Department of Music WALTER McCllAV Music has become a necessity in this country. In every vicinity music study is considered a part of our educational program. Many persons of musical training are adding to their earnings, in other vocations, by play- ing in theatres, leading bands, orchestras, singing and leading choirs. The Music Department of S. M. T. N. is giving music in the most practical way.

Department of Geography EULALIA E. ROSKBERRY. B. S. It is the aim of the Geography Department to make the scope of the work broad enough that the student may get an idea of the bigness, the value and the beauty of the subject; to make the work practical enough that it may enter into daily use; to make it interesting enough that it may become a habit. An attempt is made to so harmonize the individual with his physical and political environment that he may become a citizen capable of rational judgment and action. It is the desire to serve as many people as possible in as many ways as possible in the best manner pos- sible.

■uTnlll ODg@°§D Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Electrical and Mining Engineering J. A. VATES, B. S.f M. S. This department has had an excellent year. The practical courses which the department offers in Electrical and Mining Engineering togeth- er with the vocational classes associated with the engineering work have succeeded beyond our reasonable expectation. It is the earnest hope of the department that out of its engineering graduates will come many voca- tional and Science teachers. The appropriations of both Federal and State Governments point clearly to our educational needs and should be guide posts to any department vitally interested in making teachers. We have not only served the teachers of Kansas in our extension classes but have continued teaching many Smith-Hughes classes, thereby increasing our clientele and making friends for the institution of those engaged in other lines of work than teaching. The department fully real- izes that the subjects which it represents are fundamental sciences which find their application in many and varied activities in which people are employed. We seek to serve in the broadest and fullest way.
