MYERS AS PRINCIPAL Mf= 3ME r formal inauguration of Dr. George E, Myers as Principal of the State Manual Training Normal School occurred Friday, Novem- ber 17, 1911. The exercises of the forenoon were presided over by Hon. Sheffield Ingalls, President of the Board of Regents, and included addresses by President G. Stanley Hall, Clark University, Worcester, Mass.; President Joseph H. Hill, Emporia, and Principal George E. Myers. The afternoon program con- sisted of congratulatory addresses by Chancellor Frank Strong, the University of Kansas; Dean E. B. McCormick, the State Agricultural College; Principal W. S. Picken, the Western Nor- mal School; Assistant Superintendent L. D. Whittemore, the State Department of Education; President M. E. Pearson, the Association; President C. S. Risden, the Southeast Kansas Teach- ers’ Association; and President S. E. Price, of Ottawa University, representing the colleges of Kansas. In the afternoon, the S. M. T. N. first foot ball team played the Emporia College team. At night a reception was given in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Myers. A large number of citizens attended the reception and all seemed to enjoy the occasion. Principal Myers considered in his inaugural address the possible service of the Manual Training Normal to the state of Kansas. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Education, as far as it concerns the state, is a process of development of the individual along lines that fit for social and industrial efficiency. This definition of public education proposes a twofold test for each subject taught—a test for value as a means of developing the student, and a test for value to society of the resulting development. We are rapidly outgrowing the nineteenth century assump- tion that the second test is unnecessary—that any subject which develops the indi- vidual makes for efficient citizenship in the same degree. On this assumption In- dian children were taken from their homes, placed in distant government schools and put through long courses of study wholly unrelated to their native environ- ment. According to government reports, these children made great progress. But when they returned to their homes they were in many respects less efficient mem- bers of the tribe than those who had remained at home. The history of the negro race in America for the past forty years also strikingly illustrates education with- out reference to environment. And every public school of the nineteenth century furnishes an illustration less striking chiefly because more familiar. It is coming to be recognized that education for its own sake has no claims on the state, while education for social efficiency is the most important task the state has ever under- taken. It was during comparatively early stages of this movement in our state educa- tional institutions that the State Manual Training Normal was established. In eight brief years of existence, its remarkable growth to an institution with an annual enrollment of nearly eleven hundred and a faculty of thirty members has chal- lenged the attention of educators all over the state and far beyond its borders. Its rapid growth is evidence at once of the wisdom of those who were responsible for its establishment and of its need in the educational organization of the state. There is no doubt, however, that many who have watched its development with keen interest have a more or less hazy idea of its function. It is my purpose this morning to endeavor to make clearer the functions of the State Manual Training Normal by calling attention to its possible service to the state. It is ours to give to hundreds of young people each year through training in the particular manual arts subjects they are to teach, and in related subjects; to familiarize them with principles of teaching and class management to help them understand better the laws of mental and physical development, particularly of the adolescent period; to give them the point of view of the teacher, recognizing that method was made for the child, and not the child tor method; to help them ap- preciate the significance of tneir work to human progress; to stimulate and make enduring in them the enthusiasm of youth, without which teaching loses much 01 its enectiveness; to help them realize that the teacher’s personality is the most vital force in the school—in a word, to prepare them to make the largest possible contribution to the lives of their future pupils and to the community in which -hey work. Whether other state institutions shall share in this great task incidental to their other work it is not necessary to discuss here. The fact remains that this is the institution of the state organized and equipped by authority of the state for the purpose of training teachers of the manual and home-making arts. The fur- ther fact remains that the principal demand for such teachers comes from our high schools. Moreover, since this is the pioneer state school in a special field in which the entire country is intensely interested, we shall be called upon more and more, as our work becomes better known, to train teachers from other states— a service of which any state institution has reason to be proud, so long as the nonresident student meets the expense of his training. It is obvious, also, that southeastern Kansas will send to this institution many students who wish to prepare to teach the traditional subjects, either in the grades or in high schools, and some who do not expect to teach at all. They will come here simply because this school is near their homes. In fact, many will come who would not attend any higher institution were it not that this one is near; for whatever our theories as to differentiation of functions of state educational institu- tions, it may be said in general that the attractive power of an institution of col- lege grade varies inversely as the square of the distance. This class of students must be served, and served efficiently; but the great purposes of the institution, as already outlined, must not be sacrificed to their needs. It is undoubtedly the belief of some that the State Manual Training Normal should also serve the industrial activities of the state, through the training of in- dustrial workers. In so far as it enters this field, the institution gets away from the function implied in its name. This, however, need be no bar. If the state is to engage in special training for the industries, instead of leaving it to each com- munity, this is the state institution in which the training should be given, since so large a number of industrial enterprises are in this section of the state. Personally, 1 believe that the training of industrial workers is a local problem, to be solved by each community for itself, rather than to be undertaken by a state institution, and that the State Manual Training Normal will perform a greater service to the industrial interests of the state by training teachers of industrial subjects and by standing for the vocational aim in education, than by making the training of in- dustrial workers one of its principal functions. On the other hand, this institu- tion may render valuable service to this community, pending the time when local schools shall relieve the need by offering short vocational courses in industrial, agricultural and home-making subjects. Thus far we have considered only the possible service of the State Manual Training Normal to those who come within its walls as students and, through them, to the citizenship of the state. Important as this work is, this institution will fall far short of its opportunities if it does not reach out directly through its faculty into the life of the state, touching particularly those activities closely related to its work. Extension work is not only as legitimate, but