Let there be light”, and there was light. Because of the foregoing command- ment and because that commandment was obeyed a habitat was made ready for Adam, and Adam was glad. Now kind reader, let your mind swiftly follow through the countless ages and note the progress that man has made in his strife for better things. All along the way there have been wars and rumors of war. Many of the things striven for have been settled by conquest and battle, but many were settled in peace and harmony” With this introductory paragraph we feel sure that the psychological moment is at hand for further explanation. It was in the fall of 1915 that a little band of K. S X S students, the rank of whom was formerly known as “post-graduates”, met with the president of the school and or- ganized themselves into a class As soon as the preliminaries of class organization were completed and officers elected, the next thing was to name the class This was not so easily done The name of Senior was suggested, but behold, we were tramping on hal- lowed ground, for a class of lower rank proclaimed aloud that they were the Seniors, and that they were so, traditionally. After much watchful waiting it was settled in due form by our faculty that this class of lower rank should be called the Senior Class,and that our class should be known as the 120-IIour Class. The remainder of the year was spent in sending to and receiving from the Senior Class notes of minor importance upon petty subjects. Kach note was, of course, in the form of an ultimatum in every respect except the real issue. It was only a few weeks before the close of the term that all diplomatic relations were severed, and since that time both classes have progressed admirably. This is our history. Now in a few closing remarks we wish to state that we feel that we have no apology to make to the president, the faculty, or to any one person or organization for our existence as an 120-Hour Class. We know that it is the 1'rst and we sincerely hope that it is the last class in this school with its present nomenclature. But under its present name this class has modestly said, “ Let there be light!” and next year that light will shine—and even the Senior Class of 1910 will be glad II I.

ON 10 of h ‘ most eventful days in school this year, at least to forty of us, was the day on which President Kirk organized the 1016 Senior ('lass of the K. S. N S. W ith Earl Dille ns our President, we held our first meeting November 27. 101 � . The first event for which we became famous in the eves of the school was to deter- mine “what shall he the name of our class?” As there had been organized a class of more advanced students in school who chose to be identified again by the dignified name of “•Seniors”, it seemed for a while that our name might degenerate into “Juniors'’. This momentous question was at last amieubly settled by allowing our class the coveted name and the higher class the name “ 120-1 lour Class . We at once adopted the class motto, “Through trials to triumph”. A few weeks after our birth, as a class, we laid our dignity on the shelf along with our school books, and donning fanner garb, hied ourselves to the gymnasium and enjoyed an old-fashioned “conntree party”. 'Phis affair was a decided success,—or at least we thought so. Now our time's not all been pleasant. We’ve had sorrows just as well: We 'most grieved ourselves to weakness When we heard the funeral knell”. Oh! tin death of our dear brothers— The upper class we loved so well! How we miss their envious faces, None in school but us can tell. They have gone; then we must tell you Most of them descended low; Why St. Peter sent them downward None but them will ever know. After this funeral and judgment day of the 120-IIour Class wc tried hard to assume again our school duties with the same light heart and cheerful smile by which we had always been characterized, but in vain. Our grief was genuine and our tears seemed forever to flow. In order that the world may know of the brilliancy of this class which now numbers fortv-six individuals, we might introduce to you a few of our most illustrious memliers We boast of having 1). K. Neale, President of the Student Senate; W. Everett Meals, Editor in Chief of the Index; M K Pelt ., Teaching Scholar in Chemistry and Vgricul- ture; Josephine Kaye and Jennie Torril. Teaching Scholars in Latin: Leo Pctrco, the Champion Athlete of the class; 11 B Poison, Teaching Scholar in Manual Arts; Flora Wright. Teaching Scholar in Photography; Phradic Wells, Stanley Shaw and Flora Wright, our most noted class musicians; and even' John Craig, tin class phenomena who makes K’s every quarter without ever studying. We forgot -he was accused, once, of studying for two hours at one sitting in the library, and, because of the unusual event, it was declared that the library clock stopped. Now. as a class, we stand for democracy, school “pep , and “our faculty We believe that posterity will be benefited by our examples, and by our deeds of kindness while in the dear old K S. N S. Then, it� the language of the poet let our last thoughts be: If we have faltered more or less In our great task of happiness: If we have moved among our race. And shown no glorious morning face; If beams from happy human eyes Have moved us not; if morning skies. Books and our food, and summer rain. Knocked on our sullen hearts in vain,— I.ord, thy most pointed pleasure take, And stab our spirits broad awake . .1 T ANCU S, Kt rksvii.be. Mo l'is good will that niaki'-S intelligence” BERTIIA ARM.

