Carter supervision and teaching of Miss Clara V. Carter of Western New York was added to the physical training department in the fall of 1005. She received her early education in the country school and later graduated from the High School in the city of Buffalo. After attending the Buffalo Normal School from which she graduated, she then taught in the public schools of New York State. Her gymnastic training commenced in the high school, under efficient teachers and thinking to fit herself as a physical training teacher took the course at the Chautauqua Summer School and graduated in the summer of 1901, then went directly to New Haven, Conn, and graduated from the New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics in 1902. A good position in the V. W. C. A., at Topeka, Kansas, was offered to Miss Carter, which she accepted and had charge of the gymnasium for a year, after which she became a student in the Kansas Medical College for two years. There being a vacancy in the physical training department at Normal. Miss Carter gave up her work to fill the position and teaches Anatomy and Hygiene, and also shares in the all the practical work including swimming and athletics. Thomas W. Todd. Ph. D. was horn in New' Brunswick, Canada, thorough elementary education in the public schools of his native province. Graduating from the Normal School he received a life certificate, ished the A. li. course in Acadia Col- lege. Nova Scotia. Special work with Dr. H. N. Shaw of Toronto, Anna Baright Curry of Boston, and in the school of Expres- sion. in the latter city together with graduate work in English and Ex- pression. at the University of Chicago, and courses in Philosophy and Sociol- ogy, at Ewing College completed hi work of preparation. Dr. Todd now was called to the Professorship in English and Public Speaking at Shurtlcff College, Alton. 111. Then followed work in the Min- istry until the call to the Principalship of the Nora Springs Seminary. In a short time an invitation to bee me President of Cedar Valley Seminary, Osage, la. was extended and accepted. From thi position Dr. Todd was called to be Professor of Oratory in this institution. In his class room he has shown himself to be a strong teacher, in his supervision of the men’s literary societies a wise and tactful ad- ministrator. in his services to the Nor- mal an untiring worker, in his relation- ship with the students a popular and cultured gentleman. As a speaker Dr. Todd is strong, practical and mag- netic. Through his influence the in- terest created by Prof. Eaman is being strengthened, and much practical and helpful instruction is being given in public speaking and debating. He received a Then he fin- Thomas W. Todd Hf.rtha .Martin It is the purpose of the teachers in The Public Speaking Course to give to the student a course which is a full equivalent of the courses found in the best schools of expression. The fine advan- tages to be secured at Normal, in English and Physical Training, together with the efficient and co-operative efforts of the depart- ment teachers, make this purpose possible. On finishing the Reading and Public Speaking course the student should be able to teach the work in any High School or wherever it may he demanded and to read acceptably to the public. In June 1905 Miss Pierce, who for nine years was at the head of the Elocution department, resigned. Miss Bertha Martin of Chicago, succeeded her. Miss Martin is a graduate and post-graduate of the “Chicago Columbian College of Expression.” For the past thirteen years she has been senior teacher in that institution. Owing to the location of this school, Miss Martin has had the opportunity of hearing and studying the best that the world could offer in dramatic and operatic expression. She thus brings to her work a broad exper- ience and a cultured mind. Normal is indeed fortunate to secure the services of so rare and fine a teacher. Miss Lulu Bourquin, the new assistant in the Piano depart- ment. was formerly a student at Normal, finishing the Piano Course in 1901. After this, she studied for considerable time in Chicago, with William H. Sherwood, who is considered the greatest Amer- ican pianist of to-day. Miss Bourquin is a pianist of very interesting attainments. She has personality. Her technic is smooth, graceful and sure — full of vitality and color, while her taste is distinctly refined. We have heard Miss Bourquin in Moszkowski’s Waltz in E and in Chopin's Polonaise and Waltz in A-flat. Her selections were charmingly and artistically given, in all of which she showed her- self to be a musician of marked temperament. There is something in her playing that at once rivets the at- tention of the hearer. As a teacher Miss Bourquin has gained a large degree of success, as is shown hy the demand for her time. Li i.v BovRQt'iN Thirteen Katharine Ewkrtsen Gray assured of continued strong work Mrs. Katharine Ewertsen Gray is descended from an aris- tocratic and musical German family. Her early education in music was received from her father and at the Iowa State Normal School. When but in her teens she entered the North- western Conservatory of Music at Minneapolis, completing the course in Piano and Harmony under the immediate supervision of Walter Pctzet. While pursuing special literary studies at the University of Minnesota, she began voice culture with Pro- fessor D. F. Colville. This she continued for three years under Mrs. Vina Avery Smith, a favorite pupil of William Shakcs- pere. Then the charm and mystery of European study asserted its force and Mrs. Gray went to Berlin and studied with the famous soprano. l,ili Lehmann. While in Germany, she was heard in concert with Musik - Corps des Fits Regts. Konigin in Flensburg, with “Finck's Symphony Orchestra” and in other musical organizations in the large cities. Returning to St. Paul she opened a studio and began a brilliant career as a teacher. As chorister and leading soprano Mrs. Gray was much sought after and was fortunate enough to occupy some of the best church positions in the city of her adoption. Failing health compelled her to give up her work. Return- ing to Iowa she was discovered, after some months of rest, by the trustees of Cedar Valley Seminary and engaged to take charge of the work in Vocal Music. Here she was very success- ful and was chosen on the merits of her achievements to fill her present position. Coming to our institution as a stranger, her success has been phenomenal. Quiet and unassuming in manner, hut charming in her personality Mrs. Gray has drawn students to her until it has become necessary for pupils to put their names on a waiting list in order to secure a place on her program. Wherever she has appeared the press and best critics have pronounced her as the possessor of a voice of great range, musi- cal brilliancy, sweetness and volume and an artist of rare ability. Being now a regular member of the faculty, the Normal is in voice culture and vocal music. Professor C. H. Bailey entered this institution as Manual Training Director, September 1905. Mr. Bailey is a man of exten- sive knowledge and experience, being a graduate of the University at Iowa City and also of Columbia University and Teachers’ College, which granted him the degree of B. S. lie has had many years of experience and was director of Manual Training in the James Millikin University previous to his arrival here. The institution was very fortunate in securing him and he has spared no pains in his efforts to make the department of Manual Training the very best possible for a Normal School to have. And with the splendid co-operation of the other departments his success in making manual training accomplish its real purpose is insured. C. II. Bailey Fourteen E. J. Caiu.k Mr. Cable, the new member of the department of physiography, an Iowa man, his home being near Eldora. He received his public school education in Hubbard High School, graduating in 1894. After graduation he entered Cornell College. Two years later he began teaching in the Hubbard schools. In 189s he went back to Cornell and received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1900. After graduation Mr. Cable went to Albia, where he succeeded in building up a very' successful township High School. In 1903 he entered Chicago University. While there he made Geography his major and Geology and Chemistry his minors. In 1904 he received the Master of Science degree. During the summer of 1905 he was Assistant State Geologist of Indiana. Mr. Cable comes to us exceptionally well ciualified for his work. He knows the needs of the Iowa teachers from his work in the public schools. While in Chicago, he did a great deal of field work, a branch of physiography, which is coming to be rccogni2cd as of fundamental importance. His connection with the Indiana Survey has also given him much practical work in this line. Miss Clara Louise Cresscy was born in I)es Moines. Since graduating from the High School she has studied at the Cook County Normal, Chicago, (Col. Francis E. Parker) preparing for primary' work and later at the New England Conservatory, Boston, in preparation for the teaching of music. Miss Crcssey is a pupil oi Louis C. Elson, Benjamin Cutter, Calvin Cady, and Luisc Leimcr, Boston, of Mrs. Jessie L. Gaynor. Chicago, and of Mrs. Etta Estey-Boyce, pupils of Henschel, Sioux Falls. Miss Cresscy taught for several years in the first primary- grade, Central building, Sioux Falls; in 1902 she became supervisor of music of that city; and last September commenced her work as a member of the faculty of our school. Here, besides teaching sight-singing, methods in public school music, and musical form, she has charge of the three women’s glee clubs, and of the music in the primary grades of the training school. She is an experienced organist and director of church music, and at present has charge of the music ir. the First Baptist Church, Cedar Falls, of which she is an active member. Miss Cressey is not merely a music teacher. She is in full sympathy with all the interests of the Normal School, and by her genial spirit and high ideals she has brought into her work here an influence that is invaluable. Fifteen Previous to 1901 Physical Training was unorganized, classes were offered by some of the faculty whose real work was in other departments, especially elocution. Prof. Affleck was engaged to begin work in the fall of 1901, and Miss Sattertlnvaite was released from other work to devote her entire time to Physical Training. The first problem which confronted Prof. Affleck was the organization of classes and gradation of exercises, and the pre- paration of students as leaders. Through such able management interest so grew that the classes overcrowded the available space and a new gymnasium became imperative, and after much deliber- ation. planning and inspecting by President Seerley. the present adequate quarters were erected and equipped. Associates, exper- ienced and trained were selected, and a certain amount of work under this department required of every student. Thus the Normal stands to-day first of all schools in the state in organized and directed physical training, with a daily attendance in classes of over 800 students. Prof. Affleck's plan has been to avoid specialization and he has included practically every phase of formal and informal training, which contributes to the education and health of the students and prepares for intelligent direction of such work in the schools. Just as we are beginning to fully realize the value of such a man as Prof. Affleck, another position far better than we can give is offered him. It is one of unusual responsibility, involving direction of the physical examination of more men than any other similar organization in the United States, there being over 3000 different men in the gymnasium each week. There arc five paid assistants and forty volunteer leaders. The work of Prof. Affleck will be mainly the organizing of these forces and the bringing of the work to a scientific basis. In addition he will devote two hours per day to Normal teaching in the Institute where there are about 50 young men taking special courses leading to the qualifications for physical directors. We are sorry indeed to lose Prof. Affleck from our faculty, but are proud of the record he has made for us. and glad to see him elected to such a responsible position as the one in Chicago. G. B. ffi.eck Mr. Robert Fullerton’s first connection with this institution was as a student. lie graduated from the four year’s course in 1895. During Mr. Fullerton's senior year he assisted in the music depart- ment, teaching a class in sight reading and directing choir. The following year his entire time was given to the work, the regular course in music being extended and new features added such as Choral Society, more glee clubs, etc. In the fall of 1897. Prof. Fullerton went to Obcrlin Conser- vatory on a year’s leave of absence, his brother Mr. C. A. Fullerton taking his place. During the year he decided to resign his position in the Normal, and after spending two years at Obcrlin, went to New York City. The next two years were spent with James San- vage of N. Y. and Albin Reed of Boston. While he was at Obcrlin he was tenor soloist of the 2nd Con- gregational Church Choir and director of the College Glee Club, atid during the summer of 1898 gave more than 30 song recitals. In 1900 he was married to Miss Ella Waters of the class of 1895 (I. S. N. S.). In the fall of 1901 he again returned to the Normal as instructor in voice, teacher of harmony, and history of music, and also conductor of Cadies’ Glee Clubs. Last year he obtained a year’s leave of absence to go to Chicago for further study. We are sorry on our part, though glad for his, that he has found his work there more congenial than with us. In the Groff-Bryant Institute with which he is associated. Prof. Fullerton is teaching voice, harmony and musical history, besides choir and concert work — thus what is our loss is that Institution’s gain. Robert Flij.erton Sixteen e UR ALMA MATER sits enthroned Above the river town; The coming years will e’er increase The glory of her crown. She floats the gold so rich and pure, The purple queenly still, While many a heart looks up to her The Normal on the hill. Each year new voices swell her praise; Alumni to the field have gone - The Junior takes the Senior’s place And still the song goes on. As long as Iowa shall hold Her record as of old The I. S. N.

