S. Stevenson, ’13 WHICH class in the high school really deserves the mast praise and the greatest honor? In many cases the reply to this inquiry is influenced by personal preference. However, for once in the history of the high school, there is not a bit of doubt to which the honor belongs. Without any question whatever. the Sophomores deserve that reputation this year. The Sophomores undoubtedly have done a great deal in the past year in many ways. Sophomores have been on every society program, with one exception, given in the assembly hall the past two terms. Did they not acquit themselves gloriously? They did. A Sophomore, for the first time in many years, is a full-fledged member of the Glee Club. Undoubtedly they would have composed the debating team, but, unluckily, they were not eligible. Look out for them next year! In almast every issue of the Luminary there were one or more pieces written by Sophomores. The Freshmen, undeserving of mention, had only one article printed in the whole five issues. In athletics is where the Sophomores shine brilliantly. A Sophomore, for the first time in the history of the school, has been a regular member and player on the school basket ball team. Usually a j erson makes the team in his Junior or Senior year; the Sophomores were not content to wait, and pushed this representative forward. It is well known how easily he made the team-all of which is something to be proud of. On the track team are two Sophomores who can always be depended upon to “gather in” a few points for old Central. One of them can run forever and come out a winner; and to other well, if there is anything he cannot do, the coach has not yet found it out. A very notable fact about the Sophomore athletes is that not one of them has been compelled to quit athletics on account of flunking. A very enviable record, indeed! There is not a bit of doubt in any fair-minded person’s brain that the Sophomores deserve the title of King. In any enterprise they undertake, they always come out on top, leading all by many lengths. So all hail the classiest class of all the classes, the mighty Sophomore Class! Page Fifty-one The Freshmen By Helen Seawell and Margaret Allen, 14 DURING the past year the Class of 1914 has in many ways shown its superiority over those of preceding years. When the time of parting is near, it is easy to determine how important these Freshmen really are. If a group of such illustrious beings gathers in the hall, everyone passing by will gaze longingly at their intellectual faces, envy their fine air of distinction, and. turning to the nearest person, begin a graphic description of who they are, what they are doing, and end with many doubtful speculations as to what society will succeed in convincing these superior personages of the benefits imparted by a membership in the aforesaid club. It is needless to state that the teachers are all interested in this unusual class and have great hopes for its future. Even our busy principal was impressed by the predominating spirit of these excellent students, incidentally stating in assembly his appreciation of their worth. Contrary to the rule, this class is neither young, green, nor timid, for did not one of its number brave a possible shower of ancient and honorable eggs by singing a sonnet of Childhood in Assembly Hall? I doubt not but that this is more than many a confident Senior, intrepid Junior, or audacious Sophomore, with all their fortitude, could withstand. Now let us consider the surprise and consternation if no Freshmen appeared on enrollment day. On whom would those scornful upper-classmen then give vent to their practical jokes and ridicule? What an object of contempt would that school be! In fact, it seems the reputation and durability of such an institution depends mainly upon the character and number of first-year students; and on their intellectual force and mental capacity rests the future renown of old Central. These embryo literati are respected and honored as future lords of the literary world. Their conceptions are highly valued by their teachers, while their youthful opinions are sought in preference to the more biased views of their older classmates. In athletics, also, has this wonderful class called forth the admiration and approval of their coach. Have they not won distinction this year, and do they not expect higher honors in the future? Even though they did not attain victory in their interclass encounters, they showed the true Central spirit in their unquenchable perseverance. Now comes the momentous question. Was ever such an intellectual, ambitious and altogether commendable class of Freshmen seen in the halls of old Central? Deep down in their hearts do not those frivolous Seniors, haughty Juniors, and learned Sophomores, admire and esteem us the Class of 1914? Page Fifty-two N.

Hurst, '12 I T WAS in (he year 1911 that the well organized Central High School Glee Club departed on its second annual tour of a few of the fair cities of Missouri; this was after a season of fine concerts in Kansas City. The towns represented were Nevada, Rich Hill, and Butler. On Friday morning before Easter, this band of entertainers left for Nevada and sang there that night. They sang in Rich Hill Saturday night, went to Butler Sunday and sang there Monday night. In every town the high school and opera house was filled to its capacity, and we were told that we could have return engagements there any time in the future. The entertainment given by the Glee Club this year was longer than that of last year by two features. The program contained in all fourteen numbers. Dietrich’s piano and harp number always made a hit. The solos as rendered by Berry and Koontz never failed to please the audience to the fullest extent. McVay’s violin solo and Bateman s mandolin solo caused them to be called back many times. Numerous encores were given the good work of Powell and Swofford in “Variations”, Hendrickson in his reading, and the Quartette in their singing. The Lover's Octet always put the house in an uproar, and it seemed to be one of the most popular numbers on the program. As usual, the singing of the entire Glee Club always held the attention of the audience. Of course there took place on the trip many laughable incidents. Griffin, Swotford, Campbell, and Hurst formed a protective association in order to safeguard themselves from the rest of the club. It finally reached a point where each man had to protect himself from the other three. Adams, McGinnis, Powell, Campbell, and Lawson seemed to have an agreement with some one not to forget Kansas City girls even though on a trip. Koontz, being a native of these towns, was the best known man in the club, and he never failed to put us “next”. Ask the following questions of the following persons and you will see a smile grow into a laugh: “ ‘Adolph' Mooney, why did they call you the ‘Chloroform Man’? “Berrv, who was your girl in Nevada?” (If Berry refuses to answer, ask Powell.) “Swanson, how did you singe your eyebrows?” “Dietrich, how did you and McVay like the dance in Butler?” “Hendrickson, did vou get enough sleep on the trip?” “LaVelle, how did you get to Rich Hill? “Berell, what's her name?” You might also ask Powell about the ten page essay he wrote to someone living near Kansas City. To the musical side of the Glee Club, all credit must be given Mr. Thomas. He took a varied lot of voices, gave them tone and color, added action, and finally molded them into a good organization. Mr. Kirker must be given equally as much credit for the interest he took in the club. Although very busy on other things, he managed to secure paying engagements so that we could take a good trip and ret urn to Kansas City, far better oft financially than the Glee Hub of last year. entra! 9 1910-11 proved to be one of good fellowship, fine times, and excellent reputation, and will be remembered by all the boys for many years to come.

