This Institution was founded for that purpose. Because of its unique position in the educational field, its students have been obliged to overcome the prejudices existing against “The new education”; they have been missionaries in the educational field, and have had the inspiration of martyrs. On account of this, the alumni and the students have caught the spirit and imbibed the ideals of the Institution, which probably has drawn them closer together than is the case of the alumni of most schools. We are proud of the record of our alumni. They are teaching and directing industrial work in the public schools in all parts of the country. They are preaching the gospel, “Education for Efficiency.” The alumni who return now find many changes in the State Manual Train- ing Normal. The building in which the school opened was an old one, once occupied by the High School, and which was loaned by the city until a more suitable habita- tion could be secured. It must be admitted that this was not a very imposing structure, but when the apparatus for Manual Training was installed it served the purpose very nicely until the completion of the new building. The Normal now has an enrollment of about ten hundred and seventy-five with a faculty of thirty. Although young, we point with pride to the history of our school which consists not so much in a long list of achievements, though she can boast her share, as to the army of earnest, young men and women she is sending out, who after all, are the real history makers. We who love the old S. M. T. N., who glory in the results which she has accommplished, are yet looking forward to greater things, are always saying, “Build thee more stately mansions.” o MUSIC ,tment H. O. «'° OGICA.� - 12 Department of Domestic Science In this age of specialization and practical application of knowl- edge there is a demand for special and distinctive training for women in education. This requirement is being met by introduc- ing into educational systems courses of study pertaining to home life. The purpose of a course in domestic science is, (1) to dignify and make attractive the workings of the home; (2) to fit young women practically for homekeepers; (3 to furnish scien- tific and esthetic training. The Normal Domestic Science Course consists of instruction pertaining to all phases of the home, cor- related with such subjects as will elucidate the problems of the home and furnish professional training for teaching.

I The Department of English, under the charge of Miss Ermine Owen, is one oWiie strong features of the S. M. T. N. The efficient work done in this depart- ment has contributed no small share to the growth of the institution. In this department, classes in English and American literature, Elocution, Grammer, and Literary criticism are taught. For the first year the work in elocution consists of life study and imperson- ations, the characters of this being taken from standard literary works. For the advanced courses, the studies are taken from the scenes in the classic dramas, especially those of Shakespeare. In addition to the regular work of this department, Miss Owen has charge of the training of the contestants for the inter-society contests in declamations, debate, oration and dramatic art. The recitals given this year clearly demonstrate the excellent training which the pupils received from this department. Clay Modeling Department. The work of this department consists of the copying of plaster models of classic ornament, animal forms, and the human figure; also original work in modeling from life, or photograph. Relief-modeling and lettering for cover de- signs and artistic advertising give this line of work a commercial value. The pottery is both hand built and wheel-thrown. Firing, glazing and plas- ter-molding combine the idea of utility with that of ornamentation. Wood-carving is another line of artistic handicraft. The carvings are de- signed for use in furniture and for architectural purpose? • The object of the work in this department is the training of hand and eye in in the development of artistic ability. 20 THE MACHINE SHOP THE FORGE ROOM 21 Manual Training — Industrial Training There seems to exist a peculiar conception of the true relation of manual and industrial training to the general scheme of education. The manual iraining idea was conceived in live workshop; used as a means of ee nomically developing industrial skill and training, and the purpose was purely economic. The idea was nothing more than analyzing industrial processes; reducing them to their “elements. letting each element represent a principle in construction or a method in using a tool or machine� . Manual training Is really the n-b-r’s of industriis or commercial production, and nr sill mechanical processes must be learned, and necessarily some method used in imparting this information to those taught, the manual idea was developed. After being thoroughly rested, it was adapted and used as a means of teaching apprentices tin- «dements of a trade, thereby economizing in time and material over the old way ap pront k eohlp. It is readily seen that manual training is the educational process, preparing th«r stt dent lor industrial work, while industrial training Is the specializing upon a given line of work after lira elementary processes have been ktirned, a.nd by actively engag- ing in the pursuit of this special line of work or trade, acqujr • the rapidity of produc- tion. and tlie skill necessary to meet tin demands made upon the p« rson following that particular trade. Industrial training lias for its purpose the direct and special training that leads to one line of commercial production, and really is closely related to the methods of