There- fore, we do not wish you to look at the book as though you were judging a work of art, but look for a simple portrayal of the history of (lie past school year. If, by so doing, you can, in days to come, recall pleas- ant and profitable mcm- mories, (he staff of the 1917 Kanza will not have work- ed in vain. OUR PRESIDENT U4u' Jmititutum Our Campus consists of fifty-five acres, upon which there are situated three splendid permanent buildings—Russ Hall, The Industrial Arts Building, and the Power Plant. The leg- islature, at its last session, voted us another beautiful building, Carney Hall, which is to be a Home Economics and Science Building. Also an auditorium with a capacity for three thousand people. Aside from these permanent build- ings, we have three temporary buildings, an auditorium, which will seat two thousand people, a building housing the commercial department and cafeteria. The cafeteria will be housed in the new Home Economics Building upon its completion. The color scheme of the buildings harmonizes beautifully with the landscape of this particular section of Kansas. They are built of red brick and trimmed with buff brick and terra-cotta. The enrollment of the Normal for this year has surpassed that of all others by far, being about 2800 for the school year. It requires a faculty of 60 instructors to take care of this ever increasing student body. rt X xn cn 3 X a X (j 0) X r Wood-’]'� ruing and Pattern Shop Wood-Turning and Pattern Shop DOMESTIC SCIENCE I.AHOKATOHY (0m Equipment The shops in the Industrial and Applied Arts Building- are among the best equipped shops, for the teaching of Industrial subjects, west of the Mississippi river. The Machine Shop is equipped with the best of modern iron and steel working machinery; consisting of lathes, planers, shapers, grinders, and milling machines, all of which are of standard makes. The Forge Shop is equipped with both hand forges and the down- draft system of forges; and power hammers for heavy work. The Foundry has an iron and steel cupalo and a brass furnace. The Cabinet and Furniture Shop and the Wood-Turning and Pattern Shop are almost completely equipped with individual motor driven high grade wood working machinery, manufactured by the Oliver Machinery Company, Grand Rapids, Mich., who have for years specialized in the manufacture of high grade wood working machinery for use in Manual Training and Vocational Schools. These shops are equipped with the fol- lowing Oliver Machines: 14 direct motor head lathes, 2 band saws, 1 band re-saw, 1 jig saw, 1 surfacer, 1 jointer, 1 mortiser, 1 tenoner and 1 auto- matic tool and knife grinder. These machines are eminently efficient and no little stress is laid upon the mastering of them by the boys in the shop. The Domestic Science laboratories have splendid equipment, two of them being equipped with gas fixtures and one with electric fixtures. K. iZA: EDWARD DUDLEY NEX A SMITH ESTHER GREEN F. A.

Spring Hark! the Hours are softly calling:. Bidding Spring arise, .... She must spread broad showers of daisies Each day more and more. In each hedgerow she must hasten Cowslips sweet to set; Primroses in rich profusion, With bright dewdrops wet, And under every leaf, in shadow Hide a Violet! Every tree within the forest Must be decked anew And the tender buds of promise Should be peeping through, Folded deep, and almost hidden, Leaf by leaf beside, What will make the Summer’s glory. And the Autumn’s pride. She must weave the loveliest carpets, Chequered sun and shade, Every wood must have such pathways, Laid in every glade; She must hang laburnum branches On each arched bough ;— And the white and purple lilac Should be waving now; She must breathe, and cold winds vanish At her breath away; And then load the air around her With the scent of May! Listen then, 0 Spring! nor linger On thy charmed way; Have pity on thy prisoned flowers Wearying for the day. —Selected.

