N. Adverse conditions have rendered the task un- usually difficult this year; neverthless, it is the product of much untiring effort and continu- ous thought. We realize (he high standard heretofore maintained by former staffs, and if in your judg- ment that standard has not been lowered, our ef- forts will not have been in vain. May it recall, in years to come, amusing incidents, familiar faces, and pleasant friendships, which will make the days at our dear old Alma Mater forever (he most cherished. “Tor us nelv paths must open; new duties fill our days, !But memory Ivill make sweeter the hours that here we 've known. nu u ItiiPWt DOMESTIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES. KI SS HALL. RUSS HALL ENTRANCE. INDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDING. WOOD TVRXIXG. IXDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDIXG. CARNEY HALL. The legislature of 1917 made an appropriation of $200,000 with which to erect a household economics and general science building with an audi- torium annex. This building is to be known as Carney Hall, named in honor of Governor Carney, who served as governor of Kansas during the Civil War period. The plans for the new building were completed by Hon. Chas. H. Chandler, state architect. The contract for the erection of the same was let to Mr. J. M. Leeper on the nineteenth day of December, 1917, to be completed on the first day of January, 1919. This building is now nearing completion, and when finished, will without question be one of the most beautiful and complete science halls and auditoriums in the state of Kansas. The main part of the building is two hundred and forty-seven by eighty-six feet, the auditorium annex being one hundred and twenty- one feet and ten inches by ninety-six feet and ten inches, with a seating capacity of 2,400. This beautiful structure will be completed and occupied June the first, 1919; in it will be housed most comfortably and advantageously the fol- lowing departments: Home Economics, Biological, Agricultural, Chem- ical and Physical Sciences. All the laboratories are spacious, well lighted, well ventilated, and will be adequately furnished with new’ and modern equipment. All laboratory and lecture hall floors are of cork, thus reducing to the minimum, the noise which usually results from walking about, or the moving of chairs. This also insures ease and comfort to those standing for long periods in ex peri men till work. The lecture rooms are especially commodious, and conveniently located in relation to the laboratories. Ample offices, rest rooms and reception rocms for the convenience of all departments will be provided. The large auditorium with its soft sky-blue effect, is one of the features of the new' building. The installation in this building of eight hundred single deck lockers to be used by the students for books amr wraps, is a much needed convenience and will be greatly appreciated by ail. Th same Legislature made an appropriation of $1,500 each biennium for the beginning of a new recreation and athletic field. During the year 1917. Hare Hare of Kansas City, landscape architects, were employed by the Board of Administration to submit a perspective of the grounds, and suggest a permanent building plan for the institution. Their plan was submitted and finally adopted in the summer of 1917, and when followed out during the course of the next ten years, will make the campus and building arrangement of the State Manual Training Normal College one of the most beautiful and unique among educational plants. The New Athletic Field The new Athletic Field is in process of making. It is in shape at the present to be used for football and track. Work was started in this field in the fall of 1917, when a concrete curb, which marks the pole of the quarter mile track, was put in place. The following spring the field and track was partially graded for the use of spring training in track. During the summer of 1918, the grading for the track and field was completed and additional curbs put in place to outline the outside of the track. Five hundred loads of finely screened cinders have been placed on the track and rolled in order to pack them smoothly and firmly. The track is in splendid shape for the track season of 1919, but with the additional work to be put on the cinder path in the future, we expect to have one of the best and fastest tracks in the country. During the present summer, there will be available the additional appropriation for the tiling of the field and track, building a bleacher and fencing the field. With these additional improvements, our facilities for athletics will be nearing that ideal for which every man who has ever represented us has longed to see in his own day. It is hoped that Joplin Avenue will soon be paved. When this is done there will be a splendid place in front of the field for the approach of automobiles. Cars can then be driven to the east side of the field where spectators can watch the games from their own machines. n LINCOLN PARK ENTRANCE. SnuitiSfHBi A STREAM NEAR PITTSBl'RG. CHURCHES.

