adjusted and happy in the school. The whole atmosphere of the school is that of good fellowship, of working and playing together. In the evening hours set apart for study and th! morning hours for recitation, we work at things scholastic as if we had no y ther department. In the military hour, we master military drill with equal interest and enthusiasm. When three o'clock comes and we turn to recreation and sports, we play as if we had neither academic nor military departments. This succession of interests prevents monotony and contributes to the development of sound scholarship, good health, character, and well-rounded personality. We believe it to be the duty of private preparatory schools to cultivate thoroughness in everything undertaken and to insist on mastery of funda- mental courses. As a means toward achieving these desirable ends, we believe it to be the duty of private schools to restrict their enrollments to actual capacity and to avoid overcrowding facilities in the manner now unavoidable in the public schools. Regardless of size of dormitory rooms, we question the wisdom of placing more than two boys to the room. We believe that private schools, both military and nonmilitary, have a duty to perform in maintaining sound standards of scholarship and favorable working conditions leading to those standards. We doubt that any teacher or group of teachers can now foresee the prob- lems that will require solution ten or twenty years from this time. Therefore, we believe it to be the primary duty of all good schools to develop thorough- ness and mental discipline in their pupils, so that in the years to come they will be able to concentrate effective thought toward the solution of problems as they arise. With this understanding of our basic educational beliefs and purposes, we invite you to read the pages which follow, giving information more in detail about this school. If you like the school as described, we invite you to com- municate with us. Very sincerely, C. R. ENDSLEY, JR., President. Page Five

0 Ogil and p6U 8l'lf:5 E ARE assuming that the reader of this catalog is either a boy interested n selecting the school he will attend or a Parent equally interested in selecting the school which he believes will develop the best capabilities of his boy. In either case, you want to learn all you can about the schools under consideration. The choosing of a school is the most important choice made by, or for, a boy up to the time that choice is made. The school period from age thirteen to eighteen is the period in which ambitions are fired and the foundations laid determining future happiness and successg or it is the period in which laxities develop, leading to poor achievement and disappointment. You are interested in selecting the right school. We are interested in selecting for admission boys for whom our program of work and activities is well suited. In the next few pages we have discussed what we consider the most important considerations in selecting a school. In later pages will be found information concerning courses of study, athletic and other activities, cost of attendance, et cetera. Read the catalog from the beginning and write for further information on any point which may not be clear. Do not act on the assumption that all military schools are alike and that it makes no dif- ference which one is selected. Schools differ just as much as do the men who direct their policies. You will learn that Tennessee Military Institute is a school of well-estab- lished traditions. The administrative officers have worked together for more than forty years and are in complete harmony on what constitutes desirable procedures. This continuity of management and steadiness of policy have given the school a distinct character of its own. It is a school of high scholastic standards, designed to serve the interests of boys from good homes whose ambitions and life plans call for later attend- ance in the better colleges and professional schools. T. M. I. is a friendly school. The teachers are friendly and helpful toward the boys, easily approachable at all times, and ready to help a boy with his personal problems, whether great or small. Old boys are friendly and helpful toward new boys and have a large share in assisting the new boy in becoming Page F our

Most discrimi- nating parents will seek to find a school CD known for its scholastic excel- lence, f2j known to be under the direction of men of sound character, whose influences on maturing boys will be desirable, Q32 a school large enough to afford a comprehensive program and small enough to afford individual atten- tion, MJ a school having adequate, comfortable, clean buildings and sani- tary surroundingsg C51 a school that gives promise of permanence by the success of its past and the achievements of its present, f6j a school located in a favorable environment, judged from the point of view of the individual parent, C75 a school so situated as to promise freedom from distracting in- fluences such as beset most boys in their home communities, and Q81 a school equipped with such recreational facilities as make it probable that the boy will be happy in his surroundings. Since parents differ in their tastes and judgments and since boys differ in type and temperament, quite obviously schools of varying types will appeal to different family groups. In the paragraphs which follow, we undertake to discuss the foregoing elements of importance in the selection of a school and to explain the position of Tennessee Military In- stitute on each of them. 1- SCHUI-ASTIC This is a period of great diversity of method in the teaching EXCELLENCE profession and of equal diversity of objectives sought in dif- ferent schools. A generation ago, private preparatory schools and public high schools taught a limited number of subjects in much the same manner, holding the pupil to a program of consecutive courses until some de- gree of mastery was attained in the essential branches of English, Mathematics, Latin for other foreign languagej, History, and Science. Twenty-five or thirty years ago a trend developed under which the requirements for a high school diploma could be satisfied by the substitution of many so-called vocational courses without regard to the contribution these made toward fitting a boy for Page Six
