It is this last which fixes our grade in society, and eventually our actual condition in this life, and the color of our fate hereafter. All the professors and teachers in the world would not make you a wise or good man without your own co-operation; and if such you are determined to be, the want of them will not prevail.” —John Randolph.

The Industrial Arts Department has made an enviable record in the past, and with our increased equipment and our modern Industrial Arts Building, we are now in a position to do even a better service than before. It will be the aim of this department to keep in the front ranks of educational progress in the industrial arts, and to continue to be the source of supply for successful manual teachers. The stand- m ard of preparation will be raised, and only thoroughly prepared teachers will be recommended forpositions. EDITI! M. M’BDEKING. Snow Coi.i.i:or.

One paramount aim of the Domes- tic Art Department of this school is to prepare teachers to present the subject in the public schools, both in the grades and the high schools. KLIZAH KT11 F VI TON.

The home and the school are the pillars upon which American institutions stand; and the proper correlation of these is the work of the coming years. J. A. VATES. B. S.. M. S.

The Department of Physical Science emphasizes the application of the facts contained in these sub- jects to the industrial activities of the twentieth century. Therefore, it offers, in addition to its regu- lar work, courses which are essential to other departments of the school; as, food and textile chemistry, physiological and agricultural chemistry, household and agricultural physics. The prepar- ation of teachers qualified to adjust their work to the life needs of their pupils, demands that they have a practical knowledge of the physical sciences. O. DELLINGER. A.B..IMI.

Biology gives the student the knowledge he needs in order to produce the best conditions of life for himself and those depending upon him. Through a knowledge of the laws of nutrition, reproduction, evolution, and heredity, he is able to control the bio- logical forces that condition his existence and to have dominion over all plants and animals, thus fulfilling his mission on earth.

Physi- cal Geography and Physiography give a general knowledge of the relief features of the earth and their modifications. Industrial and Commercial Geography supplement the industrial courses. Geography of History explains and illuminates history. Through- out all the courses, geographic environment as the key to human endeavor is the constant theme; thus laws, tendencies, and motives are understood, right efforts appreciated, and human weakness viewed with mercy. “To know the world is to love the world.” J' Wt' Mn .

Thus the courses in Mathematics have been arranged to be of the highest service to the industrial departments. These courses have also been arranged to be helpful to the Physical Science Department, especially Physics, and to correlate with as many other departments as possible. A College course is given, permitting students to major in Mathematics and obtain an A. B. degree. J.C.H S Ain . _____ LVSLE BROWKK, A. B. Univihnitv or Ii.liniiih. This department endeavors to give the student the power to see with clearer eyes the material by which he is surrounded, to enable him to give his ideas and projects concrete expression in forms of beauty—for true art must be expressed before it is beautiful—and to develop his taste and appreciation that he may be better fitted to meet the demands of a newer and better life.

A department of Latin, German and French might not be considered a necessary adjunct to a Manual Training School, looking at it from a narrow way; but that has never been the viewpoint of the Regents of the S. M. T. N., hence this department has an important place in the work of the school. These languages are required in a degree course, but the benefit of their study is not confined to that alone. An intelligent comprehension of their struc- ture, in composition, and translation gives one not only facility in their use, but opens an inexhaustible field of rich literature, a never failing source of profit and pleasure.

N. has never secured so much attractive work from the pupils enrolled as during the closing months of the present session. The “best papers” displayed on commemoration day by Miss Leach and Miss French were a real monument to true teachers. Miss Owen’s Class in the study of the “Epic” had written a book, named “Afterthoughts on the Study of Sohrab and Rustrum,” which was illustrated by John Wilkins. The following cuts which illus- trate “Afterthoughts” are pictures of Tamineh, the Princess-Mother of Sohrab, at different stages of the story. Kl SU M AM) TAMINKH. SOU RAB AND TAMINKlI. TAMINKH.

It has passed through mind after mind like water through the un- tainted depth of the earth, and springs to the places of its revelation, not a thing of the surface, but a thing from within where the sources of thought lie.

