this habit of reading viii not lack Tor
| interest and amusement in his leisure
( hours or in his old age, nor VIII he be
! a bore when in the society Of others. In
/ closing, Professor Marshall urged the
] students to appreciate the importance or
/ this habit and 10 endeavOr to cultivate
| their imagination by studying the works
/ Of the great authors.
Mr.. Z. B. Critchlow addressed the
/ freshmen on THE Art of Taking Pains.
| Dividing his subject into two parts, he
! spoke first on art, defining 1t in its ma
| ture and application, and next on the
meaning OF the expression, taxing
! pains. Pains, he said, meant trouble or
4 trial, and involved the idea of effort or
! labor. The true art of taking pains was
! to eXpend on any piece Of work just the
| amount of labor necessary TO produce
/ the desired results. In this way mucn
| can be accomplished without waste OF
| time and energy. Mr.. Critchlow, IN clos
| ing, impressed upon the pupils the tacI
| that in school they should be gaining, not
! mere rules and facts, but the mental dis
! cipline which would enable them to solve
| the problems of their after life.
The students and friends Of the High
| school will be pleased to learn that II has
! recently been placed on the accredited list
| Of the University of Wisconsin. Some
| weeks ago Professor Reinsch of this uni
versity inspected the school, visiting a
number of the Rotations. His report
which was very favorable one, was en-
a few days ago from the secretary of the
committee on accredited schools. This
letter states that Professor Reinsch con-
sidered the teaching, discipline and en-
thusiasm in class work very good, and
that in consequence Of his report the
committee is glad to place the Salt Lake
High school upon the accredited list or
| the University Of Wisconsin. Consider
ing that Wisconsin stands as one Of the
foremost universities in this country, this
report is very creditable to the High
school.
The first cadet ball given at the ma
ional guard armory Friday evening was
a decided success. The nall was effec-
lively decorated with military insignia
combined with the red and black. The
east wall was almost covered by large
flag, gracefully draped around a picture
of President Roosevelt On the west wall
was a unique design formed by swords
arranged in the shape of stars. The other
decorations consisted of flags, banners,
guns and SabreS. Much credit for this
work is due the decorating committee and
the other cadets who assisted them. About
$50 couples joined IN the grand march.
Nearly all the cadets were present and in
addition a number Of invited guests,
among whom were some officers from
Fort Douglas, several of the High school
teachers and Superintendent Christensen.

airs and was furnished by ChristenSenS'