YATES - President t - Vice President Second Vice President - Treasurer - Secretary W. D. ARM EXTROUT R. O. COURTRIGHT JOHN W. FUHRER. Director Physical Training Director John W. Fuhrer came to us during the fall of 1909, and his work since that time cannot be praised too highly. When Mr. Fuhrer came to S. M. T. N. he had charge of all athletics, including the boys' and girls' gymnasium classes. But S. M. T. N. has grown until now Mr. Fuhrer has two willing helpers, Miss Wiswell in charge of physical training for women, and R. 0. Courtright in charge of football, bas- ketball and baseball. In 1909 our school’s athletics were not up to the standard of high school athletics, but during Mr. Fuh- rer’s years of hard work we have raised to the level of other normal schools and colleges. Coach R. 0. Courtright came to us a year ago last September, and has given us two years of splendid ser- vice. “Corky” hails from Oklahoma University, and took his training from that school’s famous coach, Bennie Owen. When Mr. Courtright came to us his ability as a coach was unknown to almost everybody in the valley; but his success at S. M. T. N. has won for him a wide reputation as a coach of college athletics. CAPTAIN CARL COCKERILL, It. H. B. Height 5 ft., 8 in.; Weight 160 lbs. Carl is a Pittsburg boy, and landed right half-back on the first all-state team. He has been with us two years, and has always been a dependable player. Carl never loses his head in a close place. He made a record this season returning punts, making three 80-yard runs for touchdowns. JOHN LANCE, C. Height 6 ft.; Weight 170 lbs. This was John's first year at the game, but by hard work he was able to land a berth on the Varsity. He developed an accurate pass and good defensive tactics. If all goes well, John will he back, fighting for S. M.T. N. next year. LON TURNER, L. Ci. Height i ft.; Weight 180 lbs. “Doe” comes from the I.one Star State. Every ounce of his 180 lhs. is full of grit and fight. This is Lon’s first year at the game, but he developed into a real star. He was cool and calm at all times, and usually did more than his part. Turner will not he with us next fall, due to failing health. EDWARD DUDLEY, R. E. Height 0 ft.; Weight lti.'l lhs. “Dud” comes to us from Duluth, Minn., and has been at S. M. T. N. for three years. He had been out of the game for the past three years, and was rather slow in coining back to his old time form; but near the end of the season he was a regular demon. Fear is some- thing unknown to Dudley. Ed. graduates this year, but he will always be for S. M. T. N. KW A' JAMES. HYNDMAN, R. T. Height 5 ft., 9 in,; Weight 255 lbs. “Jum” comes to us from Beulah, Kans. Me has been at the game long enough to know all the tricks of the trade, making a very valuable man at solving the opponents' formation. ‘Mum’ was always a stone wall on defense, and it was always safe to send a man over his side of the line when a, gain was needed. It was said that it was worth the price of admission to see ‘Mum make one tackle swing. HOMER JOHNSON, L. II. B. Height 5 ft., 6 in.; Weight 1G7 lbs. “Windy comes from Eureka. Kansas, and is made of all the stuff it takes to make a foot- ball player. This was “Windy’s” first year with us and he made a great showing, fter the war. for he has gone to fight for Old Glory, he hopes to return to battle once again for S. M. T. N. K. iZA. LcliOY ANDREW, L. T. Height (i ft.; Weight 20� lbs. “Andy” comes from near Girard, anil has landed all-state positions for both years he has played. He made the third all-state guard last year, and first all-state guard this year. Andy is one of the best players ever turned out at S. M. T. N. He is big, fast, and al- ways plays a hard game. “Andy” will most likclv be hack next year. NOBLE PATTERSON, R. G. Height 5 ft., 11 in.; Weight 1 5 lbs. “Duke” comes from Wellington, Kans., He has been with us for two years, but graduates this year. He was always at the right place at the right lime and a play never got by him. Although “Duke” was out of several id our games with a broken ankle, he was a great help to the team, and will leave a big hole to be filled. JESS PROCTER, Q. B. Height 5 ft., 9 in.; Weight 152 lbs. Jess comes to us from Lamont, Okla., and made a great quarter hack. Jess was not only a good general, hut he was also a great defen- sive player. “Proc has been with us for two years, hut we are afraid matrimonial affairs will prevent his returning to school next year. FLOYD BRIAN, II. B. Height 5 ft., 8 in.; Weight 15(1 lhs. Brian comes from Wellington, Kans, and is ns clean a football player as ever donned the moleskins. He is strong, fast, and a willing worker, and another year under Coach Court- right will make him a valuable player. K. ZA CAPTAIN-KI.ECT ('LAY COCK KRILL F.B. Height 5 ft., 10 in.; Weight 17:i lbs. Clay is a brother of Carl, living in Pitts- burg. Clay landed the full back position on the second all-state team. This was his sec- ond year with us. Clay is a very progressive player and will make the team a great cap- tain next season. C. E. JOHNSON, it. E. Height 5 ft., 8 in.; Weight 155 lbs. Eddie is a brother of “Windy,” living in Eureka. This was Johnson’s second year on our team. He is a fine tackier and never lets a play go around him. “Quack is an expert at receiving forward passes, and will be back next year to help us win the conference title. ANDREW KOONTZ, E. G. IIcight 5 ft., 11 in.; Weight 170 lbs. Knout , is u Columbus, Kuns., boy, uml a very promising football player. This was his first year at S. M. T. N., but he will be with us for several years yet. He is n steady, hard player, and was a great help to the team. JOHN DAVIS. I . E. Height 5 ft.. !) in.; Weight 152 lbs. John is a Pittsburg product and a mighty end. He never says anything, but always makes up for his lack of speech in actions. This was John’s first year on the team, but his “never-sny-die” spirit made him a very popular player. KAfzA firtrtnu nf thr Sraamt When Coacli Courtright called the football squad together a week before school started, seven letter men and thirty other promising looking huskies responded to the call. The 1916 football season was unquestionably the most successful season that S. M. T. N. has ever played; but we are not contented with winning seven out of ten of the hardest games ever on an S. M. T. N. schedule. We have ten games scheduled for next year, six of which are conference games, and if the war doesn’t spoil our team it is going to be “ten straight and a conference title.” This was Courtright’s second year at S. M. T. N. and the men started practice with lots of confidence in his coaching, knowing the success that he had had the year before with practically a green squad to work with. With a lot of competition, every man had to work hard for a posi- tion on the team, and by working hard the team was in first-class physi- cal condition by the end of the three weeks, when a squad of twenty men journeyed to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to meet the fast Arkansas Uni- versity team. The game with Arkansas was the first game with a university that any team from S. M. T. N. had ever played. Although the “Razorbacks” won by a 34 to 20 score, they knew they had played a real team. The first quarter ended with the score standing 13 to 7 in our favor. During the second quarter Carl Cockerill made an 80-yard run, through the entire Arkansas team. The first half ended in a 20 to 20 tie. The boys from the hills seeing that they had a hard scrap on hand, came back the third quarter and scored two touchdowns. This ended the scoring, neither side being able to force the ball very far into the opponent’s territory. The good showing made against Arkansas gave the team a determina- tion to even up with a few of the teams that were accustomed to taking the long end of the score in games with S. M. T. N. So the next week when Drury came to Pittsburg we tasted victory over them for the first time. The game was fast and hard-fought from the start until the final whistle blew; but the visitors were no match for our team, thirty-five yards being the nearest they ever came to scoring. Just to finish the game up properly. Captain Carl Cockerill made another eighty-yard run for a touchdown, making the final score 21 to 0. REVIEW OF THE SEASON—Continued The hardest game of the season was played Oct. 13th, when the Em- poria Normals invaded our camp. “Jum,” our big right-tackle, was ruled ineligible to play in conference games, so Patterson was shifted to that position for the Emporia game. The first half was very exciting, ending in a 0 to 0 score. Emporia came back and scored a touchdown in the first part of the third quarter; but not until after Patterson had been removed from the game on account of a broken ankle. We received the ball, after Emporia’s touchdown, on the 20-yard line, and began a steady advance up the field, never losing possession of the ball once until after it had been safely carried over the Emporia goal. The last quarter was fought in the center until Emporia completed a long forward pass and scored another touchdown, making the final score 14 to 7. The next week our team in a somewhat crippled condition went to Winfield to play the heavy Southwestern team, another one of our un- defeated rivals. The game started with a number of second string men in the lineup; but they proved themselves superior to their opponents in every department of the game, the first half ending 14 to 7 in our favor. The third quarter our boys came back strong and scored two more touchdowns, bringing the score up to 27 to 7. At the beginning of the fourth quarter the Coach put every substitute player he had with him into the game. Koontz was soon injured but could not be removed. About the middle of the quarter Turner was injured and Clay Cockerill sprained his knee, leaving eight good men in the lineup. As a result. Southwestern scored two touchdowns in the last five minutes of play, making the final score 27 to 21 in our favor. The game with Henry Kendall was the only bad defeat we suffered the entire season. With Clay Cockerill and Duke Patterson both out of the game the fast Kendall boys piled up a score of 49 to our 3. Andy saved us from a shutout when he kicked a pretty goal from placement from the 45-yard line. The Kendall players did all of their scoring in the first and third quarters, being unable to force the ball near our goal in either the second or fourth periods. REVIEW OF THE SEASON—Continued We handed Springfield Normal a good defeat the next week, when we won from them on their home grounds 22 to 2. With Patterson still out of the game, and both of the Cockerill boys on the side line, our boys were able to march the ball down the field almost at will. A great victory for S. M. T. N. came the next week, when our team went to Warrensburg, Mo., and played the strong Warrensburg Normal team. The two teams seemed to be about evenly matched at first and the first half ended in a 0 to 0 tie. Our boys came back strong the last half, and carried the ball down the field for long gains, time and time again, only to have it brought back and to be penalized for various offenses. The last quarter, however, we got to going right, and in three minutes carried the ball over for the first touchdown. With only two minutes of play left. “Windy” Johnson grabbed one of Warrensburg’s long for- ward passes and raced 65 yards for the second touchdown, bringing the final score up to 12 to 0. We had no trouble in downing Midland College by the one-sided score of 33 to 0. The Midland boys fought hard but were no match for our team, being unable to advance the ball to within striking distance at any time. We won a hard-fought game from Ottawa University the next week, by a 7 to 0 score. The first half was a nip-and-tuck affair, neither side being able to score. Our Manual team came back the third period with its old-time punch and scored the only touchdown of the game. The last quarter was full of sensational runs, and forward passes; but again neither team could score, leaving the score at the end of the game 7 to 0 in our favor. . - On Thanksgiving Day before the largest crowd that ever attended ar. S. M. T. N. football game, we won from the Oklahoma Central Normal boys, who have been normal school champions of Oklahoma for the past three years. The game was fast and well played from start to finish. We scored the only touchdown of the game in the first quarter, making the score at the end of the game 7 to 0. (Samps lfllfi S. M. T. N 20 s.