Hick ford Sixty-Ono (Ehi? Ahtmtirrh (Training 8 rluml (ftrurral ihtrpnsrs uf (Training $rhmil The chief aim in an educational system is to lead undeveloped beings into useful and effective maturity. A training school is doubly useful in this respect. In the first place it offers excellent advantages for pupils. The organization, management, method of teaching, course of instruction, and spirit arc all most carefully considered so that the teachers coming in c.ontact with the school in getting their training shall have the best of ideals impressed upon them by this contact. With the careful supervision given the work for this purp'osc and the additional on« of making the school something of a model for the shaping of the larger work of the public school, it i very reasonable to argue that pupils do not suffer under such a system. Progress and improvement is the motive always at the front and teachers and pupils can not help being lettered thereby. (Tlfr (Cnuritr of itt thr (Training fyrlinol bor some time the course of study has been receiving especial attention here. A number of modifications have been in operation long enough to show that good results have come from those modifications. By the introduction and proper organization of history stories in the lower and middle grammar grades, it is found that not only is the life and interests of the child quickened, but the ordinary eighth grade history is completed in better manner and in much less time than is commonly the case. Pupils having the course in general history stories, dealing with the great events of the world's history and a course in elementary United States history through biography, complete the United Static history in the eighth grade in one-half to two-thirds the time usually required for a comprehension of the subject. The influence does not stop there, but is seen in marked degree when the general history of tire high school is taken up. Two roads are open in this case, one i- to complete the general history in less time, the other to give it a more extensive treatment in the time ordinarily required for getting a mere outline of the subject. Interest is stimulated in language and fresh materials furnished for its cultivation by the introduction of German in the seventh grade. This is presented in a manner suitable to children of that age and it is proving an excellent means of development in the pupil as to his general intellectual growth as well as to his special language powers. In the following grade an opportunity is offered for Latin for those desiring it, the decision being jointly made by pupil, parent, and teacher. This has been in vogue for about ten years and has shown decided advantages for the pupils mentally strong enough to carry the work and with will enough to apply themselves to a task that requires careful study. Pupils doing standard work accomplish two years of German and two years of Latin before entering the Normal. In addition it is noticeable that pupils doing the German and Latin work arc almost without exception far superior as English students in composition and literature. Nature study and the recognition of conditions and the laws at work about us, arc given attention. From this a useful and useable fund of knowledge is accumulated, but that is of less consequence, even than the growth and training of the child thus afforded. It has been found that these experiences may be gathered up in the eighth grade under the general term of physics. Here experiences are classified and the language necessary to holding them in mind, is given. Not much new matter is presented but earlier impressions are made clear and properly related and named. Animals, plants, the unharnessed forces of nature and those applied to industries are thus made to have meaning in this nature work through the grades. Later a systematic year's work in physics is given. Elementary algebra and concrete geometry enlarge and increase the interest in the eighth grade a part of the year. Properly presented, these do not neglect the arithmetical training of the pupil, but simply enlarge it. Front these lie afterward gets a year of algebra and an additional year of geometry before entering the Normal. Want of space prevents anything more than an enumeration of the drawing, music, manual training, physical culture, «he excellent library facilities, hiptfi grade entertainments, and the like, constantly at the hand of the pupil in such a school. That such opportunities are different from those of the old school is true, that they are better for the pupil, it is now too late to deny. In connection with the grammar school the preparatory school should be mentioned. This department offers an excellent opportunity for a course in the common branches to those who have not the time to take a more extended course, and it is well qualified to prepare the earnest student in the mastery of the academic side of the teacher’s second grade certificate. To these pupils the library, physical culture, some forms of manual training, are open. The outlook in this department, as in other departments of the school, was never brighter. Bv Wilbur H. Bender. Sixty-Two Slid .Id TOO! OS OXINIVMX .•!() «tnoxi Sixty-Three Sixty-Four ®Iu primani Hrpartmtttf The Primary Department, as organized, includes the first three grades, or pupils whoso ages range from five or six to nine or ten years'. These grades correspond to those of the public schools throughout the State. The pupils come from the homes in the vicinity of the Normal School; some coming from the city district of Cedar Falls and some from the country district adjoining. The tuition is free to these pupils, contracts being made by both of these school districts with the Trustees of the Normal School for this instruction. The three grades arc subdivided into groups or classes, thus affording opportunity for individual instruction and advancement. The department is in charge of a Supervisor, assisted by a critic teacher and a special teacher of music. The supervisor and critic give their attention to the administration of the school, to the supervision of the student teachers in their daily teaching of classes and to the teaching of the pupils whenever it is desirable or necessary. Each student teacher teaches an hour each day for the year in the different gra ics. These students arc specializing in this course because of their natural fitness for this kind of work. Miss Clara Cressey of the Musical faculty has charge of the instruction in music, giving about one hour daily to this work. (Outline nf Work for (One $rar The theory of concentration is followed in the three primary grades. The lessons in the following outline arc the center, the thought content, the impulse, for that portion of the day's program. They are chosen from Art. Literature, Nature. History. Daily Life.