also as necessary, for a state normal as for a state university or state agricultural college. The field for normal school extension work includes practically every- thing pertaining to public education from the kindergarten to the high school. As a normal school of manual and household arts, it is peculiarly the function of this institution to take a leading part in determining the place of these subjects in public education in Kansas; to know what contributions others are making to this subject; to work out as far as possible in our model school the uecessary reorganization of courses of study, and to bring clearly and forcefully to the attention of county and city superintendents and teachers the results of our investigations and experiments. It is ours, by means of correspondence courses, extension lectures, addresses at teachers' institutes, county, district, and state teachers’ associations, to give help and inspiration to teachers in service. Y e should i.nd it possible, by means of bulletins and direct correspondence, to give suggestions to boards of education on laying out and improving school grounds; planning, erecting and caring for school buildings; providing adequate and suitable equipment for all kinds of school work. We owe it to rural education, not merely to know what ought to be done and to teach this to our students, but to go out into the country, to farmers’ insti- tutes and other similar gatherings, and help the farmers to a larger vision of the possible service of their school to their children and their community. It is ours to share in a large way in hastening the day of wise consolidation of rural schools; to contribute to a wider use of the school as a social center in both city and coun- try; to help make the school a more vital factor in community progress. The dan- ger of extension work for such an institution as this is that too much of the time of the faculty will be taken from their teaching duties in the school. This can be avoided by organizing an extension department, with a corps of instructors giving full time to this work, as has been done by our State University and Agricultural College. The time is ripe for such a step at this institution, if it is to perform the largest service to the state. Possibly some of my hearers reel that the doctrine of this address is too util- itarian; that the finer spiritual elements of education are left out of account; that this institution under such an administration will not stand for culture. If this be true, so much the worse for culture. But permit me to remind you that effi- ciency and culture are not opposites. The Greeks found w'hat we are pleased to call culture in the life of their times, and trained their youth for efficient participa- tion in that life, not for culture. We have wandered long, searching for culture in the civilizations, the literatures and the art of the past, to find it at last also at our very door in the science, the industry, the agriculture, the home-making, the citizenship of the present. “Cities are the graves of the human species,” shouted Rousseau, more than a century ago. Here is a great state, with more than a million and a half popu- lation, almost entirely free from .the emasculating, devitalizing forces of the city. Here are 516,000 children and young people in our public schools, with clear eyes and rich, red blood, the result of good inheritance, temperate homes and largely rural life. Here are the boundless natural resources of a great agricultural state only partially developed. Here are moral, social, political and industrial problems of tremendous moment to state and nation pressing for solution. Here is already in motion an educational renaissance of compelling powrer and significance. With opportunities of such magnitude and incentives of such power challenging action, this institution, rich in the educational ideals for which it stands, rich in the en- thusiasm and vigor of youth, must take a leading part in the forward movement. A WORD FROM THE EDITORS last the deed is accomplished. Through trials and tur- moil we have reached the goal. Ad astra per aspera. For over three months, seemingly so many years, we have been at work upon this modest effort. What was once an imaginary thing and, to the minds of many, even an impossible thing is now a reality and we are able to place before you the 1912 edition of The Kanza with the hope that it will be dealt with gently and charitably, that it's deficiencies be overlooked and its strong points, if any there be, magnified and commended. We frankly admit that we had never had any serious experience in this line, it probably would be discovered anyway, and we often battled against difficulties which seemed for a time almost impossible to overcome. We have worked and we have worried, and long ago we became im- mune to that which we once knew’—peaceful slumber. We expected to gather some knowledge outside the usual College Cur- riculum—and we think we have; at least we have learned better than to try such a thing again. However, we have enjoyed it, and enjoyed it im- mensely, and you who have never had such experience will never know what delightfully exhilerating sensations you have missed. We feel sorry for you. We feel fully competent to give advice to any who might desire to follow in our footsteps and carry on this great work. We feel sure we could write a page of suggestions which would help others to aviod the mistakes we have made and then not have made a start on the material we might get together if we tried. And now we travel along with just a parting word from “Little Billy Shakespeare,” who seemed to express our opinions exactly: “Before an editor again we’d be We’d drown ourselves in the deep blue sea. To some far off cannibal isle we’d flee And let the savages make hash of we.” —The Editors. COHY SMILEY DAVIS HKOOKS LOW i : Cite Itausa ;S‘taff. CATHARINE CORY .. PAUL SMILEY ..... E. C.

It is organ- ized for practical Christian work and service. The source of the greatest power to the Association is the Devotional meet- ings. At first, the band held weekly noon-day Devotionais, but later, more time was desired. A committee was appointed to confer with a like committee of the Y. M. C. A. in regard to the securing of a Chapel Hour for this purpose. Dr. Myers granted the Monday Chapel Hour and greater interest was then manifested. The hall was always crowded and the hour a profitable one. The Association sent one delegate to the Summer Conference at Cascade, and four delegates to the Southern District Association at Wichita.

The question for debate was: “Resolved, That the United States should adopt the policy of tariff for revenue only.” We upheld the affirmative. Our team consisted of Glenn Skinner, who did the fsplanifyinJ ” Virgil Cook for the “argu- fying ” and Odis Burns, who came on with “de rousements.” The team had spent a good deal of time in gathering together the material for this debate and had a very thorough knowl- edge of their subject. The papers they had pre- pared were strong, convincing and well writ- ten, showing great ability. Unfortunately, there had not been enough time given to practicing the delivery, only about a week having been devoted to training along this line. However, they did tine work and made a splendid show- ing and next year we will come back at the Missourians with renewed energy and con- fidence and show them that one defeat neither discourages us nor makes us apprehensive of the result next year. This is the third contest in debate we have had with the Springfield Normal. The first was held in Springfield in 1910 and was won by Springfield. The second was held here in 1911 and won by us and we confidently expect that the fourth which will be held here in 1913 will result in a victory for our school.