GOODWIN, COACH COfRTRIGIIT Bottom Row—WALKER, LANCE, YORK, CLAY COCKERII.L, STCROEON iSrntPUt of tlip S’paaon The 1916-1917 basketball season was the first full season of college games ever played by a Manual team. The team did not make a very good showing at the start, but came to life about mid-season and finished playing a better brand of ball than has ever been played by Manual teams of previous years. The season opened early in January, when we played the Pittsburg Y. M. C. A. on our own court. During part of the first half it looked as though the “Y” boys had the edge on our team; but as soon as our boys got settled it was easy to be seen which side would win. Courtright’s pupils had no trouble in winning 29 to 24. We next took on the fast Springfield Normal team, winner of the Missouri Conference, for a couple of games. Our team made the visitors a good even match the first half of each of the games, but could not cope with the fast Missouri boys during the last periods and Springfield won both games, 42 to 26 and 45 to 27. Coach Courtright was looking for a good team to play next, when he learned that the Fort Hays Normal team was on an eastern tour, and by special efforts he got the Western Kansas players to come to Pittsburg for two games. Again our boys played wonderful ball the first half, but failed to come back with the necessary punch that it takes to win basket- ball games. Although we lost 41 to 29 and 43 to 27, they were two great games, and we hope to have the opportunity to tangle with Fort Hays in future years. The Emporia Normal team, winner of the Kansas Conference title, came to Pittsburg Feb. 2nd and played one game. Emporia started off with a lead of about ten points, but we soon came back and took the lead, holding it until near the end of the first half. Again the team went to pieces in the last half and1 lost 48 to 24. The next week the Y. M. C. A. boys thought that they could trounce the college boys, so a game was played on the “Y” court. The Manual team, with several subs, in the lineup, had no trouble in defeating the “Y” boys 63 to 29. The team next journeyed to Warrensburg, Mo., and on the nights of Feb. 12th and 13th played the Warrensburg Normal team, winners of the Normal School Championship of Missouri and Kansas. Our boys did not have much of a chance against such a team; but they fought hard and made the best showing of any team that had opposed the Warrensburg quintet up to that time, scoring 29 to Warrensburg's 53 the first night and 30 to their 53 the last night. The squad felt encouraged with the splendid showing made against Warrensburg. and met the Oklahoma Central Normal the 16th and 17th of February with all the fight they had. The 0. C. N. boys made quite a REVIEW OF THE SEASON _ Continued record in Oklahoma, defeating the University, but they were no match for S. M. T. N. The first game was a romp for us, the score being 55 to 24 in our favor. For the second game the O. C. N. players came back with all the fight they had, but could not succeed in winning, so had to take the small end of a 33 to 42 score. The team took a trip into the northern part of the state, and on the night of Feb. 22nd played the strong Ottawa University team at Ottawa. Ottawa had it on the boys in size, and got away with a good start, leading at the end of the first half, 26 to 13. Courtright put the fight into his boys between halves, and they came back and scored 17 the last half to Ottawa’s 14, making the final score 40 to 30. The S. M. T. N. basket tossers played Baker University the next night at Baldwin. The fight that they had developed the night before was still in their blood, and Baker crumbled before the fast floor work of the Manual team. The first half was fast and close, ending 10 to 7 in our favor. During the second half our boys could not be headed, and handed defeat to Baker, 36 to 17. On the night of Feb. 24th the team met the mighty St. Marys team, and by playing the best ball the boys had played all season succeeded in handing St. Marys the second defeat of the season by a 36 to 33 score. The first half ended in a 15 to 15 tie. The last half the Manual boys came back with the punch that was lacking during the first of the season, and won by a close score. Just to wind the trip up right the team played the fast Haskell Indians at Lawrence. It was a rough-and-tumble game from start to finish, and we should have won on free throws; but as luck would have it, “Walk” was off, the first and last time during the season, only making 10 out of 21 free throws. Consequently we lost by the close score of 29 to 31. The Baker University boys came to Pittsburg Feb. 28th for revenge, but again were unable to handle the Manual boys as they would have liked. The first half was a one-sided affair, ending 27 to 11 in our favor. Baker played better ball the last half, but lost in the end by a 48 to 31 score. The last games? of the season were played at home against the War- rensburg Normal. These two games will long be remembered by the five hundred loyal rooters who came out to help the team fight. The first game was fast and hard-fought; but the Warrensburg boys always had the edge on the Manual boys, winning by a 51 to 40 score. The second game was a “ripsnorter.” It was anybody’s game all the way, and as usual Warrensburg got the breaks in luck and the visitors were in the lead by three field goals when time was called. We lost 30 to 26, but the Missouri boys “sure” had to fight for it. arark Qlrark ©utlook Track has taken on a different appearance this spring, due to the fact that we are not going to have a college baseball team. Director Fuhrer got his distance runners together early in February. In spite of the fact that he had but few men with any experience, he has build up a squad of distance men that will be hard to beat. Immediately after the close of the basketball season, every track athlete began real training for the second annual indoor, inter-class meet, which was held in the Auditorium on the night of March 23rd. The Freshmen won the indoor meet, having entries in all the events, and scoring 39 to the Sophomores’ 29, to the Juniors’ 13, and to the Seniors’ 1. --------o-------- Result of Second Annual Indoor Meet. 25 Yard Dash—Van Norsdall 1st, Carl Cockerill 2nd, Smith 3rd. 3 2-5s 440 Yard—Taylor 1st, Smith 2nd, Nation 3rd ............. 61 3-5s Half Mile—Taylor 1st, Nation 2nd, Lucas 3rd 2:27 3-5s Mile Run—Flottman 1st, Lucas 2nd.

Carl Cockerill 1917 Our track team is not as strong as it appeared at first, due to the sickness of Clark, one of our most promising distance men. Clay Cockerill, probably the fastest man in school, will be unable to participate in the sprints on account of a bad knee. Carl Cockerill, hurdler and weight man, has dropped track, for lack of time for training. We have three dual meets and the state meet, which is the heaviest track schedule S. M. T. N. has ever had. Southwestern was the first team to invade our camp, taking the long end of a 64A to 66A score. It was a great meet from start to finish. Due to the heavy condition of the track the races were rather slow, but the two teams were so evenly matched that great interest was shown until the last runner on the Southwestern relay team breasted the tape, de- ciding the meet. ---------o--------- M” Btn Football Baseball Basketball A.

M. T. N. last fall and took charge of the girls’ athletic work. In addition to the regular gymnasium classes, Miss Wiswell organized classes in play-ground ball, vol- ley ball, tennis, and other games that could be played to advantage on the campus. When the basketball season opened a number of teams were formed. An inter-class tournament was held, some splendid games being played, and still later in the season an intra-mural league was organized. A pennant was offered to the winning team in this league and much interest was taken in the games. In the regular gymnasium work particular attention was given to aesthetic dancing and Swedish (corrective) gymnastics. These exercises not only assist in the upbuilding of the body, but are invaluable in the acquiring of bodily grace. The climax in the aesthetic dancing work came the 25th of April when the Greek Masque, ‘'Pluto and Perserphina,” was given on the campus in front of Russ Hall by four hundred girls. The pageant was witnessed by an audience of approximately 5000 people, and was one of the most spectacular attractions of its kind ever produced at the Normal.

T)ERHAPS it is true that a college is a place to learn things, but the stu- dent who is too busy to take an active part in the social life of the school is missing one of the most important things in a liberal education. Long after class-room lectures have been forgotten, and ponderous note- books have been relegated to the flames or stored away in some secluded corner, the memory of the fellowship and pleasure derived from the school organizations still linger to brighten the pathway of life. An educa- tion that does not teach one how to live a life is not all that the name implies. The social organizations of S. M. T. N. are both cultural and edu- cational, and are equally as important in the training of those who secure an education here as the subjects prescribed by the course of study. These activities supply the proper condiments to the mental food served by the professors of our institution. While there are several new organizations this year, most of those listed in this department are of sufficient age to be a part of the school curriculum. Each new organization was created in order to accomplish some definite purpose in the social and educational life of the State Manual Training Normal. School organizations are not everything; neither is knowledge every- thing. But the student who mixes the proper amount of knowledge with the proper amount of social life while in college, is the student who will make the greatest success in this old world of ours. May the student or- ganizations of S. M. T. N. continue to grow in number and influence as the years come and go, and as our school climbs to the position of eminence that it is bound to reach in the field of Twentieth Century education. $tejjrhfllng}j GUttb OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester President - - KITTY CADWKLL President - - CHAS.

So when the organizer appeared in the person of Kitty Cadwell, there was no lack of enthusiastic support after it became known that Professor Armentrout had consented to lecture and to lead the discussions. The constitution states that “The purpose of the club is to gain knowledge of psychology and its practical application to current prob- lems.” How supremely well the leader has succeeded in selecting practical problems to be discussed may be judged from the following subjects that have been before the club: “Some Psychological Aspects of the War.” “Simple Curves in Business.” “Psychology of Pveligion.” “Psychology Underlying Santa Claus and Christmas.” Some of the most interesting and complicated subjects have been presented in a series of lectures. “Sleight-of-hand Performances and Hypnotism.” 1. “Deceptions.” 2. “Mental Telepathy.” 3. “Hypnotism.” In the next series on “Feeble-mindedness,” Dr. Dellinger contributed the first two lectures in order that the viewpoint of the biologist might be presented. 1. “Evolution.” 2. “Heredity.” 3. Heredity of Mental Characteristics.” 4. “Feeble-mindedness.” Other teachers have been invited to address the club on the psy- chology of their departments; Professor Pease on the “Psychology of Language,” and Professor Bowen on “What Psychology has contributed 1o Education.” First Itow—CAFFKY, REEVES, SMITH, CAN VILLE.

