M. M. A. has its own heating system which provides abundant clean, steam heat for every room twenty-four hours each day. And it has its own modern water system which consists of a deep, artesian well, and large storage tanks. Frequent tests made of the water show it to be unusually pure and healthful. It is circulated to all buildings. Two beautiful dining rooms, one for the Junior School and one for the Senior School, provide excellent meals which are prepared under the most sanitary as well as scientific methods in a large central kitchen. A great variety of food is served on well-balanced menus. Other conveniences located right on the campus include a modern barber shop, a well-equipped hospital, an excellent tailor shop, a student store where clothing, toilet articles, school supplies, athletic equipment and articles may be purchased, a canteen, where candies, ice cream, and fruits may be obtained, a student bank, and a student post office. These are open at specified hours each day. fLef0 The M. M. A. Canteen-the most popular recreational center on the campus. .. 4l'v M., ' Mu , f - ,' 4. u 1, 'F h x ik'i'l2'5inH'.f in A M . E I K !

A. your boy will be a member of a large, well regulated group of young men living in close daily association with men who have chosen the profession of teaching as their life's work. He will not be pampered, petted, or spoiledg but he will be given that sympathetic under- standing which is so essential to the growing boy as he comes to grip with realities for the first time. Each boy will be given his own standard for achievement--a standard reached after a careful study of the innate capacities and abilities of each one. This program of self- achievement is based upon the best known principles of psychology as it eliminates many of the evils of the competitive system. IIEIIEVES IN IHI HIIPI NI IIIEINNHII NIIIHEII NHNN IHE IENII NI PNNISHMENI The idea behind all discipline at M. M. A. is to teach self- discipline-the discipline which comes from within. We be- lieve that all young people are fundamentally fair and honest and goodg and it will always be our constant endeavor to bring out that best in every one. Years of experience have taught us that boys work for honors and privileges than through fear of punishment. Thus we have evolved a complete system of awards and rewards which stim- ulate and inspire them to their best efforts. Punishment, when found necessary, is mild and firm yet certain and constructive.