It was presented at the Orpheum theatre March 1 to a large and appreciative audience. The following week the S, M. T. N. Opera Com- pany started out on a tour of the nearby cities. Erie, lola, Chanute, Par- sons and Scammon were visited and good houses greeted the opera. Each of these cities has its special place in the hearts of the company because of the cordiality of the people and their loyal support and interest in us. A new feature of the opera was the fact that it carried its own orches- tra, making the production of the opera entirely of S. M. T. N. people. Nearly every department in the school was represented in some way in the production and special mention should be made of the efficient work of Earl Brown, stage manager. A great deal of the success of the opera depended on Mr. Hoover, the musical director, who by his patient and untiring efforts brought the opera to perfection. CAST OF CHARACTERS.

The record of the clubs in past years is well known and the members this year have put forth every effort to keep it up to the standard, very often forfeit- ing lunch in order to be on time for noon rehearsals. The organization during the past year has made a great many public appearances. Aside from the mus- ical work the clubs have enjoyed several unique social affairs together.

BERTHA LANCE. 1 THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDING [ HE second building to be placed on the campus very appro- priately is the Industrial Arts Building. This building is to house one of the departments of work which the great Manual Training Normal stands for, and which the name of the institution indicates, the Manual Training de- partment. It's a just recognition of the splendid work ac- complished in the main building under many trying con- ditions, as the rooms were not in any way suitable to the kind of work performed being dark, poorly arranged and lacking the usual conveniences for the manual work. In spite of these handicaps, the students who have so cheerfully and energetically thrown themselves into the work, and left us to establish similar work in other schools, have made a state-wide reputation for the school for producing teachers of manual training of exceptional ability who give the greatest satisfaction. The Industrial Arts building was designed for the special purpose of caring for the needs of the Manual Training Department, the Arts-Manual Training department and the Mechanical and Architectural Drawing de- partment, as carried on in the main building, and to provide room for a number of new departments of work which we were unable to introduce for lack of accommodations. •The last legislature appropriated $50,000.00 for this building, the Board of Regents let the contract December 12, 1911, to S. S. Geatches for the erection of the building, it being specified that the building was to be completed by August 1, 1912. On account of the severe winter, it will be impossible to comply with this provision of the contract, and it is now planned to occupy the building about November 1. The excavation was begun about April 1, and the work is being pushed as rapidly as possible and everything is progressing as well as could be wished. A comparison of the size of the Main Normal building with that of the Industrial Arts building, will give some conception of the amount of ground covered by the new building, as we are familiar with the main building. The Industrial Arts Building is only six feet less in length than the Main Building, but is 42 feet wider than the Main Building at the greatest width, and 22 feet wider than the main building at the two ends. The new building will cover 6,000 square feet of ground more than the main building. The Industrial Arts Building will be two stories in height in the mid- dle section, and only one story in height at the two ends. There is to be a seven foot basement under the entire building, this basement to be used for caring for the pipes used in the heating, plumbing and the conduits used in the system for the removal of the shavings and the cleansing of the building, for coal room and general storage purposes, no class work to be done in the basement. Over the entire building will be a series of saw-toothed skylights, which, with the numerous windows provided on the sides of each room, will make this one of the lightest and best adapted buildings for indus- trial work that can be built. In planning the building every convenience and necessary appliance which could be thought of was provided and incorporated in the plan of the building. Every department of work has its individual office and tool room with a wash room provided with steel lockers for students use. A system of removing the shavings directly from each machine to the boiler room, and a system of vacuum cleaning for the entire building is planned. The boiler house which was to have been a power plant as well, had to be omitted from this contract as funds would not permit its being built at this time. It was planned to make our own heat, light and power, and we hope the next legislature will provide us with the necessary funds to make this addition this coming year. The building faces north, the central part being in the middle of the road facing the street car line. The following list will give an idea of the branches of work contem- plated in the new building: Bench Woodwork, Wood-turning, Pattern- making. Cabinet-making, House and Stair building. These branches will occupy the east end of the building. The west end of the building will have the Machine shop, Forge shop, Sheet Metal and Plumbing shop, and the Foundry equipped with a brass furnace and a cupola for smelting iron. The central part of the building is two stories, and in the second story will be found the Arts-Manuai Training with a large room for Wood Carving, a large room for the Clay Modeling and Pottery work, and a special kiln room for firing the pottery. Across the hall from this de- partment are three large rooms for the Mechanical and Architectural Drawing, and a special Blue Print Boom. On the first floor will be the main office, a Finishing Room, a Stock Room, an Exhibit Room, and the Concrete, Brick and Cement Room. THE HEAD OF THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT THE NEW ORDERS ,HIS has been a red letter year in the history of S.M. T. N. It has been a year of changes, of new people and new con- ditions. First and of especial interest is our new principal, Dr. Myers. Dr. Myers came to us from Washington, D. C., where he was doing excellent work as head of the Man- ual Training High School of that city. He was originally a Kansas man, as he received his first degree, A. B., from Ottawa Univer- sity. He received his A. M., from the University of Chicago and did the work leading to his final degree at Clark University. Dr. Myers is a scholarly man, of conservative