Bright spot of our earnest endeavor Farewell to the President and Faculty, too. And fond ties that we now must sever Sometimes the daily pursuit has been hard. And often when fear arises We hear the echo from 27 C The test is. how do you meet the crisis”. There is no rose without a thorn. Who has not found this true, And knows that grief of gladness born. Our footsteps still pursue? For in the grandest harmony The strongest discords rise. The brightest bow we only trace I’pon the darkest skies. Our labors here have been lightened By our President’s hearty cheer; And our hearts grow sad and lonely When the time to part draws near bet’s put our shoulders to the wheel, And resolve as from here we pass To make this dear old Normal School Proud of the Senior Class. But wherever we choose to labor. Though many years roll between, .May we recall and remember with pleasure 'The class of Nineteen-Sixteen . Adieu, adieu, we say again, To each and every one, For always through trials to triumph The? guerdon must be won. K B W Sixty houR ClrsS 'V ixtp I?our Class F.iukne Bash.

It was organized for a definite purpose, some of its fundamental aims being: to create a wider interest in Home Economics; to assist in the ameloriation of social conditions in the community; to in- spect and improve the conditions under which women and girls work; to better the living conditions of light housekeeping, in this connection having a “ Light Housekeeper's Day”; and to undertake the solution of special problems in serving. Among various activities participated in, the club has enjoyed a unique “chop suey luncheon”, at which The Rev. K. S. de Putney revealed the science involved in the preparation of this mysterious dish, together with some interesting facts on Chinese dishes and methods of serving. Mr. Putney will discuss Japanese, Turkish, Spanish and Italian kitchens and concoctions at a future meeting The girls of the club spent a very profitable and enjoyable evening when they visited the Palace bakery to study the method of bread making used at that place. An after- math of this visit was the stunt given by the Home Economics Club at tin Booster Social, where the methods of breadmaking of the Palace Bakery and of the Home Economics laboratory were contrasted. The conclusion reached was, “What’s the use?” Throughout its activities the club never loses sight of its great aim the endeavor to bring into the home such conditions as beauty, comfort, and health, and to bring into the community the spirit of wholesomeness, social happiness and good fellowship.

It has not. however, l ecn the policy of the club to compromise when meeting an adversary, but rather to fight to a finish This spirit has enabled them to win a fair share of the inter-club contests, as well as to furnish a goodly number of the debaters in inter-collegiate contests. The club is now the holder of the K S X S. Inter-Club Debate Trophy Cup won in the series of debates given last year.

Regular meetings of the society are held every t wo weeks. The program usually consists of a formal discussion of some subject of historical interest, followed by a round table discussion of the subject and of current events The best sentiment of the society demands that at each meeting each member spend at least a few minutes in t he discussion of some topic which is of historical interest. It is felt that much benefit is to be derived from such free and informal work in which both faculty members and students take part. In addition to the usual programs, the society has often invited prominent his- torians to address its members and visitors in an open session, and much good has been derived from this part of the work The Historical Society hopes through its work to encourage st udents of history and prospective teachers of history ‘‘It intends to be always progressive, yet always sound and serious 103 HtKAI.

A very important part of our work is done in connection with the Y M C A of the American School of Osteopathy.

It had been a custom of the Guliek family for twenty years to go camping on the Thames River in Connecticut every summer. Their children grow up in a very close companionship with Nature. Outsiders soon began to discover the value of their experience, and they were in demand at other summer camps. So, in order to keep the family together while camping. Mrs. Guliek organized the first Camp Fire, giving it the name ’ Wohelo . It was built on the strong foundation of work, health and love. It is from this spark that the magnificent flame of the national camp fire organization has been kindled, and it is to the wonderful Mrs Guliek that we are indebted for the many beautiful things which camp fire life gives us. The system of honors was developed from the idea that all work can be made pleas- ant and interesting if the right attitude is taken towards it It teaches girls to meet with patience and good cheer the hardships which fall to woman’s lot as a homemaker. One is taught to regard bodily vigor and control as a means to spiritual health, and the life spent out of doors earning health honors is, indeed, worth while. So the glowing coals from that first fire have been carried far, and many new fires have been lighted, carrying the camp fire spirit of work, health, and love to all parts of America. At the present time there are 38,987 camp f.re girls and 3.159 guardians Miss Myrtie Van Deusen, a former member of our faculty, was in Columbia I'ni- versity at the time that Mrs Guliek organized her camp, and received special instruc- tion from her concerning the nature of the work. On her return to Kirksville she helped to start the movement here, becoming guardian of the Keouk camp in November, 1912. Since that time ten camps have been organized, there being eight active ones now with an enrollment of nearly one hundred twenty girls.