the trade school. The public schools In appropriating the manual idea from the workshop, took the broad view that our school system must meet the needs of the great mass of students. Their best interests were advanced by giving them a course ««f work that mould expand their mechanical abilities, and by putting them in touch with the indus- trial world. Iiy having them use tools and materials, carry them through tire years of the early school life to the age of Judgement, prepared either to select their Ufa work from the trades, or go into other fields of endeavor with the added culture that comes irom the mastery of tools and materials. In some quarters there is a belief that manual training as a branch of the school course, has for its chief purpose the production of a few useful or ornamental articles by the student that by installing a few work benches and Supplying a Pew tools, r.r thing more is needed to carry on a successful course in manual training. Often we hear ««f the janitor of the school or some untrained person being put in charge of the manual work. Production rather than instruction seems to satisfy the demand in iraTiy places. If I rightly understand the purpose of the state of Kangas in support- ing and maintaining the State Manual Training Normal School, it was for the purpose of preparing teachers capable of installing equipments and properly teaching the man uui and kindred branches, ns well as the academic branches. This school is supposed to supply the d« niand for manual ten elvers, and if we are to fulfill the function « f our mission, we must give our students the most th««rough instruction, give tlie broadest training possible, and create a standard that shall be recognized all over our slate, and even have an Influence beyond the bounds of our state. There can lie no high standard, when it is left to the untrained and untaught person to take charge of the manual work. The lime should not be far away wh n only specially prepared persons shall give manual instruction. As the educational standards have advanced so materially in the past few years, our school must take its place in the front ranks, and be judged by its products, the teachers we send into tin field. 'j he lust legislature appmpriated $50.000.00 foT an Industrial building for th use of our manual department. Plans are being made to have tire manual depart- ment complete in every detail. With larger quarters, with increased equipment, and by th • addition of several new branches of manual work we will bo in position to give the right kind of instruction to our young nun, mi that they can take the important positions in tlie school world. 1 may not be out of place to add. that no person aspiring to tench manual train- ing. can hope to be held in high 'esteem, who negkets tlie academic work, and who thinks that tool instruction is the only requirement in teaching this branch. No greater mistake can be made. More and more is emphasis being placed upon the broad gen- •erul training that can only come from the study of both the academic and manual branch -s. It is tlie Intention to demand of our students the most thorough prepara- tion along both lines. The State Manual Training Normal School shall stand tor th.- best, and the students best welfare. Intellectually, roomily and physically shall be its aim A. M. BUMANN, Director of Manual Training. 22 2J 24 I’.. .

M. T. N. campus might rightfully be consid- ered one of the school’s real educational advantages. For certain it is that there is no branch of learning a college course can offer, the mastery of which leads so surely to contentment and consequent usefulness in life, as does the development of the faculty for truly appreciating the teachings of Nature. Fortunate indeed is the student to whom the rare opportunity to acquire so rich a gift is so freely given every day. There is always something beautiful to be seen on the 8. M. T. N. campus. First the happy couple that strolls over its green velvety carpet, enjoying the cool and refreshing breeze of the southerly wind on their way to the grand- stand, and then comes the loud and noisy Modelette on his way to the track; each unconscious that they are enrolled upon a course of study. Hut how can they be blamed for seeking such a: beautiful place. Indeed, if there is one time above all others that the campus is beautiful it is on a bright, clear morning when bathed in the glorious sunshine. Then how brilliantly green are the trees and grass, how fresh and clear sound the merry voices of the students! What a splendid picture of beauty and life and joy it is! That such a sight as this must have some effect upon every person who beholds it is inevitable. Our every association in life, whether we realize it or not. leaves an impression wi ll us somewhere, and if the association is one that we love, we will come in time to partake of its nature. There is a quaint and beautiful story of a boy who gazed so long and reverently upon a phenom- enon of Nature—the Great Stone Face—that liis features came to resemble its features and his heart was filled with the benignity and wisdom which it taught him. In a like manner the inspiring sights which on all sides surround Ihe 8. M. T. N. student may leave their imprint upon his soul—and in time, if his love is great, he may become imbued with some of the might and endurance of his hills, some of the “infinite tenderness” of his sky. Call Again Pres. Hill—Your campus is rather pretty, Mr. Russ, but it looks a bit bare yet. Prin. Russ—Oh yes! The trees are a bit young. I hope they will have grown to a good size before you come again! ATH LETICS 8o OFFICERS OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CJjARA peatrs L. E.