Since the write-up in the last Kanza. our Department has had a wide war experience. Professor James V. Hanberv entered the Officers Training Camp at the very beginning of the war and won it First Lieutenant's commission in the regular army and rendered services on the battlefields of France in the battle of Chateau-Thicrry, in which he was severely wounded and, in fact, has not fully re- covered from those wounds as yet and is still a member of the army, located at Camp Meade. Professor Geddes V. Rutherford, who came to take his place during his leave of absence, was likewise called into the service of his country where he served until a few weeks ago. The head of the Department has contributed what he might in war campaigns and in other lines of war activities, up to his ability, as has Professor Grubbs of this Department. Owing to the continued absence of Professor Hanberv, Miss Anne Caseley, a woman of special ability and experience as a History teacher, has been secured to take his place. Professor Rutherford began his work anew with us the beginning of the past semester. The demands for History, Economics, and Sociology is even greater now than ever before and we expect to have an additional instructor to help carry the burdens of this Department, at the opening of the next school year. It has always been our aim to make the work of the Department as prac- tical and useful to the teachers as possible and we shall continue to exercise our- selves in the extreme to meet the demands made upon us in this Department. i mMmm Department of Education. I). M. BOWEN, B. A. The Department of Education has for its function the professional training of teachers. The successful teacher of today, must have some information con- cerning the historical development of her profession, must know something of the laws of mind development and their scientific application to the everyday prob- lems of the school room. In addition to this minimum training, the prospective teacher should have actual experience in training school, the laboratory of the Department of Education. The Department of Education of the State Manual Training School is well equipped to render this service; a strong department of Psychology; a well developing system of rural teacher training, and an effective corps of teachers in the training school. The completion of the new building will make it possible to organize a more effective Junior High School Department, and will have excellent facilities for teacher training from the Kindergarten to the Junior High School inclusive. This Department directs the work in the subjects of chemistry, geology, physics, including electrical science, and general science, together with the applied courses in these subjects. One of the greatest lessons taught educators by the world war. is the necessity of making the subjects taught, practical. This Department has greatly expanded its applied courses in the past two years. We now offer in addition to all the work that is needed in the prepara- tion of teachers for these subjects, the larger part of two years of collegiate work in industrial electrical engineering and industrial mining engineering, together with vocational courses for electricians, miners, and telegraphers. These voca- tional and engineering courses are given for men who have no idea of teaching but who expect to use their skill in other world activities.. The Department most earnestly believes that students preparing to be teachers, who take these industrial engineering courses or who study under the influence of these applied courses, will carry Into the schools of our State, practical instruction. The Department has already sent out a number of students as chemists and electricians, in addition to those who are representing It as teachers. We believe that efficient teachers of its subjects should be able to make good in the individual field. The Department is steadily growing and deeply yearns to be of the most service to workers and teachers in the fields it represents. Department of Mathematics and Applied Mechanics .1. A. ;. SHIRK. .M. s. The scope of this Department has been extended to include considerable work of an industrial character in civil and mechanical engineering. Two year courses in Industrial Civil Engineering and Industrial .Mechanical Engineering were organized in the spring of lit 18 and put into operation at the opening of the fall term. The major work in these courses is being developed by the instructors of this department. These courses are well suited for the training of the young men who expect to follow some technical occupation or who are qualifying themselves to meet the demand for teaching more practical subjects in our city school systems. Any young man who finishes the four year collegiate course of this institution and at the same time by a proper choosing of his elective subjects completes one of the two year Industrial Engineering courses will find that his preparation is just what is needed for a practical teacher of mathematics or science in any technical high school. This engineering work is being done in addition to all the regular courses previously given for teachers of Mathematics and for teachers of Industrial Arts. Commerce, Home Economics and the Elementary Grades. There will be no decrease in the activity of the department in the field of teacher training, but rather a more vigorous attempt to keep to the front in all movements for enlarging and rendering more effective the public schools of our nation. mrnw m I The Department of Hiologv during the past year has felt the stress of the demand of other interests on the young men in the country. Three members of the Department were away in other activities: two in the United States Army and one in overseas work for the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Donaghy left over a year ago to enter the medical service and Mr. Sigler entered the medical service last August. Mr. Ringle volunteered for oversea service for the Y. M. C. A. last July. The young men who were majoring in the department, were largely taken into service, a great many of them going into the medical corps. The department has maintained its extension classes and residence classes under great difficulties, but everything looks bright for the next year. The department will go into its new apartments June 10, with very complete compartments for all phases of the work. ERMINE OWEN, A. M. It is the dictum of Sir Francis Bacon—a master of English—that Reading (Literature) maketh a full man, and Writing (Composition), an exact man. What higher tribute to the work and opportunity of a well organized English Department than this? What loftier praise for a well furnished brain and the ready pen? Those that would acquire the power and influence here epitomized know that the study of English is the means to the coveted end. With those who would walk hand in hand with the wise and the great of the past; who would breathe the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge; who, though children of the inland, would sail distant seas and land in strange ports—the English Department is the most popular. Department of Methodology. .MRS. 11 ATT IK .MOORK-AIITCIIKLU A .M. Three questions confront the teacher of today. What to teach? Why teach it? How teach it? The province of the Department of Methodology lies in the response to the question How to teach it?” The day has come when not only academic preparation, but also efficiency in the art of instruction are considered vital elements in the qualifications of a teacher. Courses are maintained throughout the year which permit teachers looking toward a primary, grade, or normal training position to come in touch with actual conditions as they exist today in our public school system. With the prospect of more convenient quarters and more complete equipment when the congested conditions are relieved by the opening of Carney Hall, we are happy in the prospect that the coming year will find us ready to answer the “Calls to the Highlands of the profession in consistent, sane, practical preparation for a fuller measure of service in the school room of tomorrow for the men and women of tomorrow's tomorrow. mmnm Department of Industrial Arts A. H. WHITES ITT, It. S. Perhaps no phase of education save physical will be so greatly modified by the lessons of war as that of Industrial. It shall be our endeavor to bring to our students those new ideals and standards and to implant them so firmly that the friends of Industrial Education may point with just pride to the work of our graduates. «0- A DELA ZOE WOLCOTT. Ph. It.. A. M. Home Economics as a subject of practical worth and usefulness as well as of broad cultural value has proved its place in the educational world of today. During the great food crisis ot our country. Home Economics teachers have been given prominent and trustworthy positions in advisory and executive capacities, and departments the country over have taken their places in the teaching of food values, conservation, economy. Red Cross work, and in the actual performance of such service as canteen work, the feeding and care of influenza patients and the feeding of Student Army Training Corps. Our own department aims to prepare well trained teachers of Home Economics, but it does not stop here. Our work offers opportunities in other lines and in order to meet the ever increasing demand in one field, coiirss in cafeteria and institution management have been organized. Students receive their practice in this work in the school of cafeteria. Another new feature of the department is a one-year course in home making. No college girl should consider her education complete unless she has taken work in this department which fits her for the varied and responsible duties of home making. The new building of Household Arts and Science will add greatly to the efficiency of the department. Department of Geography. EULALIA E. ROSE KERRY. It. S. It is the aim of the Department of Geography of S. M. T. N. to grasp its share of the opportunities and to shoulder its share of the responsibilities of the problems of educational, commercial and social reconstruction at this critical period in world history. Failure to understand and appreciate the customs, the characteristics, and the ideals of other peoples has led to a narrowness of vision which has confined our view to our own boundary lines and has led to our inability to think internationally. The Department is attempting to present the subject of Geography in such a manner that the student may acquire the breadth of vision and the essential knowledge to understand and explain the geographic basis of all human activities and international relations. The idea of brotherhood of man with differences made only by environs gives the sympa- thetic attitude toward ail mankind. The Department is being expanded and strengthened to meet the added responsibilities. Department of Physical Education •I. W. FIMIRKit. It. S. Organized Physical Education for the individual should begin at seven years. The subject of the work at that age should be neuromuscular education. Educa- tional Gymnastics, definitely graded, are the best for this period. At twelve years, the period for the development of strength and endurance begins. Organized games should have a strong place in the program. Formal gymnastics to fix postural habit should receive some attention. When this period closes at eighteen, the individual should have greatly increased his vitality as a foundation on which to base his future physical and mental activity. At this period of physical life, the problem of further increasing bodily power and the problem of keeping physically fit” enter. From eighteen to twenty-five the athlete comes into his own. Following this, sedentary life often wears away the good results attained from the former years of physical activity. The individual should carry on” now. if he wishes to retain health. The heart, lungs and digestive apparatus suffer from exercise starvation. The problem of keeping in good health comes prominently to every individual past thirty years of age. Exercise is one of the solutions. ms- Department of Geography. EULALIA 10. ROSEBBIUIY, It. S. It is the aim of the Department of Geography of S. M. T.

