SPANISH SPANISII I. Une Unit. llhxs ls an elementary course Ill the principles ol Spamsh Grammar. Drill on pronunciation, forms, and syntax, with frequent exercises in the rendition of easy sentences into Spanish, and the sight-reading of easy Spanish, form the basis of the course. SPANISII II. One Unit. ln this course the s stematic study of Spanish Grammar is continued, and tfie reading of nlore advanced texts is undertaken, with a view to the acquisition of a good reading knowledge of the language. Frequent practice in both prose composition and conversation develop in the student the familiarity with the S Janish idiom, necessary for more advanced courses in the language which he may later pursue in college. ART ART. One Unit. This course includes free-hand drawing and sketching, crayon drawing, work with water colors and tempera, and other forms of drawing and painting. The subject matter and the work done are adjusted to the particular needs, talents, and abilities of the class. . FLYING SCHOOL Through affiliation with the Mexico Flying Service, MMA is able to offer cadets a complete course in actual flying. This course is given at the Mexico Airport, an approved Iield, one mile east of the Academy campus. It is under direct government supervision and leads to a Private Pilot's License. Cadets are enabled to take this course in connection with their regular academic subjects. GUIDANCE AT M.M.A. Realizing that the adolescent years of a boy's life are the formative years when his character is molded and his attitudes and habits are lixed, the Missouri Military Academy has organized and instituted a complete guidance program which reaches out to each individual boy in an effort to provide sympa- thetic understanding and advice concerning his problems while a cadet, and to assist him in making a decision regarding a future vocation in terms of his needs, interests, abilities, and opportunities. When each cadet is regarded as a unique human being, the need for individual attention and an in- dividualized program becomes more apparent. With this fact in mind, the guidance program at MMA is administered by a group of men highly trained by study and experience in the problems of young men, to the end that each boy is given in- dividual and careful attention, helping him to make his own decisions in the problems which confront him. In order that we may serve best the individual needs of the cadet it is necessary that we may be able to answer the following questions concerning him: I. Out of what background does he come? 2. What is his present status academically, physically, socially, and culturally? 3. What does he want to do? What are his interests and his goals? 4. What can he do? What are his strengths, his limitations, and his opportunities? 5. What experiences should be made available to him? Guidance at MMA, then, is concerned with the direction ol growth in terms of: guidance from what, ffuidance to what, and uidance throu h what. e S g To tl1is end a series of questionnaires and 'tests is given to each cadet at regular intervals to deter- mine his aptitudes, abilities, interests, and achieve- ments in the various fields of his activity here at MM A These include, amon others, the Hen- . .. , , g , mon-Nelson and the Terman-MeNemar Tests of Mental Ability, the Stanford Achievement Test, the Iowa Silent Reading Test, the Tyler-.Kimber Study Skills Tests, the llcrnrcuter Personality In- ventory, the Foust-Schorling Test of Functional Thinking in Mathematics, the Social Usage Test, various tests of physical ability, and for the senior class., thc American Council on Education Psy- chological lCxamination and the Kuder Preference Record. These tests, coupled with a careful obser- vation and study of each cadet, give complete and authoritative information about each boy which is used in a personal, kindly, and understanding way to enrich his experiences here and to provide him with a well-integrated personality in later life. NO COLLEGE WORK MMA provides a post-graduate course for stu- dents who desire additional work to prepare for business or for college, but no college work is given. .lt is the lirm belief of the Academy that the inclu- sion of students of college age and experience tends to rob boys of high school age of many opportunities to develop their initiative and leadership. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Three years of elementary school work is required for admission to the Junior School. The require- ments .for admission into the Upper School are the satisfactory completion of the elementary school course as given in the MMA Junior School, or else- where. at ft' A recent graduate speaks at the annual initiation banquet of Delta Phi, honorary organization for top students. Only boys of good character are admitted to either department of the Academy, and those not amena- ble to a kindly, humane system of discipline are not acceptable. The Academy reserves the right to refuse admission to any applicant, and to re- quire the withdrawal of any cadet when such with- drawal is for the best interest of the institution. ADVANCED STANDING Students may enter either the Junior or Senior School with advanced standing provided their credits made elsewhere are satisfactory. A statement of all work done in other schools, together with the grades made and the credits earned, should be sent to the Academy by the principal, or by some other person in authority at the school last attended. RELIGION MMA is strictly non-sectarian but thoroughly Christian. All cadets are required 'to attend church services every Sunday morning. They attend the denomination to which they belong, or, if not regular church members, they go to the church of their preference. Sickness alone will excuse a cadet from attending church. VESI-'ERS-Each Sunday evening all cadets attend their own beautiful and inspiring vesper services in which the whole cadet corps takes part. These vesper services emphasize dignity and beauty in form of worship, reverence for religious ideals, and training in moral courage. LEAVES OF ABSENCE For the best interest of all the cadets it is impera- tive that furloughs be restricted to the regular periods. The experience of many years has gone into the .formulation of our furlough policy which is summarized below.
