Blacksmithing and Farm Engines f f H5 QLD .FTM Hays HCS' wal Bwldme has been ',,, used for the past elCVCH years to house the division of the Aft? Department work which includes E arm Blacksmithing, and Farm Engines. Cn account of the site being needed for the Sheridan Coliseum the old building familiarly known as the Incuba- tor, has again been moved. It is now do- ing duty in the iAgricultural Department as a real incubator for the work in Poultry. The Earin Blacksmithing and Farm En- gines were the first departments to find quarters in Sheridan Coliseum. The en- - tire ground Hoor on the north is now given over to the work. The East room is fitted up for a blacksmith shop. Four of the small stationary engines are also in the room. The West room ,houses the farm tractors and at present the Normal Iitney. Two companies have donated engines for demonstration work. The Case Co, has sent t t wo ractors. The I. H. C., The Avery and the Emerson companies have sent one each. We now have ad t of the work. THOMAS M. Woon, BS. Professor Farm Engines and ' Blacksmithing equa e room and equipment for the presentation The work in cement construction gives opportunity to become familiar with the testing and mixing of cement, the making of forms and the various uses for which it may be used by the farmer. T This department believes every farm should have a shop in which the farm machinery can be repaired. A forge and gas engine should be a part of this equipment. Many students having taken the work of this department have built shops in which they have shar en d th l I g . p e , e p owshares and done practically all black- snuthing required on the farm. The gasoline engine is being used by the farmer for so many purposes that a knowledge of its construction and operation is necessar Q h . u y. ur equipment makes it 'possible for the student to get practical knowledge and experience in the oper- ation of a variety of engines in both stationary and traction types. The full equipment for a farm electric li l l i ' git p ant is on the ground. This will be properly installed as soon as the new building is completed.

SMITH, A.B., A.M. EDWIN DAVIS, BS. Professor Manual Arts Assistant Professor Science and Manual Arts y HE law of life is growth. Thus this department is very much . Yrslz V alive. Since last Reveille there have been added a new double arbor power sawing machine with five horse power motor to drive it and a twelve inch planner and jointer with a three horse- l' ? power motor drive. The drafting room, while crowded in with the bench room, has had built by loyal students, twelve drawing cabinets with four drawers and a cupboard to each. I In the early part of the year much of the activity in this de- partment was turned into the erection of the two story Normal Building on the Fair Grounds which was completed i11 eighteen days and remains a credit to the achievements of those who do things. I Not the least in the growth of the Manual Arts Department has been the addition of an assistant, Mr, Davis, a former student and alumnus. His work ' has filled the northwest room, expanded into the neighboring rooms and corridors, 11 and is still spreading. Some of the results of former years are showing up in the confidence with which students tackle a stiff undertaking. The ice house, the poultry house, the gardensrls cottages have been built by student labor upon their own initiative. Many letters and personal visits from former wood workers now in the field are received at this office attesting the popularity of this branch of education. The boys who are out are making good and taking high rank with those who secure the b est positions. . Page Tfwenty-three .

Organization -'ai' 5f1.?s3,- A13-.T . , L has already been com- pleted and over 100 stu- dents are now enrolled in the various courses. I Majors as Well as minors are offered in order that the prospective teachers may the more fully specialize themselves in vari- ous phases of rural life and industry. VVestern Kansas is purely a rural re- gion. There is not a single city in the entire r area of forty thousand square miles. So far as at present known there is nolarge ex- tent of mineral vvealth upon which manu- facturing industries can ever be built. For this reason urban life can never flourish. All the people at present get their living either directly or almost directly from the farm. They are concerned first and last with those problems arising out of the activities of the small village and the open country. The bulk of teachers trained at the Fort Hays Kansas Normal School must look forvvard to filling vacancies in rural schools. Their real and lasting success in their calling will depend upon how efficient they may be in helping the farmer and the small village merchant solve his pressing social and economic problems. y This department proceeds upon the assumption that it is the business of every man or Woman to be a useful citizen in the community in which he or she may happen to be located. After that, he may earn his living through the medium of such occupations as teaching school, selling dry goods, managing an agricultural plant, or rendering aid to the afflicted. Callings are created by the public in order that it may be served and not for the purpose of insuring some candidate an income, The Work of this department touches very closely that of the departments of Agriculture, Home Economics, Sociology and History. The interest of the students enrolled has thus far been gratifying and the results achieved are vvell worth while. The outlook is all that could be desired. .x-.-4 A.. tc ,--,L 1,.:Q1,y1.r2 Tk' 1-avg v:::.mwas:e.k 'kfbiwh lXlILLARD CRANE, BS., MS.