Great languages, exquisitely beautiful languages, their words and phrases condensing milleniums of human history. It was with remarkable aptness that the British destroyer Verdun,’ on its recent tour of the German naval bases, had painted on its bridge the immortal words, Ms ne passeront pas.” Great literatures greet you—Virgil and Horace and Cicero and Caesar, Moliere and Rostand and Victor Hugo. Cervantes and Masco Ibanez, with all their attendant company, greet you. The literatures are the world's greatest thoughts in their most finished form, and the English-speaking world is but a portion of the world that thinks, speaks, writes. The peoples of the great continents greet you,—that Europe where French is the international language, that Latin-America that is rapidly overhauling English-speaking America in numbers as well as in industry. Culture? The culture of true courtesy adequately expressed. The ages greet you. The foundations of our words, ideas, philosophies, sciences, ideals have come to us step by step through the medium of the great languages. Let t:s get acquainted. LYLE i. BROWER. B. S. The world has just passed through a tremendous upheaval and is even now experiencing a readjustment of its social and economic forces. Civilized life is in solution and it will be a long time yet before the fusing elements will have crystalized in definite form so we can reorganize our ways of living. What can the Department of Drawing and Design do to help during these times? Drawing and Design are handmaids of Art and their duty is to serve. But how? If Art is. as our great writers have told us, a complete and harmonious interpretation and expression of some phase of man’s life in relation to the whole life, any part of industry may be regarded as an art. and anyone may be an artist. A few men have been endowed with great talent—Shakespeare in literature; Aeschylus in poetry: Beethoven in music; and Michael Angelo in sculpture and painting—but they have served to broaden the definitions of humanity. Everyone, whoever he may be. will have some work to do; if he does that work earnestly and faithfully, doing each day a little better than before, he will bring the true spirit of Art into his life. We are democratizing our civilization.—our politics, our education and we must democratize our art; not art for art’s sake, but art in forms of living—art in production. ’’Art is any form of man’s life work. then we must develop creative ability, ingenuity in planning, and above all individuality of expression, so each worker may reach higher standards of living, and his standards shall be simplicity, wholesomeness and refinement. How to do it? Each must learn to concentrate his mental powers; apply them to some useful work, mental or physical, or both; as something worth while—and do it well. “The secret of success in art is sympathy and a conscience so exacting that it will not permit you to stop short of your highest abilities. Make each thing that you do one of the important things in your life, let it grow and you will grow with it. Department of Public Speaking and Expression MRS. BURN A M. STRONG, li. A. (Instructor) It is the aim of this department to meet the demands of a school for training teachers; first, on the part of the teacher, the cultivation of a pleasing voice, clear, distinct utterance and the acquisition of the ability to express thoughts effectively before an audience; second, to inspire teachers with the desire to improve the speech of their pupils along with a knowledge of how this may be accomplished. Through work on debating teams, the staging of plays in the Dramatic Art Club and in public, the helpful suggestions given in class and the planning of programs, and the appearing in programs by members of the department; the teacher is made of more value to her school whether her work is in a Kindergarten or a University. Above all other considerations, oral expression is dealt with as a practical art which enables the man or woman to deal with any situation, either in school or after graduation, in a sane, wholesome and effective manner. m m ihi i i� mm inmin ini i� hiiimibwib iihiiiiuw w—i—hibm— mnwmT—m The Music Department is each year adding to its equipment and faculty. Anthony Stankowitch of New York has been engaged as the head of our Piano Department. Mr. Stankowitch is not only one of America’s leading pianists, but is one of the recognized teachers in this country. Mr. Stankowitch was for five years professor of piano of Northwestern University, Chicago and has been identified with Conservatories in Philadelphia. Chicago and New York. Margaret Leavitt is an accompanist and teacher of wide experience. She has been connected with this institution for four years. Rhetta Hesselberg is a violinist and teacher of national reputation. Elizabeth Gilbert of Chicago, head of our Voice Department, was formerly voice teacher at the Lawrence Conservatory. Appleton. Wisconsin. Miss Gilbert is having wonderful success as a teacher. Ina Marion McKnight Schide, teacher of Music and Harmony, has for a number of years been among the successful supervisors of music. Walter McCray, head of the Music Department and teacher of Harmony Counterpoint, and conductor of festival choruses, has been connected with the State Manual Training Normal a little over four years. During this time the Music Department has brought real musical interest to Southeastern Kansas. The festival week has become a fixed annual event of the State Manual Training Normal school. Commerce Department K. F. SC HOLTZ. Business training is our specialty: Both of teachers, of business subjects, and office people. A great many commercial teachers in the high schools over the state have received their training in this Institution. Those completing our Office Course are able to hold difficult clerical positions, with ease. Those contemplating taking a business training, should investigate our course before making a decision. The business future of America is very bright. We have many things that the world must have and it will take all of our man power and all of our woman power to supply these wants. The period of reconstruction will necessarily be a difficult one. Thousands of Americans have made sacrifices during war times, others have their sacrifices still to make, but the trained stenographer need have no fear of being without profitable work. The stenographer, typist and general clerical worker with inadequate training may have some difficulties—the solution, of course, is to get the training as soon as possible. 1« m r u di : b iu;kk, s. i , I )r:i i ini vi I I } • s. i i r i C. o.

The activities of this organization are a force distinctive of their kind and make themselves felt in the entire student body. At the outbreak of the war, however, many of the students went to the front and the Activities of this body were reduced to a minimum. With the signing of the armistice and the return of the men from the service at home and overseas, the sentiment was plainly apparent that the organization should be revived. An army Y. M. C. A. secretary was maintained in connection with the S. A. T. C. unit established at this place. With the demobilization of the S. A. T. C.. the activities of the army Y. M. C. A. were transferred to the student organization and the army secretary, Mr. William H. Sellheim. by appointment of the National War Work Council, became the executive secretary of the duly revised organization. This organization adopted the post war work program of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A.; literature being furnished by them for classroom work and general distribution. Bible discussion groups meet every week at which the big questions that are now arising, and will arise for many years, are being studied in the ilght of the New Testament ideals. The Forum discussions main- tained by the organization have also found a place in the student life. Great interest is maintained in the conferences held from time to time in connection with the work. Finis M. Green was chosen to accompany the secretary to the Setting Up conference at Topeka, held December 15 and 1(5. Kenneth Spencer and John Taylor attended the Older Boys’ Conference at Salina. George Wells and the secretary represented the organization at the general conference held at Topeka April 4. 5, and 6. At this conference, the plans of the National War Work Council to bring the school associations up to the high standards maintained before the war, were discussed. A reception was given by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. at the opening of the second semester, to welcome all students and to encourage them to attend the meetings held each Tuesday morning at chapel time. A “Stunt Nile’’ was held Wednesday night, February 19. 1919. All who attended enjoyed this evening of fun, frolic and good fellowship. Valley vs. Valley On the left there is a valley Of death and despair. Where every thing is dark And there's gloom everywhere; There isn’t any sunshine. Any birds or any flowers, And the seconds are all minutes And the minutes are all hours; There the wind is full of moans, Full of groans and full of cries, And the rain is but the tears From each soul’s burning eyes. The path is rough and thorny, Though many souls tread there ♦ For this is the valley of lost hopes And I warn you, so beware! On the right there is a valley Full of hope, and love and cheer, Where there’s sunshine and there’s flowers, And birds throughout the year; And the seconds and the minutes fly And also do the hours. And the wind whispers caressingly To the little birds and flowers. Here everyone is happy, For their lives are full of hope— Which drives away the darkness In which so many grope. The path is smooth and grassy Although many souls tread here For this is the valley of hope, which means Love, happiness and cheer. And when you’re journeying through life And at these cross roads meet. And you know not on which pathway To wend your weary feet. And something draws you to the left It seems the easier way; You’re footsore and you’re weary From the trials of the day And things all seem against you And you haven’t any pluck. Just follow my directions And trust the rest to luck; For if you wish to make your cares. Your trials and burdens, light— Remember what 1 say to you And turn unto your right. —Gwen Williams.

Owing to these facts, we have not been able to accomplish as much as in other years. The Dramatic Art Club was reorganized in November, 1918 under the direction of Duma .McCulloch Strong. It has an entire new membership, com- posed mostly of those who are interested in the courses offered by the Department of Public Speaking and Expression. The purpose of the Club is to aid in every way activities of all kinds. Par- ticular stress is placed upon the practical experience of appearing before the public. The Club meets the first Wednesday evening in each month at 7:30 o’clock. The time is devoted to the study of plays, business meetings, and getting acquainted with the stage and stage folk. On January 8, 1919 an informal “spread’’ was enjoyed by all the members of the Club. The fellowship among the members is splendid, its value is inestimable. Through the presentation of plays, the student body of the school is given an opportunity to enjoy the work of the organization. Two plays. A Colonial Dream,” and “.Mice and .Men,” satisfactorily presented to large and appreciative audiences, constitute this year’s work. A large number of the members of the Club will return to S. M. T. N. next year, and this, in addition to the increased interest manifested in the Public Speaking and Expression Department, looks forward to successful and prosperous years for the Dramatic Art Club.

