Retirement Pay For Philippine Officials

DR.. J. A. Widtsoe, WHO becomes presi'
dent OF the University Of Utah. Sep
TENDER 10, 1916, the doors of the col
lege open for the twenty-seventh
year OF its existence. These two facts
make 1t important that the people OF
this state be furnished with state
ment of the aims and ideals OF the
great industrial school, the Utah Az
ricultural College.
Education today means that men
and women be educated to think and
trained to do. The people Of Utah de-
mand that their sons and daughters
receive, during their school career, an
appreciation of the worth while things
in life, and they demand, just as per-
sistently, that their sons and daugh-
tiers receive q training that will en-
able them to do the necessary work
OF the world in q creditable manner.
When education combines these two
ideals, culture and training, II Is
tremendous power for social advance
ment.
The Utah Agricultural College has
combined these two ideals. The
work Of the institution is SO arranged
that all Of its students receive the
cultural advancement so necessary to
our present society. At the same
time they are being trained In their
chosen field for life Of service.

Honor the Flag.

Of the many hundreds who
visited the new Athletic ball park
last Wednesday, not a few were
surprised and shocked at the
use to which the United States
flag was put. On account of the
dirt it was difficult for the pitch
ers to locate the home plate, and
looking for something to mark
it the United States flag was the
first thing available and was
used. 1t was done thoughtless-
ly, of course. Thoughtlessness
may explain an act, but not ex-
cuse it. The flag is an emblem;
it stands for all the principals
our forefathers upheld. 1t should
be deeply reVered, consistently
loved and Loyalty supported. 1t
is careful reminder of united
loyalty and to regard it lightly
is to err in patriotic apprecia-
ton.
At West Point and Army posts
it is an unwritten law that the
flag shall never touch the ground,
and Army regulations prescribe
in detail what honor shall be
paid the cOlors. Devotees of our
national game should not
thoughtlessly offer the slightest
indignity to the national en-
blem. Upon this premise we
condemn the action of those who
allowed the use of the flag on
last Wednesday.