Central's annual Christmas play passed into history. This year the comedy. “An American Citizen” was staged. The action centers about an English girl and her American cousin, whom stringent financial circumstances compel to marry on short acquaintance in order to secure a peculiarly conditioned inheritance. However, before marrying, they agree to live apart. The last three acts of this four-act comedy are devoted to bringing the husband and the wife together in mutual affection. The leading parts, Beresford Cruger and Beatrice Carew, were ably sustained by William H. Powell and Miss Erma Wheeler. Although Miss Wheeler had but a short time in which to work up her part, her acting was almost perfect. Mr. Powell carried off his difficult situation as a disappointed lover and rebuffed husband with genuineness. In the last act, their interpretation of their parts was especially good. The principal remaining male characters, those of Peter Barbury, Egerton ERMA WHEELER.’ll M BEATRICE CAREW ' H Page Kighly-eighl Review of the Christmas Play Continued LETA WORLEY.'12 as GEORGIA CHAPIN Brown and Simms, were taken by James Swofford, Jr., Hurley Begun, and Frank Slezak. Mr. Swofford, with his aptitude for mimicking, managed to take his part without overdoing it. Hurley Begun, the supposedly dead lover, returned in time to play the villain much to his credit. Stiffly and pompously, did Frank Slezak stalk about in his porter’s uniform. No professional could surpass Miss James Cotter with her laughing and her weeping, while Miss I eta Worley succeeded in giving the right interpretat ion to the part of the disappointed Georgia Chapin. Lavinia Peters, with cap and apron, madeafascinating maid to Miss Wheeler. The characters of Sir Humphrey and Lady Bunn were taken well by James Hendrickson and Miss Ada Irmas. Allen Griffin as Willie, Sanford Brown as the businesslike Dutchman, Louis Guionas Lucas, and Fred Klein as the bell boy, gave the audience much amusement, and added much to the plot of the play. The part of little street waif, Mercury, who was an active agent in bringing together the hero and heroine, was well depicted by James Merideth Knappen-berger. J. J. SWOFFORD. Jr..

Allen Griffin, '12 otr Thin nuay won th« Firirt Diploma of Honorable Mention in the Miasouri Son of the Revolution Content. IN 1743, in a thesis written for his master’s degree at Harvard. Samuel Adams declared to an awakening world that it was justifiable to resist the supreme magistrate if the commonwealth could not otherwise be preserved. Although he was a young man at that time, his later opinions neither changed nor even wavered; and when a strong leader was needed to prepare the way for a successful revolution, Samuel Adams, a man equipped with honesty, fervent patriotism, and abundant tactfulness stepped into the breach. By the historian and biographer he has been neglected. In fact, a precise adequate account of the significance of his career can hardly be obtained. Nevertheless, the luster of his services, although they are not commonly remembered, can never be dimmed, for his services stand forth as his life’s undertaking, as the purest, self-sacrificing efforts of the “last of the Puritans,’’ and one of the most devoted political workers of history. It took less time for Samuel Adams to see the impossibility of reconciliation than it did for any other leader of that period. From the time the two “redcoat” regiments entered Boston, he is said to have given up all hope of reconciliation. Whether this is so or not, from that time he labored with infinite zeal and his own characteristic political skill for the consolidation of the colonies and resistance to the acts of the bigoted Knglish ministry. The War of the Revolution began with the legal war between the colonists and the misguided royal officials who tried to impose upon a new nation laws which were even then a failure in an old one. The services of Samuel Adams may be grouped under two main heads: his service as a political agitator, in which he prepared the people for the approaching struggle; and his service as an organizer, wherein he molded the loosely bound, often selfish colonies into one great confederation. Samuel Adams was the essence of democracy, a skillful politician in the old sense of the word. His unfeigned democracy, his contagious sincerity, and his tact as a politician endeared him to the common people and made him the undisputed leader of all revolutionary enterprises. He was ever ready to lead the disgruntled colonists in protesting to the governor, ever at hand to draw up their petitions to the royal officials. There was no meeting in the town hall in which his voice was not raised in debate “The throne of his ascendency was in Faneuil Hall, said Edward Everett. He never allowed public opinion to waver, but always encouraged legal resistance to the oppression of the royal acts. With his far-sighted view of the magnitude of the struggle, he gladly welcomed those occasions which served to alienate the colonies from the mother country. Nevertheless, although he was a vigorous agitator, he did not go to extremes. Unlike Warren and Quincy, he never displayed frenzy in his doctrines or his speech. Not until he saw the storm was about to break did he encourage violence, and then only so much as was needed and no more. He made the most of all occasions, Faye Ninety-Jive The Services of Samuel Adams in the War of the Revolution Continued always thinking deeply with a far-sighted view of the possibilities of any act, ready in tact and cool in moments of the greatest tension. He weighed in his mind the outcome of every step he was about to advocate, not as to its immediate consequence, but to its result in furthering the cause of the future. He saw through the flimsy, half-conciliatory measures of the government, he warned the people against becoming satisfied when there was a threatening power hanging over their rights, and thus he promoted that unsettled, dissatisfied feeling that finally gave vent in open struggle. However. Adams did not confine himself to the town meeting. He was also a voluminous newspaper writer, contributing many anonymous articles to the press. Though not masterpieces of literature, these inflammatory papers served the purpose of swerving many doubtful ones toward the patriotic cause. Always well-timed, they struck straight to the point. Adams never minced matters. He wrote what he believed to be true, regardless of the feelings of others. He showed no tolerance with his opponents, but waged a bitter war with them. Every dip of his pen stings like a horned snake, said Governor Bernard. Through the press he was able to reach many whom otherwise he could not have influenced. Few men of wealth and standing were ever present at the often turbulent town meetings; but coming upon the clear, just arguments of the colossus of debate in the Boston Gozett?, many were won to the cause of the oppressed His service as an agitator was invaluable to the success of the revolution. He prepared the people for the inevitable, nursing in their minds their grievances against the motherland. He pleaded with them privately; he harangued them publicly; and, as the personal friend of the roustabout and the clergyman, he enlisted all classes in the struggle which was to end in independence. Great its Samuel Adams was as a leader, the success ol his efforts would have been doubtful had he not found and prepaied other men to continue the work he had so ably begun. He sought the acquaintance of every young man of promise. Skillfully interweaving with his commonplace advice his opinions of good government, he brought into their