WELIvS - -- -- -- -- - President WILMA SCOTT - -- -- -- -- Secretary M EH KILL BKANDKNIUIU; - - - - Treasurer Debate and Oratory When the Student Activity Ticket system of financing all the student enter- prises was adopted, the permanency of Debate and Oratory was assured for both the men and the women of the institution. So great was the part played by these two activities in our school life before the great world catastrophe called out the best of the manhood and womanhood, that it became necessary to place the direction and management of this work in the hands of a special committee, known as The Council of Debate and Oratory, which is made up of three members of the faculty and three members of the student body. Probably no phase of the student activities has suffered more in the last two years from the struggle going on “over there than has that of Debate and Oratory. This has been due to the fact that the best and most loyal of our students have gone forth to bear their share of the responsibility of making this a better world in which to live. Too. none were better fitted for selecting the wheat from the chaff” in the great conflict which has just ended than those who were trained in Debate and Oratory—whether in this or some other institution— and in few other activities do we find a better place for developing a love of country than is afforded in this line of student endeavor. Although interest in Debate and Oratory has lapsed during the last two years, it has not died—as is evidenced by the fact that its organization still remains, and by the fact that we have a tringular debating contest for our girls with Southwestern College, and Manhattan to he held in the latter part of April. The annual contest for the boys with the Hays Normal School was dropped during the war, but we expect to resume it again next year. Also, we have not taken part in the Inter-State Oratorical Contest the past two years, though we still maintain our membership in the League. Polymnia Club The Polymnia Glee Club this year is, as its predecessors, the livest organiza- tion in the school and is the best ever, according to Professor McCray. Besides the benefits derived front the club along musical lines, much is gained in a social way by the advantages offered from the close associations of such a group of girls. Nothing was too hard or unpleasant, of which they could not see the brighter and even humorous side. Front this trait, the club received the name. Polymnia. Several concerts were given in Pittsburg during this year and were received heartily. As a recognition of their appreciation of the club's work, the ntanager of the Motor Show gave a dinner at the Country Club with the girls as honored guests. In neighboring towns, among which were Parsons and Columbus, the club acquitted itself creditably. Most of the members will return to S. M. T. N. next year and this together with increased interest that is being taken in such organization, promises a very successful year for the Polymnia Club. MEMBERS OF THE CLUB.

The Russonian Literary Society is composed only of High School students. Its purpose is twofold: to give the students social recreation, and to make them feel at ease before an audience. In these meetings, the students become better acquainted with each other and are given some social pleasures with their school work. This year the Russonian Society was the only organization of a literary nature in S. M. T. N. It was a decided success. The programs were very good and the attendance unusually large; sixty-five were present at the first meeting. Social Committee— Harold Bournonvillc, Beulah O’Dell.

For the past war “The Manualite,” like all school enterprises, gave way to the demands and needs of various war activities, and did not make its appearance until the month of February. There was doubt on the part of some whether the small student body could revive “The Manualite” and “The Kanza” at the same time. After much debating the two staffs were elected and each was determined its publication should be successful. The staffs’ faith in their ultimate success, with the support and cooperation of the entire student body, has made pos- sible these two most creditable undertakings. The aim of “The Manualite” staff has been to publish a college monthly with six strong departments: editorial, literary, social, athletic, humorous and the cartoon. The literary section, which in the past had been conspicuous by its absence, is being emphasized this year and is perhaps the strongest department. Each month we publish an original story, a continued story, and a war story. The war stories are written by members of our student body who have seen active service in Belgium and France. “The Manualite” has a hundred percent circulation among the stu- dents of S. M. T. N. The student activity entitles the holder to a copy of the magazine each month. This places a great opportunity as well as responsibility upon the editors in the moulding of a proper school spirit and loyalty. The purpose of the publication has been to give students what they want and at the same time raise the standard of their wants. The real success of “The Manualite” is due to the effort and labors of the editor-in-chief and his loyal staff, who make many personal sacrifices in its interest. mmm The Techne K lgar Mendenhall President Brandenburg W.

Dellinger The Teehne Ever since the occasional publication of a mimeograph sheet, during the early years of our institution, the school has endeavored to print a magazine for the purpose of keeping the alumni in close touch with hap- penings at S. M. T. N. and to offer aid in different departments to those in the field. From the mimeograph stage a short step led to “Sawdust and Filings,” a step higher, and a sheet printed in our own shop and with a little more regularity. The “S. M. T. N. Bulletin” came next, a paper which outstepped the possibilities of our printing establishment and so sought the aid of the State printers. With a determination for something that would completely “fill the bill,” in the month of March, 1917 the “Teehne” made its appearance. The mimeograph page now assumed the dignity of a full-fledged magazine with something of interest and value from the title page to the end. It is issued every month except August and September and is sent free to all Alumni and students of the school and to teachers, school officials and citizens upon request. The purpose that prompted the first issue of the mimeograph page have also grown. They are at present as follows: to set forth the distinctive work of the State Manual Training Normal: to publish papers that will be of interest to its readers; to assist teachers to keep with the development in their subjects; to foster a spirit of loyalty that will effect united action among the Alumni and former students in promoting the best interests of the institution. The Junior High News The Junior High News is the official organ of the Junior High School. The first staff was organized in 1914. Its fortunes have been varied. Sometimes two copies a month appear, again two copies a year. The members of the staff for 1918-19 are: Ermal Whitesitt, editor; Arthur Bitner, assistant editor; Lloyd Markle, business manager. The news items, poems, stories and jokes are written by members of the Junior High School. The Athletic Council Donghmnn Professor Yules Johnson Professor Arnientronl Fuhrer Court right Knnsoni Miss Wiswell Miss MeCionigul Vells The unified and efficient work of our Athletic Council, along: with the splendid work of our coaching staff, has been a big factor in the success of our teams.

