MARooNs SUFFER
THEIR FIRST DEFEAT
NJ. J. H. Sporst Editor


The Challis High School Maroons
suffered their first defeat of the sea-
son last Saturday night on the Arco
court, when the Arco High School
took them ineo camp by 20 to 1S
score. The game was slow on acc
count of the slick floor, and the
small court consequently demoraliz-
ing the fast casaba squad from Chal-
lis.
The game was the first district
tournament game to be played, and
the agreement is that If third game
is necessary to decide the district
champions, 1t will be played on the
same court as the second game was
played the third game to be played
the following night. So If Challis
succeeds in drubbing the Arco quint
next Friday night on the local court
another game will be played Satur-
day night to decide the district
champions.
The game Friday night will be fast
and furious, because the Challis team
has been given new life by the de-
feat which it suffered, and the floor
will be good, affording the promise
of a fast game. And if the Maroons
are successful in this game the fans
will please bear in mind that another
game will be played Saturday night,
this game will be the most import
ant game of the season, for it de-
cides the team that will take the trip
to Moscow to the State meet the
18th of March.
The game will start at 500 P. M.
aad will be followed by dance and
supper in the basement The ad-
mission to the game is 25 and so cts,
and the dance tickets will be one dol
FAR The proceeds raised will go to
the district champions to help de-
fray expenses to the State meet.

Do young people of today have J.
deals? More perhaps than we give
them credit for.
, The following Is a digest of replies
written by members of the Freshman
class in anwer to the question, why
do I want an education?"
81 want an education that l may
be of use to the world, helping in its
progress, to be able TO make an hon
est living and to help the coming
generation"
81 want an education that l may
understand what 1 can do for the
world and what the world may do
for me; that 1 may be a good citizen
and obey the laws.
81 am working in school for an ed
ucation that l may be fitted to do
my work in the world TO support my
self; to be able to mingle with ed
ucated people and enjoy the best lit
erature; that l may be able TO speak
in public and express my opinions
we'll"
Il want an education that I may
be successful in life and of great ben
eft to the world that my abilities
may be developed and that I may
teach others he best hings.'
1 want an education that I may go
out into the world and get a good
position; that / may associate with
the best people; that 1 may earn
money and pay my parents for what
they have done for me even
though 1 cannot repay them for all
they have done for me.
ITO get an education is my one
great wish. I plan TO be a teacher
of stenography and I know I must
have an education to get position
of any kind worth while.
at is my duty as citizen to &C.
ouire an education. 1t is my duty
to help the world and give the best
have. It will help me to make
good, honest living and bring happi-
ness to my home and country and
my example will make the nation
great deal stronger.
Ones expressed ideals are. point
lers that tell the trend of the life. If
thes boys and girl pursue these /
deals, they will surely reach the
land of 'worthwhileness" and efforts
put forth in their behalf shall have
their compensation. To instill such
ideals is of far more Importance than
the teaching of facts.