Unto all be it known that this is the ‘’Cap.” We call him •‘Cap. but the girls all call him Willie. But his right name is Bill. Now ‘'Bill was the funniest man of the bunch, but that didn’t help his opponents any; as a matter of fact Bill's worst habit was breaking through—a grievous fault Indeed. In the line Bill always blocked his man and put him out of com- mission. lie played with a vim and an ease that few players possess. DANA REED, Right Halfback, lit. 5ft-9. wt. 117. The official ram rod of the team. As a bundle of nerve wrapped up in muscle, he would smash into anything just so he got his man. With head bent low and motions close together he fairly hurled himself through the opposing line toward the goal. And many there were who pursued him hut few there be who found him. ED DUDLEY, Fullback. Iit. «ft-l. wt. 115. Ole Skyarsen of Slwash fame is not in it with this mod- ern Ichabod. With the pigskin clutched tightly to his breast and his frir red hair flonting in the gridiron breeze, he went through holes like a snake through the grass. Now Dud was acknowledged to be the ground-gainer of the team and was elected captain for next year. It Is also whispered that----. Goodbye Dud. 84 HOWARD CROWELL, Right End. Ht. 5ft-10. wt. 143. Now be it truthfully said of “Pat” that not one touchdown was ever made around his end. His face was his protection. •'To stiff arm, or not to stiff arm” was the classic” soliloquy of Pat.” He also delivered the goods commonly called the for- ward pass. It is also whispered that Pat is a success as a ladies’ man: that is—when he cares to be. But his favorite pie is Cherry.” CANDY TROUT. Center. Ht. 5ft-ll. wt 159. He is the old standby center and like one Stonewall Jack- son stands like a rock fence in a sheep pasture. He passes the ball fast and sure with few fumbles charged to him. But is the gridiron the place for a minister’s son? If they are all like this one, we say Aye, Aye. With strength born of purpose he hit the enemy with a force that left no chance for argument. He was a firm believer in hard work,early and late. Canby has a few more years to play. Go your best, we’re all with you. S. L. HOUSEHOLDER, Right Tackle, lit. 5ft-ll. wt. 170. Now Housie is a fine “old man. The hardest kicker on the team. When his foot once came in contact with the pigskin a goal loomed up in the distance. To see him smash a hole through the other line was like seeing one of Uncle Sam’s bat- tleships plough its way through a stormy sea. He has several years of work on the gridiron to his credit, work which paid us well. 85 ROY SMITH, Left Halfback, lit. 5ft-9. vt. 134. Yes. he Is just a common everyday Smith with the muscles of a smith, but when he settled down for action “woe unto the lad who in ignorance attempted to stop him. Now Smithy” didn't take off his hat to any of ’em for swiftness. To see him carry the ball past those would-be tacklers was like seeing the tail end of Haley's comet through a telescope. Success to Smithy” and here’s hoping that we have him with us next year. MORRISON, Right Guard. III. 5ft-7. vt. 160. It is he who saved many a man from an untimely end by refusing to go in as hard as he could. We would rather be with him than against him. BYRON REED. Right Halfback. lit. 5ft-� . vt. 137. He was generally turned loose on his opponents in the sec- ond half, where his speed as a fresh man was most effective. He was handicapped by injuries received in the early part of the season and was not at his best, but even with these injuries he has proven himself to be a whirlwind of speed. OLIVER POTTER, I .eft End. lit. 5ft-ll. vt. 112. This is the man that carried the ball that cleared the line that marked the goal that beat the team that came from the town of Springfield. Hooray! We knew he could do it. because he could always get away through a broken field. Success to you. Old Pal, for your work meant much to us. More men like you uould give us better teams. 86 CECIL WOODWARD. Sub. '‘Cecil’ was one of the youngest boys on the team, but his wirey form and agile movements made him a valuable player.