Six letter men reported the first night. Doughman, Grabske, Scott, Spurgeon, Johnson, Smith and Hinkle. The squad was increased by a number of new men with football experience. Campbell came in from the Pittsburg High; Dunbar from the Normal High's last year's team; Stone from the Katy team at Parsons and experience on the squad at the Case School of Applied Science at Cleveland, Ohio; and Tom Grant from Altamont High. There were two weeks of good practice, then the War Department's ruling on trips, then the ‘Flu”—then no football—no practice for three weeks. With two day’s signal practice the team raised its sails and set out on November 2nd for Springfield to meet the Missouri Normals. The Manuals were able to carry the ball at will the first half, but fumbled so wretchedly that only one touchdown was scored. The better physical condition of the Springfield team told. They put over two touchdowns the second half, beating us 7 to 14. At the next game, a week later, we defeated the strong Ottawa team on our own gridiron 6 to 0. The features of this game were the ability of Scott at returning punts, and the line plunging of Grant. Uncle Sam wanted our husky fellows to fight another way; so Scott, Doughman, Hinkle, Galpine and Spurgeon put out to Camp Grant. We threw other men in and went ahead. College football seemed out of the question. We took on the strong Fort Scott High School team the week before Thanksgiving. With a lot of new and green men in the line-up we succeeded in getting the big end of the 35 to 6 score. Then came the 138 Field Artillery game at Thanksgiving when we ran up a score of 19 to 0. Things ran smoothly that day; everything worked, line bucks, end runs and forward passes. A good many men were used in the four games of the season. A few were given honorable mention in the Kansas City Star’s Honor Roll. Doughman, Hinkle, Scott, Grant, and Weidemann were given honorable mention. me-KWiza JOHN. W. FUHRER When R. 0. Court right left for the Navy, Coach “.lawn” took hold of the football coaching for the season of 1918 just like it was an old fa- miliar job. It was really a continuation of his old work when he was football mentor for seven years in the earlier days of football at S. M. T. N. When Jawn says, come on now, big fellow, lug that ball on a little, you can feel the pep” begin to rise. Ralph S. Smith, better known as Tiny” left his farm work near Girard to help put the foot- ball team in shape. Big Smith put the boys through many a hard practice at the tackling dummies and at the charging sled. When “Tiny” said, ‘ we have it to do, boys; we have it to do. boys.” we just rallied and did it. RALPH H. SMITH —WK Jack never moved the scale beam up very fast, but in football togs he balanced the line in good shape at center. He snapped the oval back and put it where the boys wanted it. Jack never lacked for willingness, doing better as the season advanced. We want him to cast his lot among the gridiron men for two or three more seasons and then watch out. JACK DOTY “Johnnie’s” brothers put him into the game in his Freshman year and he has been battling along the path they trod ever since. He will catch “Windy, too, if he sticks with the sport. He is pretty slippery now; what will he be next fall if injuries will not keep him from traveling? He can play half or quarter and do it right. When the curtain arose on the 19IS football season. Galpine came out to do his best. He went in at guard and made a solid man at that position. Fine etiquette never bothered “Hincv when there was a chance to fall on the ball. No one toted the ball by him; he hooked them on the spot. He has another year to help in making football history at S. M. T. Jl. GALPINE IMM fflEKANZt John Wiedenmann was the only member of the 1918 football squad who stayed put. Johnny was the regular quarter of the team; he played in every game; he never took time out; he stayed at his position and fought the whole season through. He was field captain and acting captain in two of the games. Johnnie is a dangerous man when he gets away with the ball; it takes speed to catch him. JOHN WIEDENMANN Bob enjoys football like the proverbial duck does water. Bob is heady and steady. He started with the whistle, never stopping until the ball was dead or the man down. He played right end and busted up every attempt of the opponents that was directed his way. We want him in his place again next fall. ROBERT DUNBAR Working part of the season at end, Campbell was later in the season placed at half-back. He made good in both positions. No competition was too hard for him; he wel- comed hard knocks; the harder they came the broader his smile. “Irish” enjoys the sport and when he goes in, it is in earnest. m® ELMO CAMPBELL This football stuff is my meat. Stone liked the game. He was put out of two games on account of bad knee but the coach could not keep him on the ‘Varsity bench. Coach. 1 am a stranger to that seat. On Thanksgiving day he was in shape to get at 'em, doing effective work at center. G. F. STONE Wells looks the part of a steady and reliable man and his looks are far from deceiving. George just keeps working. If he can’t get them one way. he gets them another; in other words, he uses his head. He could play almost any position, in the line or in the back field without making a bone. GEORGE WELLS The longer lit” played at the game the better he ap- peared. He could run with the ball, and the farther he went the more football flesh it took to stop him. He had the fighting spirit. He held down the guard position for a time, but later was moved to tackle. 4UE-MN2V Tom was a dangerous man on (he offensive. His line plunging was a feature of every game when he ploughed through for the needed distance on the fourth down. The calcium light will glare some time when Tom gets his toe educated. He will be the first in the moleskins, trying at full-back next fall. T. II. GRANT When Tris” went through the line you could see where he traveled; he left his trail behind. The deeper the inter- ference the better he liked it, and the harder he went in to meet it. One good tackle and they never came that way again. T. L. SIUIRG ICON Critics recognized the ability of Scott by calling him the sidestepper. Whether on the offensive or defensive he de- ported himself like a veteran. He was a wizard at run- ning back punts. There is no doubt about the way Scott will perform next fall. m rlfcniwiw V: This man is a tower of strength in the line. He is strong on the defensive. 11 ink never lets them get by him. Like a bear he paws them out of his way to get the man with the ball. He would rather open a hole and watch the back field race through than eat a good square meal at the mess hall. Watch for Hinkle next fall, his heavy tread will make that old gridiron shake. It. II. HINKLE Doughman can play tackle as befitting a football man. He can open a hole in the line; he can run with the ball and can catch a forward pass whether it falls in his arms or not. The wing station is safe when Doughman holds it down. i LISLE DOUGHMAN Archer played in all the games. While he appeared in the line-up in all of them, he did not put in the required amount of playing to be entitled to a letter. Archer played in the back field and at end, taking his place and doing his best, whenever called upon. We want him back next year. R. ARCHER Personnel I eslie Robins.. left end .19 years M2 lbs.

The squad grew until there were enough to take seven men on the first trip. The first game was with Ottawa, where the boys fought hard against the last year's Conference champions, only to lose by a score of 48 to 17. The next night, against the present Conference champions, our men fought Baker to the score of 44 to 16. The following night at Lawrence the Indians succeeded in beating us 37 to 22. On our court the next week the All-Service team was defeated 46 to 19. The work of the boys picked up from this time on. On January 30th, Erie took the short end of a 52 to 11 score. February 4th, our next door neighbors, the Mulberry Giants, came down with the expectation of beating us, which they proceeded to do in a close score of 25 to 23. On February 9th our S. M. T. N. lads put out for Springfield with unusual determination to show the boys of Missouri. Captain Scott had returned. It gave the boys courage. Two games were played with the Springfield Normal which resulted in our boys winning both games, the first in 66 to 27, the second in 56 to 36. The bunch from Midland payed us a two-day visit on February 12 and 13. We took the first game in 36 to 22. The second game was a come-back for Midland in which they gave us a scare, but our fellows put the game over with a lead of five points at 24 to 19. The next games were with the Springfield Normal on our courts. We just had it on them this year; we took those games 62 to 44 and 59 to 32. This is the first year that S. M. T. N. ever beat Springfield in basketball. That Warrensburg bunch! They were too much for us. We post- poned the Haskell Indian game so as to take two skinnings in 43 to 30 and 53 to 23. But the Haskell Indians did finally come, tommyhawks, scalping knives and all, but “Corkey's” men were too much this time. On March 12, before a record-breaking crowd, we trounced them 47 to 30, closing the best basketball season, the Normal ever had. mmm 'Iff Iff tv This is Scott’s second year on the team. He has been an ideal captain. He has always had the interest of the team at heart and has kept the finest spirit among the hoys. There is no better forward in the State Conference. ROY SCOTT. Captain Dough man has played two years on the Basketball team. Last season he played guard. This year he has been the mainstay at center. He has been able to hold his own against all comers. LISLE DOUGH MAX IBsHHZS mmM mm George is clean and clever and working with undaunted spirit, he has made himself one of the best Basketball guards that ever moved over a Normal court. Don has put in his first year on the Basketball team. He has been at all times consistent in his performance. At all times he plays a cool, heady ga me. DON RANSOM Orach. 1918 Track Hays is one of our best track men. He was a splendid track captain. He led the men in their cross country running, in their indoor work and inspired many a youngster to keep up their training. His performances have been consistent. He made his ten points in the Dual meets; won second in the 100 yards and first in the 220 at the State Meet. mnffi Track Records SUIT!

It has been the finest work-out for the middle distance and distance men that they could engage in during the winter months. The men in this group who showed up best were Doty, Galpine and Tanner, Doty being especially good on long distance, provng his ability by breaking two records in the annual indoor meet and by carrying off first place in the Southwestern meet, with time equal to Manual’s best record.