Parnsij XN the death of Miss Ophelia A Parrish the students lost something more than a painstaking teacher and an evcr-helpful librarian. Miss Parrish was a gentle woman of the old school, by birth and education,- a woman of breeding and culture, modest ami dignified In her wore born and bred the qualities that have ever made the southern gentlewoman attractive. As a southern woman she was a conservative, vet she had an intelligent sympathy with the problems of the day, and to many of these problems she lent her support with the enthusiasm of a tadicnl She was a champion of all that pertains to the betterment of woman's position, and jealous of all that hampered woman's advancement Enthusiasm characterized Miss Parrish to an unusual degree It was this that sent her off to visit libraries and library schools from the Atlantic to the Pacific, to attend state and nat ional convent ions of library workers, it was this that made her eyes sparkle when she taught the merits of tin Dewey Decimal System, or s|)oke of the merits of cer- tain volumes of children's literature; and it was this same enthusiasm that made no ex- penditure of time and energy seem too great in enabling a student to find whatever the library might contain on any subject on which he was working She was the student's friend and helper.

Those of us who heard the brief remarks ipade by Professor Gentry to the class that had thus honored him recall how deeply he was touched, and how graciously ho expressed his apprecia- tion. When he was so suddenly taken from us last November we felt that we owed a debt of gratitude to tin class of 1915 for having given expression, before it was too late, to the regard which we all felt for him Few teachers in tin state have touched so many lives in tin close personal relation of the class room as Professor Gentry was privileged to touch during the third of a cen- tury in which he served the Kirksvilie State Normal School. Many of us have come to this school because it is the one which our parents attended, and always on leaving home there has been a message for Professor Gentry, ‘‘who used to teach me Latin”. lie was the tie that bound many an old graduate to the school of today, and we express the feelings of the old students and the new when we say that we never knew a purer nor a gentler soul, nor a more genial and courteous gentleman We know of no words that more fitly describe him than one of his favorite quotations from Horace.

The play was staged at Rome in 161 B. O. at the Gudi Romani. Terence's work is scarcely more than a translation of a Greek play dating back to about 280 B C. Thus in seeing Phormio, we were carried back three centuries before the time of Christ and given an opportunity to study the drama in its early stages. To those who thought of the Romans as using the long periodic sentences of Cicero, or writing in the solemn, stately rhythm of Vergil, the Phormio was a revelation. The play abounds in entangling situations and clever wit Perhaps the most novel feature of the play was the masks which were reproduced from the drawing in the Vatican manu- script. The proceeds went to the Gcntry-Parrish Memorial Fund. It is the hope of Mr. Noyer and Miss Green to give one ancient classic each year, the proceeds of which will go to this fund. The cast of characters in the play was as follows: I )ka.matis Personab Prologus..................... ........................... Davos, a slave...........................................

In the first year the ground covered is mainly technical. Then the work becomes really interesting. Novels are read, and in the fourth and fifth year the time is taken up with the dramas of Schiller and Wagner. German is taught in the Practice School, beginning with the fourth grade. The children at this age are not taught grammar, but they learn the German names of objects and how to carry on simple conversation. There is a German Club which devotes most of its time to singing. German is a most delightful subject, and is a most wonderful language. Some of the literature is unexcelled. No one can have an intelligent appreciation of a literature until he has studied the language in which it is written. Therefore, if you would apprec- iate the masterpieces of German literature study German. £cfjocs from tfjc German Rooms Herr: Heyd: “Zu welcher Zeit sehmeeken «lie Kirschen am boston?