understanding the wrongs of their native land and their duty toward their fellowmen; and rarely did he fail in enlisting them as strong supporters of the good cause. He himself possessor of little brilliance and few outwardly dazzling qualities, through his strong character, intense love of country, and feverish energy, obtained ascendancy over younger minds far more gifted and capable than his. It vas Samuel Adams who enlisted the wealth and.social standing of Hancock in the patriotic struggle; who started .John Adams on his political career; who discovered the eloquence of the gifted Josiah Quincy; and who won over Joseph Warren, the martyr of Bunker Hill. The time needed leaders. Samuel Adams supplied them equipped for the grave task of founding a new democracy. He realized that, this period of ascendancy would soon be over. He realized that by some he was already looked upon as an extremist and fanatic; and so, for that cause he loved so well, he contented himself with the background. Never for a moment did he waver between selfishness and duty. No greater example of unrewarded patriotism is offered in all the annals of American history. I o Samuel Adams we are indebted for some of our greatest figures of our revolutionary Paye Xindy-six The Services of Samuel Adams in the War of the Revolution Continued period; for he not only prepared the people as a mass for the revolution, but he wisely selected respected men for leadership who might pilot the ship of liberty through the storms and adverse winds which were soon to £ come. The thirteen colonies had all been settled as different enterprises under different laws. Some existed under different climatic conditions; others were settled by different types of people. In fact, intercolonial relations were often strained, each colony watching the growth of its neighbor with a jealous eye. However, at the beginning of hostilities all cast their fortunes together and became the L’nited States. To this splendid co-operation more than to all other things combined did the struggling colonies owe their ultimate success. This unification was largely due to the efforts of Samuel Adams, who was the first to suggest and bring into play the measures which resulted in intercolonial union. “Union was his paramount thought. From the beginning of his political career, he advocated unity of action among the colonies. Though like all the Bostonians of that time, he loved his city and native province, yet he looked upon them merely as parts of a great machine composed of all the colonies. He was father to the system of circular letters and committees of correspondence. The latter, which were at first local in Massachussetts, soon spread over almost all the colonies, so that the spirit of revolt in one was always kept afire by the oppressions of its neighbors. Through this system of committees of correspondence, “the cornerstone of our Revolution,” the colonies soon came in closer contact with each other, and their common sympathies were emphasized. The result of this effort toward common co-operation culminated when the delegates from most of the colonies gathered at Philadelphia to discuss the situation in the first Continental Congress. Here again by his tact and geniality, Adams rendered a signal service in smoothing over sectional distrusts and furthered the cause of liberty by introducing a singleness of purpose and sincerity of feeling between the delegates. However, although a congress had met, some further action was still needed to cement the colonies in a common undertaking. This was soon afforded by the Battle of Lexington, where the British, intent upon the capture of the “archrebels,” Adams and Hancock, fired the volley “heard ’round the world.” When the second Continental Congress met, Samuel Adams alone stood for independence. According to Jefferson, as late as 1775, the idea of independence had “never yet entered into any person’s mind. Samuel Adams was the exception. It is known that on that point he stood isolated even among his closest friends. Down almost to July 4, 1776, he was looked upon as an extremist, when, due largely to his tireless, persistent efforts, a change in opinion was brought about, and in the “crowning moment of his political career,” he affixed his signature to the immortal Declaration of Independence. Samuel Adams’ great services were ended. From that time he did nothing which could not have been v equally well accomplished by any man. Hosmer says, “If he had died at the Declaration of Independence, his fame would be as great as now.” He ably filled a place where he was needed; he faithfully discharged his duties; and he quietly stepped aside to let the other man be applauded. He wrote many political papers, but Page Nindy-eeten The Services of Samuel Adams in the War of the Revolution -Continued no giant piece of literature stands to his credit. Nevertheless, those articles served their purpose. Like cannonballs which sink a ship, and then are lost at sea, so the bolts of Samuel Adams, after ridding British authority in America, must be sought by diving beneath the oblivion which has rolled over them ” All honor to the memory of Otis and Henry; all reverence to the name of Washington; but the counsel of an Otis or a Henry would have plunge the colonies into a premature revolution had not a wiser head prevailed, and the success of W ashington with his loyal army would never have become a matter of history had not that old palsied man of the town meeting made such an army possible. Samuel Adams played no spectacular part. He asked for no reward He worked for the common good. Such were his services; such was the man Let his name be linked equally and forever with the name of George Washington, for of all the admirable charac-ters of early American history, the father of the Revolution,” Samuel Adams, stands forth as the one who rendered the greatest services and received the least reward.

This contest, which, by-the-way, is to be an annual affair, was productive of the keenest literary competition of the year at Central. Two teams, an affirmative and a negative, represented each school. Candidates were required to be members of the Junior, or Senior classes. At the first call for volunteers last fall, over fifty prospective debaters put in an appearance, and under the direction of Mr. Smith they were drilled in the principles of debate. A rigorous application of the law of survival of the fittest resulted in the selection of two representative teams, each composed of three regulars and an alternative. On the affirmative team were Walter Brown, Bernard Duffy, and Earl Newcomer, with John Trembly as alternative; and on the negative team were Arthur Boand, Allen Griffin, and Freeman Havighurst, with Landis McDowell as alternative. The affirmative squad did battle at Manual, and the negative met Westport at Central. The result of the conflict tells the tale. Both teams “toted” home the bacon, as it were, much to the satisfaction of C. H. S. partisans. This bacon, aforementioned, was particularly palatable, inasmuch as it was an unexpected delicacy. In plain words, we were not overburdened with confidence of winning. Both the Manual and the Westport debaters were ripe in experience, while the members of our teams were novices so far as experience goes. This handicap mattered not in the end, though, for it was the Blue and hite that was flying when the judge’s decisions were announced. , No small credit must be given to Messrs. Dubach and Nowlin for their excellent work in developing trained debaters out of raw recruits. Page One Hundred One CLIFTON O. RANDALL, Jr.. Ml JAS. H. HENDRICKSON. M2 WALTER B. BROWN.