Social Activities have given place to quite a degree this year to functions of school-wide interest. The League has made and disposed of a hundred S. M. T. N. rugs of crimson and gold, and could easily have doubled the sale if it had been possible to prepare the material for the looms. Lectures from city teachers, prominent persons and specialists from our own • faculty, make a very desirable lecture course dealing with problems incidental to work in the primary grades. One source of revenue for the League has been found in serving light refreshments such as cocoa and pie, coffee and ginger bread, etc., in the lower hall. Thirty-seven members of the League accepted desirable positions in town schools last year. Six were married during the year. Owing to the crowded condition of the recitation rooms, the perma- nent League decorations have not seemed advisable this year, but each member of the class is to take home a living League memorial in the form of a dwarf tree, planted by the members of the class and cared for by them in the windows of the class room.

JONES Last fall some of the Catholic girls of this institution conceived the idea of forming a club or society through which the girls of their faith might become better acquainted and, united, do what little they might for the church. Officers were elected and a successful year was begun. Meetings were held the first and third Wednesday of every month and something of interest was planned for every meeting. In order to get acquainted a “kid” party was held, and it was such a success that several picnics and parties followed. Several unique plans were also employed to make money for the church and Mt. Carmel Hos- pital. It was found while looking for a suitable name for this organization that several like clubs were already founded in normal schools throughout the United States, each bearing the name of Newman Club. This name was readily accepted by the local society. This section is. as yet, too young to be a fraction of the National Newman Club, as most of the other organizations are, but the members sincerely hope that within a very short time they may join this National Society and enjoy its privileges.

N.. composed of musicians, students of the piano under Gertrude Concannon, Director of the Piano Department. The club was organized at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Concannon- Bannister, Sept. 21, 1916, with Esther Stewart as President and Glenn Litton as Secretary. The ideal of the club is to promote musical events and help boost any good musicales given in Pittsburg, to be instrumental in bringing artists to this community to play, and to make a home study of pianists and composers. The club has introduced Miss Grace Adams of Kansas City and Louis Persinger of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra during the year. Miss Adams, a former pupil of Gertrude Concannon and a pianist of unusual ability, appeared in a recital at Paiss Hall the evening of March 16th; while Louis Persinger, who is a violinist of note, gave a recital in Pittsburg the evening of May 4th. This club meets once a month at the home of some member or of Mrs. Bannister.

Members are selected from the more able singers of the school, and in this way a high standard has been upheld in the completed work. The club appears in public concerts frequently, and also aids the singing in the school chapel. In connection with much hard practice, the club enjoys a fine social life. The Polymnia Club in conjunction with the Orpheus Club forms the nucleus of the large chorus which renders the greatest of all oratorios, “The Messiah,” in the musical festival week participated in by the school. The organization assisted in making the program a success during the S. E. K. T. A. meeting at Chanute, and with the Orpheus Club was the life of the S. M. T. N. banquet. Concerts were given this spring in Girard, Pittsburg, Joplin, and various other towns in this section of the country. The Polymnia Club with Prof. Walter McCray as director is one of the chief factors of the school. PERSONNEL MYRTLE HAMRICK HELEN CARTER EDYTH MAGLEY MARION LISK LORETTA WELCH El .1 .

W. PATTERSON .1 ESS PROCTER One of the best achievements for a school is to have a real live male glee club. A club, not composed of members who can make the most noise, but one that can produce harmony from the most difficult music, is the one which shows training and efficiency. This club is com- posed of men who mean business in every sense of the word, so it is useless to say that it was much appreciated whenever a public preform- ance was given by its members. Under the leadership of Prof. Walter McCray the club members have made rapid progress, having started to work on concert pieces, and at the beginning of the second semester they were singing selections from Grand Opera, and selections that no other school clubs in the state were singing. It was not until the second semester that the club appeared before the public. Its first appearance was at the South Eastern Kansas Teachers’ Association at Chanute, in January. Several trips to neighbor- ing towns were made later in the spring, which met with good success and won high honors for the club members and the director. The Orpheus Club this year excelled all its past records and was with- out a doubt the best organization of its kind that the school has ever had. It was composed of twenty-six of the best trained voices that the school possessed in the musical line. This club in connection with the Polymnia Club formed a nucleus of a chorus of four hundred and fifty voices which rendered the “Messiah.” THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB ARE AS FOLLOWS: First Tenors V. L.

T. CASS OFFICERS - President - Vice President - Secretary - Treasurer Chairman Devotional Committee Chairman Soeial Committee Chairman Membership Committee Chairman Advertising Committee Chairman Bible Study The Young Men’s Christian Association of S. M. T. N. is an organization of the young men of the school who have as their aim the highest of ideals in mental, physical and spiritual growth. They recognize that the properly developed man must essentially train each member of this Trinity. With this end in view, they choose speakers for their weekly devotional exercises who addressed them on subjects tending to point the way to these various phases of life. The fellows who belong to this Association are “live wires” in the student activities of the school. They are the ones to depend upon to back up any honorable and worthy cause for the development of the social life of the school. The “stag socials” they have given in the way of entertainment for the men were always a pronounced success in taking the “grown-up-boys” back to the time when they ran barefooted in “heroic gangs.” The men of the Association have also been behind the athletics of the school all year and in many cases have been active par- ticipants. In the intra-mural basketball games they made the natives “sit up and take notice,” although they met their “Waterloo” in the finals. Most of the students of S. M. T. N. come here either to develop their mental or their physical self, or both, and often neglect the third factor, which is just as important for the production of a real teacher of human- ity. Realizing this, the Association has placed most of its stress upon the spiritual uplift of the school as a whole as well as of individual mem- bers. Although the organization has not been held before the eyes of the public in a brilliant luster, it has by no means hid its candle under a bushel; but has quietly and effectively gone about its own business of uplifting the social standards of the school by silently dropping a seed here and another there. This has been greatly aided by a small Bible class of sincere fellows meeting once a week, where views were discussd concerning the practical-life problems in the Book, in a systematic but informal and effective way. In order that their views might be broadened in their Christian work, the members of the Association have sent delegates to all of the various Y. M. CJ A. movements over the state. At present they are planning on sending a delegate to the National Y. M. C. A. convention at Estes Park, Colo., in June. The Y. M. C. A., though small in numbers, has been a progressive organization all year; and the cabinet members deserve commendation for their untiring interest and co-operation in the development of the progress of the Association throughout the year.

The name selected for the organization was “The Forum.” For the first time in the history of the Normal, the debate work was made co-educationah the membership of “The Forum” consisting of both young men and women. But the ladies of the club were not contented to sit idly by while the men took part in the inter-collegiate contests. Chal- lenges were sent to the girls of both the Fort Hays and Emporia Normals to meet the S. M. T. N. girls upon the forensic platform in a dual contest. The Fort Hays debaters promptly accepted the challenge, but the Emporia girls declined to meet the S. M. T. N. speakers. The culmination of the debate work of the year was the quadrangular contest between the Pittsburg and Fort Hays Normals the night of April 13th. za First How—FItITTF.lt, CH HIST MO UK, BABB.

Seven of the higher educational institutions of the state sent representatives, our orator being T. F. Ziegler. The subject of Mr. Ziegler’s oration was “Altruism, the Road to Everlasting Peace.” First place in this contest was awarded the Fairmount College speaker. ---------o-------- Kansas Inter-Normal School Oratorical Contest. This contest was held at the Fort Hays Normal, Hays, Kansas, the night of April 2nd. Orators from the three normal schools of the state took part, our contestant being E. M. Banzet. The subject of Mr. Banzet’s oration was “Progress of Universal Peace.” The Fort Hays speaker was awarded first place. Chapel Debate. The two men’s debate teams were called upon to take part in the chapel exercises the morning of April 17th, and a lively contest was staged by them. The question discussed was the same as the one used in the inter-collegiate debates, the permanent retention of the Philippine Islands. H. R. Carey and E. F. Hudson upheld the affirmative, while I. G. Morrison and E. M. Banzet were the negative speakers. As in the other contests, the decision was in favor of the negative. Agricultural (Club OFFICERS First Semester. Second Semester.