It is difficult for one to concentrate his mind on the contents of printed pages when such a volume of nature lies open lx fore him. Laying down the book which for some moments I had been forcing myself to read. 1 arose and breathed deeply down into my very soul Nature’s precious gift, and strolled down through the orchard. During the past two years I had Ixten away to college in the congested city The old farm seemed altogether different to me now. Practically all of the twenty years that I had labored and perspired here had been a drudgery This was especially true the last three or four years prior to my leaving for college. 1 saw nothing about the farm but work, work, work From early morning until lateat night I was compelled to work in drudgery The morning chores had to be done before the daily farm work was begun, and then there was the evening choring to finish up It was usually rather late before I had an opportunity to retire. If I enjoyed myself with other young people, it meant that I had a day’s work before me without sleep. My naps were short enough at best, although I slept soundly from the time I landed in bed until I was awakened bv what I pleased to term the harsh voice of my father; Well, John, it is time for you to roll out of there and milk the cows”, or, “Crawl out of there and get the team ready We want to get the oats cut today”. These calls came at such an early hour that one might suppose that the cows and oats were wild and had to be slipped up on. There were many other things to add to my discomfort on the farm. Over on one side of tin farm there was a bunch of swine that had to be fed every night and morning and the noisy grunt and squeal is about all that I got out of my association with them, except hard work On another secluded spot of the farm there was a herd of lowly cows that seemed to enjoy eating Then there were the bleating sheep, the braying mules, the neighing horses- -all to l� e looked after From morning till night I heard these annoying sounds, and a big part of the night, as well, and I had become so disgusted with them all that I longed for the time to come when animals would go out of date. 1 presume my state of mind was due to the untimely hour at which 1 did the caring for them. While away from the old homestead I got many new and useful ideas relating to country life. As Agriculture was one of the principal studies in college I studied it to keep in harmony with the surroundings. 1 began to find many faults with the teaching right from the beginning The Statement that I had so often heard, Hook learning is not practical”, came back to me as a real fact. They taught that it was foolish to plant potatoes “in the moon”, and it was just as foolish to kill the hogs in the moon” When my father had practiced this successfully all of his life I knew that it was all right Such 134 expressions did not suit my taste ot all, lml I had to listen to them. As time went on, however. I began to sympathize with the teacher’s ideas, and finally became convinced that the old theory was theory indeed By experiment. I learned that a balance of ration, fed regularly, produces better results and is more economical than the old haphazard method of feeding. 1 also learned that by proper farm management, one can do the same amount of choring in one hour that ordinarily takes three or four hours Before many months I became interested in stock feeding and really longed for the time when 1 should return to the dear old farm to help revolutionize it. The grunt and squeal of the hogs, the lowing of the cattle, the neighing of the horses, and the bleating of the sheep had come to mean more to me than mere annoying sounds. I had learned to understand them. Instead of the dreadful noise, their sounds had become music. “The horses neigh a song as they roam, The hogs ask for their corn and rye. The cows moan their home sweet home, And the sheep bleat a lullaby”. With such understanding of the animal language as well as the fki'it language. I was enabled better to appreciate the conversation that 1 was soon to overhear. Before going far into the orchard, 1 heard a peculiar sound. Looking in the direction from which the sound was coming, I espied “old Pete”, one of our faithful old mules, gazing into a tree. I knew, however, that it was not “old Pete's voice that I heard. My curiosity was aroused immediately When 1 drew near the tree, I was greatly shocked at the sight before me. There, in the tree was a rather insignificant looking red apple standing on a suitable platform lecturing to “old Pete”, with the greatest oratorical display. The enunciation was very clear. Judging by the way the apple was perspiring, I presume they had been arguing and debating for some time. “Pete”, too, seemed to be wet behind the ears, as if he had had the floor. On account of mv missing the first part of the argument. 1 could not get the gist of the heated discussion for a few moments. “Yes, sir , said the apple, “ 1 have done just as much to make this world happy and enjoyable as you have. It was 1 who gave the dear old state its name, ‘Missouri, the land of the big red apple’. ” You have not lived up to it ”, put in the mule “ You are out of order, Mr. Mule , shouted the chairman 1 was not expecting this third party to appear on the scene, and for a moment was puzzled Upon looking at the ground between the two contestants, I saw Mr. Soil reared back on his dignity, with his books of law before him “I did not stop with naming the State”, continued the apple, “1 am both a comfort and a blessing to all who will allow my service. ” “I am used by practically every family in this State. Some, I admit, do not, But it is their misfortune, and probably due to the selfishness of those who have me in charge I should save much suffering if I were only given the opportunity. Those whom 1 have helped continue to seek my aid. Many have 1 brought back to health and happiness, both in this state and many others. 