The Alpha Forensic Club is an organization devoted primarily to the interests of debating; and it is the first of its kind in the history of the institution, having been organized in the spring of 1911 with twelve charter members. The membership is limited to twelve and a system of rotation in office is employed, whereby in twelve consecutive weekly meetings each member will have filled each office at least once. The standard of the organization is high and no one is elected to membership unless he gives evidence of more than average ability in debate work. I his Club has, without exception, furnished every member of the inter-collegiate debating teams since 1911. Tlatonian. The Platonians like to debate And settle all questions of state; But when asked with good grace To fill up this space, Their doings they would not narrate.

Daniel Webster said that “the farmers are the founders of civilization and prosperity ’ If this has been true of the past, how much more so will it be true of the future; for the question of scientific farming has never been so much discussed as now. S.M.T.N. is taking an active interest in this problem and its solution, and to this end an agricultural club, which has been very much alive, was formed early in the school year. At the regular meetings of this club, various agricultural problems were discussed and much interest and enthusiasm aroused. It is evident that the members of this organization believe with Swift that “whoever makes two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, deserves better of mankind, and does more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together.” The Domestic Science Club. President - Grace Shields. Secretary - Bernice Schwinn. Treasurer - Margaret Coventry. The Domestic Science Club was organized last September by the students of the Domestic Science Departments, for the purpose of studying current literature relating to home economics, and of creating an interest in all questions pertaining the home. The meetings were held every Thursday afternoon; and “The Inventions of the Household,” The High Cost of Living,” “Adulteration of Foods,” and “The Complete Kitchen” are a few of the many topics discussed. In addition to the regular meetings the club had several social functions, during which they entertained the members of the Agricultural Club. The Club raised ten dollars for the Ellen K. Richard’s memorial fund, a practical demonstration of the value of the work of the organization. This Club will be continued again next year and promises to be a special feature of the Domestic Science Department. It has been very fortunate this year in having the services of a competent set of officers. Industrial Club. For the purpose of bringing together all those interested in the manufacturing and industrial subjects, relating t) vocational education, the Industrial Club was organized shortly after Christmas vacation. Weekly meetings have been held on Thursday afternoons. Among the outside lecturers to the club were: Mr. N. S. Sherman of Oklahoma City, who spoke upon the “Edu- cational Requirements of the Machinists trade,” and Mr. Cornell, foreman toolmaker of the Kansas City Southern Shops, who spoke upon the “Tool Room Problems in a Railroad Shop.” Owing to Mr. Sherman’s long career as a ma- chine builder, manufacturer and employer of skilled mechanics, his talk was a most profitable one to the club. Mr. Cornell gave a very practical explanation of the railroad’s economy in making things interchangeable. Messrs. Shirk, Elzinga and others discussed gasoline engines, electrical ignition, etc. In the education of teachers for vocational subjects, the Industrial Club of S. M. T. N. should become an im- portant factor. An invitation to attend these meetings is extended to all those interested in industrial work and its problems. GET BUSY! The world rolls on, from day to day, And idle men are in the way; The loafing graft will never pay; Get busy, then, get busy! Just feel that you’re of equal worth With any doggone man on earth, Regardless of his age or birth; Get busy, then, get busy! The man who loiters in the shade To watch the busy men’s parade Will find his hopes of fortune fade; Get busy, then, get busy! If you in feeble style depend Upon assistance from a friend, You’re sure to fail before the end; Get busy, then, get busy! And, having made your mind up quite, Show by your acts that you are right; Cut grass, cut grass, by day and night! Get busy, 0 get busy! —WALT MASON. Hail, social life! into thy pleasing bounds I come to pay the common stock, my share of service, and, in glad return, to taste thy comforts, thy protected joys.—THOMSON. Nanus Verez Society. The Manus Verez Society has closed another successful school year. Any deficiency in the number enrolled, has been more than compensated by the work and enthusiasm of its members, some of whom are especially worthy of praise. A number of good programs have been enjoyed. The journals have been particularly witty, and the extempor- aneous debates, entered into heartily by the whole society, have been a very successful feature. The reception to the faculty and college students, given at the beginning of the school year and the joint recep- tion given with the Porterians for the Ottawa foot ball team, received many favorable comments. The two new pictures, Homers “Alls Well,” and Corot's,“The Lake,” have been added to the hall. “A Reading from Homer,” the picture which was purchased several years ago, calls to mind the legends and history of the past. “Alls Well” represents one who has sturdily stood the storms of life in the past and will continue to do so in the future. “The Lake” is a representation of spring and happiness, and is expressive of the youth of the society and of our school.

