Mr. Burgess received a letter from
Mr. Homner of the Oregon Agricultural
College in reference to the honor sys
tem which was recently introduced into
the Heppner high school. He makes
the following statement in reference
to the honor society, and requests that
we publish it in our high school news:
"The nonor system or Oregon Mate
College, in its sixth year as a consti
tutional measure, is increasing in popu
larity and establishing itself as a tra
dition with the students.
Students are placed on their own
honor to a great extent to develop per
sonal honor and individual respoonsi-
bility for the honor of the college. Some
who begin to slip into dishonesty are
stooped by a verbal warning by other
students, thus preventing a serious vio
lation.
If violations do occur, however, the
offenders are reported to the honor
council, an organization of ten upper
classmen chosen from a wide range of
departments, whose duty is to consider
the reDorts of anv action tending to
tear down tne morale oi tne college ana
to act upon the evidence. All decisions
are subject to the approval of Presi
dent W. J. Kerr.
The respect with which decisions of
the council are held is evidenced by
cases of two students who tried to leave
the institution without trial.
Students coming to college here real
ize more and more the necessity for
making their own way in classes ana
for doing their part m upnoiaing tne
honor code, wnicn is tne oasis oi Beav
er SDirit.
"This shows how necessary tne nonor
society really is in acquiring a future
college education and proves that an
honor society is not only desirable, but
beneficial and necessary lor tne up-to-date
high schools.

"Ben Hur" to be Shown
At Star Here Next Week
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, In arrange
ment with A. L. Erlanger, Charles Dil-
lineham and F. Zieefeld, Jr., offers the
world's niitrhtiest attraction at the Star
theater next Monday, Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday, in tne celebrated
picture version of "Ben Hur," to which
all New York has crowded for many
months and which equally delighted
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia in as
manv record-breaking runs. This won
derful picturizatlon cost $4,000,000, three
years time and the labors oi lou.uuu
persons m Italy ana (.auiornia.
It culminated in the construction of
the gigantic Circus Maximus and race
course of Antioch and in the filming
thereon of the thrilling chariot race. In
stead of eight horses and the old-time
mechanical Illusion of the stage show,
the new and greater "Ben-Hur" shows
twelve teams of four horses.
The details of General Lew Wallace s
famous "Tale of the Christ" have been
reverently followed. Not only that, the
picture heightens the powerful melo
dramatic and love interest of the play,
centering in the four romantic charac
ters of Ben-Hur, Messaia, tamer and
Iras, enacted by Ramon Novarro, Fran
cis X. Bushman, May McAvoy and Car
mel Myers.