The only representative of the Lone Star State on the eleven. lie hail an instinct for tackling anything regardless of size or disposition and always had the way open for tin- backs to go through his position when called upon. Now Andy is a calm and silent man—with the firm belief that silence and the goal is golden. May it be said that Texas should be proud of Tex. ROY HEN 1 KICKS. Quarterback, lit. 5ft-9. vt. 135. When the well known cry Pass the ball, IJill was heard, instantly every man of the eleven was in motion. Me knew the bunch from his last year's work with them and the time as well as the play ant: the place to use each man. To use the quarter- back run, the outside kick and forward pass effectively was his long suite. “Kenny” is a football general and has made a close study of the game. Next year he will substitute the m. m.” de- gree for ids pigskin pranks. EGBERT HUNTER, Right End. lit. 5ft-8. xvt. 130. He is small of stature, yet backed by grit arid determina- tion, he responded to his signal with an alertness that carried him across the goal line ere the enemy was aware. i 87 WILLIAMS. Sub. The all-a-round athlete, but whose love for the gridiron and its excitement made him a careful trainer and a heady player in a tight place, it was his speed and endurance that made him a valuable player. MARYIX MILLKH. left Guard. lit. «ft. vt. 179. He Is a man of few words and much action. He was the heaviest man of the eleven, and was always ready for duty. It was the plunges at his part of the line that were invariably marked by a loss to the other side, lie was never outplayed and always threw his opponents out of the way as if he were training himself to lie a steam shovel. Miller expects to give us one more year on the gridiron and be it said that we start the season with a valuable man. DWIGHT C’III-: VAULT, Fullback, lit. vt. 155. Old Bluebeard’ was a hard worker, a heady player and a consistent ground gainer. When he hit the line, he hit it—that is, he smashed it without slowing up or putting on the brakes. Ills sepia re shoulders, his ironlike muscles, symetrieal build and poise of body, added to the halo of golden hair, made a combination that insured the prolate spheroid a joyful ride to the goal. Tie has two years yet to play and as he is a careful trainer, expects to go through the seasons without injuries. STILLWAUGH, Sub. He is a steady worker and careful player and gave the S. M. T. Nr. some work on the gridiron worthy of notice. ii � k km k W 88 LONNIE HARE, Sul). His action on the field is all that doth become his size. When in the game the signals come from his lips like shot out of a gatling gun. The quickness and alertness with which he moves is his success. HARRY McGINNIS, Sub. It is his speed not his weight that makes him a dangerous man. When once he got loose, his opponents might just as well take seats in the grandstand and watch the spectacular run as to try to catch him. We consider him to be a valuable man on the team, and a dangerous man to his opponents. We hope he will he with us a few more seasons. EI REEI), Sub. It was Ed that never knew when he was injured. For many week he carried a scar over his eye that continually re- minded us of the famous bucks he made into the other line. We hope lo have him with us a few more seasons. MARVIN SMITH. Left Guard. Ht. 5ft-10. wt. 145. No, not a brother or cousin to the other Smith but one of that great tribe. To find a more manly physique was impos- sible. Now Smith weighs only 145 lbs., but always carried an extra hundred weight of nerve around with him just for fun. He keeps this said nerve for just such occasions as football games. He always blocked his opponent on the forward pass, and never missed the man who tried to carry the ball around his end of the line. 8q GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM FORWARDS: NELL CLARK VERA STARRING BERTHA LANCE CENTERS: EMMA DRUNAGLE FLO KENNEDY (!U.

Never in the history of the school has there been such interest manifested in this particular branch of athletics. All the avail- able courts have been repaired and there is a constant demand for more. Here- tofore tennis at the S. M. T. N. has been a game indulged in by the few only, but this year over fifty students, representing all classes in both College and Nor- mal courses have formed a tennis club and are taking an active part in the sport. Led by the faculty tennis fiends. Profs. Wood and Carrithcrs. the boom continues. Tennis is a fine, clean game and should be given more attention in college athletics. Let’s all push the present boom. BOYS TENNIS SQUAD J. W. FUHRER Director of Athletics A few months, a year—even several years—won’t make a track team. The S. M. T. N. is still working and fighting for one. and she’s going to have one too. The first year we tried it, we didn’t have much luck. And the second year we did better—new men were developed, and a great deal more interest was aroused. This year, however, she has a strong one and has already placed herself upon a schedule. On May 2f th, the team will meet Marionville College on the S. M. T. X. track. The team is composed of excellent material and hopes to have no trouble in defeating the Missourians.” THE TRACK TEAM 09 too The Alpha Forensic Debating League AM)HKW STKKLK FACULTY ADVISERS: Dr. Chas.