OX A December afternoon in 1859, the soul of John Brown passed on to his Maker. The strange and unworldly tires that had animated his breast were soothed in a death not unwelcome; for the dishonor of his defeat had been embittered by the unsparing maledictions of his enemies. Men, eager to vent i ee n8S|,n the fever heat of sectional controversy, had stripped him of every honor which he de- served. ruty years have come and gone since the fratricidal blood of North and South,'minglingon the field oi carnage, bought with priceless sacrifice the salvation of our free institutions and effected the emancipation which John Brown sought to accomplish in his own feeble way. Today the acrimony of that time of trial and travail is past and forgotten, and John Brown steps forth from the lurid smoke of war into the heroic light of peace and justice. I he man whom we once condemned, we must pity; the man whom we once despised, we must now respect. John Brown was molded of uncommon clay; he was conceived in fearlessness and was not afraid to brave the storms of adversity. History lauds triumphantly those hardy souls, who, actuated by the glorious passion ot patriotism, have wielded the bloody sword of Mars in defense of the fatherland. How much more should l e homage of unstinted tribute to one who dares lift arms against his native flag itself, when such a deed is wrought in the cause of human freedom and for the nation’s good? John Brown felt the undving spirit ot patriotism as did few of the avowed patriots of his time. Love of country had been born in him; Nature had breathed its fervent passion into his bones as he grew into the strength of manhood. His forefathers were enrolled among the honored names of the Puritans. His grandfather had fought with the minute-men of the 't I0 !!011' nf ‘a “er ? passionate love for the republic was transmitted to the heart of the son and with !t that devotion to right principle and especially to the eternal proposition that “all men are created free and equal that so characterized the actions of our revolutionary founders. Can we wonder, therefore, that the man, John Brown, rose up from this puritanic atmosphere of his boyhood abhorring the crime of slaverv? Here was a great wrong; here was a blot upon the nation’s honor; here was a violation of the eternal laws of Heaven, and John Brown proved the greatness of his character, when he, unlike those who parleyed with compromising words, proclaimed his convictions with uncompromising deeds. On the plains of Kansas he rallied many to his cause, and, when he had finished his task there, he left behind him a state incarnadined with the mood of battle yet free from the curse of slavery. Brown came out of the west fired with a determination to strike a vital blow for emancipation. From Kansas it was but a step to Virginia. When on the morning of October 17th, 1859, the news was flashed to Page One Hundred .Six John Brown Continued North and South that twenty men were holding two thousand government troops at bay at Harper’s Ferry, a frightful vision of war loomed up before the startled eyes of the nation. For a moment the world hung with breathless interest upon the outcome of this unequal struggle, then came the inevitable climax: Brown s meagre score of followers, steadfast to the end. was crushed by overwhelming numbers. Some had been spared the disappointment of defeat by dying in the fight ; others were hunted like beasts of prey in the Virginia mountains; their leader himself was delivered over to the southern courts and hanged, and the world, horrified by the episode, proceeded to heap bitter calumny upon the despised head of John Brown. It was enough to know that he had been defeated, that he had failed. Hostile voices swelled in his condemnation. Many, eager to achieve renown by the violence of their denunciations, charged this rugged and defeated hero with complicity against their hearths and homes. They tore from him the garments of honor and good intention; they divested him of the habiliments of virtue and held up at the bar of public opinion the effigy of a despised malefactor. Those who had sympathized with him were hushed momentarily by the completeness of his failure and the fury of his foes. Had he succeeded, the effect of his victory would have charmed his very enemies into admiration of his boldness. The vision of him, triumphant, over-sweeping the south, proclaiming universal emancipation with the trumpet blasts of the victor would have awed the nation into silent fear and wonder. As it was, having staked all his cherished hopes upon this supreme effort, he failed, and the hosts of North and South hastened to desert him. , . , Yet how often have we been told of the victories of defeat! It was but a few years until the embattled ranks of the North, bold in the fervent support of a I’nion founded upon enduring truth, marched with measured tread into the sanguine fields of the South, lifting high their martial songs to the praise of John Brown. Here we see the soul of the vanquished, rising from his immortal clay, firing human hearts to incomparable sacrifice. I will not say with Emerson that this man was a saint destined to make the gallows holy as the cross. John Brown was only human. The virtue of his work lay in the fact that he was not afraid to perform his duty as he saw it. If he erred, it was in method, not in purpose. . . It is not strange that such souls never die. The spirit of those who brave the buffets of opposition tor a principle is immortal. The memory of this man. stained with the moil of a lost struggle, will live long after the bitterness of civil strife is forgotten. “The statured bronze shall glitter in the sun. With rugged lettering. ‘John Brown of Kansas: He dared begin; He lost. But, losing, won.’ ” Page One Hundred Seven The Force of an Idea By Landis D.

With ?IItivh S?Td“w the c,°ummunity’ and H?e naH°n are utterly dependent upon the man of ideas. As Emerson aptly puts it, We are the prisoners of ideas. f t Page One Hundred Eight The Force of an Idea—Continued The power of an idea is well illustrated if we but realize that every institution now extant, political or social, had its origin in an idea. Ideas of government resulted in the formation of governments. Similarly, by compiling a series of thoughts on governing powers we obtain a constitution. The ideas of our ancestors concerning the relations existing between themselves and their fellows resulted in lasting social institutions. When the political institutions of a country are consistent with the ideas of its masses, they exist de iure as well as de facto. However, if, as is the case with some modern European nations, they are based on antiquated ideas of society and government, they stand de facto and not de iure. Whenever the polit ical and social organizations of a country cease to be the living embodiment of its popular ideals, they become empty names, the instruments of inefficiency and oppression. Men of ideas exert vastly greater influence than men of action. The scope of the labors of the latter is confined to a narrow sphere, whereas, the power of a man with broad and well-founded ideas has no bounds. Cromwell obtained great fame and power and temporarily changed the face of English society and politics. However, his greatness was based upon a rugged and forceful character and not upon an original mind. For that very reason, what Cromwell did, in no way effected the later course of British history, while what Bacon thought, laid the foundation of modern science, to which we are largely indebted for all our material prosperity. Epaminondas, a brilliant military genius, overturned the old order of things in Greece with ease, but as he produced no new ideas, his power ended with his life. On the other hand, Aristotle, his contemporary, the man of ideas, completely enslaved the human mind for a space of a thousand years, and is today and always will be a great force in the intellectual world. Fixed and definite ideas must precede any attempt at reform or progress. Mere dissatisfaction with evil conditions accomplishes nothing. The revolutionist must first be influenced by ideas. Fruitless discontent has been rife in Italy for over a generation and was about to spend itself in disorder and rapine, when there arose a genius with original ideas. He expressed in clear terms what young Italy has been blindly seeking for and supplied ideas which were to be followed in obtaining it. The seeds thus sown germinated in every fertile and fervid mind. Italy was then, and only then, prepared to take the final step for union and liberty. Modern Italy is really more indebted to Mazzini, the political philosopher, than to Garibaldi, the general. To enumerate the ideas that have influenced civilization would be to recite the history of the world. Although underlying ideas often keep in the background, what they have produced is magnificent to behold. The ideals of personal freedom common to the Teutonic peoples led the Englishman to demand that he be tried by an assembly of his peers. This idea, from which the jury system has grown, formed the nucleus of the political safeguards that have since been developed by the English-speaking races. Machiavelli set forth that the old monarchical system of government was crude, despotic, selfish, and unnatural. Belief in this principle was a step toward the formation of republican governments. Two centuries later Montesquieu expounded the theory that the different powers of government should be kept distinct, an idea that has profoundly in- IJaijc One Hundred Nine The Force of an Idea Continued fl une need our own political development. The culmination of the ideas governing the progress of political reform was the proposition that all men are created equal, which is so pregnant in its import that no man fully believing in its truth would tolerate any other than the republican form of government. These ideas are but links in the chain, yet distinct landmarks in the progress of political freedom. Again, it was but three centuries ago that an hnglish philospher propogated two ideas with which our present welfare is deeply concerned. Bacon said, first, that philosophy should serve humanity; second, that laws in sciences must be subject to proof by experience. 