1 go to nearly all of the eastern states and big cities, and my brothers and sisters in all of the other states. Every year I cross the Atlantic to bring joy and happiness to the king of England. Do you suppose the king would 135 choose me from the large collection he has to pick from if 1 were not superior? Xo, indeed!” “Two minutes more , shouted Mr. Soil as he pounded on a rail with a huge rock. I am a promoter of agriculture”, continued Mr Apple. “You may find many articles about me in farm journals, newspapers, bulletins and reading courses. The gov- ernment knows of my usefulness and is endeavoring in every reasonable way to get humanity to use me more, and in a scientific manner. 1 sell many farms in this state. Some of them are given to my use exclusively Others are partially stocked with poul- try. livestock or given to general agriculture, but 1 am responsible for the sale, and us- ually retain a share in the crop Mr Soil reached over and took hold of the rock as he eyed the clock of time. “I must hasten , said the apple “You can plainly see my importance People are made merry with my healthy drink, with my fruit, and satisfied with me as a table food What more could one ask for?” •’Your time is up yelled Mr. Soil. ‘‘Now, Mr. Mule, you may have ten minutes for your speech After taking the floor and receiving proper recognition, Mr. Mule proceeded. “ I have been the pride of the state for years There? is no place in the world where you can see any of my kind that will equal me in quantity or quality. I, too. have blessed tin world I till the soil, sow the grain and harvest the grain. I also haul it to the barn for storage, haul it to market and bring the machinery and other farm equipment back. How could the farmer possibly get along without me? If no grain were planted and har- vested the people would soon starve to death. What would become of you then Mr Apple? In order to supply the food needed for the existence of humanity, there must be much grain raised. To harvest the big crop there must lx machinery. Who would pull this machinery if I did not? Or who would even bring it from the town? “The auto truck , said the apple, “that is what I usually ride in Silence!” shouted the judge, you have had your turn . The auto truck , laughed Mr Mule “I pulled three of them out of the mud last week Xo sir! 1 am not going to be laid on the shelf or placed in a museum as soon as some have predicted I am bound to live and thrive I am not restricted to Mis- souri When any one from any state in the union, or in the world, for that matter- wants a magnificent specimen he comes after me. 1 have gone into the state of Texas so fast that it claimed to rank first in the union four years ago. That was the only solu- tion for Texas tho; if she wanted to be first in mules, she must take me down there. I. too, have crossed the Atlantic . Again the sound of Mr Soil's voice rang out as he pounded the rail, “Two minutes”. I am the pride of the general in the army”, continued the mule “None of my kind have been in demand as I have. I am a great benefit to humanity socially, indus- trially and financially I sell for a large sum of money, yet the buyer is ! etter ofl than the seller Again Mr Soil laid his hand on his mallet If I sustain life and make prosperity. 1 think there is no question about me being the most useful to mankind” Your time is tip” shouted the soil as he gave an unusually hard rap on the rail You both have made good arguments, hut you have omitted many things that should have been mentioned. Ibis was probably due to lark of time I can clearly see how 13« humanity would suffer if the grains were not harvested, but there are other useful and active animals besides the mule. In like manner 1 can conceive of many being discom- forted without the apple, but there are other useful fruits. As to which of you has the most important position I shall not undertake to announce. My advice to each of you is to go on your way helping mankind as you have in the past. You should help one another also. Mr. Mule can help Mr. Apple by cultivating mk around the tree Mr Apple will then grow much larger, consequently lie will be in much better condition to make humanity merry, and in return Mr. Mule will receive better treatment from man- kind. Neither of you can exist without my aid, and I am likewise under authority. We all should praise God for our existence, and be not content with anything less than our very best efforts to reward Him”. The stone then crawled under the fence to form the usual pillow Tin soil settled to its usual position, the apple returned to its customary place of lodging and “old Pete walked peacefully down the fence and began eating grass as if nothing had happened. I then turned toward the house still marveling over my recent experience, but re- joicing because I had learned the language of Nature. 1 saw its beauty as never before. Surely God intended that man should live close to Nature. I immediately decided to spend the rest of my days on the farm with nature, and practice agriculture in the real sense.

