded a leading place In the paintings that were to be permanent at San Diego, but his sudden death ended what promised prom-ised to bo a wonderful career. Donald Eeauregard was a Fillmore Fill-more boy but lived a time in Ogden Og-den while he tnught here. Several Sev-eral of his paintings aro to be seen in Ogden homes.

It is a common truth that the talents of a country are limited to the moral and character power of its people. Utah has talent and lots of it in the making. Ours is the task as part of the church folk of the state to inako for conditions con-ditions that will keep manhood and womanhood in such religious purity that the boys and girls of tomorrow will be able to make the most of their abilities and opportunities. op-portunities. The people of Utah are its best products and if they are 100 per cent men and women the material products of the state will be always in the lead. no |