1 he result was to make philosophers scientists and to render abstract discoverers capable of concrete application. 1 hese two ideas established modern science on a firm basis. A new era unprecedented m prosperity and progress was thus inaugurated. Undoubtedly, the most general and beneficial idea m our heritage is that of immortality. It has always constituted the great moral force in the historv of mankind Ideas such as these, together with many others, have determined the course of history. In short, an idea is the highest product of the human mind. It is the greatest creative force in the human organism. Ideas have a kind of magnetic force which elicits order out of chaos. They are the leaven of the material world. 1 hey supply, the necessary impulse for right conduct to all humanity. The sublimest idea is a spark of the divine essence perfectly intangible and ineffable, and when we share the ideas of the ages, we are quaffing of the cup of divine justice and goodness. Pane One Hundred Ten The Unheard Of By Gladys R. DcHoncy, ’12 Note This story won thr Gold Modal in the School Literary Contwtt. IX A small village, shut off from the rest of the world by mountain ranges, there once lived a very eccentric old German, who had kept a shop almost since time immemorial, so tradition says, and who was noted for his untiring industry. The natives of the place even declared that the quaint old man neither ate nor slept, for no matter what time of day or night they chanced to pass his workshop, he could always be seen sitting on his workbench by the old cracked window pane, which had probably not been cleaned for some fifty odd years. There he would sit day in and day out bent over his work, with his forehead wrinkled up, and his small eyes squinting through a large pair of spectacles. He was not given to talking and it was vain even to try to get a few words out of him. ISenditto. a young man who had a confectionary store next door to him, often spent many an hour in the attempt. A pretty Irish maid found even her graceful ways and musical voice of no avail. He was no doubt the joke of the village. As to his past life nothing could be found out, and as to his present life this much was certain, that he was wrapped up in his work, soul and body, so that he had neither time to eat, sleep, nor say a word to his neighbors. No one ever passed his shop without speaking to him and on rare occasions he would respond with a gruff hello. Quite frequently, however, he would answer their salutations merely with a nod of the head and a queer sort of grimace, evidently intended for a smile. . The coming of night seemed to perplex him. If anyone ever chanced to pass his place when it was first beginning to grow dark, he would see the old man scurry away into the dark recesses of his shop and ret urn again almost immediately with a small candle in his hand. After lighting it and placing it in a queer sort of candle holder he would bend over his work again with renewed energy. Imagine the consternation that must have filled the villagers when they found his shop closed up tightly one morning. The door too was barred and there was not a sign of life behind it. At first there was the thought that he had overslept, but how could that be possible when they knew that it was not his custom to sleep. Ah! they were sure that that supposition was not so. when it grew to be ten and then eleven o’clock and still there were no signs of the old man. The people became alarmed and were excited almost to frenzy. Someone suggested that he might be ill. Another boldly asserted that he believed that his supposed malady had taken a sudden turn and that death had claimed him during the night. There could be no doubt about it, for the thing was unheard of and what else could have happened to him. Presently the pretty maid, who had often visited the old gentleman, and whose charms had been of no avail in the attempt to start a conversation with him, came running from her home across the street to learn Page One Hundred Eleven The Unheard Of Continued Why such a crowd had gathered in front of the place. Could she really have seen what she had been trying to make herself believe to be only a dream? Indeed, she would tell them at anv rate, for there was a bare possibility that it might throw some light upon the matter. Early in the morning she had been unable to sleep and had arisen to quiet her tired nerves. leaning out of her window to catch a breath of the cool morning air, she saw the flickering candle light from the old shop window, and thought that she heard the old man really humming some melody to himself. This had not surprised her for she knew as well as did the rest of the people that he worked both day and night. Here the girl took a deep breath and began again. Soon she saw the figure of a man come from down the street with something under his arm and stop at the shop. He called something to the old gentleman, which she was unable to make out, and immediately afterwards the door was opened and the man stepped in. Hv now she had completely gained the attention of the crowd, so eager were they to hear this marvelous tale, and all eyes were turned towards her excited countenance. After a few moments had elapsed the light within the shop went out and the two men came out, both with large bundles under their arms. The old man locked the door and then tried it to make sure that it was really locked. Then they started off down the street. They had not gone more than half a block, when they stopped a minute and then walked hurriedly back to the shop. There one of the men, she was unable to make out which one, stepped up to the door and what he did there she could not tell. However, she knew that they did not walk back there for no purpose whatever. Once more they started off and were soon out of sight. Xow she vowed and declared that she had witnessed this with her very own eyes and that her heart had beat so loud when watching them, that she wras afraid they w’ould hear it. But they had been unaware of the proximity of her detecting eye. As she explained all this, the strange man had compelled the old German to go with him and she was sure that he u as going to lead him away to some horrible robber's den and keep him prisoner for the rest of his life, and for w’hat purpose she was unable to explain. After this thrilling tale, for thrilling it was for the quaint, little, German man to leave his shop at such an unearthly hour in the morning accompanied by a strange man, whom they believed to be some villain, everyone began talking excitedly at the top of his voice. Each and every one had some new idea as to what harm was awaiting their German friend in the robber’s den. After the excitement had subsided a little, some cool-headed person suggested that they should appoint a committee to go at once to the police station several blocks away and present the case and tusk for help. So, shortly after, with a committee of three, the girl, flushed with excitement, set out for the police station in search of help. Upon reaching the place, the sergeant in charge asked what the trouble was, and soon the girl was repeating the tale, but with much more difficulty, for she was rather frightened at the size of the man and also at his stern face. After finishing the story, the sergeant questioned her some more, and bade an officer go accompanv them to the shop to find out whether or not there were any facts about the case. I age One Hundred T we Ire The Unheard Of Continued Upon reaching the place the officer tried the door. It was locked fast. At length he shook it several times and a piece of paper, which had been stuck in a crack, fluttered to the ground. Upon it were scrawled a few words, neither good English, German, nor any other language. The officer frowned as he tried to make out the inscription. What was it, a clue? It read thus: “Vent Do mine Brudders. The officer gave way to a burst of hearty laughter, for he suddenly remembered that a friend of his. whom the German patronized occasionally, had told him the day before that the old German had confided in him and told him that his brother was coming after him some day and take him home with him to spend the clay. In place of lying in some robber’s den a prisoner, as they had imagined, the old German was only taking a long carntd holidaofficer s expjanatj0n, all of the villagers shook with laughter at the thought of the German indulging in a holiday. His return was awaited for with impatience. He made his appearance late that evening much the same as usual except that he seemed perhaps a bit merrier than usual and possibly a bit unsteady on his legs. After having been told of the disturbance which his holiday had caused, he really spoke a few words for once in his life. _ T .. •, „ ‘I dink as it was besser as dat I go do no more holidays. It was doo ogsitetmg for you. I dink. Then the old man disappeared in the back part of his shop for a minute, returned as usual holding a candle in his hand, which he lighted and put in its proper place, and then set about his work with more energy than ever.