Itt’TH VAN IIOUTEN About five years ago under the leadership of Prof. B. W. Scheib, the first Agricultural Club was organized. The object of the club has always been to promote an interest in methods of better farming among its members. Scientific agriculture is becoming the most important factor of the age. The club is doing much in this line of work by the discussion of better farming methods, dairying, poultry culture, fruit farming, and the fertilization and irrigation of lands. Rural sanitary conditions and the beautifying of the country home and its improvement and many other problems of great importance are discussed. The members of the club are doing their part to see that every available foot of ground is planted in some food crop this spring, to assist the Allies in winning the war. Prof. Scheib has for several years preached the doctrine of the conservation of food by the organization of canning- clubs, and this spring he is receiving many calls to assist in forming such clubs. The club members are also assisting in spreading information regarding the production and conservation of food supplies. The club is also active in school life. In the intra-mural basketball tournament the farmers were beaten by no other student teams. Early in the fall the members took a hike to the creek east of town and enjoyed a “weiner” roast. Since that time taffy pulls and other get-together meetings have been held. Probably the part most enjoyed by the agri- culturalists is the splendid lunch which is prepared by the girls of the club each Wednesday. The Agricultural Club has enjoyed one of its most successful sea- sons, due mainly to the willing response and co-operation of its members. tbMT? mA iBmutfi Jmz Kitrrary Swirtg OFFICERS First Semester.

BABB Of the many pleasant and important associations which the college student forms, those he may develop to the full in a live literary society are not the least. It is the purpose of the Manus Verez Society to pro- vide an opportunity for students to engage in and enjoy the social and literary phases of school life. We only regret that more students do not recognize the value of a work carried on by the students’ own initiative and not made a duty by faculty instruction. Our slogan is “freedom and democracy” for all, and it is our policy to help every one of our members to feel free and at home in his association with fellow students. It is a noticeable fact that this policy has been carried out in all of our meetings this year no matter whether the crowd be large or small. Realizing that the spirit of its many organizations is the spirit of an institution, the Manus Verez Society has ever stood for and worked toward everything for the good of S. M. T. N. Up to the present time the Manus Verez Society has kept pace with the growth of the school as a whole, and it is our firm belief that, with the coming of the new build- ing, which in the 1917 legislature has so kindly given us, it will continue to grow and become a still more potent factor in the life and work of the Pittsburg Normal. In order to thrive well any organization must have a certain amount of good-natured rivalry; and in keeping with this each year the Manus Verez contest with the Portereans for supremacy in oratory, debate, dramatic art and declamation. This year the debate was won by the Manus Verez, their representatives being E. M. Banzet and W. M. Nellis. In the oratorical contest the Manus Verez contestant was awarded second place. The usual “good time” after the contest was held at the Varsity Store, and was in keeping with the Manus Verez spirit. The contest which our basketball team gave the other intra-mural leaguers speaks eloquently for the athletic ability of our society members. First Row—BURNS.

Its success was not only due to the increase in membership, but also to the greater interest taken in literary work by the students of the school. The majority of the Portereans are stu- dents of either or both the Public Speaking and Music Departments, and with the co-operation of the heads of these two departments for society work, excellent programs were assured at all times. During the past year the Portereans have added to the appearance of their society hall, the prize money won in contests with the Manus Verez Society being used for decorations. In the annual inter-society contest in oratory Miss Elsie Waddle, the Porterean contestant, was awarded first place. The “hard time party held shortly after the opening of school was attended by about two hundred students appropriately dressed for the occasion. This party was one of the events of the season and was a splendid beginning for the many activities of the Portereans during the year. First Row—ALLEN, KOONTZ, McGHIE, NATION, ST.

GRAHAM The Dramatic Art Club is composed of students of the Normal who are specializing in the work offered in the Department of Public Speaking and Expression. The mutual interests of those who are what is perhaps the highest art known to man, the art of the spoken word, make such an organization necessary for their unfoldment. Since its beginning three years ago, the Dramatic Art Club has been one of the leading organizations of S. M. T. N. The Dramatic Art Club holds an unique position in the social life of the school. While one of its purposes is to aid in every possible way activities of all kinds, particular stress is placed upon the cultural side of life. Formal banquets, receptions and parties are held at frequent inter- vals and the members thus learn from actual experience how to properly conduct themselves on all occasions. This knowledge will prove invaluable to those who acquire it while at college. The fellowship found among members of the club is real and genuine, and its value cannot be es- timated. Through the presentation of plays the students of the school are given an opportunity to enjoy the work of the organization. The plays staged by the club are carefully worked out in every, detail and not to be compared with the usual amateur theatrical. Two plays. “Under Cover” and “The Lion and the Mouse,” make up the list of productions for this year. In a school of this kind there is ample room for organizations of various kinds, each one filling its special niche. The Dramatic Art Club is doing its part to make college life more than worth while; not only for its members, but for those who come in contact with its many activities. With such a purpose behind it, the Dramatic Art Club looks forward to still more prosperous years. tTMV KAWZA First Row—MATHES, CAREY, FRITTER, OTWELL, HUDSON Second Row—JOHNSON, ALLISON, PIERCE, MURPHY, WYMAN Third Row—BRYANT, CAREY, LANE, MORRISON, REEVES Fourth Row—MOORE, BANZET, WADDLE, NELLIS, CAREY Fifth Row—WILKINS, PROF.

E. JOHNSON Sccrrlnry-Trewaurrr ----- CAUL COCKEIULL The “M” Club is an organization of students who have won a letter either in football, basketball, baseball or track. This organization came into existence last year, and it has been instrumental in creating more of a fellowship among the men who have struggled upon the athletic field and the basketball court to uphold the honor of their school. Through such an organization the “M” men who go out from school are kept track of and advised as to what is going on at S. M. T. N. An effort is also made to keep in touch with those who go without winning the coveted letter while here, in the hope that they will return another year to strive for an “M.” While the winning of a letter is the ambition of any college athlete and the “M” of this school has always been highly prized, such an or- ganization as the M” Club has been a stimulus to many a struggling athlete to redouble his efforts to meet the requirements prescribed for the awarding of a letter. The following wearers of the “M” have been initiated into the mysteries of the club: LEROY ANDREW CL AY COCK ERILI. CARL COCKER ILL JOHN LANCE EDWARD DUDLEY C. K. JOHNSON HOMER JOHNSON L. A.

Our Country ” While the State Manual Training Normal never has had a military organization of any kind, it has always been made up of students who were filled with patriotism and ready to respond to their country’s call should an occasion of danger arise. When that danger arose several of our boys left school and went to do their part in upholding the honor of the Stars and Stripes. Homer Johnson, one of last fall’s star gridiron warriors, enlisted in the naval hospital corps and left immediately for the Atlantic Coast. Henry Plagens, another football man, is serving his country in the War Department at Washington, D. C. R. A. York, a member of our basketball team, belongs to Company G, of the Kansas National Guard. Many others are contemplating joining some branch of the service at an early date, while every student is holding himself in readiness should the new selective draft measure make it his duty to go to the defense of the colors. In the meantime, military training has been started on the campus, and several hours each week are devoted to the acquiring of knowledge regarding military tactics. This preliminary training will be of great assistance to those who later go into training camps. The present plan is to endeavor to get an officer stationed at the Normal, so that every man in summer school will have an opportunity to begin preparing for any eventuality that may arise. The girls of the school are planning on the organization of a Red Cross unit, and when the American troops land in France, as they un- doubtedly will do should the war continue for any length of time, S. M. T. N. Red Cross nurses will be there to administer to the sick and wounded. No one knows what the future may bring forth, but the students of S. M. T. N. are ready and willing to do their “bit,” and only await the call to the colors in whatever capacity they may be of most service.