For v« r l Skelton Center r.i i c Guard Biddle Guard Houston Guard Kooptnan Center Ware Forward Gymnastic Exhibition The tenth annual gymnastic exhibition of the Department of Physical Education was held in the Normal Auditorium March 25th. The program consisted entirely of the class work of the children in the Training School, girls in the High School and College, the men in the College and the boys of the R. 0. T. C. The opening number was a complex march in which were all the stu- dents that come under the Woman’s Department, and which was led by two third grade children. The audience held their breath as they realized that the success of the whole march depended upon such little leaders. But Jane and William led their two hundred followers in and out without the slightest mistake. The folk dancing of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades showed remarkably well the stages in progression of the rythmic work. The play spirit that the children showed by their freedom of movement in the dance, yet not varying from the set rythm even for a half count, proved their unconscious development. The interpretative work done by the Junior High School girls was very classic in its nature. Even the expression of their faces showed how they entered into the story of their dancing. The folk dancing done by the college girls was of an amazing variety; Russian, English, American, Scotch, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and French. These dances were character dances, and dif- ficult because of the decided changes in rythm throughout. The gaiety of the Swedish was in direct contrast to the morbid Russian Grief Dance. The aesthetic dancing class was representative of a high type of rythmic work—freedom of bodily expression being its motto. They gave a Spanish dance, an interpretative dance of Joy and a dignified court dance. The girls’ wand drill conveyed the idea of symmetrical vigorous muscular development for the purpose of developing a body under the complete control of the will. The college men’s bar work was awe inspiring. Many difficult feats were successfully performed. The R. 0. T. C. boys gave us an idea of how Uncle Sam believes in training the soldiers of tomorrow. Their ready response to their director’s commands was instantaneous. Girls Basket Ball The week after Thanksgiving marked the beginning of the season for the girls’ basket ball teams. Much enthusiasm was shown by the three teams: the Sophomores, the Freshmen and the High School. The Sophomores were determined to retain the cup which they had won from the preceding Sophomore class. The other two teams were equally de- termined to become the possessors. The first game was played between the “Reds” and the “Blacks.” The teams received their names from the colors of the ties worn, and were as evenly matched as possible. The outcome of this exciting game spelled victory for the “Reds.” The result of the next game was awaited with much anticipation; and in this game between the Sophomores and Freshmen, good team work was dominant. After an exciting time, in which the teams tied twice, the Sophomores won with a score of 22 to 11. ,The Freshmen and High School teams contested in the afternoon and the game was well attended by High School rooters. The High School surpassed the score held by the Freshmen and were the winners. That the Sophomores doubted the outcome of their contest with the victors was shown by a slight nervousness before the game was called. As the game progressed, this nervousness wore off, and by means of fast plays, the Sophomores again became the winners, thus retaining poss- ession of the loving cup. To increase the enthusiasm and add to the excitement, the “Reds” and “Blacks” were again asked to play. This time, however, the players were changed and the “Blacks” became “Reds” and vice versa. This game was even more exciting than the preceding one between the same teams and resulted in the “Reds” being victorious. Sophomore Basket Ball Team YOOS I .A X YON ISKlt M A N' iu;ii)i:i.bi:i (; omits wvm VN Freshman Basket Ball Team The Music Festival On April 29, 1915, the greatest of all oratorios, “The Messiah,” was presented to Southeastern Kansas at Pittsburg by a chorus of two hundred and fifty voices, conducted by Prof. Walter McCray, head of the Music Department of the State Manual Training Normal. The community chorus was composed of three smaller choruses; one from the Normal and the city of Pittsburg, one from Girard, one from Columbus. It was accompanied by a community orchestra of thirty pieces. Around the rendition of “The Messiah” was built a week of pleasure for all music lovers. The Music Festival week has been observed each succeeding year with growing popularity, shown by the increase of the chorus from two hundred and fifty to over five hundred voices. The Manzoni “Requiem,” a mass, was introduced in 1918, and was presented again this year. “The Messiah” was written in the summer of 1741 by George Frederick Handel in Dublin, Ireland. The theme of the oratorio is divided into three parts: first, the foreshadowing; second, the advent; third, the suffering and the final triumph of the Christ. It is a wonder- ful product of musical art, and is also a deeply inspired expression of religious feeling. “The Requiem” was written in 1873. Guiseppe Verdi poured all his wonderful power of musical expression into the composition of the “Requiem,” a mass that will preserve through the centuries the memory of his beloved poet friend, Alessandro Manzoni. The mass was first pre- sented at Milan on the first anniversary of Manzoni’s death. In this masterpiece, there is a wide variety of style and a wonderful range of emotion, all woven into a consistent unit. Technically, the “Requiem” belongs to the devotional class of music, yet it is strongly dramatic. This makes it an interesting contrast to the “Messiah” which is more severe and elevated. Man’s longing for God, his pensive dwelling on life and death, fittingly prepares the way for the interpretation of the Christ in music. A finished and artistic performance was given this year.

Les Fees de 1’ Aire In addition to the regular class work, consisting of games, Swedish calisthenics, folk and aesthetic dancing, for the women in the Physical Education Department of S. M. T. N., besides the Inter-Class basketball and tennis tournaments, there is given each year a fete. This portrays in dancing and pantomime, a Greek myth, a fairy story or an allegory and is becoming more and more a community affair. The various de- partments of the school contribute their bit in construction and design- ing. The cast of characters has widened to include not only those of the Physical Education Department though of course they are given the most important parts, but any in the community who express a willingness to take part. The desire is always to give these fetes out upon the green, but this year, because of the fact that the new athletic grandstand was not completed, it was given in the Auditorium. By the aid of electric lights, cloud effects and greenery, this auditorium was transformed into a bit of fairyland. “Les Fees de PA ire” is a pantomime ballet written and directed by Edna Irene Wiswell, Physical Director for Women of S. M. T. N., who has presented in Pittsburg the Greek Masque, “Pluto and Perserphina,” and “Le Fete de Jardinier.” The story of “Les Fees de l’Aire” is as follows:: Darkness, an impish villian, tries to rule the World and to hold the Earth as his fair captive. The little Fairies of the Air take upon themselves the wondrous task of breaking the fetters of Darkness with the Light, and then of creating things beautiful for the Earth to look upon. The Clouds, helpers of Darkness, seeing what the little Starbeams do for the Earth, try to tighten the partially broken fetters. In so do- ing they unconsciously give the magic touch which calls forth the Snow Fairies who, in their whiteness, hide with a soft covering many evils of Darkness. The Morning Star, the approach of Dawn, and the Sun with many Sunbeams finally break forth in gay victory. To celebrate the Earth's newly bought freedom and to amuse her, the gentle South Wind comes bringing in its caressing warmth, Spring and the Flowers. The elfish East Wind, trying to make mischief, calls back the Clouds who bring Thunder, Lightning and Rain to help them. The Sun looking down smiles upon the quarrel—a Rainbow.