views but already imbued with the desire to see our school develop and forge ahead into the front rank of schools. He has already succeeded in inspiring the well-wishers of the school with faith in his ability to carry on the plan of making this school second to none in the state. Of almost equal interest is the new building which is now in process of construction, which is described in the preceding pages. The use of this building will relieve the crowded condition of the main building and make possible more satisfactory work in all lines than is now practicable. This is but the beginning. We hope to see, before many years, a large group of buildings, a well stocked library, a large, conven- ient gym, a power plant, and many other needed buildings. From the beginning there has been felt the need of a full, four year college course giving the work necessary to allow the conferring of a de- gree. This year has seen this need met and next year there will be given three years of college work instead of two years as now, and the year fol- lowing will see the full four years course installed. This year has seen many new faces in the faculty. In the Domestic Science Department Miss Yenawine is the new head, she taking the place of Miss Weimer, who resigned last summer. Miss Vial has taken the work formerly taught by Miss Chandler, now Mrs. Hartsock. It will be impos- sible, however, to fill Miss Chandler's place, as the school will never be quite the same without her. In the library we have not a new face, but a new position, that of assistant librarian, which is held by Miss Lena Mar- tin, a member of the class of HI. Five new teachers were added this year: Mr. Caris, assistant in Math- ematics; Mr. Porter, assistant in Biological Department; Miss McLean, Critic Teacher in Primary Department of Model School; Mr. Bragg, as- sistant in Commercial Department, and Miss Carter, Physical Director for the girls. The addition of Miss Carter to the teaching force has made a great difference in the work of that department. All the work is done in regu- lar gym suits and heavier work has been given. Not the least important innovation this year was the Corn Show given under the auspices of the Agriculturial Department. This was in- tended to be of especial interest to the farmers of this county and the speeches and round tables dealt with subjects of interest to them. The attendance was not large but the interest manifested was sufficient to en- courage the Department in making it an annual event. ESSENTIALS TO PROGRESS Two thing's are essential if S. M. T. N. is to take its proper place in the educational work of the State: (1) a four years’ course leading to the bachelor’s degree, and (2) separation from the State Normal at Emporia. The Board of Regents took the first of these steps some months ago, and the Principal and faculty have already outlined a four years’ course of study to become effective next September. Great care has been taken to make it the best course of its kind in the country. Graduates from this course will be able to take their places as high school teachers beside the graduates of any other institution, and will be prepared to teach, as they are often required to do, other high school subjects along with manual training or domestic science. The second step requires an act of the legislature. The Board of Regents can, however, hasten the enaction of the necessary legis- lation by recommending and supporting a separation measure at the next session of the legislature. There is not room here for all the various arguments in favor of separation, nor is this the place to present them if there were room. Suffice it to say that all friends of the Institution, faculty, students and former students of S. M. T. N. are agreed that this step is essential to large and permanent progress. We earnestly hope that our Board of Regents will share this view, and do all in their power to obtain the necessary legislation. The Editors.

Our pro- grams have been entertaining and instructive, and the social hour has certainly been a success. Many new members have been added to our society. Although it is inde- pendent of the school and rhetoricals are not required, our society has not lowered in its standard. For those who really enjoyed the work and were inter- ested have remained faithful, and we have had many good meetings. Although we did not win the Dramatic Art contest we have learned how to take defeat gracefully. But we are planning to carry off all the honors in the Oration contest in the Spring. One of the most successful social events of the year was the informal reception given to the new students and the Drury College men after the basket ball game. Many new friends were added to our society. ACTIVE MEMBERS NORA McMULLEN. MARVIN MILLER. MAY NOLAN. ANNA OLIVER. ■ FERN PEAK. FERN PECK. MARIAN QUESENBERRY. VERNA RIGDON. DANA REED. E. L. RYALS.

We have always been distinguished for our orators and debaters, and in the December contest “The Mouse Trap,” given by Florence Crawford, Helen Yarcho, Hattie Campbell, May Klock, Marion Leach and Virgil Cook, won first prize in the Dramatic Art contest, while the first prize in Declamation contest was won by Pearl Ryals. ...The Odyssey The gods assembled in council and decided that Ulysses, who had been absent from Ithaca for twenty years, should be returned to his native land from the island of Calypso, where he had been held captive for seven years. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, then went to Ithaca to advise Telemachus, the son of Ulysses, to go to Menelaus, king of Sparta, and in- quire whether his father was still alive. During the absence of Ulysses, Penelope, his beautiful wife, had been beseiged by many suitors who made great entertainments and riot in her palace. Mercury had been sent to the island of Calypso, to command her to send Ulysses home. She had a raft built for him and sent him on his way, but Neptune whose son Ulysses had slain, saw him and raised a great storm, which destroyed his raft. He was finally cast on the shore of the Phaeacians, through the assistance of a sea-nymph. Here he fell asleep, being weary from his toil and hardships. Nausicaa, the fair daughter of the king of the Phoenicians, together with her hand-maidens had gone down to the river to wash their clothes. When this was done they spread them on the banks to dry and while wait- ing they played ball. Ulysses was awakened by their sport and told them of his hardships. Nausicaa directed him to the palace, telling him that :f he would obtain her mother's favor he might be speedily returned to his home. The princess Nausicaa then returned to the city and Ulysses soon followed her. On his way he was met by Minerva, as a young virgin, who guided him to the palace and told him how to address Arete, the queen. The goddess enveloped