The second annual debate between the State Normal of Springfield, Mo., and the S. M. 'I . X. was held in the Auditorium on Friday night, April 28th, re- sulting in defeat for the “Missourians.' The question for debate was: “‘Resolved, That the “closed shop should receive the moral and economic support of the American people,” the S. M. T. X. team a IT inning the question. The debate this year was marked by an extensive improvement, in that the team consisted of three speakers instead of two, as formerly. This not only added dignity to the debate and placed us iii|x n the footing with other colleges, but gave tvs opportunity for a more extensive presentation of the question. The debaters for this debate are chosen from among the Alpha Forensic members, after their having satisfactorily passed the necessary preliminaries. It is the intention next year to hold a series of debates with several other schools in addition to the one now held annually with Springfield. This move- ment is receiving the enthusiastic support of both the students and faculty. To sum it all up. the debates of 1910 and 1911 arc records of work conscien- tiously and efficiently performed, and with such a past, the outlook for the fu- ture cannot be otherwise than promising. .1 T 02 Manus Verez Society SOCIETY PRESIDENTS FOR 1910-11 ACTIVE MEMBERS Alberty.

HOUSEHOLDER No organization in the S. M. T. X. stands more for the best interests of the whole student body than the V. M. C. A. It is not an organization composed of a few select men of the Normal. Every class in the S. M. T. X. is represented in the Cabinet. Members of the athletic teams and other organizations are also represented. The association has at present thirty-five members and each yeat finds this number ever on the increase. The average attendance at the weekly meeting has been about twenty-five, showing that many are interested in an or- ganization whose greatest aim is to increase the Christian life of the S. M. T. X. The organization this year carried through quite an elaborate and exten- sive Lecture Course. On their program appeared the following numbers: The Castlesquare Entertainers, Thos. Brooks Fletcher Lecture, Rogers and Gril- ley Entertainers, The Hon. Joseph W. Folk Lecture, and The Chicago Ladies’ (Orchestra. The V. M. C. A. has a parlor in the S. M. T. X., which isopen to the use of all the young men of the Normal at all hours. It also has committees that are glad to help in any way any student who desires help in his Christian life or in any other way. io m Zz H 73 mm “ m -z m oPi x 3 £ X z 2 m zO — 73 7C ncr. to8 PROF. TROUT’S INTER-CHAMBER STUDY CLASS. The above named class was one of the first institutions organized in the new building. It was organized for Bible study, and was named by a special com- mittee of students and faculty. Professor Trout gladly gives his time for this work. A record is kept of ail who enroll, and it is the purpose to keep in touch in some way with those people. This work is done very quietly, but none the less effectually. No student can afford to miss what it offers. The past has been very prosperous and the future bids fair for greater things. It is older than either the Y. M. C. A. or the Y. W. C. A. It has filled a great need in our student body. The class meets every Thursday after regulat class hours. Prof. Tro.ut has given several instructive courses during the life of the class. He is just closing a course which he has been giving for the past twenty weeks on the Prophets and their missions. Prof. Trout is well qualified for this work, being a full graduate of Rochester Theological Seminary of Rochester. N. Y. A very large number of students have enrolled in this class and enjoy its work. The good thus accomplished cannot be estimated. Many students have received inspirations for higher and better things through contact with this work. No denominationalism or sectarianism is taught. The aim is to give those who enroll some knowledge of the most widely circulated and most widely read Book in the world. Prof. Trout says he has had many expressions of gratitude from those who have been interested in this work. 109 I IO The Male Glee Club FIRST TENORS: O. F. POTTER.

The Male Glee Club and The Polymnia Club These are separate organizations who meet regularly, twice weekly, for re- hearsal, and frequently combined rehearsals when preparing for special Choral Productions, Opera, Etc. These clubs appear at various public functions during the school year and frequently have outside engagements. During the last two years seven Concerts and an Opera have been given by these organizations, aside from the many public appearances on various programs of the school and city. The social as well as the cultural feature of these clubs make their work most pleasant and profitable. The active membership of each club is limited to sixteen students, chosen from the best vocal talent of the school. MALE GLEE CLUB IN “SAILOR COSTUA E T I I 1 1 2 QQ oO Orchestra and Band These organizations are conducted in a manner similar to the glee clubs, and are maintained in order to furnish an opportunity for practice, and advance- ment as a performer to those who play some orchestral or band instrument and are musically inclined.