These lessons are chosen because they appeal to the pupil as a necessity in his desire to learn of the world about him, in keeping alive his growing and widening interests, and in increasing his experiences and interpreting concepts. They enable the pupils to enter more fully into complete life by affording opportunities for self-discovery and self realization. They are used with the theory that the material of instruction must always control the mastery of the formal subjects—reading, writing, spelling, etc. The mastery of these formal subjects is invaluable, yet it is not the end of the daily instruction. To make it such dwarfs and deadens the pupil’s interest and powers. The mastery of the formal subjects should come from efforts put forth to learn of those things bearing directly upon the pupil's life and growing out of his needs and interests. All Modes of Expression are used, as, Modeling, Painting, Drawing, Dramatizing, Making, Singing, etc. The following resolution of the National Educational Association, 1903, expresses the ultimate aim of the work. “The Association regrets the revival in some quarters of the idea that the common school is a place for teaching nothing but reading, spelling, writing, and ciphering; and takes this occasion to declare that the ultimate object of popular education is to teach the children how to live righteously, healthily and happily, and that to accomplish this object it is essential that every school inculcate the love of truth, justice, purity, and beauty through the study of biography, history, ethics, natural history, music, drawing and manual arts.” By Etta Si plee.

S. N. S. in 1904. The work of the department is twofold — the training of teacher and the training of little children. ($ljp eratiumj � f $radtrrii The aim of this line of work is to qualify efficient teachers for public and private kindergartens, where superior skill and scholarship are required. The course comprises the three main requisites of a woman's education. It gives to the student a broad liberal culture, a technical training for a practical vocation and fits woman for her highest destiny the training of little children. The curriculum covers two years time and comprises two classes of studies—the professional or those that develop technical skill in kindergarten work and the culture tuciie . or those that broaden the mind and give psychological insight. 5 ljr GJrauiitut of £ittlr (Chilbrru The Normal School Kindergarten is one of the happiest and merriest places in the State of Iowa. Here each day gathers a group of little children for work and play. It is indeed a “childgarden.” It is found that a child trained in kindergarten gains from one to two years in completing the school course, over a child not trained this way. This cannot help but be true as the child enters the primary alert, wide awake and ready to take hold of his work. iKitibrriiartrii (Club The teachers and students of this Department have organized a society which is known as the “Kindergarten Club.” The club is now a part of the International Kindergarten Union. It meets monthly and is the source of much pleasure. By Harriette E. Gunn. Sixty-Six THE KINDERGARTEN. Sixty-Seren (Mir Department of manual (Training The purpose of this department is to prepare teachers and directors of manual training and all of its courses arc planned and conducted with this aim in view. Special diplomas are granted which exact the same high standards of scholarship that are obtained in the require- ments for the regular diplomas, but give recognition to the special training which these courses involve. These special diplomas, Director of Manual Training and Teacher of .Manual Training, are equivalent in standing to the regular diplomas and require respectively three years' and two years’ work beyond a regular high-school course. Technical instruction is given in all forms of handwork which are suitable for intro- duction into the public schools, special attention being given to those that can be used in the lower grades, in the regular grade room, without expensive equipment or costly materials. In addition to this technical instruction, thorough courses are given in the history, theory and pedagogy of manual training, and a careful study made of the important problems of organization and administration of this work. The technical courses include Bench Work, Wood Turning, Mechanical Drawing, and Handicrafts for Elementary Grades. Comprehensive and sufficient equipments of high grade are provided for carrying on this work. All materials used are paid for by the students and the product belongs to the workman. The course in bench work is designed to give the student knowledge and skill sufficient to prepare him to teach this kind of work in grammar grades and high schools. It begins with the simplest application and use of woodworking tools in the making of simple articles, and extends into difficult cabinet making. All problems and exercises arc applied in useful articles. The work in wood turning is intended as a preparation for teaching this work in high schools and involves a study of the lathe, the use of lathe tools, methods of holding, chucking, finishing, etc. The course in mechanical drawing is intended to give a knowledge of this work sufficient to enable the student to make and read such working drawings as he may use in manual-training work, and as a preparation for teaching this work in high schools. The handicrafts for elementary grades embraces work in paper cutting, cardboard, sewing, weaving, raffia, basketry, whittling, bookbinding, toqling and embossing leather, etc. It is designed as a preparation for teaching this work in the elementary grades. The popularity of the work in this department is evidenced by the number of students taking it, over two hundred being enrolled in the winter term. About fifteen are taking the full course leading to the special diplomas. Even members of the faculty enroll as students that they may take advantage of the privileges of this work. At the end of each term a public exhibit of the work of the department is made. A large number of people who have visited these displays, have expressed much interest in the things that have been accomplished and an appreciation of the skill and ability of the students as shown in their handiwork. About 6000 different articles were on exhibition at the end of the winter term, representing one term’s work in these classes. On the following pages are some pictures of the department’s work. By C.

SECTION OF TURNING ROOM (The Dmm'iitir brinin' Department In the fall of 1904. a department of Domestic Science was established in the Iowa State Normal School, and two courses of study were adopted to prepare teachers for giving instruction in domestic subjects. One of these courses is based upon the Regular Course provided for those who enter on county certificates, and the other is based upon the course provided for high school graduates. In both of these courses the State constants are required, and no optional studies are offered, subjects pertaining to the economy of the home taking the place of all electives. Twenty-four term credits in domestic branches are comprised in the course, as arranged for regular students, and twenty-two, in the course for high-school graduates. Degrees arc not conferred upon graduates whose electives are all along domestic lines, but the diplomas granted them represent equal attainments to those granted in the other courses of the school. Students who complete the Domestic Science Course are prepared to serve as teachers or directors of domestic work in public schools or other institutions. In addition to the State constants, the subjects comprised in this course arc as follows:—inorganic chemistry, three terms; organic chemistry, two terms; sewing, six terms; cooking, six terms; food materials, advanced physiology, biology, household bacteriology, elementary manual training, and house- hold management, each one term. Besides these branches, students are earnestly requested to take a year's work in geometry, and two terms in mechanical drawing, although these subjects cannot be set down as requirements owing to the time limits. It is the aim of the department to emphasize the value of culture in addition to technical skill, and students aic encouraged to obtain as much general knowledge as possible. Students in this course have one year’s practice in teaching, this work comprising two terms practice-teaching in sewing, and one in cooking. The practice-classes in sewing arc from the Training School, but as cooking is not yet studied by the pupils of that school, students eligible to do practice-teaching in cooking, do this work with classes from the Normal School. The purpose of the State in opening this department was twofold,—(1) to make it possible for any student to elect domestic courses as a part of a general education; (2) to afford means of preparation for teaching the domestic arts and sciences in public schools. A constantly increasing number of students elect domestic subjects as a part of a general course of study, and the number of students enrolled this year for the Domestic Science course, while not large, is more than double the corresponding number for last year. In both sewing and cooking the work is divided into theory and practice, or into scientific and applied. Since cooking is elected by a considerable number who wish for practice in cooking only, the work is so arranged that it is possible to take practical cooking without making a study of the science involved. Students who do only the practical cooking for one term get a half credit. An equal amount of work devoted to the theory of cooking in additiou to the practice obtained in the kitchen entitles the student to a full credit. In first term cooking the practice is upon simple dishes, and all members of the class cook the same thing at the same time; in second term practice, each lesson consists of the preparation of a meal which is served to the class; in third term, the special work consists of practice in using one’s judgment and skill to prepare common foods without direct super- vision; the fourth term is devoted to jellies, preserves and pickles: the fifth, to French pastry and delicate cakes, and the sixth to ices and confections. In sewing, the work is divided into theoretical and practical. The former deals with methods of teaching sewing, and includes a study of the textiles; the latter is devoted to practice in construction. The first term's practice is given to hand work upon household sewing, sheets, towels, table linen, etc., white the second term is devoted to the domestic crafts, knitting, tatting, crocheting, darning and patching. In the third term, the practice is upon shirt waists and underwear; in the fourth, upon dresses of washable materials; in the fifth, upon wool dresses, and in the sixth upon embroidery and general fancy work. The department is having a healthy growth, and the outlook for the work is favorable. By Ai.ma L. McMahon. Seventy-Four COOKING CLASS AT WORK.