him in a mist so that he passed through the palace unnoticed until he threw himself at the feet of Arete and begged her to send him home. He was given food to eat and Alcinous decided to send him home, having a vessel prepared for his departure. While this was being done the king entertained the Phoenician nobles at his house. After a feast, contests of strength were indulged in, Ulysses excelling them all. The bard then sang of the wooden horse of Troy, which made Ulysses sad and Alcinous, noticing this, asked him who he was and from whence he came. Ulysses then related the story of his adventures. When Ulysses left Ilium the wind carried his ships to the island of ihe Ciconians where Ulysses and his men laid waste the city and destroyed the people. They then divided the possessions and the women. When they were ordered to sail they failed to obey and while they were eating and drinking, the Ciconians escaped, called the other Ciconians of the island and engaged in battle but Ulysses was finally victorious, losing only six men from each ship. They proceeded to the land of the Lotus-eaters. The men of Ulysses ate Lotus, which so drugged them that they had no desire to go back to the ships. Ulysses led them to the ship, bound them to the benches and quickly embarked. They next came to the land of the Cyclops, the mighty sons of Neptune. They went to Polyphemus and asked him for entertainment but he would not listen to them. He kept them captive in his cave, making a' feast of his men, reserving Ulysses for the last. But with a hot bar Ulysses put out the eye of the Cyclops and he and his men escaped on the sheep, being fastened underneath them. Ulysses then went to the island of Aeolus, ruler of the winds. He was entertained here for a month and when they again set sail Aeolus gave Ulysses a bag containing all the unfavorable winds. Ulysses guarded the bag for nine days and nights but on the tenth when they were within sight of their native land he was so weary that he fell asleep. His men, thinking the sack contained treasures, took advantage of his sleep and opened the bag, letting out all the winds. They were driven back to the Aeolian is- lands but Aeolus refused to help them again. They sailed about for six days and nights and on the seventh day came to Laestrygonia. Three men were sent to the city, one as a herald. On their way they met a damsel carrying water and she directed them to the king, who immediately planned their destruction and snatching one of the men made his meal, but the other two escaped to the ship and hastily embarked. All the strong Laestrygonians rushed down to the shore and cast stones at them, killing some of the men. From this place Ulysses came to the island of Circe, the fair-haired goddess. He sent part of his men to the house of Circe, who invited them in, gave them food containing a drug which made them forget everything. She then converted them into swine, placing them in styes. Eurylochus, the leader, fearing some stratagem, remained outside and when he learned of the fate of his companions rushed to the ship with his news. Ulysses went to Circe, being first provided with an herb which would ward off Circe’s enchantment. Ulysses overcame the enchantress and procured the restoration of his men. After remaining a year with Circe she advised him to visit the infernal regions. The men descended into Hades, making libations to the dead. The first soul they met was Elphenor, one of Ulysses’ men who had fallen off of Circe’s roof. Next came Ulysses’ mother who was overjoyed to see him and told him of his father, wife and son. He conversed with Tiresias who prophesied that Ulysses would have difficulty in reaching home because of Neptune; that when he returned to his native land he would find his wife wooed by many suitors and that after he had killed them he would travel again, meeting a peaceful death from old age, on the water. Then he met and talked with many heroes. He returned to the house of Circe and she told him how to get safely home. First he came to the land of the Sirens who tried to charm him with their singing but he put wax in his men’s ears and had himself bound to the mast so they passed by unharmed. Next they came to a pass with Scylaa, a six- headed monster who snatched men from their ship as they passed, on one side and on the other Charybdis, who sucked down all ships that came that way. Ulysses sailed by Scylla, thinking it best to lose six men rather than the entire company. The ships were cast on the island Trinacria and while Ulysses was asleep his men made a feast of the cattle of the Sun god which so enraged the god that when Ulysses embarked all his sailors perished in a ship wreck. Ulysses was buffeted about until he was cast upon the shore of Ogygia. After Ulysses concluded his adventures he was carried to Itahaca while asleep by the Phoenicians and put on the shore with the presents re- ceived from them. Ulysses, disguised as a beggar, went to the house of his swineherd and told him that his master would soon return. Ulysses then went to the palace to beg among the suitors and while there another beggar came up, insulted him and was worsted by Ulysses. Ulysses threatened the suitors with vengeance, telling that the king would soon return. Just then Penelope came down to receive the gifts of the suitors but she did not recognize Ulysses. He revealed himself to his son and at night they removed the arms of the suitors to a room upstairs, preparatory to his fight with the suitors. Penelope, to put an end to the solicitation of the suitors, proposed to marry the first one who could bend the bow of Ulysses and shoot through twelve rings. After their attempts had proved ineffectual Ulysses took his faithful herdsman and swineherd apart, revealed himself, then return- ed, bent the bow and shot through the rings. Jupiter at the same instant thundered from heaven as an omen to Ulysses. Telemachus and the two servants armed themselves and stood ready to defend Ulysses. He began the slaughter of the suitors by the death of Antinous, the leader. The herald and the bard were the only ones saved. Through his old nurse who had recognized Ulysses by a scar on his knee, Penelope was informed as to the identity of the beggar but so many had claimed to be Ulysses that she was doubtful and put him to a test. He proved his identity by describing his bed. An olive tree had grown in the court and he had built a room of stones around it. He then cut off all the branches and made a bed post of it. With this as a beginning he had made his bed. Ulysses and Penelope talked into the night. The next morning Ulysses went to visit his aged father Laertes. By the aid of Minerva they quelled an insurrection of the people who attempted to revenge the slaughter of the suitors. i NORMAL CURIOSITY SHOP. A Trout without fins. A Campbell without a hump.