The college has its fluent speakers and intelligent writers, but in the class-room there is one person to whom no praise has been given I refer to the silver-tongued member who has discovered that lu has a remarkable talent for reading his recitation from his note book Never a word have 1 heard in praise of his skill Some critics, who may be designated as pessimists, go so far as to see him in the guise of a cripple, leaning upon the note book as one would upon a crutch to maintain his balance, when they say. all he needs is a little will power to stand alone. The critic argues. “ If the recitation is to be read, why not have each mem- ber of the class read it for himself, and thus save the time that is taken up in class by the reading? ” Away with such scoffers! I.et us see the bright side. For example: The student’s name is called. He rises gracefully, scurries through half of the note book, and at last finds the place.

December 10, the students of the Kirksvillc State Normal School formed a student organization accord- ing to the plan of a constitution which they had adopted in the early part of tin- meeting A Student Council and a Senate were established, and a number of officers were elected. Of these, Mr. D. Iv Neale was elected President , Miss Phradie Wells, Secretary, and Mr Loo Petree, Treasurer. At a former meeting a set of resolutions, drafted by a committee composed of Messrs. Peltz. Wright and Neale, had been adopted. These resolutions sot forth a plan for the preparation of a constitution, under which it was proposed that a student organization be formed 'Phis plan met the general approval of the students, and it was almost unani- mously accepted. An organization, the like of winch has never been known in this school before, was the result. As adopted, the constitution of this organization provides for a Student Countil, and :i Senate. The Council is to be composed of all resident students doing regular class work. The Senate is to be composed of the Presidents of the organized classes, the leaders of the various school activities, the ICditor in liief of the Index, and representa- tives from all organizations which the Senate, shall recognize. Provisions were also made in the constitution for the qualification and duties of the officers, for the duties and powers of both Council and Senate, and for amendments which may he necessary from time to time. While the organization bears the hearty approval of the administration it is of im- portance to note that the movement is of student initiative It has been planned and introduced by students, lias been organized and accepted by the students absolutely of their own free will, and is. for all time to come, distinctly a student organization, the extensive plan of which is seldom attempted by undergraduate students. In its work the organization has never attempted anything bordering on the spec- tacular It has worked quietly and effectively, and by its careful attention to business has proved its ability to fulfil the purpose for which it was brought into existence. The students of the Kirksville State Normal School are to be congratulated upon the earnestness with which they have begun this timely enterprise, and upon the zeal with which they are attempting the solution of their own problems. 1M Piiradik We1.1.8, Secretary Tbk Student Senatk W .

The M C cr('dit for getting it started belongs to Mrs Mary McCool Tinker of the I class of 1907. who was pursuing at that time what was called graduate work in this school For some time she had felt the need of the school having some sort of a paper that would be an organ of student Sentiment and expression. For nearly ten years prior to that time there had been no student paper in the school, the Normal Message, a monthly magazine, having suspended publication in April, 1900, after six years of existence. After failing to get her fellow students to join her in an effort to get a student paper under way. she submitted her ideas to several members of the senior class and two members of the faculty. Through their cooperation the Index was duly established and the first issue appeared on March 19. 1909 The manner in which the Index has been conducted from year to year has been creditable to the editorial staffs and the business managements that have had charge of it, and its influence has been very beneficial to the school as a whole The present Editor in Chief, Mr Meals, and his associates have been especially successful in their work this year. I'nder their direction the Index hasuttuiued a new order of excellence that reflects great credit upon them. 107 Clje tuUeptng Class of 1015 Ol'HIXO tin summer quarter of each year a course in surveying is offered This course has many desirable features not to be found in any other course offered in our curriculum The opportunities for field tiips and out-of-door life at the time of the year when Nature’s call is strongest make this course different from all other courses. The opportunity for originality and hard work as offered by this course is equalled or excelled by that offered in few other courses. While this is true of the three hours spent in the field each day and of the one hour spent in the class-room work, the mind of a designing nature is given full range in the drafting room. The following are the few who had the rare opportunity of enjoying this course, with its pleasures and trials, during the summer of 1915; Mr. William 11 Zeigcl, A M .

Read the facts and see why: Out of 1700 students enrold in 1914-15, more than 1000 were teaching in September, 1915. The Elementary (’lass, covering one year above high school, numberd 48 men and 12C women. Of these, 119 are now teaching at salaries averaging nearly 8500.00. Many hold superin tendencies and high school positions, while 87 teach in rural and village schools. The 60-llour ('lass, covering two years above high school, numberd 48. Of these, 3G are teaching at salaries averag- ing $534.00. The 90-1 lour ( lass, covering three years above high school, numberd 25 men and 37 women. Of these, 45 arc teaching at average salaries of $707.00. Fifteen hold super- intendencies; twenty-two are in high schools; one, in a county superintendency; seven, in rural schools. Best of all was the 120-IIour ('lass, numbering 14 men and 15 women. The men have salaries averaging $963.00; the women, $736.00. The class averaged 30 months in high school studies and 36 months in studies of college grade. Seven members of this class hold super in tendencies; ten arc in high school positions; one, in an elementary school; four, in Normal Schools; while several pursue graduate studies. It ought, therefore, to be pretty clear why it is best to attend the “Old Reliable School at Kirksvillc, bear its stamp and have its endorsement. For Bulletins, address JOHN R.