Shortly before the demobilization of the Students Army Training Corps, this institution made application for the establishment of two units of the R. 0. T. C., the Senior Unit for College students and the Junior Unit for the High School students. Major H. G. Weaver was detailed here as Professor of Military Science and Tactics and reported for duty on January 12. Enrollment for the two units started at the beginning of the second semester, January 27. Drills started early in February and classwork about two weeks later. Sergeant Erskin James, a member of the Regular Army for a number of years, reported for duty as Assistant Instructor on April 1. Although colleges and universities in all parts of the country have had military training under regular army officers for many years it was not until 1916 that the R. 0. T. C. was established by act of Congress, The object of the R. O. T. C. is to give the students a thorough physical training, inculcate in them a respect for all lawful authority and teach the fundamentals of military training and leadership, so that when they graduate they will be better qualified to solve the problems of civil life and better prepared to perform intelligently their duties as leaders of men both in civil life and in case of future military necessity. The S. A. T. C. was a war emergency measure and the members R. O. T. C.—Continued were regularly enlisted in the army, received intensive military training and scholastic work was necessarily slighted. But the It. 0. T. C. is essentially a peace time proposition; it offers a course of instruction in military science and tactics to students in the same way as other depart- ments of the school offer courses in mathematics, history and biology. Members of the It. 0. T. C. are not enlisted and are under no obliga- tion for service of any kind. The only requirements for membership are regular enrollment in S. M. T. N., physically fit, over 14 years of age and the agreement that when the basic course is started it will be con- tinued for two years unless the student leaves school before that time. A complete new uniform worth about $42.00, government price, is furnished each member each year. Ammunition for both indoor and outdoor target practice is supplied. As this book goes to press just as gallery practice is starting, winners in this semester’s indoor shoot cannot be announced. The indoor range work comes late in May this year. The courses for both College and High School units are progressive and correspond to the scholastic standing of the student. The college course is divided into two parts; a basic course covering the first two years, and an advanced course for the last two years. The four year High School course corresponds very nearly to the basic college course. Upon completing the High School course the students, if selected, can enter the advanced college course, that is, it is not necessary for him to repeat the basic course in college if he has taken the High School course. Three hours per week are devoted to the basic course and to the High School course. Students who have successfully completed the basic course and who agree to take the advanced course of five hours per week and agree to attend a camp during the summers of the last two years in college receive not only complete uniforms each year, but are paid commutation of subsistence amounting to twelve dollars per month at present rate. After graduation such students may obtain commissions as reserve officers. One of the most important features of R. 0. T. C. work is physical training. It is startling to realize that 30 per cent, of our young men within the draft age failed to qualify for full military duty during the war because physically unfit. “Fit to Fight’’ is a term that applies not to national defense only. Life’s every day battles offer a premium for a healthy, well disciplined body. The Government has recommended that all schools, colleges and universities in the country require all students to take not less than 30 minutes physical training daily. This recommendation of the Government has been followed at S. M. T. N. as far as possible, but due to the fact that the schedule of classes for the second semester was prepared before the R. 0. T. C. was organ- R. O. T. C.—Concluded ized no place was open for physical training except from 7:30 to 8 a. m. On account of this time being unsuitable for many of the students, physi- cal training was made voluntary. In spite of these drawbacks the work was started early in February and 35 students and several faculty mem- bers now give visible evidence of its benefits by their more erect carriage, increased gracefulness of body and better health. The course in military science and tactics includes both practical and theoretical instruction. In the basic course, the theoretical instruction takes up: theory of target practice, individual and collective; military organization; map reading; camp sanitation; scouting; patrolling; advance guards; outpost; military policy as shown by the military history of the United States; camping expedients; recent military history; trench and mine warfare; orders; messages; marches and camps. The High School unit receives the same theoretical instruction as above with the addition of guard duty, first aid and signaling. The theoretical instruction for the advanced course of college unit includes; studies in minor tactics; map maneuvers; company administra- tion; military history; international law; property accountability; tactical problems to small forces where several arms of the service are combined; court martial proceedings; psychology of war and kindred subjects; general principals of strategy to show the intimate relationship between the statesman and the soldier. The practical work of the basic college course and the High School course includes; physical drill; infantry drill, both close and extended order; sighting, position and aiming drills; gallery practice: intrench- ments; range practice: sand table work, constructing field work, bridges, obstacles and entrenchments. The practical work of the advanced course consists of duties con- sistent with rank as cadet officers and noncommissioned officers in con- nection with all practical work of the unit. Military sketching is part of this course, each student being required to make a military map of the vicinity. Any new department starting in the middle of the school year is naturally handicapped, and the R. 0. T. C. is no exception. These handi- caps will not exist next fall; a definite time will be assigned to It. 0. T. C. work that will not conflict with any other department and that will permit those students who work either before or after school to do so and still take this course. Complete uniforms and equipment will be on hand at the beginning of the term and two excellent units are con- templated from the very beginning of the school year.

Military service before the Great War was more or less looked down upon. Few young men cast their future lots with the army or navy. Our military training system was small. As a result, when our nation found itself confronted by the necessity of a vast military program, the most difficult problem of all was to officer her gigantic army with men of the highest efficiency. Officers training camps were established, but this method proved faulty because of the lack of the proper kind of previous training of the students and the short amount of time allotted. Accordingly, under General Order No. 79 of the War Department, dated August 24, 1918, authorization was granted for the establishment, by vol- untary induction and draft, of a Students Army Training Corps. Units of this corps were authorized by the Secretary of War at educational insti- tutions that met the requirements laid down in special regulations. The object of the S. A. T. C., as stated by the Government, was to utilize ef- fectively the plant equipment and organization of the colleges for select- ing and training officers and technical experts for service in the existing emergency. A message was sent to all college presidents stating that three S. A. T. C. camps were to be held from July 18th to September 16th and requested that if that institution was to have an S. A. T. C. organization the next fall the president should select a number of men, one for each twen- ty-five male college students, to attend one of those camps. Accordingly, twelve men—LeRoy Scott, George Wells, Glenn Litton, Lloyd Ringle, Low- ell Smith, Paul Grabske, Henry Galpine, Ralph Hinkle, Roy Roach, Paul Sandidge, Tristan Spurgeon, Frank Lenski and Lisle Doughman—entrain- ed for Fort Sheridan, 111. At Fort Sheridan these men received intensive training for sixty days in close and extended order drill, battle forma- tions. charges, defense and other military tactics. When the Fort Sheridan Camp was over, Sandidge and Lenski went to Kansas University to finish their education there; Litton was commis- sioned a second lieutenant and was detailed to the Colorado School of Mines at Golden, Colo.; while the others returned to S. M. T. N. to assist in the instruction of the S. A. T. C. Lieutenant Harry T. Clouse was transferred from Kansas City to take command of military S. M. T. N. and Lieutenant Thomas was sent as Personnel Adjutant. Temporary assignment of positions and preliminary drilling commenced on the morning of September 23rd. The boys made rapid progress, and on October the first, just eight days old in military life, they were able to give a parade. An immense crowd witnessed this parade, which was held on the athletic field. After the parade, the men were marched to the new “mess” hall where they were introduced for the first time to army “chow”. From the line of “seconds” and a few “thirds' the men evidently “fell” for it. (S. A. T. C. Continued) Well, they drilled and drilled, improved and improved, and questioned and worried as to when the uniforms would be here. As is the case in every camp, rumors were numerous and the hearts of the men constantly rose with the feeling of expectation only to sink into despair as the heavy- ily laden trucks approached and then passed on. Only a few could sew and when clothes just naturally grew thin or wore thru then why didn’t those uniforms come? Well they did come and then the campus wasn’t large enough for two hundred and sixty men. All marched to the City Hall on October 8th and there were inducted into the United States Army. In a few days, Sergeants Doughman, Hin- kle. Spurgeon, Scott and Galpine left for Camp Grant, 111. Companies A and B were left in charge of Acting First Sergeants George Wells and Lloyd Ringle respectively. The rifles and other equipment soon came and then work began to be much more interesting. We didn’t go to school those days because, as you know, there was a little “flu” epidemic. So as the boys didn’t want to get Into any mis- chief and thereby get honored with police powers (especially K. P.) they were enthusiastic to drill all day long,—which they did. The barracks were occupied on November 22, and then the real life did commence. As soon as dismissed from drill or other formations, and es- pecially in the half hour between call to quarters and taps, the barracks squirmed with activity. Wrestling, boxing, pitch, and other games (?) were much in evidence. Well, lights went out at ten, then all was si- lent—sometimes. The next thing they heard were those—First Sergeants’ whistles at 6 a. m. the following morning and Oh! how they did hate to get up in the morning! They had ten minutes to get compielely dressed, when the report was taken at reveille. The K. P.’s were selected from among the late and absent (we were always short on K. P.’s and detail men). Of course, then we messed and cleaned up the barracks. Then drill was in order and when sick call was blown it was surprising how many invalids were in the Corps. In the evening a sing-song was often held, but sometimes we went to a hated study period. The Armistice put a little crimp into the morale and enthusiasm of the Companies, and from then on it was: “When will the discharge blanks come?” They came on December 15th and the next day the barracks was the loneliest spot in Kansas. Many of the boys remained at S. M. T. N. some went elsewhere to school, and still others returned to the positions that were waiting for them. Thus came and passed away the S. A. T. C. Awaiting Orders. I’ve missed the sights of Paris Where they say the bright lights shine, Slept in mud and waited orders While our brave boys broke the line, All the Kaiser’s land and jewels For these words I’d gladly pay: There’s a transport in the harbor, And you’re ordered home today. I’ve seen my comrades buried When the convoy’s lights were dim, Heard the bugles sounding mess call When the grub was mighty slim, Now my heart is in the Home Land, And I wish someone would say: There's a transport in the harbor, And you’re ordered home today. I’ve been robbed by foxy merchants, Heard the night bird’s lyric song, Felt the clutch of Spanish Flu, As my best friends passed along. Now the long, long trail is turning, Soon we’ll hear the captain say: There’s a transport in the harbor, And you’re ordered home today. We’re sick of French lassies, And of Belgium beauties too, Of the red wines of the Provinces We’ve sampled quite a few. Our next stop is old New York. Soon we’ll hear the captain say: There’s a transport in the harbor, And you’re ordered home today. Hark! I hear a siren moaning, Clear away the craft afore! ’Tis a gray old army transport Coming from the homeland’s shore. She’s calling, softly calling me To come across the sea Where a mother and a sweetheart Long and watch for me. Now my soldier days are over And I need no longer stay. There’s a transport in the harbor, And we’re ordered home today. wmm Military From the length and breadth of our land the moral, financial and fighting forces of our Nation were mustered into shape to cope with the “Autocratic Terror” of Mid-Europe. Young men were needed—young men went. Not one class alone furnished the material for “our” army and navy, but every class. Service flags hung in the windows of mansions and hovels alike. Our schools, frequented by young men, began to feel the drain; some turned into military camps during the first part of the war, others were forced to close their doors and those which managed to survive dwindled and later established military training units. Inter-collegiate athletics ceased. Boys of S. M. T. N. proved that there was in them the highest type of patriotism. They went into the service, giving their all for the good of their Country, some never to return to their dear Alma Mater and to those who are nearer and dearer to them. To them we give greatest honor and glory for they reached the high water mark of loyalty and sacrifice. Many of our boys reached the land overseas but did not get to the front line and many were still in this country anxious to sail. All these were equally willing and anxious to serve their country but were detained by the military processes of our Government. Like all other institutions of America, S. M. T. N. is proud of her fighting force. The following list is the product of much time and effort, but the task, at this time, of producing a complete and correct list is next to impossible. f HE STATE MANUAL TRAINING HONOR ROLL FULLER, BEN HAYDEN, FLOYD NF.WM AN, AI.BEUT PAWLING, GUY M.