The large number of candidates made it necessary to trim down the list several times before really effective work could be accomplished. Certainly Central’s outlook appeared far better than it had previously. Mr. Touton was soon able to pick the men whom he deemed best fitted to try for the first team. Forthwith the regulars and the scrubs were organized. The line-up, though not decided, was practically certain before the opening of the league season. Hamilton and Reber, the only veterans on the squad, were the mainstays; Cheek, Woodbury, and Morse were their teammates. With enthusiasm at a high pitch following the organization of a rooters’ club, the “Ninety and Nine,” the pennant race was well begun with a onesided victory over the lowly Jay-hawkers.

Visions of another championship were already greeting our sight Then! Ah, then! Well Manual came. Exit Morse. The change at center seemed to demoralize the team, and three substitutes were put into the game which was finally lost by one point. Westport was then next disposed of rather easily, and the championship fight developed into a battle royal between the Crimson and the Blue and White. The old Central spirit arose. Despite the fact that the line-up was altered by the sickness of Morse, Central expected to win. Hamilton returned to center and Hurd took the forward position. The championship again seemed within our grasp. I .uck, fate, the rabbit’s foot, call it what you will, again deprived Central of the game by a solitary point. Sad to say, Westport repeated the dose a week later, thus tying Central for second place in the final standing. Early in the season it became apparent that center was the weak position of the team. There was plenty of material, but. experience was lacking. Captain Hamilton played a steady, brilliant game averaging four field goals in each of the league games. Woodbury did very well with the free throws, tossing eighty-two goals from one hundred CAPT.-ELKCT CHEEK. M2 Left Guard Page One Hundred Ttrenfy-one Review of the Basket BalFSeason -Continued MORSE, '13 Centur fifty-four fouls. A better pair of guards than Cheek and Reber would be hard to find on any high school team. These two held the opponents to thirteen fewer goals than Central scored and made fewer fouls than the opposition. The outlook for next year is not bad. Cheek and Reber will both be back. Morse should develop into the best center in the league in another year. If he fails, there are others who have shown up well. The places of Hamilton and Woodbury will, of course, be hard to fill.

Half Mil Review of the Track Season THIS year Central’s track chances looked good from the start.. Only one first placer of last year’s champions did not return to school. Thus it seemed that about all ‘Coach” Touton had to do to win another championship was to let things drift along. However “Coach”, being avariciously ambitious, wanted more than a mere championship; he wanted all the firsts, seconds, and thirds in sight. Therefore, he set to work to improve the old men and to develop new ones. Results show that he has almost accomplished his fondest hopes. In the only meet held so far. the Central-Westport Dual Meet, Central won with ease, Westport taking only three firsts and six seconds. New school records have already been made in three events, and more old ones are yet to fall before the season closes. In the dashes, Central can always be counted on to take several places. Todd, Slaughter, Norton, and Barber are all running the short dashes in close to record time. Todd is expected to have the best season of his brief, but brilliant career. Barber is especially good in the quarter, also. The Morse brothers (as usual) can not lose the long jogs, and Clayton finishes among the counters in both races. Ham” and Bonnie” skim the hurdles faster than ever. That means two places for the Blue and White every time the hurdles are set up. Brodie does the sticks well. In the jumps we have Slaughter, but he is not leaping in true form yet. Mclntire Page One Hundred Thirty Review of the Track Season HAMILTON, ’ll Hurdle Page One Hundred Thirty-one Continued boats him in tho high effort, and Renick outleaps him in the space attempt. Both these men can be relied on for secondary places in their events. The vault is capably taken care of by Hurst, who does ten feet or more when necessary. In the weights “Bonnie” has already broken two school records, and is sure of three firsts in all local meets. “Bean” and Zwart will throw the weights for some few points, too. Our relayers have won their races by yards. Central is almost certain of points in every event of any meet. Central has the best track team of her athletic history. RBBER. '12 ilurdln, Broad Jump.