Greatest of all school events of the year was the production of Gilbert and Sullivans ever popular comic opera .‘The Mikado,” which was given by forty students of the department of music at the 1 .aIlelle Theatre on February 28th. It met with such universal favor that it was reproduced the following week. A few weeks later the company played two out-of-town engagements, at the Elks Theatre, Parsons, Kans.. and at the City pera house of Erie, Kas. In both cities they received the highest commendation for the excellent manner in which the opera was produced. Amateur productions of this opera are not at all un- common. but it was generally conceeded by music critics and theatrical mana- gers that this production of The Mikado” was far alvwe the ordinary. From tiie personal comments and press notices concerning the opera, a few extracts are here given : From Erie Record: “The opera was one of the very best productions ever given in the Erie Opera 1 louse.'“ The Pittsburg Headlight. “The Mikado made a big hit. Not one detail over- looked in working out the intricate parts of the opera. . Parsons Eclipse: “The Mikado well rendered. The choruses above ordi- nary. The production decidedly a credit to Pittsburg. . .” Erie Sentinel: “The Mikado pleased everybody. The music fine, the acting equal if not better than some of the high paid professionals. . .” Professor Hoover, who conducted the opera said: “Of many operas have given and witnessed by amateur caste, the S. M. T. X. production of ‘The Mikado was in many respects the best. . ..” THE “ASTOR HOUSE T18 MEMBERS Frank Perkins Walter Wassen Roy Hendricks C K. Harris Chas.

The then Mayor, Edwin V. Lanyon, began by naming John Randolph, Morris Cliggitt, James Patmor, P. P. Campbell, E. F. Porter, J. R. McKim, R. E. Carlton, J. C. Buchanan, H. C. Willard, F. B. Wheeler, J. T. Moore and O. T. Boaz as directors. Upon the recom- mendation of these gentlemen, a taxing ordinance was passed and the accumulation of funds to start the library was begun. As a result of these united efforts, the Pittsburg Public Library was opened January 18, 1902, in the west wing of the city building with 1601 volumes upon on its shelves, Miss Ella Buchanan acting as Librarian. By reason of the death of John Randolph, Morris Cliggitt was elected first president of the Library Board, which place he splendidly filled until compelled by his last illness to relin- quish it. Captain William Watson was elected to succeed him, and Clair G. Hcnderlidcr was made Secretary in 1909. In December 1908, Miss Buchanan resigned and Mrs. Theresa G. Randolph was appointed Librarian, with Miss Vere Henderlider as assistant. U-1 Early in lMI, Andrew Carnegie donated $40,(XX).00 for the erection of a building, condi- tioned only that the Board secure and pay for a site, and at the same time agree to provide at least $4,000.00 annually for maintenance. These conditions were quickly met by the purchase of a beautiful site, one hundred and seventy by one hundred feet at the corner of Fourth and Walnut Streets, and the promising of the city to levy a tax of one half of one per cent per annum for maintenance. Great care was exercised by the Board in deciding upon the design of a Library building, its erection was contracted for with A4r. S. S. Geatches, and it is now rapidly nearing completion. This Library now contains 15,866 vol- umes, including the private Library of the late Morris Cliggitt, which consists of 3345 volumes, and was be- queathed by this learn- ed man to the Public Library. It is hoped to ma- terially add to the number of volumes, and the comfort and convenience of the pa- trons of the Library, once the same is moved into the beauti- ful spacious, light and airy quarters being provided, and that then few, if any librar- ies in the State, will equal this one. The Pittsburg Post Office In the year 1876 President Grant established the Pittsburgh post office in the little coal camp of thirty one people. Since that time, it has developed into a considerable commercial institution, employing thirty four people at good salaries, and transacting an annual stamp and money order business, amounting to nearly fifty thousand dollars. The fact that the business of this office has shown an increase every year is evidence of the constant unfaltering growth of the community and promises well for the future. A brief history of the Pittsburg post office given chronologically also shows steady increase. Established in 1876, as a fourth class office with no force but the post master, within ten years it had reached the third class, and attained the dignity of employing a clerk. In 1896, when it was twenty years old. it was an office of the second class, employing an assistant post master, three clerks, five city letter carriers and three rural carriers. In 1906, thirty years from the date of establishment, the office had grown to employ eight clerks, eight city letter carriers and eight rural letter carriers; had established regulation screen wagon service, with three wagons with which to deliver all mails to and from the railway depots. Now, thirty four people are employed, and an average of ten thousand one hundred and sixty three pieces of mail handled daily. Every patron in the city receives his mail by city carrier tw ice each day, and every patron on the two hundred and thirty one miles of rural routes recieves his mail once each day, while all the business districts is served four times daily. Mail is received and dispatched on forty eight trains daily, and throughout the twenty four hours each day, constant effort is