Benton, Bond, Churchill, Gilchrist, Hunt, Lichty, Phelps, Richardson. Scott and White, were such as to demand more training under careful and able supervision. This culminated in the foundation of the Philomathean Literary Society. A beautiful hall could not be procured, so these ten ardent students met in a dusty class room, where the following program was rendered in the dim light of kerosene lamps: Reading—L. S. Scott. Essay—L. E. Cm rchii.i.. Reading—J. S. White. Debate:—Resolved, that the ballot should be restricted to an edu- cational qualification. Affirmative—G. B. Phelps, R. O. Benton. Negative—W. A. Richardson, D. K. Bond. But things and custom have changed in a quarter of a century. Many plans have been formulated and perfected, which, if conceived then would have been considered impossible. Now the Philos have left the dusty class- room, with its smoky lamp flues, hard benches and cheerless walls. They have become a chartered society and are located in a beautiful hall in full partnership with their sisters, the Alphas. This independent spirit and in- domitable push for better things, characteristic of these societies, are account- able for their successful career in thcr past. Visitors will find “The latch string always hanging out for them,” where over the door can be seen ilhtlimtathrau 1876—Alplja 1877 On entering you will find an electrically lighted room, beautifully car- peted, fitted up with modern furniture, and walls tastily and most artistically decorated with colors pennants and medallions. The Philos attribute their success as a society to good, conscientious, hard “digging,” and many of the prominent men who were once affiliated with it, claim that between those four dingy walls, was the place where their hopes were strengthened and their aspirations became buoyant. Doc- tors, ministers, senators, musicians and scientists, began their career as Philo boys and are to-day filling their positions with credit to themselves and honor to the society. In baseball and track work, the Philo representation is large, hut the main effort is directed toward the development of that litehary ability and forensic talent for which the society was originally founded. This has been shown the past year by the choice of Jess Mantle and John Cherny to represent the Philos in the Ames-Normal debate; A. N. Wray and Thos. Conley, in the Iowa-Missouri debate; and John Cherny in the Inter-State oratorical contest, at Warrensburg, Missouri. John was ably assisted in his -Missouri “effort” by Miss Margaret Kelley, an Alpha of course, who was a very close contestant for first honors. That the boys arc not bookworms entirely, is shown by the maneuvers in which they sometimes participate, the most prominent of which this year was the Philo Banquet tendered their sister at the Logan House, in Waterloo. An elaborate eight course supper was served, followed by toasts from representatives of both societies. The Philomathean Society must succeed, for it is founded upon that which makes all true success possible. It has passed the stage of being hypocritical and has just enough defeats to fully enjoy victory. Seventy-Eight THE PHILOMA.THEAN SOCIETY—Founded 1877. The Philo Roll beginning at left of back row.

S. became known as such, a need was felt for organizations composed of men and women, for literary advancement. So it was, that in 1877, the Philo Society was organized and likewise the Alpha’s a few months later with seven charter members. t first the meetings were held on Saturday evenings, but later by an act of the faculty, it was changed to Friday afternoon, which day is still the one appointed. With the election of a president, trouble arose, and out of it resulted two divisions, the second one being the Shakespeareans, but Alpha still lived and prospered. At first a class room was the only meeting place, but later when South Hall was finished, an attic room was assigned to the Alphas. The furnishing of it caused a good deal of excitement, and many were the good times had up there. If the old closet, which was a necessary adjunct to the Alpha Hall, could talk, it might tell some very thrilling and interesting stories. Spreads were sometimes hidden in there, when footsteps were heard approaching. And what fun it was to creep along the rafters in the dark, just under the roof, over to the door of the ‘■Shake” hall and then get caught at it. What a hurrying and scurrying of feet there was then. The greatest triumph was accomplished, when the Shake’s mascot, — a weezened up little old monkey, was stolen, how — but few knew, and where, will anyone ever tell? Jt still remains a secret. In 1002, the main building was completed and the Alphas were given a new hall, beautifully furnished and far superior in every way to the old attic. That year the undergraduate pin was adopted, its design being a small Greek letter “A” within a circular band. Life ran along smoothly then, weekly programs were well prepared and well given, all of which meant hard work. But there were some merry times mixed with the hard work, and ‘‘Alpha spirit” as we so well know it. was shown in everything. Her initiations and banquets, which occur every fall, show the same marked characteristic. Among some of the events of the past year were the receptions, given to the Alphas and Philos, by their Alumni members and by the Philos to the Alphas, the joint program in which the little farce ‘‘Xmas Chimes” was given and which was such a success. Alpha has always stood first, as has been proven in the oratorical contests. In the preliminary given in the fall. Margaret Kelly won first place, and in the public preliminary, she won second. John Chcrney, a Philo brother, winning first place. It was a good thing the roof was securely fastened that night, for it was in danger of flying off with so much enthusi- asm. But June comes at last and with it graduation, and the happy days in Alpha Hall must come to an end. We know what each one can do while here, but who can say of future success, for who knows? And in years to come, we will look back with pleasant memories to the days spent at Normal and know that ‘‘No matter where she be Her pin is her degree And shows that she’s an A-l-p-h-a Girl.” THE ALPHA ROLL BEGINNING AT LEFT UPPER CORNER.

About seven years after the founding of the first girl’s literary society, a demand came for the organization of a second one. This demand was supplied by sixteen girls, who met in old Central Hall, and organized them- selves into a literary society, under the name of Shakespearean Circle. Since that time, they have gradually increased in membership and financial re- sources, until at the present time they have one of the finest halls among the societies. At the organization of the Aristotelian, they were adopted as our brothers and the two societies have always proved faithful to each other. As usual, our fall term opened with a joint initiation banquet. If the new girls favorably impressed the membership committee, they pleased the society more so when they rendered their first productions. Seniors listened with a mingled feeling of shame and admiration to the well selected and rendered readings, the interesting papers and the logical debates. Never before have new girls seemed to take hold of the work so well and seem to under- stand the requirements of good literary productions. Therefore the pro- grams each week have vied with the preceding ones. One of the most pleasant afternoons of this school year enjoyed by the Shakespcarcans was furnished by the honorary faculty members, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Gray and Miss Martin. The violin and cornet solos, by Mr. Fitzgerald, were of the highest quality. Mrs. Gray's voice was very sweet and charming, while Miss Martin held the close attention of the audience and was heartily encored. It is with the greatest feeling of regret we seniors bid farewell to the Shakespcarcans, and with our departure, we leave them our wishes for many more prosperous years.

Many wonderful things have happened during the time of the I. S N. S.. but one of the most important was the organization of the Cliosophic Society in 1886. Some very interesting things could be stated concerning this society, but we can give only a brief history. Other societies then met in the evening, but some of the girls living down-town, found it inconvenient to come out to the hill at night, so they started this society, which met on Friday afternoons and has continued to do so from that time on. This was the third society organized. At the present time the Cliosophic Society consists of forty two mem bers, each one proud of the other and all exceedingly proud of the society, each girl doing what she can to lift and keep the society on the highest level. Besides the literary work done regularly during the year, there ha- been many enjoyable social functions. The Clios together with their brothers, the Orios, have had many little social gatherings, one of the principal ones, being the joint initiation, which was held at the Roadman home, near Dyke. The two societies were delightfully entertained by the honorary members, at the home of Miss Wild. The banquet given by the Orios cannot be forgotten by any one who was present, as the entertainment was both unique and pleasing. In December we gave our regular biennial open-session, which was a Schiller Program, consisting of orations, music, a drill, and scenes from William Tell. We have told you something of our society and yet we have not told you half, many of our pleasant times are not at banquets, entertainments and regular meetings, but in the regular school life. We have always been a merry society and faithful to ourselves and to the school. All honor then to the members who have gone, the present members, and to those who shall succeed us. GIljp AnatuteHan nrirty The Aristotelian Society was first organized in 1886, hut existed only temporarily. It was revived for a brief period in 1887, but did not enjoy a permanent organization until Feb. 25th, 1889. On that date two able and enthusiastic Aristos, W. L. Vcatch and Bruce Francis, together with a few friends succeeded in securing the recognition of the Faculty and gave the society its permanent existence. As was quite fitting Mr. Veatch and Mr. Francis, who completed their course in 1890, have the honor of being the first graduates of the. society. Perhaps no other society experienced so many trials and adversities in its early history ; yet, true to the nature’s law. through these hardships it has grown, and to-day carries aloft the laurels which it has so nobly earned. The Aristo Society first met in room K, or what is now Mr. Begcman’s laboratory room; later, in what is now Miss Cressy’s room. But to-day it is located in an excellent hall in the new building. While the place of meeting has been changed from time to time, and the membership of the Society has changed many times, yet the purpose, to seek ever for intel- lectual, social and moral culture, has remained the same. Intellectual culture is secured: (1) by weekly programs that strength- en not only the participants, but all who are present; (2) by business meetings in which wit sharpens wit; (3) by inter-society contests in which the Aristo meets and measures skill and intellect with those of his brother and sister societies. In debate the Aristos are always heard from. They hold the record for the most points made in triangular, in any one year. In Inter-Collegiate debate they have been very successful, and this year have placed three men on these debate.;. The Aristos have won first place in two out of the four triangular oratorical contests that have been held. They have been repres- ented three times in the ten Inter-State oratorical contests and have twice been winners. The editorship of the Normal Eyte, the highest literary position in the school, has been held by Aristos six out of fourteen times. — This record is not surpassed by any other society. Among those who have been very successful, we are proud to name College professors, lawyers, doctors, and ministers scattered throughout the length and breadth of the United States, all proud of the fact that they arc Aristos. Social culture is gained by the members, as they mingle and enjoy many social functions with their Shakespearean Sisters throughout the year. The relations of the two societies arc close and cordial, supporting each other loyally in all Inter-Society contests. However, the greatest gain comes from the associations of men, with men, as they struggle together toward the same end, sharing each others hopes, joys and disap- pointments, forming firm and lasting friendships. The moral culture is derived from the principles of truth, honesty, and justice, that control in all the affairs of the society. At the opening of this year's work, we were very much handicapped by having so few seniors return. Thus it was necessary to fill our roll with new names. We began the work with eighteen men, while we now have forty-four. Therefore, we feel that we arc to be congratulated upon our success. We close the year's work feeling that our prospects for the coming year are very bright, and that further success awaits us. But few of our men graduate, thus we arc to have an abundant material for the coming year. Then too, never before, was the Aristo spirit more astir, than at the present time.