Devotional meetings were held each Monday during Chapel period. The meetings and talks by students and faculty were interesting, and added much to the school life. The students led the meetings most of the time, while a few of the meetings were led by the faculty. The Y. M. C. A., with the assistance of the Ministerial Association of Pitts- burg, handled the lecture course this year. It was very successful and enjoyed by all. A student hand book will be issued for the coming year. The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. are now getting material ready for it. It will contain general infor- mation concerning the school and school organizations. The new students will find this book very helpful in making them acquainted with the school life. Two delegates were sent to the Annual State Convention which was held at Hutchinson. All departments of the work were represented, and the discussions concerning these were very helpful. New plans and methods were considered for the following year. The student can join no better association than the Y. M. or Y. W. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. expects a most successful year for 1912-13. Mr. Ryals will be the president for the following year. The Faculty of the S. M. T. N.

FOOT BALL SEASON HE foot tall season of 1911 was the most successful one we have ever had. For the first time Coach Fuhrer was able to start the season with a number of experienced men and in less than two weeks they were in a condition to play one of their hardest games. This was with Drury College, at Springfield. The Normal completely swept the college off their feet the first two quarters of the game, by their heavy swinging tackle plays, but were unable to score. Snowhill, the star half back, the best punter of the squad, twisted his knee so badly in the second quarter that he had to quit the game. He was unable to play again during the season. This was too big a hole to be filled and it cost us the game. A sixteen yard penalty and fake play won the game for Drury by the score of 6-0. This was a hard game for us to less but it was evident to all that we outclassed the Drury team. One week later we played another hard game with Southwestern Col- lege at Winfield. We were in a crippled condition as far as offense was con- cerned but our defense was strong. We were beaten by the score of 7-2. The peculiar feature of the game was the number of safeties made, South- western making two and we making one. Springfield also kicked a field goal. Considering the condition of the team we played a remarkable game, one time carrying the ball by a series of lightning plays from the 55 yard line to the 1 yard line. The next week we played Columbus H. S. This game was a farce. The Normal played a listless game winning by the score of 16-0. Our next game was with the Mutes from Olathe. They were com- pletely outclassed. We piled up twenty-two points in the first two quar- ters, but were able to score only six more points the last half. They scored on a beautiful place kick from the 44 yard line. We beat Joplin H. S. 30 to 0 the next week and the week following played Parsons H. S. in a sleet storm. After about 19 minutes’ play they decided it was too cold so the game was called. Score, Normal 22, Par- sons 0. We got ours the 16th of November when the speed boys from Em- poria College took us into camp by the score of 50 to 0. They were fel- lows who had played a steady consistent game all year and we were com- pletely up in the air. They outclassed us without a doubt but the score doesn’t show the relative strength of the two teams. We rested then and layed for our old time enemy Springfield Nor- mal whom we played and defeated Thanksgivng day before a large crowd. There was considerable beefing on Springfield’s part but that is very often the case with them. The score was 5-0. —Capt. Ed. Dudley. REESE JACKSON DABBS SMILEY BUM ANN WELLS REVIEW ROYS’ BASKET BALL SEASON. basket ball season for 1911 and 1912 has been very in- teresting and successful. The schedule included some of the best teams in southern Missouri. The season opened Dec. 22, when we played the Jas- per County Athletic Club at Wetb City, Mo. They show- ed fine form and excellent training. The team made two more trips during the season, one trip to Springfield and Marionsville and one to Carthage. Two first teams were developed this year as three of the team who played the first part of the season had to quit because of their other school work. This made much of our former practice a loss. We also needed more room and practice time, having about three hours’ practice per week. Two former S. M. T. N. men were on the team this year. Dabbs and Smiley, they having played during 1909-1910. We expect better results in the future as S. M. T. N. will have a four year college course, making it possible for students to remain in school more than one or two years. Considering the difficulties we had to overcome we had a very good year. —Captain Paul Smiley. THE COACH BASKET BALI LINE UP Forwards --------- Center ........... Guard ...............

Much of the success of the first Basket Ball team was due to the second team. They played a fast, hard game at all times, making the first team work to keep ahead of them. Good material should be secured from this team for 1912-13. THE LINE UP L. Forward—THOMAS SNOWHILL. L. Guard WALTER MASON. Center—FRANK BURTON. R Forward—ELMER HUBBEL, R. Guard—CLARENCE McLELAND, Capt. REVIEW GIRLS’ BASKET BALL SEASON. HE girls’ basket ball season began early last Sep- tember when we began practice under the direc- tion of our coach, Miss Carter. The girls practiced hard and developed some fine players but on account of scar- city of funds we had few matched games. We played Fort Scott and lost by a score of 16-18. Our next game was with the Cha- nute High School, one of the fastest teams in the state, but the score was in favor of S. M. T. N. girls, 18 to 6. Our last game was with the Erie H. S. Score 17-0. The girls played swift, clean basket ball and if they had had an opportunity to play stronger teams would have worked up a faster, stronger team. Although some of the team girls gradu- ate this year, there is fine ma- terial for a winning team next year and here’s hoping for as good and faithful a bunch, as this year’s basket ball girls. —Nell Sears, Capt. —' -p SCHEDULE S.

