The Standard, published in Ogden City, Utah, is a late afternoon paper issued every evening except Sundays. Readers may discontinue by notifying the address, with subscription terms and renewal conditions outlined, and the paper will stop after the current paid period.
A local newspaper fragment discusses advertising stands for sale and includes a long letter from a Ogden family defending their children’s school records. It cites Roscoe Glasmann, William Glasmann, and Blaine Glasmann, noting absences, a broken hip, and pool hall time. University of Utah evaluation by Dawton is mentioned, urging calmer debate over accusations.
The Standard reprints Kenneth D. Dawson’s morning article defending Ogden school authorities. It notes Dawson is an Ogden High School graduate working through the University and compares his stance to Superintendent Mille, while rebutting claims about Glassmann’s family and university outcomes with emphasis on Dawson’s temper and the school system’s record.
The text directs handling of communications by policy, stating unsigned messages go to the waste basket and that certain requests for information about polling funds will be answered. It references sending a name to the Standard for inquiry and emphasizes formal processing of communications.
A reflective piece questions a perceived attack on public schools. It asserts public schools are sacred to Americans and essential to good citizenship, urging readers to defend the system against efforts to undermine it.
Parents contact Blanchard demanding teachers stay out of the school fight. Disruption interrupts work as teachers are urged to focus on duties and keep students away from conflict.
A fragment urges proper respect for elders and praise rather than reproach from schools. It laments teachers inciting harm and blames the school system head for slow student progress, calling for accountability of superintendents and those affected by educational handicaps.
The text argues Germany's greatness in preparedness comes from strict discipline and extensive work training. It states German schools avoid playhouses and fads, keeping children employed with books and manual training. Discipline extends from early years, never relaxing until duties in a larger social work effort are fulfilled.
A dated attack on Ogden editor’s children blames local schools for moral decline. The piece argues half day and lax discipline ruin youths, claiming students are corralled into idle routines and shirk real work. It contends strong parental backing and rigorous schooling are needed to mold boys into responsible citizens.
Patrons enjoyed yesterday's Alhambra vaudeville bill featuring Mizpah Balbier Archis Royer’s versatile talents. Roser, famed for high kicking, May Hennett as the Venetian fountain queen, Williams and Watson as comic foils, and the LaMont brothers with triple tapping provided lively acts. A matinee offered the film Temptation with Geraldine Farrar and Theodore Roberts.
Ogden patrons enjoyed a diverse Orpheum program with strong acts including The Prosperity Eight led by Yale Mingers, Sorority Girls with Cal Dean and Marie Fey, Santos and Hayes, Stelp and Hume, Jonathan the novelty cartoonist, and Ollie and Johnny Vania on the slack wire. Utah girl Miss Julia Dean from Salt Lake stars in Matrimony at Ogden, plus Triangle Keystone’s Stolen Magic and the Pathé feature Madame X coming next week with Dorothy Donnelly.
Stingaree captivates a large Isis Theatre crowd today performing a daring stunt that has the performers singing while he holds up the audience in a bold, crowd-pleasing act.
In Balt Lake on January 14 Mrs Vivian Stokes tested a revolver matching the weapon alleged in the murder case against Dr Herbert Marshall. She aimed at the back of her head and snapped the trigger four times, drawing a crowd in the supreme court chamber. Irene Wasp, 12, testified she could snap the gun during a test at a local hardware store. The demonstration shifted focus to whether Mrs Marshall could have killed herself, a central defense theory in the murder trial ongoing since November 1915.