The members of the Porterian Literary Society are united in their desire to promote greater fellowship in the society, to further the appreciation of literary excellence, and to be actively interested in the best activities of our nor- mal college. We have succeeded in carrying out the first part of our aim, and our social life has not been dormant during the past year. The reception, given in the fall to the faculty and college students, was a splendid success; as was also the one, given in conjunction with the Manus Verez Society, for the Ottawa foot ball team. Other social events of the year have reflected credit to the Porterians. Nor have we been lacking in the second part of our aim, the furthering of literary excellence. This was shown in the December contest, when the scene from Shakespear’s “A Midsummer Night's Dream, presented by four of our members, was awarded first place. Many new and desirable members, who will aid in building up our society and in keeping its high literary stand- ard, have been added to our roll during the past year.

It has keen said that “music washes away from the soul the dust of every-day life.” If this be true, all the dust should have completely vanished from S. M. T. N. for the voices of the glee clubs have been raised in continual song throughout the year. These two organizations deserve much credit for the willingness that they have shown at all times, to entertain the school with good musical selections. The Polymnia club has a membership of twenty-four this year, the largest number that it has ever had. The girls also introduced the club pin into their organization, so they will carry away a memento of the happy (?) hours spent in practicing for the various recitals and musicals. The Male Glee Club has an enrollment of sixteen members who are musically inclined, and who have made various sweet concords during the year. The boys are noted for their gallantry, especially to girls whom they meet in the • different towns when the clubs take their annual tour. The clubs have given a number of recitals during the year which have been very creditable: “Erminie” was the most successful entertainment they attempted. Pictures of scenes from this opera appear in the “Kanza.” ••KUMIMi;” SCION 10.S FROM Mason. Shearer. Roach. Roberts. horsythe. McLean. Gibson. Grahm. DeYoe. Buman. Gill. Caffey. Allison. Laney.

SCKN KS FROM “EKM I N I K SCKNKS FROM EKM IN I I Motto—He that would have friends must make himself friendly. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of the centers of social life in this school. It gives to the indi- vidual, friendship that is true, permanent and rich ,and helps each girl to live up to her best, to become a leader in school activities of comradship, dignity, and purity and to live an attractive Christian life. At the beginning of the school year the reception committee met the trains and assisted the new students in find- ing rooms. On Friday of the second week the Y. W .C. A. gave an acquaintance social in honor of the new students. Everyone enjoyed it and will remember it as one of the good times of the year. This association sent Ethel Marchfcanks and Adeline Chambers as delegates to the National Summer Conference at Cascade, Colorado. Mabel Cochran, Eula Dickinson, Hattie Scott and Ruth Swain went to the State Convention at Manhattan. Y. N. C. A. The aim of th Y .M .C A in this institution is to establish and help maintain a high standard in the social life of the student body, and to study the problems which confront the young men in their school life, and the solution of them. The “Y” meets every Monday morning for a short devotional meeting. The leaders for these meetings are se- lected from the student membership, from members of the faculty, and from i rominent business men of the city who are interested in Y. M. C. A. work. By selecting the leaders in this manner, new ideas are introduced in regard to Christian living in the various venues of life. In a social w°v. the Y. M .C A.. in connection with the Y. W.