made to get all mail to its destination regardless of the mistakes of the sender or the apparant disre- gard of the owner. The average daily stamp sales for the year has been somewhat more than one hundred dollars, nearly thirty seven thousand dollars a year. The money order business of the office requires transactions with every civilized country in the world. During the year ending March 31, 1911, forty three thousand transactions were consumatedat this office, involving three hun- dred and four thousand and nine dollars and twenty cents. The Pittsburg post office had the distinction of being designated the first Postal Savings Bank in the State of Kansas. In four months of operation the Postal Savings Bank received eleven thousand and fifteen dollars in deposits, divided into one hundred and sixty individual accounts. Within a few days, the post office will remove into the beautiful federal building just reach- ing completion, on the corner of Seventh and Locust Streets. This building of red sand fin- ished brick and Bedford stone is fifty six by ninety three feet and occupies a lot one hun- dred and fifty by one hundred and seventy feet. The style of the building carries the entabla- ture effects of Grecian architecture, and its exterior reflects the policy its substantial owner in its modest severity, while the interior is beautiful in rich conftruction of high quality. It will all be finished and furnished in the most modern manner, so that when completed, it will not be surpassed in substantially or consenience by any building in the west. The superior construc- tion is due somewhat to the generosity and enterprise of some of our citizens, who by buying the site and donating it to the government, made it possible for the entire appropriation of sev- enty five thousand dollars to be put into the building, instead of having to spend ten thousand dollars for the grounds. Pittsburg has reasons to be proud of her post office, and will be more so when it is settled in this new home. 146 OUR CITY PARK (BY FAVOR OF MR. FRANK CUMISKEY FORMER PARK COMMISSIONER.) If the veterans of the civil war had not purchased the tract of timber land now called Lincoln Park, it is fair to assume that Pittsburg would today be without a pleasure resort of any kind. And if a few enterprising citizens, led by the late Mr. Cliggitt had not taken the project in hand and made a successful campaign to vote bonds to purchase this beauty spot, possibly no very great improvement would ever have been made. However, all this is past history, and those who have worked in the past can well feel proud of their efforts,. Today we have one of the most up-to-date parks of any city in the country, having a population such as we enjoy. No city today is progressive without its parks, and no public park is complete without its play grounds for the younger generation to exercise upon. Lincoln Park has a system of play grounds which competes with the largest cities, and those who were responsible for the system being installed feel that they are just making a be- ginning in this line of amusement. It now remains for the boys and girls to say whether a mistake has been made in the matter of play grounds. But we are willing to assume that the efforts made by the Park Board to give the children of Pittsburg a place for healthy growth will be appreciated to such an extent that more of the same kind of apparatus will have to be furnished to supply the demand. Arrangements have been made to accommodate children of all ages and the fixtures are so complete that there is no danger of accident to the tiny little ones, or the husky grown up boys or girls who love outdoor sports. In this connection it is to be hoped that a suitable field for athefetic sports such as base ball, foot ball and all kinds of games will be purchased at no distant date, and the possibility of this adjunct to Lincoln Park should make the boys and girls of our city take an active interest in all matters pertaining to the improvement of the Park.

The service of the Com- pany both for fire and domestic purposes is unex- celled. The quality of the city water supply should be an important factor in selecting a school to attend.

Belknap, of 104 and 106 North Broadway, commenced the sale of Flour and Feed in the City of Pittsburg Eighteen years ago on a very small scale. The business was commenced in a room twen- ty five by sixty feet and had room to spare. He now occupies fifty feet front and one hundred feet deep and almost all thisspaceis covered with Brick and Concrete buildings considerable of which is Two Stories High. His business has grown with the Town and now covers much of the County and quite a share of Cherokee County. He also has a mill and warehouse at Weir City which he owns and rents a wareroom at Corona Kansas. Success of this kind has been possible only because he has always handled the best of every thing in his line. HisU. S. Pat. Flour from Newton, Kansas, is never surpassed and is rarely equalled;not only makingthe best bread but it also makes more of it than other flour. Belknap’s Mixed Feed is the best on this market. Belknap’s Mixed Chicken Feed both for the little chicks and the coarser for the larger fowls is not equalled by any other on the market. Belknap’s sales are very large of the best products in Flour, Feeds and Fertilizers from the best town in southeastern Kansas. The fact that it comes from Belknap’s is guaranty of its Quality and Purity. It is sold at as low a price as is consistent with the class of goods he sells. PATENT T.-, newton, kas. US. HIGH PATENT 2