The Editor-In-Chief and Business Manager are elected each spring to serve the following year. These students, in turn, select their assistants from the student body. In this way the people who direct the publication during the year have the opportunity of choosing assistants who will co-operate with them to make the magazine a success. The old faculty advisory committee has been done away with. This makes the Manualite a paper of the students, by the students, ami for the students, and leaves the members of the staff free from any domination which might arise under faculty supervision.

PATTERSON, GREEN, PHILLIPS -K 'ZA ®hc iHauualitP l lierf is little comparison between the Slate Manual Training Normal of a few years ago aiul the school of today. Likewise, there is little comparison between the Manual Light (the original name of the student paper) of a few years ago and the neat and attractive Mnnualite of 1917. In days gone by, the Manual Light was published once in a while, with perhaps an Editor-in-Chief who also held a faculty position. For the past few years the Manualite has been published each month during the school year with dock-like regularity, by students who have the interests of the student body at heart, t’nder such management, the Manualite has enjoyed a gradual growth in size, circulation, and prestige, until it has become one of the best college publications in the country. This year has been a successful one for the Manualite. t’nder the supervision and direction of Editor-in-Chief (I. E. Patterson, familiarly known as “Pat, the poet,” the members of the staff spared no efforts to make the paper a success. Every issue was eagerly anticipated by the subscribers and read with alacrity. When the Manualite came out, the professors’ efforts to interest their classes were in vain until after every page in the book has been devoured, figuratively speaking, by the students. One of the attractive features of the publication was the cartoons. These were the work of A. W. Ziegclasch of San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Zicgelusch’s cartoons are superior to many found in metropolitan papers, and their use added much to the magazine. The “Speaking the Student Mind” department of the Manualite was an innovation and gave the rank-and-file of the student body an opportunity to express tbeir views on subjects of general interest. No business can be a complete success without sufficient funds. The Business Manager and his assistants have made the school paper successful financially. The circulation this year has been larger than ever before, more than 800 copies being distributed each month. Practically every student in school is a subscriber to the Manualite, and the mailing list includes the names of a large number of graduates and former students. Hats off to the members of the staff for the splendid paper they have given us during 1916-1917! 1A IIE Normal School is it thing; of comparative recency. However, since its origin it has grown by leaps and bounds until now it is one of the most fundamental ele- ments in our vast educational system. The masses have come to realize that teach- ers must he educated in the “art of teaching,” and as a result the Normal School has been compelled to branch out into the development of all phases of education. As this demand became more and more insistent, these phases developed into distinct and well defined departments that have their own specific line of work to accomplish. Realizing that these departments must be co-operative with one another for the building up of the student to an efficient teacher, it became evident that persons with not only teaching ability must be put in charge of them, but they must also manifest administrative qualities. The State Manual Training Normal has been fortunate in obtaining men and women with these combined qualifications as heads of the various departments. The ideals they hold before their students are clearly displayed in their write-ups, portraying in each case the aim of the department. T r? irpartatrttt of tEimratinn D. M. BOWEN. A. B. THE purpose of the Department f Education, as is the case in all Teachers' Training Schools, is to acquaint the student with that ever-increasing field of knowledge that is peculiar to the teaching profession—psychology in all its phases, problems of class management and school administration, the history of educational development, mod- ern methods of teaching, to develop the teaching spirit, stimulate interest in the larger prob- lems of education, and give the student specific practice in- the training school. The Kindergarten, the Elementary School, the Junior High School and the Normal High School, directed by five critic teuehers and aided by heads of college departments, give excellent opportunities for experimental teaching. Additional members will be added to the department the coming year and upon completion of the new building the capacity of the training school will be greatly increased. When this is accomplished, S. M. T. N. will have a Department of Education second to none in the country. Separtmrnt of publtr § pcakttuj ani fcxpn'sstmt RALPH EDSON GRAHAM. B. S. ami B. A. MULTITUDES have grown up with the idea that life is n chance to get as much fun as possible, and make themselves as carefree and comfortable as possible. They look upon a vocation as a disagreeable and unavoidable obligation to provide the necessities of the body, rather than as an opportunity for man-making and woman-making. In the light of this, educators have come to recognize that the mere storing of facts does not equip people for life. They are laying stress upon the ability to deliver these facts in a clear, understandable and effective manner. The ability to interpret the needs and project our information in such a way that it falls within the experience and is valuable to those whom we wish to serve, is becoming the important thing-in educa- tion. True, many are slow to part with the old theories and guesses of tIn past, but the students, in accordance with the true democratic spirit of the day, are beginning to demand that the worth of their own ideus he considered. They are demanding that education so adjust itself as to draw out the best that is in them rather than filling them with dead facts that the onward moving civilization is soon to outgrow. A public Speaking Department that bases itself upon teaching a student his own powers and how to use them in a common-sense manner is bound to come into its own in the field of education. Certainly no department of education has a more direct contact with the functioning power of education and the affairs of life than has a Public Speaking Department so organized. Scpartmrnt of iHaair WALTER McCRAY THE Department of Music is one of the thoroughly awake and growing departments of the institution. It has made rapid progress in the last three years, having grown from a faculty of two to a faculty of five. Besides the Supervisors’ Course and courses in Piano, Violin and Voice, the department supports two glee clubs, the Polymnia Club and the Orpheus Club. These two clubs make frequent tours, giving de- lightful concerts. A musical festival of a week’s duration is built around the two annual renditions of Handel’s “Messiah.” Festival Week gives the people of this section an opportunity to enjoy a musical treat and hear artists of national reputation. The aim of the department is to assist in the creation of greater interest in the art of music. In addition to the entertainments and recitals given by faculty members and students of this department, many splendid attractions are brought to Pittsburg each year. For the past two years, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra has been one of the features of Festival Week. Srpartmrnt nf pigairal £ rirnr?a J. A. YATES. B. S. anJ M. S. IN the Department of Physical Science emphasis is placed upon that which is practical, without losing sight of the fundamental principles involved. Therefore, in the de- velopment of each course offered the central idea is to have the student really master the subject presented to him, and to arouse and keep his interest therein to the high- est extent, by having him understand its relation to human activities and to his environ- ment. Our ideal is to help those who study in this department to learn to live more efficiently and help others to do so, to have a clear-cut, intelligent understanding of the work they are doing and will be called upon to do after leaving school. A glance at the various lines of labor-saving machinery and devices, ways of transpor- tation and communication, modern sanitary buildings, and uses men are making of the materials and forces of nature, will give some ideu of the scope of the work of the de- partment. In brief, find a line of human endeavor in which the physical sciences do not play an important part. The success of the department may be judged from the work of those who have majored therein. Bppartment nf ijistury auh hartal rinirra IN this department we are trying to meet the demand for such courses and methods of presentation as will make history, government and sociology a living, vital part of an up-to-date teacher’s equipment. The department has grown to keep pace with the growth of the institution. At present we arc employing three men, all of whom are over-taxed to keep up the work. We are stressing such subjects as American History, Civil Government, Industrial History, Economics and Sociology. This is a great and complex age in which we live, anil a liberal knowledge of the ubove subjects helps to constitute a liberal education. It is the aim of this department to make it one of the most efficient, up-to-date de- partments of its kind in the country. Our work has been fully recognized by our University and the North Central Association, of which our school is a member. Hrpartmrnt of 3Fomgtt Hatuutaijrs SAMUEL .J. PEASE. B. A. and M. A. DURING the past two years the Foreign Language Department has grown steadily and rapidly, the enrollment in the fall of 1915 being 102 and in the fall of 1916, I5L In response to insistent, demands, there was added in the summer of 19lti a course in Spanish, which has proved popular not only on the campus, but has been called for by five extension classes. At the same time the college German has doubled and the classes in French and Latin have increased somewhat. In Latin, a new course has been added, with the purpose of giving every student an opportunity to obtain a glimpse of the world- language of ancient times which has placed the modern world most deeply in its debt. 'Phis course has proved an eye-opener to those who have taken it. Professor Pease was horn in Cambridge, Mass., hut all his training and experience have been in the West. He received his B.