The student publications of our school have certainly exemplified the latter part of Colton’s definition of the press; but have tried to avoid the censure of the rhetorician and have been unusually successful in this respect. The “Manualite,” formerly christened “Manual Normal Light,” has been a better, newsier, more spirited paper this year than ever before. For the first time in the history of the paper a copy has been issued each month after the election of the staff. The bulk of the credit lies with the Editor-in-chief, Miss Lena Martin; and the school owes to her a hearty vote of appreciation for the “steady, upright and down-right discharge of her official duty.” A copy of our second publication, “The Kanza”, is now before you. For four years this annual had been edited by the Sophomore class—the class graduating from the Life Diploma Course; but this year the Sophomores decided that the privilege did not belong to them, so the work was taken up by the Junior class. We have accomplish- ed our purpose, let others judge how well. Read it. therefore, that you may judge it; censure it for its faults; and praise it for its good qualities. The task of editing either of these publications is a great one; and a work which can not be accomplished in afew days or weeks. We suggest, then, that instead of electing the various staff officers at the last minute, that the editors of the “Manualite” be elected in the spring preceeding their year of service; and that the “Kanza” staff be chosen in the fall of the school year in which they are to publish the annual.

Editorials The 1913 “Kanza” is not a historical record of the school, neither is it a literary production; it does not aim to increase “your bump of knowledge,” nor does it pretend to supply you with material and food for reflection, except the reflection of the glad, oft-recalled school days at S. M. T. N. If then you ask the purpose of this book, this is our answer—in it we have tried to present, by picture and by word, the true, loyal spirit of the “Normal in the Southeast Kansas land.” Three cheers for the willing workers! There are individuals in this world, who, if they are asked to lend assist- ance to some project, always make some excuse for not doing it. The commonest of the excuses of such persons, is lack of time. We wonder if they ever heard the old saying that “you will never ‘find' time for anything. If you want time you must make it.” The trouble with most of the people who never have time for anything is that they do not want the time. We have met with this type of an individual in our editorial career; but we have also met with the opposite. This “Kanza” has been put out through the efforts of students who have “made” time. Besides the board, which is expected to give its time to this undertaking, there is one department in the school which, more than any other, has given valuable time and assitance. We refer to the department of drawing and design. We have appreciated even more the spirit with which the aid was given. This spirit—the true college spirit—must eminate from the head of the department, who, in his own language is “willing to do anything for the Kanza.” We par- ticularly appreciate the work of Miss Stamm. Miss Shell and Miss Miller who helped us so materially in decorating our book. Would that more of this spirit of cheerful willingness were abroad in the land! The business management of the 1918 “Kanza” has worked with this thought always in view—that the students of S.M.T.N. will want to publish an annual next year. This idea evidently did not prevail at all times during previous years; and we have therefore met with numerous difficulties. Whether we have succeeded in making things easier for the next year’s “Kanaz” board or not, we do not know; but such has been our aim. The management wishes to calj attention to the advertising section of the book, and we believe that those interested in the welfare of the school should give preference to the business houses that have patronized us. The end of the school year has come and with it comes a mingling of sorrow and joy—joy for duties well ac- complished, for friendships made during the year, for S. M. T. N’s. “mile stone,” the first degree class, and for all the good things which we expect her to accomplish in the years to come; sorrow for the things we have been unable to accomplish and for the parting which must come at each Commencement tide. But the friendships we have made and our love for our Alma Mater will never be forgotten,, for does parting mean forgetting? “What faithful heart can do these? Our great thoughts, our great affections, the truths of our life, never leave us.” President, L .E. Reavely; Vice-president, Glenn Skinner; Secretary and Treasurer, Eileen French. One of the best organizations of our school is the one which was formed in 1905 in the sewing room of the old Normal building—the Alumni Association. At this meeting there were present ten graduates from the S. M.T. N., five from the class of 1904 and five from the class of 1905. The following year on June 2nd the first banquet of the Alumni Association was given. Since these beginnings the Association has grown in strength and numbers; and each year many of the graduates from the various classes return to their Alma Mater to attend the annual business meeting and banquet of the Association. “The purpose of his organization is to promote the best interests of the S. M. T. N. at all times, and to perpetuate the bond of fellowship existing among the Alumni.” No school can be strong without the loyal support of its gradu- ates; and S. M. T. N. owes much of her growth to the splendid efforts of her Alumni. There is a tie which unites every Alumnus to every other Alumnus and to all the intersts and associates of the S. M. T. N., and this tie is strengthened by the Alumni Association. May that thread of all sustaining fellowship ever continue to run through all and to all unite to the S .M .T ,N. ‘ For when the one Great Scorer comes To write against your name, He writes—not that you won or lost— But how you played the game.” — The season opened with only two “M” men out in the “skins.” A goodly amount of football beef was to be found among the new material, however, and in a surprisingly short time the coach had a team rounded out that averaged 156 pounds. With this green material the coach, through hard work and continued efforts soon had the bunch in a pretty good shape although the first few games were necessarily played under a handicap. Games were played with Drury, the college of Emporia, Joplin Business College, Ottawa University, Southwest- ern College, Talequah and Springfield Normal. The Drury game ended with a score of 23 to 6 in favor of Drury. The men had traveled all forenoon to reach Springfield, and since it was the first game in which the men played together, the result was not in the least discour- aging. The game with Emporia College was taken by their well seasoned team that has played together for a num- ber of years. The game with the Business College was a walk away for the Manuals. The Ottawa game was one of the prettiest games that has ever been played on our grounds and when the whistle blew for the end of the last quar- ter we had a score of 6 while Ottawa had one goose egg. rFhe Southwestern game was the hard luck game of the sea- son but the game was hard fought and close and ended with a score of 7 to 6 in favor of Southwestern. The Talequah game was the hard fought engagement and we rather suspect that the Indians still wrap themselves in their blankets, draw near the camp fire and think of the game with unabating wonder and try to account for the score of 69-7 in our favor. There was not much to the Springfield game. The game from the standpoint of the Manuals was a fitting close for one of the most successful football years in the history of the institution . When a team from one College can score 150 against a heavier team from another school of the same rank, there is a reason. This year we consider it due to a good captain, a fine bunch of clean cut athletes and that eternal necessity for a good football team—a coach. CAPTAIN •KNOB POMEROY. Pittsburg. Kansas.