Floating aloft the corn and the blue, Born in eighteen ninety-one, Mid honor and truth her young life begun. Brave. loyal, and steadfast, the maidens so strong, Ever forward, ne'er backward, Neotropbia has gone; Xor pausing to idle, while others surpass. Hut remembering her motto, each — Neo lass. The laurel leaf, emblem of honor, and fame, Crowns with glory, her unspotted name; Makes the girls eager, to strive, and succeed, That Neo, as ever, may rank in the lead. The name that she bears has significance deep, For there is embodied her purpose so meet; The name. Neotrophia, speaks very plain. Of, “Culture of Youth,” the society’s aim. Inspiring and earnest, full of spirit and life, Her programs arc ever a source of delight; And her musical numbers, soulful and sweet, Add variety and charm to philosophy deep. In social as well as in classical lines, She indulges her genius, and relaxes her mind; Her social delights are never outclassed; Novel, unique and withal unsurpassed. But gayest of all the gay sports of the year, Is the time, when we take in our new members dear. And long will each “new girl”, remember her part, In the launch ride attended with fluttering heart. How she fled to obey each word of command, When the gay lighted launches drew up to the land; How she scurried for wood to make bonfires bright, And string dozens of lanterns, to make even more light. But oh! the suspense, that hung over her head, As she glanced furtively round between bites Of bread, For who knew what terrible things might occur, As she silently waited in trembling and fear. I’ll not tell what happened, but suffice to say, That no one was missing the following day, But all, dressed for the banquet, appeared after dark, At the summer hotel of Sans Souci Park. Just a glance at these maids, in the height of their play; One last lingering look at the banqueters, gay; 1 low happy they seem, how carefree, how bright, Strange contrast indeed with the darkness of night. O, school days so fleeting. O, dear comrades true, Close, close, draws the day, when we part from you, Tho' sad be the parting re-union so fond, 1� awaiting us all in the fairland beyond.

Hoyt (ilu' Zrtalrthean iuirirtu 0 The fifth ladies' society was organized in 1893. At first, as with the beginning of most enterprises, there were many struggles but through the efforts of its earnest, persevering members, this society was tided over the critical period and the Zetalethean ship was launched on the sea of life with its floating banner, announcing to the world its motto: “We seek the truth. From its very beginning, this society has done strong literary work, ever striving to attain the highest standard of success and power. Conse quently it has increased in numbers and power until it has a membership, whose work would reflect credit upon any society, each program furnishing evidence of careful preparation and earnest thought. When our faithful seniors left us a year ago, little did wc realize the responsibility resting upon us in trying to fill their places. But experience has been a dear teacher, and now, as some of us leave our beloved society, it is with regret, for wc have learned to love and appreciate our Zetalcthcans. As a society, wc feel that the year has been a prosperous one. The tasks have not always been easy, but to each one who has faithfully done her work, has come the reward of an increase in power, by which the society has prospered. A spirit of peace and harmony has attended everything done by the Zetalcthcans. The welfare of each individual member has been one of the chief objects of consideration; consequently a band of enthusiastic, energetic workers have united their efforts for the common good. The beautiful mont.. of June is again here with its lovely flowers, balmy air. and golden sunshine. We love the bright flowers, that Mother Nature has scattered about us. but none seem so beautiful as the red rose, which is so dear to every Zcta Girl. Another year’s work is ended, and it is with a feeling of sorrow that we leave our beloved society. But we arc confident that our faithful, ener- getic Zcta girls will ever guide the old ship successfully, sail through all difficulties, rise above the billows, keep their banner proudly floating on the breeze, and gather up as cargos, many valuable gems of knowledge. ahr (0rin £ nrirtit Ii was in the spring term of 1893 that the Orio I.itcrary Society was founded. At that time on account of the large number of students, the need of a third society for men became manifest. Accordingly a band of forty - five young men met in the hall opposite Mr. Fullertons music room and there organized a new society, selecting E. D. Ede for its first president. The suggestive and fitting word Orio was chosen as the name for the new organization. The significance of the word, from orior, I rise, has ever since been the watchword of each individual member of the society. The emblem adopted was the star an 1 crescent. Although the society is comparatively young in years, yet it has gone through the “tips and downs” of society life, and to-day stands forth without a peer in the I. S. X. S.. and as a champion both in oratory and debate. In the four triangular oratorical cont 'is. w hich have been held, the Orios have won three firsts and in number of points ten more than cither of the other societies. In triangular debate the society seems invincible. It has been in the lead from the first, and at present has twelve more points to its credit than any other 'Ociety. Also in inter-collegiate debates the Orios usually furnish their share of the contestants. In the contest for selecting men for the Missouri debate, the society succecdc 1 in placing two debaters and one alternate. It is not along intellectual lines alone that the society has distinguished itself, but in «•very department of the school the Orio boys arc seen striving for first honors. One needs onlv to call attention to the fact that ten of the sixteen Minnesingers have sworn allegiance to the star and crescent, that the basket ball team is largely composed of Orios, that the society is well represented in base ball and foot ball, that on the track the wearers of the yellow and white have always proved themselves to be strong competitors. The feeling that exists between the Orio society and their sister society, the Cliosophic, is of the most congenial nature. At the beginning of the fall term the two 'Ocicties spent a very delightful evening at the Roadman country home, initiating their new members. It was also during the fall term that the honorary members entertained the societies at the home of Miss Wild. This was an event long to be remembered. Another most pleasing social function was the Cliorio Banquet which was held in the Odd Fellows’ temple, during the winter term. It is such events as these that bring the individual members into closer contact with one another, a means, therefore, of getting better acquainted, and thus increasing the pleasures of school life. It would be useless to attempt to mention the many men, once active members of the Orio society, who have gone out into the activities of life, who are holding worthy positions throughout our state and nation, and who are citizens of large influence and strong character in the communities in which they live. The high grade programs given by the society at each regular meeting, the individual work, thoroughly and conscientiously done by each member, the ready Mipport and co- operation given to its chosen representatives, and its honest and fair dealings in all things are some of the prominent characteristics that bring the society its marked success and give to it its exalted position among the societies of the Iowa State Normal.

Ever faithful was she, in all things great and small, Although pain often banished all pleasures: Thus her picture may claim the best place in our hall, But her thoughts and ideals in our hearts we will treasure. Far and wide in the land her message we’ve spread, Far and wide in the land where'er duty may call Under palms, under pines, both alike 't may be said, Its truth and its beauty we’re teaching to all.