The development of technical courses in S. M. T. N. was brought about by two causes; first, the change in the preparation demanded for teachers of mathematics, science, and industrial arts in the public schools; second, the great need of technically trained men in the mines and industrial plants of this section of Kansas. The first reason given will be quite apparent to anyone who has care- fully followed the trend of public education during the past fifteen or twenty years. Gradually there has been developing in the consciousness of the citizens of this nation a feeling that a high school education should be for all the children of the community, and not for just those children who expected to become the professional class. In response to this senti- ment, better buildings were erected, higher standards for teachers estab- lished, and also new types of work introduced into the school curriculum. Manual training and home economics courses were rapidly developed in every progressive high school, and the necessary cooperation of other departments with these subjects, made a new emphasis on the practical phases of mathematics and science. The work in manual training and home economics has been greatly extended and brought closer into direct relation with the trades and industries into which the boys and girls will later enter. The night schools which were being established in the industrial com- munities were first of a general academic nature, but during the past few years these have been placed in the closest possible contact with the com- mercial and industrial occupations of each community. On account of this change in both the day and evening schools, there has been considerable change in the qualifications demanded of teachers. The use of power machinery in the manual training departments made it necessary that the teacher of manual training be somewhat familiar with gasoline engines, electric motors and generators, electric wiring and many other facts of a mechanical nature. This need was recognized by this institution as early as 1912, and during that year and the one following, courses in mechanics, electrical machinery, gas engines, and electric wiring were introduced. These courses met with a very gratifying response from the young men who recognized the necessity of this information as an aid to the proper care and operation of the machinery in their shops. The prospective teachers of physical science also found such courses exceedingly valuable in making their work more attractive to the boys of their respective schools. These courses of an elementary engineering character have been strengthened, and also many others added, in order that this institution might keep to the front in the proper training of teachers of all subjects which are connected with industrial education. But even before these practical courses for teachers were started, there was such a demand for instruction in subjects relating to mining and other industrial occupations among the men of the immediate community, that special night classes in these subjects were organized as early as 1910. These classes were earned on without any expense to the state, as a few teachers were glad to contribute some of their evenings to this much needed work. This evening instruction has been greatly expanded, during the past four or five years until at the present time as many as 500 to 600 adult men and women are enrolled each year. The nation-wide emphasis on technical instruction brought about by our participation in the recent war, made it necessary for this institution to actively engage in practical education not only for the training of teachers, but also for the training of young men to help render our industrial occu- pations more efficient. Accordingly in the spring of 1918 several types of engineering courses of an industrial character were formulated and printed in a special technical bulletin and put into operation in September. During the present school year these courses have been somewhat modi- fied, and will be printed in the 1919 catalog. Most of the subjects in- cluded in these courses had previously been given for the training of prac- tical teachers of Industrial Arts, Sciences, and Mathematics. At present four types of courses are offered, any separate one of which may be completed in two years by a high school graduate. Courses in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mining Engineering, are the ones offered now, but others will be added as there is sufficient demand. Any young man who desires to follow either the practical work of these engineering vocations, or who might wish to teach such subjects in the technical high schools, will find these two-year courses of very great value. Much new equipment will be added for the classes next year, and we are confidently looking forward to an appre- ciative response from the young men of technical inclinations. Much of the work now being done does not require high school gradu- ation for entrance, and should therefore be classed as vocational and trade instruction. The night school classes are at present almost all of this type, and include classes in mining, steam engines, electrical machinery, gasoline motors, armature winding, machine shop practice, automobile mechanics, drafting, applied mathematics, and applied science. For these classes expert tradesmen and teachers of practical experience are secured in order that the methods of procedure employed may be strictly in accordance with standard practice. Extension classes in mining, drafting, and steam engineering have been conducted at several places outside of Pittsburg.

Properly Dressed You Can Look the World Squarely in the Eye Many, many men have a secret philos- ophy about the character of clothes they wear. They know that power is largely a matter of consciousness, and that a man must win his own approval before he can command the approval of others. If, for any reason—negligence, a false sense of economy, or lack of good judg- ment—a man clothes himself in gar- ments that misrepresent his taste, or feeling, or knowledge of relative quali- ties, he knows that he loses some of the power by which men achieve success.

It is little known to the average reader, although the tourist finds it to extremely interesting.

Both men and women are vary peculiar in their habits and costumes, having made practically no «’haurre in the latter during the past three hundred years. They seldom emigrate nor do they welcome strangers and are sufficient unto themselves that they don't even speak the language of Holland, having an indescribable language of their own which frequently staggers a real Hollander.