The work of this year’s basket ball teams was unusually good and S M. T .N. holds a splendid record in thi sport for the year 1913. Although the boys did not win a majority of the college games, yet the boys played good ball and won the rep- utation of being the cleanest team in this part of the state. So S. M. T. N. considers the season a success from the stand point of sportsmenship and clean athletics, if for no other reason. The men all played well, and not a word of jealousy was heard during the whole year. Johnson and Buman were splendid forwards; Wells made an excellent cen- ter; and Connor and Mac were the best guards the Manuals have ever had. Johnson was elected captain for next year, and S. M. T. N. believes that under his management the gcod reputation of our basket ball team will be sus- tained. The B. B. Girls of this year have enjoyed a most successful season of victories. Not only in this way were they a credit to the school, but they kept the spirit flowing when the tide was low. They were very successful in every activity in which they indulged. They made the foot ball men joyous, surprising them with the beautiful crimson foot ball blankets for the big Turkey day game. The visiting teams, as well as our own teams, remember our B. B. girls ’12 and ’13 for their warm hearted hospitality. The girls B. B .squad consisted of about twenty enthusiastic girls. They organized early in the fall with Ruth Swain as business manager and Eva Hurley, captain. The girls deserve much credit for the many things they have done for S. M .T .N. this winter. Adamson. Swain. Hurley. Wiel. Lindberg. Howard. Snyder. Johnson. Conner. Buman. McCreary. Wells. An enthusiastic squad of men opened the baseball season at S. M .T. N. “Cy Burton was the only man of last year's team in uniform, but the fellows went into practice with a determination to do something, and the results speak well for their effort. “Cy was unanimously elected captain and the work done during the first half of the season speaks well for “Cy’s” ability as a manager and captain. As yet, no college games have been played but we feel sure that our team would do very creditable work against any school competitors. “A fool there was who began to swear (Even as you or I) At a shirt and a shoe and a shock of hair (We call him the umpire who wasn't square). But the fool he called him names for fair! (Even as you or I). Oh! the balls we stop and the flies we pop And our beautiful clean base hits That are spoiled by the umpire that knows too much, (And now he knows tha'„ he knew too much, For we had to give him fits). Cushman. Woodin. Selders. Burton. McNalley. Bunian. Kerr. Molsworth. Johnson. Whittaker. Mathews Mascot) Track work for 1913 began February the twenty-fourth, and the continuous hard work of the team speaks well for the men. Probably the only meets entered into by S. M. T. N. in 1913 will be with Baker University and the State track meet. In the inter-class meet on May 17, with half a season’s training behind them, the team made new records in the following events: Shot put, Javelin throw, Discus throw, Half mile run, High hurdles and Mile run. When a full season’s training is completed and our men go to the State meet, we may expect great things. There is no doubt but that we have more men of ability than ever before, and we only need the opportunity for contests to make track athletics as popular as football, for our track team is in just as high a class as any other athletic teams, as the state meet is expected to show. This year marks the entrance of S. M. T. N. into strict college athletics, the high school department having a team of its own; and we expect, by the close of the season, to have earned a distinc- tive place in State field athletics. The coach is running his end of the training with the absolute precision necessary to a well balanced team. When we consider the fact that the number of students in a school has, in itself, nothing to do with the class of ath- letics that the school enters, and that the good old “pep” is the best possible help, all of us who have watched this year’s track squad at work will agree that, with the promise of a dozen meets as an incentive for next year’s track team, that far more honors will be won for our school than this year’s team has had the opportunity of winning.