Long life then, dear Ossoli, may you live, may you grow, May you flourish and prosper in all that you do; In these wishes we join, and this prayer as we go, — “To the best that we know, may we ever be true.” QUtrrstnmathtau iwtdu In the Spring of 1901 a few girls who were especially fond of their work and comrades in the Provisional Society known as the Round Table, conceived the idea of organizing a new literary society. This suggestion was not approved of by the faculty as there were then six Women's Societies. It was only through very persistent efforts that recognition was finally won in the Fall of the same year, under the name Chrestomathian, which means “Teaching what is useful.” Although its beginning was extremely small, through the faithful work of the members, the “Baby as it was then called, has grown rapidly, until now, scarcely five years old it ranks among the first societies in the school in the character of literary work done. The spirit of the charter members i -still shown, and as a result, thi- reputation has been won. In the Second Women's Oratorical Contest, in which the Chresto representative won second honors, and at the Open Session given March 2, 1006. the standard set up during the past, has still been maintained. The social side of school life is not neglected and owing to the good • will and co-operations existing among the members, all Chresto social events are most successful. Among these arc the reception given the new members in the Fall and the informal good time after the Women's Oratorical Con- test. Commencement is drawing near and to many of the Chresto girls this will mean the replacement of the small gold anchor, by the gold monogram C. and S. the graduate pin. As each one goes forth to do her part in the world's great work, she will always be true to the society standards, and will ever be ready to sing. Room, room, room. Zip, zah, boom. Besto.

GDratnry Our Oratorical Association which consists of representatives from the ten chartered literary societies is fast becoming a greater and more aggressive factor in our schopl life. Through its instrumentality is chosen the representative of Normal, for the Inter- state Contest, among the States of Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa: The first contest of this Interstate League was held in 1896, at Warrensburg. Missouri. At the second contest, held at Emporia, Kansas, Percival Hunt of Iowa, won first place.' In 1899, we were so hospitable, that we were willing to give to one of our guests Arnold L. Gesell of Wisconsin, first honors, while we contented ourselves with second. We displayed a similar spirit of generosity and conceded to our opponents the right to wear the laurel Wreath until 1905, when Macey Campbell with the aid of “The City and System in American Politics” succeeded in again bringing Iowa to the front. This year the contest is to be held in Warrensburg, Missouri, and we hope that last year’s history will repeat itself and that Mr. John L. Cherny, our cool logical and forceful little orator, with his “Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces of Government,” will appear numerically the smallest on the list, and with such a coach as Dr. Todd, we feel that wc are not entertaining an idle dream to suppose that such a thing may be possible. If hard conscientious work counts for anything in these contests, we know that Iowa will reap her share of the honors.

In these contests the men’s and women’s societies are separate, since the object of these contests is to give each society an opportunity to win over the rivals of its own class. P'irst place entitles the winning society to five points; second place, three points; third place, two points, and fourth place, one point. The following is the standing of the Men’s societies and names of winning orators in order of rank: November 8, 1900—Macy Campbell (Aristo), H. B. Morgan (Orio), F. O. Smith (Orio), R. R.

Ferris Jesse Mantle Antra Srbatr “On to Ames”. “On to Ames” was the shout of twenty or more representatives of the Normal, on November 10th, as they left Cedar Falls, to attend the annual debate. Our institution was represented by D. V. Ferris, of Lorimor; Jesse Mantle, of Cedar Falls; John L. Cherny, of Osage; with C. A. Steelsmith, of Ogden, as alternate. The question for debate was. Resolved, that the demand of organized labor for the closed shop, is justifiable, provided the Union docs not deny membership to worthy applicants. Our team supported the negative. The first representative of Ames made a strong plea, in which he presented the advantages and success of the closed shop. He was followed by the deliberate and analytical Mr. Ferris, who convinced the audience that all the points that his opponent had claimed, were entirely unnecessary to foster the growth of unionism or increase the advantages of the workingman. Next came the “Cyclone” from Ames, who sought to overwhelm our boys, and sweep the open shop into an ignominious desuetude, but he did not fully realize that he was to be followed by the veteran Mr. Mantle, who in a few magic words spoke peace to the •raging storm and then with all the fire, which he could command he burned into the hearts of his hearers, the abuses of unionism, which convinced them that the unions could not be trusted with the great power of the closed shop. The closing speaker for mes, tho eloquent, dramatic, and logical, was no match for his successor Mr. John L. Cherny, who in his calm and masterful way tore to pieces the master pieces of his opponents and clinched the arguments of his colleagues. Then followed quick, sharp and pointed rebuttal on both sides. A few minutes of anxious waiting and the judges, unanimous decision was given for Normal. So closed the tenth Annual debate with the seventh victory for the pedagogues. One Hundred Missovri-Iowa Debaters HOME TEAM. Thomas Conley M. ii. Hoffman I) D. Carlton f®tBamtri-3lmua Srhatr When Kansas declined to continue our annua! interstate debate our League senf Dr. Todd to Kirksvillc, Missouri, to arrange for a double forensic contest, with the First District Normal School. This double debate is an entirely new departure in the middle west, and is the only real test of the debating skill of an institution, since its representatives must both uphold and deny the same question. This scheme is to be carried out by holding the debate in both States at the same time, the affirmative teams being the visitors. Our visiting team is composed of J. Foy Cross, Andrew N. Wray and Edward Goctch, with II. C. Snodgrass as alternate. With this combination of conservatism, fire and fluency, we feel that our boys will be able to show the Missourians that Municipal Ownership is the only system for cities of 25,000 Inhabitants and over. We feel no less confident, however, that I). D. Carlton, Thomas Conley and M. H. Hoffman with Ray T. Clough as alternate, a mixture of level headedness, Irish shrewdness, and deepseated enthusiasm, will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt to the judges and the stalwart warriors from Missouri, that the times arc not ripe for Municipal- ities to own their street railways and lighting works especially in the United States.

The instruction given a class in Repertoire accomplishes the same purpose as private work; the lessons assigned are adapted to the needs of the individual student and a more sym- metrical development is made possible, than could be accomplished in ordinary class work; the student gains the mental and physical poise and self-control, which are a necessity for one engaged in public speaking, and of practical worth to every teacher. Three terms of repertoire are required in the Public Reading and Speaking Course; many of the master pieces of literature arc studied and each member of the class has the advantage, not only of the instruction and criticism he receives individually, but of the critical discussion following each production. This work is a practical application of the methods learned in the first terms of elocution and is a thorough test of the student's ability, both as to the theory and practice.

Systematic Bible Study in the Normal School dates almost from the beginning of the Christian Associations. The first class was formed early in the year 1887 and was taught by President Seerlcy. The increase of official duties made it necessary for the leadership to be transferred to Miss Sarah Peters, '88, at present a missionary in China, who carried the class through the spring term of '87—'88. In the fall of 1888, Professor Albert Loughridge became leader and continued in that capacity for ten years. He was followed by Professor C. P. Colgrove, who led for three years. The present leader in Professor Ira S. Condit, who has been in that position since the fall term of 1901—'2. The general plan of organization has varied but little from the first. joint committee of the two associations attends to all the details of or- ganization and management. Bible classes arc organized in the different boarding halls, each class haying a leader, usually a student. A training class for the leaders meets weekly, under the direction of the faculty leader, who assists the members in their preparation for the classes, which they are to meet oi the following Sunday morning. A three-year course of study is followed, including Old Testament History, The Life of Christ, and the Apostolic Age. The outlines are prepared .by the leader of the training class, and at present are printed in pamphlet form for distribution to the classes. The enrollment for the winter term of 1905—'6 was 121 men and 4G2 women. Expensos are met by a free-will offering taken in the classes each term. Ik a S. Condit. One Hundred and Five Y. W. C. A.

Through Devotional Meetings, through Special Gospel Meetings, through Bible Study and definite personal work, the Association has sought the development of Christian character and to win young women for Christ; thus many have learned to love the work and to seek a higher life. We have this year 525 young women on our membership list; 492 have been enrolled in Bible Study classes and 45 in Mission classes. Our Association has been strengthened by the inspiration the twelve delegates brought from the Summer Conference at Waterloo. Ten girls attended th'c State Convention at Iowa City; and in connection with the Young Men’s Christian Association, we were per- mitted to send six representatives to the Student Volunteer Convention, at Nashville, Tennessee. Because of the inspiration they received, we expect a great uplift along spiritual and missionary lines. The Advisory Board consisting of Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Colgrovc, A)isses Simmons.

Students have come to recognize the fact that to develop symmetrically while in school, they must attend to the devotional side of their natures; they have come to sec the necessity of Bible-Study and the advantage of a better acquaintance with Missions and other special lines of Christian activity. During the past year it has been the purpose of the Y. M. C. A to meet these demands of the student life. Very few’ results can be put in statistical form, but the following facts may be noted. The membership at the close of the year w’as 100. One hundred and twenty-one were enrolled in Bible-Study. Five men attended the Summer Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and three the Student Volunteer Convention at Nashville, Tenn.