Time waits not for or beast (including all Freshmen), hence, September arrived. otill, there was joy in our hearts to be back chasing round in the old halls, communing with the old books, and hunting the old excuses. “Work {.le and think less , was our motto, and we nearly always managed to live up to it Yet, the weather was hot, the lessons long, the teachers exacting, and our brains rusty. 0 b,rd eyelashes and fried canary tongues”, as our friend blias, 09, used to say, there was a rumpus in the lunch room that second morning. I he tears flew from my eyes as my melancholy gaze rested upon the ignorant b reshmen waiting at the tables to give their orders. The alarmed expression of surprise and pain when they learned to cut their apron strings and wait upon themselves was enough to make one’s heart ring. Hardly less noisily than the first year boys “making for” the lunch room and bean soup (they don’t like pie, it makes their ears so mussv), was the scramble in the society rooms on that first Friday. Such hand shaking eyebrow lifting, and gavel beating would surprise a suffragette council confab . Sophomores became the coveted flesh pots of Egypt during the next two weeks. Such tightened lips and cool nods as the 'Stonians snatch a particularly rough diamond from the “Shakes”, while the Websters were threatening to “call out” the S. L. H’s. for picking a possible “dark But all such petty jealousy vanished in the general longing for an assembly. Most of the I reshmen had their seats by the twentieth and all were impatient. ’Mr- Porter, the London Olympic high jump champion, ap-the hero of the hour. With “bated breath” wonder if this looks fine), the athletic aspirants gazed at the slides he showed. Never mind. Harold, perhaps you will jump to the moon some day. Finally peared as like a fish Page One H undred Forty October 0 you hobble! One tried to do the sack race and fell up the stairs. On the fourth was organized the Auburn Organization (which is French for Red-headed Club). John Reber was unanimously elected Chief Flamer, and Glen Carbaugh by voting for himself became the High Efficient Collector of Carbonate of Calcium. Group leaders for the purpose of recruiting their special shades were elected as follows: Joe Lawson, burnt sienna; Paul Lockwood, vermillion; Viva Perdue, crimson; Edward O’Hara, scarlet; Clarence Reber, carmen; and Louise Bronston, burnt gold. We would advise that they keep their minutes on asbestos and meet in a fire-proof room. Did you notice the kid curlers on the Fourth? We should think those P. 0. P. float girls would wear night caps or something so that we wouldn’t know the curls were not natural. Vacation on the fifth so that the popcorn boys could recuperate and their mouths return to their normal size after being stretched by much yelling. On the twentieth, John Cheek and Robert Todd resolve to get revenge because they could not get into the Auburn Organization, even though they did try Easter egg dyes. They formed the Silence Club, with the motto of “Mum’s the word”; John being the High Mumtiferous Mute and Robert the Mumbly Mush-mouthed Tongue-tier. All large-lunged, basso-prof undos eligible. Sh! On the twenty-eighth a basket ball game between the Seniors and Freshmen resulted in a score of 23-5 against the yearlings, and the Junior-Sophomore game ended 13-10 in favor of the latter. The assembly on the thirty-first was a pot-pourri in which piano, violin, vocal (by a Freshman boy cherub if such exist), solos were conglomerated. Two months of school gone. Page One Hundred Forty-one November Football is dead” at Central, but, Basket ball is living, and is quite healthy After several interclass basket ball games were played the B. B. Bug took possession of the school. Not only was there a first and a second team, but boy’s and girl’s interclass teams were organized. Even the societies and clubs deserted their pedestals for the game. To show what they could do, the Websters invited the Ions from Manual over for a scrap- the Ions won. The S. L. H.’s thought they would be polite and generous, and so invited all the societies to an open session. Those that were invited enjoyed some dandy fudges. Also some foxy individuals who weren’t invited enjoyed themselves and the S. L. H. candy. The Jayhawk and the Tiger had another scrap on Thanksgiving. After chewing and picking the rag for some hours or less, the animals got tired and quit. It was rumored about that two silly Juniors (girls, of course) bet on the game. The loser was to roll a peanut round the track with her nose. Just the luck that the score had to be a tie. If Captain Thatcher had been slicker about holding that Jayhawk, or “Tod” had made a touchdown, we might have seen that peanut race. Such is the will of fate, and we fold our mils and sigh. Talking about sighing, we can smell that turkey, those oysters, and that sauce yet. The board of Education knew better than to call school on Friday. After the excitement of vacation “eats” (ask Clarence what they are), and football had somewhat subsided, the high monkey-monks of the gym” held an election at which the long distance runner came in with colors flying, and the title of C'aptain was added to his ordinary cognomen. In short, Rupert was elected track captain. t Page One Hundred Forty-1 wo December “If music be the food of love ” William Horatio was heard softly to quote when the professionals from the green house of music entertained us in assembly on the fifth. We hardly had time to dry our tears caused by the pathetic wail of the violin and ’cello when “spirits” up and mitred the Mt. Washington ghosts 34-22 in a rousing (?) basket ball game. Home talent in the disguise of a couple (of girls • from the music class performed for us in our next assembly. Mr. D. R. Porter of the Y. M. C. A., then told us about Oxford and tea. Rather mean of him to describe all those good stuffings when even the turkey hash from thanksgiving was gone. Well, say, those William Jewell Sophs must be diamonds (in the rough). They successfully did the trick and pulled the rag of the score. In short, as Mr. Micawber would say (for we have to make this literary in spite of association with the athletic editor's slang), we were beaten, 31-24. By the way, we discovered that Joe has read Tolstoi's “Last Days of Pompeii and has red hair. Incidentally that Alumni game was a joke, the point being 59-17 in favor of our present basket ball scrappers. Another ass mbly occurred on the nineteenth at which the middle figure of the four hundred gave an exhibition. After the S. L. H. debate, we wondered if Frank didn’t say with the celebrated Frenchman, “If the facts contradict my theories, so much the worse for the facts.” How rattled the multifarious money as the luminiferous Luminary came out on the twentieth! Basket ball practice occupied the time of many “thusly” inclined. A slight interruption in much strenuous practice being occasioned by the brilliancy of Mr. Todd’s hosiery. We wondered where his fancy for red and green originated. The first interscholastic basket ball game and the Christmas play both on the same night! Both were stelliierous performances. Truly it may be said of our matinee hero, “He hath a heart as sound as a bell and his tongue the clapper.” Christmas vacation began on the twenty-third. Skiddoo! Page One Hundred Forty-three January After yawning out the ancient year, and dragging in the infant, we returned to our famous institution of concentrated knowledge on the second. Hardly had we caught our breath when the Flunkers’ Club held its annual meeting on the south fire excape. Fired by the unmerciful grind of vacation, they unanimously resolved to save the midnight oil, economize on pencils, paper, ink, and pens, and forever refrain from the intoxicating madness of study. A highly erudite lecture on the “Wondrous F was delivered by the Clrand Master Flunker. The meeting was adjourned because of the yowling of some neighborly cats which prevented the sergeant-at-arms from snoring. Who says Westport can come back? After the fourteenth we’d just like to see the guy who ever even insinuated that they could. We just up and chugged ’em in the mug (or, biffed ’em in the noodle, whichever you prefer), anyway, we won, thirty-five to twenty-six. Music must be edifying to our souls for our only assemblies during the month were musical. Rudolph King, Miss Nentwig and Mr. Springer entertained our ears, then on the thirtieth Mr. Wallis filled our souls with lovely sounds. Horror of Horrors! “A Daniel has come to judgment.” Exams arrived in all their force and fury. Words fail us. The cards came out. Hurry, get the microscope and look for the E’s. Was that an echo, “My kingdom for and E!” New terms and confusion. The glory of a passing grade faded and frivolity reigned. In the scramble before examinations we forgot to mention the insignificant fact of a glorious victory over K. C., K. Of course, they were totally eclipsed (sounds like the silvery moon , from the beginning, but just for exercise we let the score run up to thirty-one and nineteen. Furthermore, any month in the year our advertisers like to see results. You don’t know what is in the back of this book until you look. Page One Hundred Forty-four r ■ February Society programs! The Aristonian Literary ( lub made its bow on the sixth in assembly. 0 bunch of glorious, giggling, chattering girls.