The Porterian Journal which was to have been, but how different things might have been if they weren’t as they are. Before the contents of this be read, Please stop—look—listen. Think heavily on that motto I said, Please stop—look—listen. Consider awhile before you let fly An egg—a brick—or even a word, And then let it be on the deep, deep sly, After you stopped—looked—listened. 'mmmW' t a? Oi V % A 0 SURPLUS. Surplus is a strange, strange word to most students, and a pitiful word to the rest. We often gaze wonderingly at it on bank windows and press our nose hard against the glass and wonder—Oh well—we just wonder what the old folks at home are doing—and wonder how father is— and wonder if he is thinking of us—and wonder just how much he’s think- ing of us—and gee! but this Rah! Rah! life absorbs a lot of dear old dad’s chilly cash. But leaving financial sentiments entirely out—of course that’s easy— and explaining surplus. Now a good example of genuine surplus, we can find in Guy Pawling’s possession. Then we find a more psychical example in—we’ll say Skinny Dennis. He’s a nice boy, but his political creed has no much gas producing bacteria therein that he simply must prove a surplus. And there’s this and that surplus—etc., etc. But the moral—surplus is a good quality if associated with many like companions, but taken alone, it can’t stand the test of a panic.—Introspect—ladies and gentlemen— Introspect. That is to say in simpler language, don't we see things and interpret them thru our own ailing condition?—What! Why of course we do and you a); know it, too. Alright, beware of the next fool—liar—staller—gossiper—windjam- mer and hypocrit that you personally point out to your companion. Hark!—the moral,—Believe not that they who have fallen from the straight and narrow path, are lost; rather believe that you understand not. TARIFF. But let’s proceed to the “Tariff. Men, with peculiar quivers running up and down your back—like our friend the artist, our worthy “Johnny and, last but far from the least adoring, Silas Burton—as I started to say —diamonds are condemned to a 25' raise by congress—so you’d better buy it now even if you have to charge it. I’m also speaking to you, Mr. •Steele, a ft ft A a 0 Gi By the way—just because tobacco is likely to be raised, you needn’t, try to make smokestacks out of yourselves now. PERSONALS. Oh! Glenn Skinner! How our poor hearts yearn—yearn for you, Glenn. Why, my boy, we’ve stuck to you thru thick and thin. We’ve elected you President—we’ve elected you to debate for us—and, oh! Glenn, how could you be so cruel? Did he strike you in the back or did you just desert? How did that hostile Man-us Verez win our Alice from you? Why she was the fairest dame that ever lived, that loved, that liked—that looked with cheer. Poor, poor disloyal knight, why did you do it? Why? W e ail know of one innocent boy in this school whose rep is white as snow. But they say he is so fond of snow whiteness that on the opera picnic, he proceeded to exit from a moonlit darkness with his coat-shoulder and arm snow-white with perfumed feminine dust that brushes off. Oh, Benny!—Benny! beware of vile women that get—so tired in the loneliness of the moonlight. mm, First National Bank of Pittsburg United States Depositary.