Previous to that time a union had existed among the Catholic students and the earnest efforts of its members aided materially in paving the way for a more permanent union, made necessary by the increasing membership. The object of the Association is the upbuilding of Christian character, by presenting the requisite opportunities for development along educational and religious lines. The society at present is in a flourishing condition, its membership is constantly increasing and it is on a staple financial basis. The course of study pursued this year is a detailed study of the New Testament. Weekly meetings are held. Gradually a library has been built up apd many standard works are to be found here. Through the current magazines and periodicals, the members are kept in touch with the religious movements of the day. The social side has not been neglected and a number of very enjoyable receptions have been given during the year. The society is deeply indebted to Archbishop Keane and Father Doulon for the interest displayed. Through their efforts there have been given a number of very helpful addresses by educational leaders.

Brandstetter ®Itp fHtmteatngera In the year 1888-89 the first chorus of male voices was organized by Miss Julia Curtiss. At that time it was called the I. S. N. S. Glee Club, later developed into what is now known as the Minnesingers. In 1897 Mr. C. A. Fullerton was secured as head of the vocal department, and has since acted as director of the club. Eight years ago the first home concert was given, and this together with the concert tour of several Iowa towns has become an annual affair. It is also the custom to accompany the representative of the I. S. N. S. to the Interstate Oratorial Contest which for a number of years has been held successively in the stales of Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Iowa. The one characteristic which distinguishes the Minnesingers from the great majority of Glee Clubs, is the high class of Music which is always given in their concerts. The club has the reputation of always doing well whatever it undertakes. This fact was well demonstrated at the Eisteddfod, at Dcs Moines, Iowa, December, 1905, where they won the first prize for Glee Clubs from all other Iowa contestants. The personnel for 1905-06 is as follows: C. A. Fullerton, Director, (Bass.) FIRST TENOR. BARITONE. 1. H. H. Huffman 10. V Levy Clark 2. Warren E. Proctor 11. W. G. Lranustkttf.r 3. E. Ori.o Bangs 12.

(Erriltan (Slrr (Club In 1888, soon after Miss Julius Curtiss came to the Normal School, she organized the first glee club called the “Cccilian Glee Club.” This was composed of sixteen members; among them were Misses Hale, Moffett, Sisson, Jones, and Mrs. Wallace Patterson. Miss Curtiss had charge of the club until the fall of 1001, when Mr. Robert Fullerton assumed its leadership. The club remained under his supervision until the fall of 1005, when Miss Clara L. Crcssey of the New England Conservatory of Boston took his place. Under the supervision of these three leaders, the Cecilians have accomplished much. From the first they have been very popular. The interest has always been great, and the work steadily developed. At three different times, they have united with the Minnesingers in giving an opera, near the close of the spring term. These were looked forward to by all and were greatly appreciated. Pinai-'ore was presented once and Robin Hood twice. These were under the direction of Mr. C. A. Fullerton, assisted by Miss Pierce, the first two years, and Miss Oliver last year. In 1903, the clubs accompanied the school orator to the Inter-State Oratorical contest, held in DeKalb, and last year to Milwaukee. At these contests they received that hearty applause which they always re- ceive from those who have learned to know them best. This year, under the leadership of Miss Cressey. the Cecilians have done some excellent work. They have furnished music for several open sessions and the oratorical contest. The selections studied have all been of a high grade; among them are Rehind the Lattice—Chadwick, Spring Song—Oscar Weil, Lullaby—Brahms, Bridal Chorus from Rose Maiden, Robin Adair—Dudley Buck, and Spinning Chorus from Flying Dutchman. Miss Cressey has charge of two other glee clubs and her plan is on a basis of promotion; the requisites are not only skill in reading, but the power to interpret. This has been considered in the work, and artistic singing can well be said to be one of the Cecilians’ characteristics. The Cecilians have enjoyed their work together and the general atmos- phere has been such that it has had its helpful influence upon each member. A small gold pin representing a lyre on which is engraved the name, Cecilian, has been adopted so that while many of the members leave the Normal school this year, they feel they are still Cecilians.

Anderson Ethel Landers • Maud McChane (Ultural flrirtij There is perhaps no Normal School in the United States that has a Choral Society superior to our own. There arc at present about 150 voices in this organization, including the members of the four best Glee Clubs in the school, the Minnesingers, Cecilians, Troubadours and Entcrpeans. For many years this society gave many standard choruses on different public programs, but it was not until Mr. Robert Fullerton returned from Obcrlin, that sufficient time could be given by the Musical Department for the rehearsals necessary for the rendition of oratorios. That this society has created a taste for the best music is evident. That they have reached a marked degree of success is shown by their record. Under the leadership of Mr. C. A. Fullerton, whose ability as an organizer and director is second to none, the Choral Society gave in 1903 the Messiah,” in 1904 the “Elijah,” in 1905 “The Creation.” This Spring the music festival is to be much more extensive than anything heretofore under- taken at Normal. It is hoped that the attempt will meet with such success as will insure a May Festival as a permanent feature of the school program.- There will be in all three concerts, one on the evening of May 16th, and two on May 17, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The first concert is to be of a somewhat mixed character, including orchestral numbers, vocal and piano solos. The second concert on the afternoon of May 17, will be a regular sym- phony concert by Hie Thomas orchestra. On the evening of May 17, the ora- torio of St. Paul, will be given by the Choral Society, the solo parts being taken by Charlotte Maconda, Soprano; Grace Munson, Contralto; Glenn Hall, Tenor; and Herbert Witherspoon. Bass; with N. J. Elsenheinier, Pianist. Our school can congratulate itself that it has such a leader at the head of this movement and the members of the Choral Society can feel proud of the fact that they have both the privilege and responsibility of singing with such distinguished soloists as are mentioned above.

A. Fitzgerald, in 1896. Up to this time no effort had been made by the school to give instruction in music of this kind. With the rapid growth of the school and the development of its different departments, there came a demand for an enlargement of the department of music. At this time the services of Mr. Fitzgerald were secured to take charge of the band and the teaching of instrumental music. Besides the working up of an excellent band, Mr. Fitzgerald also organized an Orchestra and Mandolin Club. The first Club consisted of but two mandolins and two guitars. At the present time it is one of the best musical organizations of the school. It now consists of five first mandolins, four second mandolins, two violins, four guitars, a flute, cello, harp and piano. The Club gives a concert each term and also furnishes music for many public pro- grams. given by the literary societies. One Hand red and Seventeen One Hundred and Eighteen THE LADIES' LAND iCatocB’ Sani For some time there had been talk of organizing a Indies’ Hand, and at the opening of last school year a call was given to see if there was enough interest to warrant the State buying the instruments. Although considerable interest was shown it was thought best to wait another year. So at the beginning of the Fall Term, 1905, another call was given and about one hundred bright looking young ladies presented themselves, eager to learn some- thing new concerning music and ready for any amount of hard work in order to have the prisilege of playing on one of those beautiful instruments. As soon as possible, instruments for about thirty-five were procured, the preference being given to those who expected to take private lessons and to those who had had the most piano music, and immediately work commenced. The history of the band is short, but the progress has been rapid, shown by the fact that with less than eighteen weeks preparation, the band is dated to give a concert in the Normal Auditorium, on April 0th, and which we are sure will be a great success. The music is of high grade and especially the individual numbers which arc from standard composers such as, “Brigham’s Love Song”, by Petrie, and “Miserie” from II Trovatorc. Our Ladies’ Hand is the largest of its kind in this country and probably in existence, there being one Indies' Professional Hand in the East, composed of twenty pieces. And also being something new in the West, its success is being regarded with much interest by the world at large. Hut its success cannot be questioned when it is understood with what motive the girls have gone into it. They have not joined simply for amusement but for the benefit to be derived. It is not only very interesting but broadening to the musical mind to learn about the various instruments, their names and the way the sounds are produced, to be able to tell when listening to a Band or Orchestra, what instruments are carrying the melody and what ones arc playing accompaniments. It also gives splendid drill in car training and rhythm a' there i nothing more important in band music than perfect tempo and absolutely correct pitch. We are sure the Hand will be a success and this will be due largely to the very great nterest manifested and hard work done by our excellent director, Prof. F. A. Fitzgerald. One Hundred and Nineteen Oilir Normal (Orchestra There has been a great advance in all the musical departments of the Normal in the last three years. That which directly benefited our orchestra most, has been the establishment of the violin course together with the other special teacher courses. This enables our students to become more proficient and assists the orchestra in advancing because they are with us for a greater length of time. Our conductor, Prof. Merrill, always stands for the highest and best there is in music and keeps before us a standard which is unexelled. Just before coming here he studied three years in Berlin, finishing the 1 loch-Schulc” under two of the world’s best known masters. Joachim and Moser. Having had experience in orchestration and in conducting, he came to us as an efficient conductor and instructor. The annual concert this year will prove especially attractive to all lovers of good music for it will contain some of the masterpieces of the best composers. Among them are Chopin’s '‘Funeral March,” “The Fantasie” from Lohengrin, the Mozart Jupiter Symphony and Haydn’s Sixth Symphony. Following is the present membership of the orchestra: Conductor—Prof. B. W. Merrill. First Violins—Alma Cutler. Madge Eastman, Zella Moon, B. R. King. Second Violins—Adolph Kramer. Hans Holst, Bryan Condit, Ira Hougland, Maurice Pearl, Ed. .Messier. Violas—Earl Hougland. Coral Sykes. Cello—Myrl Wheeler. Bass—Lyle Hawk. Flutes—Julia Bahl, Wentworth Rogers. Oboe—Merritt Wheeler.