O ves. we were to tell you of their program on the twentieth. Our suggestions would be to put more white paint on the ghost and get Kerfort some stilts or Jimmie a dress and sets of “rats” and curls. Hardly had we recovered from the petrifying effects of the wondrous W:ebster chorus when the Cecilian Hub and Orchestra bm t upon the stage and our dazzled view. I.et it be here said that the ( ecilian ( lub wants it thoroughly understood now, forever, eternally, and through the postscript of time that they are in no way. fashion, mind, or voice connected with the Choral Hub. To their program, though, for we wander from our beaten thought. Many choruses, solos, pieces (pardon me. “readings”), and instrumental numbers edified and educated our tastes. We forgot to say in the chronological line that the Freshmen were so disappointed over not receiving valentines, that we recommend to the Janitor’s Council to establish a valentine post office for the youngsters. We also recommend the fire chute as the place. O felicitate! How we wish more great men entered the world. Please, somebody, chop down a cherry tree and don t fib about it. I he heights are lonely. Join Washington. Enter the ranks of your llli tnous forefathers and emulate their glory. After all has been said and done.

Another assembly on the thirteenth at which the Latin shiners went on dress parade. Some doings in another assembly on the sixteenth. That man from Pennsylvania was some talker. 0 you mule! Push! Then all those debaters from Westport and our menagerie, too. No fourth hour! We like assemblies. Even the athletic editor’s slang fails to express our feelings concerning the seventeenth. We just couldn’t study or listen to any teacher. Westport and Manual surely got the wrong end of that mule. Another assembly and much talking. The S. L. H.’s open a “Box of Monkeys” in assembly on the twentieth, and Bert tells how to win a girl—any significance? Luminary came out on the twenty-first completed our ten days of excitement. The Freshmen’s nerves so nearly gone that they hardly stood the shock of Madame De Arman’s piano performance at the assembly of the twenty-seventh. Most we’ve done is assemble and dissemble. Athletes become heroes on the thirtieth. Junior election gives Morse presidency, Walter Brown the vice-presidency, Freeman Havig-hurst secretaryship, John Reber treasurership and John Cheek, sergeant-at-Arms, while the basket ball election made John Cheek captain for 1912. Wonder if tomorrow you will be an April Fool. i [Page One Hundred[Forty-six r i r April Shiver-my-timbers, but that track meet on the seventh was a shaker! The track was muddy, the wind was cold, the crowd was small, the park was big, the seats were empty. In fact, when our Central spirit saw the marble-like “goose bumps” on the participants, he shook so that even the speck of spectators shivered and shook. Never mind, Madame De Arman was a good soothing syrup. We wish we could have her in assembly often. (No fourth hour Sh.) On the eighteenth dope came out respecting the winners in the Annual Literary Contest. Things looked mighty good for the winners. No “forty-niner” in his most frenzied moment ever had such visions of gold and silver as floated in the atmosphere surrounding the proud and haughty individuals who were Its” in the preliminaries. Such vacant stares and mumbled “I don't knows” that teachers received on Friday morning would make the most accomplished mathematician doubt that “the grade of a pupil varies inversely as the square of the distance from the teacher.” The night of the twenty-first was the most nerve racking one we ever went through. Lavender, purple, red, green, yellow, black, and blue banners and streamers disturbed the air, while shrieks of Aristoman, “Central”, “S. L. H”, Webster”, Minerva”, Shakespeare , resounded until the fond parents wondered if they had not strayed into an academy for the weak-lunged during practice hour. Johnny, W illie, Sue, and Matilda rent the air and pounded the stage with their magical orations, debate, and pieces”. Then, as if by magic, “silence reigned supreme . You know the rest -W ebster grabbed Slatche” and pranced down for first place, Shakespeare seized Minerva and gathered second, while Violet and the Large One scrapped for third. Yells, smiles, hand shakes, and heartburns finished the evening. Next year well, just wait and see. The twenty-fourth marked the advent of the supercilious Glees”. Say, we wonder who made Jimmie’s hobble. We advise that the middle gather string of the plaiting fichu be drawn to a more Parisian fit.

COBB, Southwestern Passenger Agent, Kansas City, Missouri Page One Hundred Sixty A Definite Text in Sewing and Drafting for Class Room Work The American System of Dressmaking lias been prepared by experienced, practical dressmakers, working jointly with practical teachers, experienced both in high school and college work. The system is being recognized as the most comprehensive and complete for class room work that has been published, and is fast being introduced into high schools, academies and colleges offering courses in Domestic Science and Art. The Washington City Librarian recently stated in a letter to us that he had difficulty in finding suitable text books on this particular subject. Later on, in acknowledging receipt of the American System he said: “This system is one which will be of great value to the Library, as it contains more information and much more detail in accessible form than any which we have at present. ” The American System of Dressmaking is an independent proportion system which does not deprive either teacher or pupil of her individuality, a criticism often justly offered against the old style mechanical chart systems. The American System of Dressmaking is clear, concise, thorough and scientific. It contains over 400 printed pages, 6x9 inches, with 200 illustrations in half-tone and line engravings, showing how every feature of the work is to be done. It also includes tailor’s square and model drafts. The simple but charming school frocks here shown serve to illustrate the character of work being done by our students. Veafheri of sewing are invited to write or eal! for special terms to schools and colleges introducing tie American System. American College of Dressmaking 1508-1530 Commerce Bldg. Kansas City, Mo.