N., but opened up late on account of the cold, wet weather. The pitching staff worked out some in the gymnasium before the diamond was fit for practice and more than twice the re- quisite number strived for a place on the team. Several of the former base ball players of the S. M. T. N. are on the list again. Ed Dudley, a star fielder of the team is playing the “sun field” this season. “Swat Mulligan,” an old ‘ timer is holding the initial bag down and hitting like the wind. We have one of the best line-ups ever had in the institution. The pitching staff is strong, and Cook, a “south paw” having been with us for the past two years, will have an opportunity to get revenge, for some of the S. M. T. N. opponents. The pitching staff at first comprised Burns, Cook and Strossnider, but owing to the shortness of infielders Strossnider shifted to shortstop where he has made an excellent showing and is one of the heaviest hitters on the team. Burns pitched a “no hit” game against Marions ville college, which was played on a slow field resulting in a vic- tory for the S. M. T. N. to the tune of 1 to 0. Mason, probably the best backstop that ever struck this institution knows how to handle his pitch- ers and has an accurate peg to second. He's a fellow that always is in the game. Twin Cy Burton and Johanson are loose on leases and nothing can stop them until they cross the “pan.” We regret that we cannot linger to chronicle a few more victories on the diamond for the team. The team takes a trip to Missouri for a ser- ies of four games, one with Marionsville, two with Drury college and one with Springfield Normal. The boys are all planning to have one big win, —Jesse Jackson, Captain. ..REVIEW BASE BALL SQUAD m TRACK ATHLETICS HE track work of the season opened up rather late on ac- count of the prevailing bad weather, but a few weeks of real work served to overcome this handicap. Although we miss some of our 1911 men, we were very fortunate in securing several A No. 1 athletes this season. The an- nual inter-class meet wras a success, favoring the College Juniors. Several records were broken, Earl Brown of In- diana breaking the mile record; Pomeroy, of this city, the pole vault and broad jump, and Snowhill of Winfield, Kansas, the 440 yard record. On account of Marionville College contracting a bad case of ‘‘cold feet,” the annual meet with that school was postponed. The enthusiasm of our Athletic Council in appropriating funds for our base ball team somewhat limited our meets this season. The important meet of the sea- son is to be with Ottawa University to be held on the Normal field, Sat- urday, May 25. This is to be our first meet with that university, but it is expected to be made an annual affair hereafter. They are represented as having a strong team, but the hard work of our men, combined with the enthusiasm of the student body will take the visiting team by storm. Following are the men representing the various events from which we expect to pick a winning team: 100 yard dash, Snowhill and H. Mc- Ginnis; 220 yard dash, Pomeroy, Burton and H. McGinnis; 440 yard run. Snowhill, F. McGinnis and H. McGinnis; High hurdlers, Baxter, Burton and Potter; low hurdles, Potter, Baxter, Burton and Pomeroy; half mile run, Brown, L. Williams, Bender and F. McGinnis; mile run, Brown Bender, Wiman and L. Williams; pole vault, Pomeroy, Humble and New- ton; high jump, Newton, Miller and Benton; shot put, Davis, Miller and Hubble; hammer throw, Davis, Miller and Hubble; discus, Burns, mile relay, Snowhill, Pomeroy, F. McGinnis, Brown, Potter and H. McGinnis. We are now laying the foundation for a strong track team in the future. We expect to keep all of our men for at least two seasons more and with new additions that are bound to come, we will make the tract- teams of the surrounding Colleges “sit up and take notice.” —Harry McGinnis, Captain.

SENIOR GIRL REFLECTIONS. When springtime comes a boy will resort to anything from croquet to cake making for amusement and when a girl will resort to anything from a half grown boy to a Normal Sophomore for an escort. The saddest sight on earth is a Senior boy trying to sew on buttons with a blunt needle and a piece of string. A lover looks at girls through rose colored spectacles, an old bach- elor through blue glasses and an S. M. T. N. professor through a mi- croscope. A good girl is known by what she does; a good boy by what he doesn't. The softer a boy's head the louder his socks. It is something of a shock to the sweet girl graduate who has spent her youth in digging up the Latin roots and Greek forms and acquir- ing knowledge of French, German and Hebrew to discover that the only language her lover really ap- preciates is baby talk. A flirt and his conscience are soon parted. Take a spoonful of violet per- fume, a pound or so of lace, a dash of music, and serve under good moon and almost any man will call it “Love.” SPLINTERS. Wanted: A vacuum cleaner; one of the Juniors wants to clean out his brain. In the Library: Bumann, reading Tennyson aloud, “Come lay thy sweet hand in mine and trust me for evermore.” Degen: I wonder what all the animals did those forty days in the ark? Dabbs: Oh, just laid around and scratched, I guess. Degen: Aw! scratched, nothing! What could they scratch when there were only two fleas? Trout, (telling the story of the first Thanksgiving), “and one day the Pilgrims looked across the waters and saw a ship coming. Now what do vou suppose was in that ship?” Potter, (in a flash of inspiration,) “Probably it was angels.” Probably. Normal Senior (in dry goods store,) “I want a new tie to match my appearance.” Clerk: “Here is a nice grass- green one marked down at half price.” Wanted: Some one to sell peanuts at the Orpheum. burj SOME DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AND A FEW FACTS hot at the end of the term. That Miller favors Girard. How to unwind May Klock. How to tame two white mice. How to make Patty keep still. That we have a slow bunch of boys. How Tanner managed to cut his hair. That most everybody studies too hard. That Stoffer gets moon struck sometimes. What to do when you haven't a friend in . the world. That Valarie and Jimmie make a cute but fussy couple. That the assembly has developed into quite a spoon holder. That Marie and Cy have great times on that old front porch. That Dana and Dabbs like front seats. That campusology is old and grandstand- ology is the coming sport. That Florence and Ed and Potter and Ethel are all that remain of our old stand-bys; although we have many promising young buds coming on. RECEIPT FOR FLUNKS. Take a string of bluffs, stir in a lot of thin excuses; add a few stalls according to taste; sift in an abundance of enthus- iasm; flavor well with moonshine caught on the numerous evening