THE first aim of the English Department of the Normal School is to give to its stu- dents the highest form of culture; namely: a correct, refined use of the mother tongue; to impress upon them the great truth that to write and speak eorreetly the English language is not the work of a day, hut that it is an accomplishment to he gained only by close and patient study throughout the years; to inculcate the fact that habitual indulgence in the use of slang betrays a course anti boorish taste, as well as a lazy mentality; that the English of educated Englishmen and Americans is a standard from which young men and young women depart at their peril. The department aims to teach the pupil to employ his tongue and his pen in the service of his manhood; that the acquirement of good English brings its own reward in a justifiable self-respect; that failure to talk and write correctly brings much the same penalty as bad manners; to impress upon the public the necessity of accurate spelling; that inaccurate spelling indicates inaccurate thinking—in short, is the badge of the ignorant; that the general intelligence of a writer may be measured by his spelling. The final aim of the department is to inspire the pupil with the love of literature— the best literature; to induce him to read, re-read, anti to want to read, the masterpieces of literature, in the full knowledge that there arc the groves of eternal bloom, and that those who walk therein will gather upon their garments the perfumes of immortality. kanza Department nf fHrtbnimliutij HATTIE MOORE MITCHELL.

Over four hundred different students have been enrolled in this department this year. The methodology lunches permit the fellowship which the large classes preclude. One of the most attractive phases of the Methodology Department is the course of lectures given by members of the faculty who are ranked as specialists in their departments. Skpartmntt nf Hraumtg anil Spatgtt LYLE BROWER, B. S. A LITTLE school girl asked to give a definition of drawing answered, “Drawing is thinking and then making a mark around the think.’ “Design,” from the deriva- tion of the word, means to mark out for a purpose. Often the term “art” is used in connection with tins department. Webster defines “art”—“Skill or power acquired by experience, study or observation; the adaption of things in the natural world to the uses of human life; application of skill and taste I� � production according to artistic principles.” We live in a world where there is work to be done and each must do his “bit.” The structure that we build in our daily toil must be of service and it must be as beautiful as we can make it. In every human is a dream-world where his Ideals are born deeper than his every-day thought. We cannot create talent or genius, bid we can awaken the latent spark and teach how to do better work. The art instinct, if awakened, will lead the worker back towards perfection and to attain to a sphere of higher values. =— Drparburnt of Jubuatrud mth Appltfh Arts HARRISON C. GIVENS. B. S. of E. and M. E. PHOBAB1.Y in no other field of education is the significance of the change in educa- tional aims and ideals more apparent than in the field of practical arts education. The ever increasing demand which this school has for men who not only possess adequate preparation hut who have a vision of the service which they can render to the community, gives concrete evidence of this change, and shows the enviable position which we occupy among the Teachers’ Colleges of the country. The department recognizes that it must in its plan for the preparation of teachers offer courses which gave a broad understanding of the purpose of vocational and practical arts education as well as the ability to instruct iu the use of tools, if its graduates are to make the work of their school function in the world without. Shop courses which offer an opportunity for extensive training are maintained as well as those for the purpose of studying the underlying principles and processes from the teaching, as well as the manipulative point of view. In the former courses the factory system and plan for shop work is carried out. All work of students in the shop is applied toward the production of articles for tlu market. In the field of applied arts in addition to courses specifically planned for public school teachers, extensive courses are offered in the several lines of handicraft. Irpartmrut nf Hatlfcmattra J. A. G. SHIRK. A. M. anJ M. S. Till ’ Department of Mathematics offers courses in pure mathematics, applied mathe- matics, and astronomy. The courses in pure mathematics are designed to prepare the teacher of mathematics, and also to serve as a foundation for the applied courses. The aim of the department is to function its work wherever possible in the industrial and commercial life of the State of Kansas. In accordance with this ideal, there have been developed many industrial courses which correlate very closely with the work of the In- dustrial Arts Department, and also provide a thorough training in the practical solution of problems encountered in the industrial and agricultural vocations. For the successful pur- suit of these courses, it is essential that the student be thoroughly in sympathy with the spirit of the artisan, seeking to find out the best possible methods of accomplishing the solution of those seemingly intricate problems connected with every vocation, and yet which only seem difficult because of the very common deficiency in mathematical training. The department also believes that this close mingling of the theoretical and the prac- tical is the. ideal training for the teacher of mathematics, and is furthermore an excellent basis for further advanced mathematical study in graduate institutions, because tin utility of the subject and its great service to humanity will have been revealed at the same time that skill was being acquired in rigorous processes and logical demonstrations. Separtmeni of (fommrrrr E. F. SHOLTZ THE Department of Commerce of S. M. 'i'. N. was planned to meet two urgent needs. First, to assist in raising the standard of commercial teachers; to meet this demand we offer two years’ college training in commerce leading to a life diploma. Second, the demand for more practical education and the constant call from the business world for more and better trained young people for business; to meet this de- mand we offer two years of business training. Every student should include some business training in his college course. The mind cannot attain its full power under a system which focuses attention solely on theoretical investigations with no opportunity for the practical or concrete service. Life is many sided, and he who is fitted only for one, finds his preparation very incomplete. This is an age of Big Business and so we are prepared to find that an almost incalculable number of men now occupying prominent and responsible positions, attribute much of their success to their business training.

An attempt is made by the department to give the student an appreciation of the richness of the content of geography, that the service may he greater, the outlook broader, and the capacity for en- joyment increased; also to show him how the physical forms of the earth have been brought about by law and rule and how, according to these physical forms and to the law of climate changes are brought about in forms, colors, ways of living, customs and religion, and as a consequence of this, mankind, despite all differences, is everywhere hut a race of brothers, created by One, striving and struggling after one goal of happiness hut in various ways, each and all inter-dependent one upon the other. Hejmrtmrnt of JUjptral tEhuratimt JOHN W. FUHRER. B. S. THE aims and purposes of physical education do not differ radically from those of education in general. The following aims were set forth at a recent conference in physical education: 1. “Skill, strength and endurance as ends in training in citizenship.” 2. “Deliberation, reflection, determination, perseverance and self-control as ends in physical training.” 3. “The development of morality through physical education.” i. “The purpose of athletics is for the development of the individual in physique, skill, self-confidence and efficiency.” This department is constantly striving to reach, in every way possible, the aims set forth above.

She gave in her daily lessons, All the love of the elderly As of the youthful mother; Of the spirit and ideals of the newer thought, She gave us. We look back upon our years. While in the school home, With sweetest memories of her care. We seek her now for advice and light Upon our heavier problems. Our Alma Mater, though of tender years, Is still our Alma Mater. We hear our Legislators speak Of her youth; Our President tells of her Adolescent years; Toasters insist she is but a child; Still, she is our Alma Mater, The mother of the educational years Of each Alumnus. We cannot think of youth As the predominant in our school home; Rather to us she was a pioneer, Not possessing all the luxuries Of the modern city dweller; But choosing the open, the new, the free Of educational life; That her children might be equipped With an ideal rather than a name, With spirit rather than diamonds, With ambition to do and dare And brave adversities, To carry the banner of the practical As well as the beautiful. As the pioneer braves heat and toil Of early years, But overcomes and is able to add the easier chair, So, our Alma Mater, Ne'er losing sight of those greater things, Is adding, in Carney Hall. Not a richer ambition, nor greater ideal Than had S. M. T. N. of our time; But this, the necessary extra room In which to house the growing family, And lesson in some degree, The crudeness of the toil Of the pioneer.

