ANU IME UPPMHIIINIIY MMA IMFEHS HIM N all the world there's no other boy just like your boy. Heis absolutely unique from his head to his feet, because countless mental, moral, and physical characteristics, inherited and acquired, clearly and permanently distinguish him from all other boys. These differ- ences, which temper his likes and dislikes, and influence his aims and ambitions, comprise his very own personality. These attributes, now ready for development into the flower of manhood, require recognition, sympathetic understanding, and intelligent direction. It is to this individuality of your boy that the Missouri Military Academy especially appeals, earnestly and incessantly. Your boy wants to be himself-a duplicate of no one and for- ever inimitable-and M. M. A. knows that he must be, if he is to discover and develop all of his hidden talents, and attain the highest plane of his mental, moral and physical powers. The Academy offers your boy the opportunity for the all-around development of his own individual personality. It provides a faculty of trained men who will carefully note his talents and tendencies, and encourage his dawning abilities, an excellent environment to inspire him colrtinuouslyg and a program designed to fill his every need. M. M. A. offers your boy both the chance and the incentive to lift himself above the common level of life and rise to a place of outstanding achievement-to become the splendid speci- men of thoughtful, honorable, and courageous young manhood you and he have dreamed he will become.

QD U'a 4 HHMINISIHHIIUN., as Of paramount importance to you in the selection of the right school for your boy is the kind of men with whom he will be associated while away from home--the men who will plan the pro- grams under which he will live, play, and learn, and the men who will supervise his every activity-the officers of administration and the men who comprise the school's faculty. Every administrative officer and faculty member at the Missouri Military Academy is unusually well qualified for his particular position through years of training and practical experience. Each is scholarly, a good teacher, and a man of strong moral character. Each is a highly successful specialist in boy life and training. Yet each is young enough to get close to boys and to understand their innermost problems. And all are willing and able to give every boy sympa- thetic and intelligent direction at all times and in all matters. These faculty officers live close to the boys at M. M. A. and impart influences of unquestionably great and lasting value. l. Q. 1 2 Vlfqlls.-an NWWP! fi, C CLel't, seatedl Major Chester M.