strolls; then stuff with one night's cramming and serve Senior, (teaching a class in model school,) what is the most import- ant event in Adam's administration? Pause, in which the silence could be felt. Senior, (addressing a bright looking girl,) you may tell us, please. Young lady, (much embarassed,) excuse me, I am not a member of the class. I am an observer. Senior! ! ! A book we would all appreciate for a gift—a check book. Introspection—Sitting on the fence and watching yourself go by. Jim: One should not accept a photograph from a young lady un- less one knows her name. Mae: It is not wise to send your name to a matrimonial club. It may fall into the hands of the wrong man. Perplexed: It is not customary to accompany a young lady more than three-fourths the way home from church. Brown: I would advise taking a chaperon when cut riding. However, more than four is superfluous. Three is plenty. C. R.: It would be courteous to apologize to a friend for being too attentive to the young lady with whom he has been going. James: No, we do not believe that baldness should be a hindrance. If she really loves you she will overlook such a minor detail. U-know: It is better for a young man to be provided with change for street car fare, as cases might occur when it would be useful. A. L.: If convenient, one’s clothing should be kept in one’s own room so as to avoid interrupting people who may be in other rooms. Lenora: I would hardly consider it proper to greet a young man who has come to call on me by throwing a bucket of water on him. Tom: If one is not enough interested in the lectures to keep awake, it would be “the manly thing” to speak to the professor about it after the class. Russel: The usages of good society permit of no liberties, and it would certainly be very rude to wash a young lady’s face when escorting her home. Gladys: I would not advise wearing more than two pairs of ear- rings a day. Some one might suggest that you were making an undue display of jewelry. M: It is not proper for young ladies to call upon young men. If you desire to see the gentleman on business, write him a note requesting him to call upon you. Prof.: It is not considered wise to permit pupils supposed to be working in the laboratory to waste their time in frivolous conversation and dancing the Highland fling. Pat: It would seem advisable to avoid positions which might demand an explanation when a kodak is pointed at you. The top of his head might not be cut off in the next picture. Brown Eyes: The young man may be permitted to escort you to dinner, spend two school periods with you and call in the evening but he should not be allowed to monopolize all your time. Mary S: You really are not entitled to the company of more than two men when coming from dinner. If a third one is thrust upon you look around for some one not so fortunate and share up with her. w Some Things We Can’t Forget J§ How sweet Miss Luedeking is. How valuable gym work has been. How hard to not cut class. How jolly to go to the games. How nice Prof. Yates is to the la- dies. How many tickets were sold to the chicken roost party. What good dinners the Y. W. girls serve. How some boys insist on wearing checkered ties. How we liked to sit in chapel . How to evade the prof. How accomplished Potter and Miss Martin became in the fainting scene. How disappointed the Juniors must have been not to get the front seats in chapel Commemoration Day, How hard it was to give up the Noel picnic. How nice it is to stroll out down the railroad track about two o'clock in the afternoon. How some of us couldn’t get our mouths puckered right when we whistled in chapel. When you're foolin' in the halls An' havin' lots of fun, Adaughin’ an' a-gibberin' As if your time had come, You'd better watch your corners An’ keep kinder lookin' out, Er Dr. Myers'll get you— Ef you don’t watch out. Call me early, mother darling, Call me early mother dear, For I fain would graduate With my class this year, And I must toil by gaslight, and Early wake to cram— How I tremble in my boots each time I take a stiff exam, So call me early, mother darling, Call me early, mother dear. WANTS Wanted:—Seniors who have not paid their dues.—Teasurer. Wanted:—Some one to sell tick- ets, all sorts, all kinds.—Fuhrer. Wanted to sell—A 5-lb. diamond, for fear of being robbed.—Potter. Wanted:—P� y the Senior Class.— BOYS. Wanted:—A quiet nook out of range of Dr. Myers' eagle eye.— Many retiring youths. Wanted:—Someone to love me, —B. Williams. Wanted:—Remedy for the spring fever.—The Faculty. How’re we goin’ to manage. An’ what’re we goin’ to do, An’ how re we goin’ to do it. When the Senior Class gets through? THE LAST OF THE CLASS PHOTOGRAPHER ...Ma (0ur Jruutiis To our friends who have made it possible for us to issue this annual KANZA by their loyal support, we wish to express our hearty appreciation. Our especial thanks are due the Chamber of Com- merce of Pittsburg, the friends who have favored us with their advertising, and the Student body for their liberal subscriptions. We, as Students, can return these favors, in a measure, by patronizing those who have shown their interest in us. We call especial attention of the Students who expect to teach to the firms who are making a specialty of manufacturing Manual equipment and sup- plies. We know they are all reliable, as most of them are represented by their products in our Manual Train- ing department.

The design of the sides, which is a new and distinctive feature, adds greatly to the strength and attractiveness of the Plane, as will readily be seen from the illustration. The new method of fastening the frog to the seat permits of the frog being adjusted either forward or backward without moving the lever or the cutter. The shape of the knob has been changed, the new shape permitting a much firmer and easier grip than before. The high grade of material and the great care taken in their manufacture enables us to guarantee these Planes in every respect, and repeat what we have already stated, that they surpass all other Planes ever offered to users of wood working tools.

But goods made on honor and sold on merit each and every one MUST have intrinsic value. SPECIAL TO MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL SUPERVISORS AND TEACHERS: BISHOP No. 90 It is evident to us from our study of the Manual Training move- ment in this country that lines of work for the “Elementary Schools'’ are receiving the greatest consideration. With this in mind we would call your attention to our special Saws. In designing these Saws the physical powers of the children have been carefully studied. At the same time our high standard has been maintained. The fact that over 50,000 of our Saws are in school use in different sections of this country speaks for their worth.