N. and at S. M. T. N. Edited by S. M. T. N. Faculty and Alumni. First issue, March, 1917.—Monthly. PURPOSE To set forth the distinctive work of S. M. T. N. To publish papers that will be of interest to its readers. To assist teachers to keep in touch with the development of our subjects. To foster a spirit of loyalty that will effect united action among Alumni and former students in promoting the best interests of the insti- tution. To publish news of our people in the field. Techne is a Greek word, chosen for the name of this publication be- cause it adequately expresses the ideals of S. M. T. N. In the original it meant “art, skill, manner of accomplishing an object.” It concerned every field of human endeavor in which skill could be gained, from literature, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, rhetoric, music, to the at that time humbler arts of poetry, painting, architecture and sculpture. Techne involves at least three stages of progress. It involves first a purpose, a goal or aim to be attained. Second, it involves effort so plan- ned as to yield by practice the object sought. Third, it implies attainment of skill as a result of this powerful effort. Purpose, plan, continued effort are all necessary to yield that mastery which is the keynote to efficient endeavor in any field. The goddess of Techne was Athena. With her owl and serpent, indicat- ing her wisdom, with her aegis, helm and lance for offense and defense, she was the Athenian patron-goddess not only of war, but also of the arts —both those arts befitting men of action and leisure, and also the house- wifely arts of weaving and sewing, cooking and supervising the house- hold. The nearer our good old Normal comes to realizing in the lives of Kansas people the full significance of Techne, the more completely will she have fulfilled her mission. KAMZA -UGKE3- th ese.

However, proceeding on the theory that a fellow has a job us long as his pay goes on whether he does anything or not, the students who were caught in the retrench- ment program are not student assistants even if they are still doing the work. A man may have to wait for heaven to attain real bliss, hut did you ever have a boy of yours make an end run?

Freside: “That professor has such an academic look.” Smart Soph: “That’s due to the pupil in his eye.” It’s such a bore to keep a secret. Let someone else do it for you. Hard Luck. Prock: “How’s the world treating you?” Windy: Not very often.” Just Between Girls. Maude C.: “No, I would never marry a man toj reform him.” Peggy M.: “Well, I don’t think myself, that harsh measures are the best.” Hudson: “Are you trying to make a fool out of me?” Cleo: “No, I never interfere with nature.” Reppert: “Say, I am some salesman for the Manualite.” Shumaker: Why, did you get any orders ?” Reppert: “Yes, two; get out and stay out.” Put: “Say, I am a millionaire.” Tompkins: “Mostly air.” John I.ance: Did you know that I am a hero; I saved a girl.” Anna K.: No! Why?” John: “Had two girls for tonight and saved one for tomorrow night.” Just Wait. All the newly married faculty men seem to be looking fine and happy, but just wait until they begin to have stomach trouble and dyspepsia; then you will notice the difference. Prock: When I get a nickel changed, I can’t imagine where the change goes.” A Woman’s Reason. Mr. A.: But, my dear, why did you re- fuse to dine with the Logan’s and accept this invitation to the Bowen’s?” Mrs. A.: It’s perfectly simple. Mrs. Logan has seen this gown before and Mrs. Bowen hasn’t.” Coach; Courtright: “Are you sure your wife knows I’m going home to dinner with you?” Logan: “Knows! Well rather!

And finally broke his hill. Card of Thanks. The Commercial Class tenders a vote of thanks to the D. S. girls for the fumes from boiled cabbage and the fried onions. Why is Auntie Blushing?

One of the questions in an examination on the subject of stock raising was: “Name four different kinds of sheep.” Lorene Summers gave this for an answer: “Black sheep, white sheep, Mary’s little lamb and the hydraulic ram.” The football team was in Winfield. Brian stood looking at a building two blocks away at the top of which were the letters I. (). (). F. Brian turned to Pat with, “Say we go down and see what’s in that “loof” building.” Why Edgar Flunked. “What was the principal result of the flood?” asked Prof. Trout. Edgar Smith- ers pondered the question gravely. “I guess,” he said slowly, “the principal result was mud.” Prof. Scheib (in agriculture): If you hud two windmills on your farm and found you did not have wind enough to run them, what would you do?” Carrie Cook: “Take one down.” Hudson (stalling): “Prof. Graham bet me a dollar I didn’t dare to speak to you. You don’t mind, do you?” Charlene: “Not at all. Hun along now and get your dollar.” Physical Director Fuhrer: “One night I heard a burglar. You should have seen me going down stairs three steps at a time.” President Brandenburg (who knows him) “Where was he?” “Fuhrer: “On the roof.” Taylor: “How old is that lamp?” Anna K.: “About a year.” Taylor: “Well, blow it out.

Oh, dear!” “What’s the matter?” “Andy lost his voice on the wireless tel- ephone and we don't know where to look for it.” Sm it hers’ name was posted on the board in Russ Hall for a meeting of the “Y” men. Katherine Miers was looking longingly out of the window at chapel: Hudson: “What is the matter, Kather- ine?” Katherine: “I was just thinking.” Hudson: “What about?” Katherine: “Oh! Russ Hall.” Pierce (teaching in Prof. Bowen’s class ): “I believe we were to begin with State and Local Problems. What are these problems?” Morrison: “State and Local Problems.” Prof. Grubbs (to Industrial Hisotry class') “Why do you think Grant accepted so mnnv costly presents from people who could not well afford to give them?” Miss Chatham: “I can’t imagine why la would have nerve enough to do such a thing.” Prof. Grubbs: “He must have been simp- ly awful or awful simple.” -x- Virginia: “And won’t you drop into tea?” Johnson: “Oh, no; it’s too warm.” Seizing the Opportunity. “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today,” quoted Mrs. Simpson. “That’s right.’ ’agreed “Wep” cheerfully; “I guess I’ll finish up the other part of the cherry pie right away.” Not a Practical Peoole. “You know.” said Miss McCoy, “the Romans had a strong sense of the beau- tiful.” “Yes,” agreed Grubbs, “but then they wasn’t very practical. Them Roman candles is very prettv to look at, but it’s tarnation hard to read by ’em.” Dr. I)., (assigning the bacteriology les- son): Tomorrow we will take the first 1500 pages of the dictionary, and Friday you may read the Bible. While no one saw the animal that broke the window out of Prof. Wilkin’s room, the students give the beast a wide berth while picking berries in the pasture if dressed in the school colors of crimson and gold. Morrison: “You have a sign in your window, ‘A suit of clothes made while you wait. Do vou really do that?” Tailor: “Yes, sir; you leave your order with a deposit and then go home and wait until the garments are finished.” Look for the world to come to an end when— Avis Allison arrives on time for a first- hour class.

MILLER, Cashier To the Manual Training Students: Your pari of the school is becoming very important, and, we, as manufacturers employing men and apprentices in an honorable and well paid trade, say to you that we firmly believe your manual train- ing work will prove equally valuable with your other school work. We hope to see the day when the graduate of a high school like yours will not feel that he is lowering himself to take up a trade, instead of go- ing to join the overcrowded professions, ’ so-called. Therefore, we wish to encourage the wood working part of the manual training work, and to the end that it may be operated eco- nomically, use the short lengths of clear stock which accumulate in the Factory Behind The Goods” the largest special-wood-work factor}' in the state. These scraps and short lengths are very suitable for manual training purposes and can be obtained at much lower prices than regular lumber. Also a very complete line of all cabinet woods can be supplied from the largest stock of hardwood in the state. Tor a Heal Saving.

BANT A Consistent JEWELER Service 421 North Broadway Prices By the Business Manager TO THE STUDENTS: The Business Manager of THE KANZA wishes to thank you for the loyal support you have given the Annual this year. Not only have you contributed your bit of money, but many of you have cheerfully assisted us in many ways. By your co-operation we have secured the confidence and the backing of leading business men through the medium of our ad- vertising columns. No advertisements would mean no Kanza, and no results would mean no advertisements. Your trade means much to the advertiser. He replaces his ad in THE KANZA as a proof of it. and so it means much to us. By your cooperation you have shown that KANZA ads pay and we earnestly wish to thank you. TO THE BUSINESS MAN: The Business Manager wishes to voice a hearty “thank you” to you who have used THE KANZA as an advertising medium. You have shown us that you believe in S. M. T. N. We realize you have used THE KANZA when you might have used some other advertising medium. There may be some of you whose ads have not paid you directly in actual dollars, yet you have won the good will of a large number of really appreciative people and to you we are especially grateful. Because we know you believe in us and stand behind us we assure you of our loyalty. We are your best boosters. Loyalty to S. M. T. N. and her annual, means loyalty to Kanza advertisers.