President Main of Grinnell has proposed the establishment of a stu- dent council to act with the faculty in the consideration of affairs relat- ing to the student body. $ay, there i$ a little matter that Some of our Subscribers and adver- tisers have $eemingly forgotten. To uS it IS neceSSary in our buSineSS. We are very modeSt and don’t wish to Speak about it. Simpson and Morningside re- cently debated the following ques- tion: Resolved that party candidates for elective offices within the state should be nominated by a direct vote of the parties.’ Morningside Col- lege won the debate; supporting the affirmative. Pres. H. H. Scerley was chosen first vice president of the department of superintendence of the National Educational Association. This de- partment meeting is perhaps the most important teacher’s gathering held in the country. It is the most prominent d3partment of theN. E A. and its results being more specific and practical than those of the more general meeting make it more effect- ive. Twelve Phonetic Words were recommended by the department of superintendence to the N. E. A. to be used in ail its publi- cations. The changes recom- mended are as follows “Bizness” for business; “enuf for enough; “fether” for feather; “mesure ’ for measure; “plesure” for pleasure: “red” for read; “ruff” for rough; “trapuf” for trough; “thru” for through; “tuff” for tough; “tung” for tongue; “yung” for young. President Faunce of Brown Uni- versity thinks football a rough game, and yet believes that it should be re- tained by the colleges “I firmly be- lieve we ought to have one ‘rough’ game,” he says, “one game in which college men conflict with one another When people are now denouncing the game of football the old drinking and carousing of a generation ago are for gotten, as well as the destruction of property which used to characterize youthful exuberance. These things are unknown in college life today, and it is a direct result of the rise of ath- letics, especially football.” President Thing says, “If there bo any person who should be happy, it is the student. Every stu- dent is a picked man. He represents one out of many hundreds who has beer, saved for the higher education. One Hundred and Twenty-Two One Hundred and Twenty-Three One Hundred and Twenty-Four FOOT BALL TEAM—1003 46184 JfmitfraU 1905 The opening of the football season of 1905 was anything but encouraging. Material was scarce, only about twenty men appearing for practice at the beginning of the season and the number gradually decreasing until there was left only the regular eleven and a few nuM used as substitutes. From the team that so ably represented Normal on the gridiron the season before, only two regulars returned—Casey the mighty right tackle and Captain Eh ret. The ex- perience and weight of these two men made itself felt in every game and much of the success of the team must be accredited to them. The remaining positions had to be filled by new men. The men who were available for these . positions were lacking both in experience and weight. Coach Pell, however, as usual rose to the occasion and developed a first class team. The team work was good. On the offensive Ehret. Casey, Hamilton and Scallon were the best ground gainers On wide end runs, Red” had a tendency to tuck the ball safely under his arm and depart on an errand behind the enemy’s goal. Ehret with his phenomenal hurdling often left the “would-be tackier wildly grasping the air. Scallon did good work in line smashing and to Casey was left the responsibility of making the required gain on third down. .Mcrner did excellent work in running interference. Orr used his head well in running the team and was a sure tackier and punter. Chase tackled sure and hard and did much to stop gain around his end. Warner, Clancy. Mathews and Ersland. although they did not carry the ball, filled their positions as creditably as any on the team. Everything considered the season proved a success. No serious injuries were received and only once did it become necessary to substitute. It is true the team was beaten and beaten badly, but it took the best college teams in the State to do it. They lost only to Ames, Iowa and Penn, the heaviest and best teams in the State. Against Iowa they made a better showing than Grinnel or Drake and have the distinction of being the only team in the State that crossed Iowa's goal line during the entire season. Penn was held to a score of 12 to 6. They broke even with Coe and Morningside, two of the fastest teams in Iowa. From the schedule it can be seen that they won by a large score from teams that arc quite prominent among the teams of the State. On account of the evils that arc often connected with football, and the new rules regulating the eligibility of the contestants, it is thought that in a school of this character the game as it is now played is undesirable. The athletic board has therefore decided that Normal shall hold no more interscholastic games until there has been a radical change in the rules. Considerable interest has been taken in this department of athletics and the benefits and pleasures derived from it will be missed by all connected with the school. 24jr $rlirbulr Normal .......................... 23 Normal .......................... 23 Normal ........................... 0 Normal ........................ 12 Normal ........................... 6 Normal ........................... 5 Normal .......................... � Normal ........................... 6 Normal ...........................31 Normal ........................... 0 Normal ........................112 Games won 5, tied 2. lost 3.

This is due to the fact that it has been made a part of required physical training. Interest in the game for its own sake though, surpasses that of any other form of recreative exercise offered at Normal. Basket Ball enthusiasts far outnumber those of swimming, golf, tennis or hockey. During the Fall term, greater prominence is given to Basket Ball than at any other season. In 190 � , the third, fourth and fifth terms gymnasium classes each, supported a 'team. Since it has not been the policy of the school to encourage games with other institutions, interest in Basket Ball centers on the Inter-Class games. These arc played at the close of the term, when the championship of the Basket Ball courts is decided. The match games of November 1905, were unusually spirited and interesting. The series opened with a contest between the third term girls, with Miss Campbell as Captain, and the fourth term team, captained by Stella Fisher. Three games were played between these teams to decide which class would meet the fifth term in the final contest. All three games were characterized by the keenest competition, but the fourth term team proved the stronger, winning two out of the three games. The game for final honors was played between the fourth and fifth term classes. Both were well matched. Miss Fisher’s team having won two victories, were confident. The fifth term, with Miss Muhs as captain, had also won Basket Ball honors. The score was very close, the fifth term team winning by a small margin, thus became the champions of the school. The line-up of the Fifth term team i as follows: Winifred Muhs, Captain, Center; Clara Johnson, Ccnterguard; Helen Sccrley and Ethel Vinall, Forwards; Georgia Knight and Mabel McNally, Guards. One of the happy features about the games was the banquet given by the winning [team, in honor of the Third and Fourth term teams. Much of the interest in Basket Ball is due to the successful way in which it has been conducted. Under the efficient coachuig of Misses Paffendorf and Carter, Basket Ball has become distinctly the favorite sport for women at Normal. One Hundred and Twenty-Six TUMBLING CLASS Sr kin Iiiti'MHK C. A. Pull I«ooxan Okh ■Svi AM' .:x..,w________________________ Sour I- ui.i_a.nd One Hundred and Twenty-Seven One Hundred and Twenty-Eight I MEN S BASKET BALL TEAM Barnes Hamilton R. Shearn Knci.kman ' Mkrnkk T. Siiearn Walters Cotton ittnt’s Saakptball at Normal The past season was a decided success, both from a financial standpoint and in the number of games won. Every game in the home Gym, excepting the ones with the Hawkeyes, resulted in a majority of points for Normal. The most spirited contest witnessed here was the one with the team from Leander Clark College. The Westerners had defeated Normal only the week before, and with the thoughts of this in mind each team played with a determination to win. In the Iowa game, Normal lacked this spirit, which is necessary for victory. This was due to the fact that Englcman was not able to play and Captain Mcrner was not in good form. The result was evident after a few minutes, but in the face of this, the home team contested every second of time until the whistle sounded their defeat. Interesting games were played with the Waterloo, Ft. Dodge and Marshalltown Y. M. C. A.’s. Two games were won from the Marshalltown Y. M. C. A. Two were won and two lost of the four played with the Waterloo Y. M. C. A. One game was lost to the Ft. Dodge Y. M. C. A. Two were lost to Iowa. Normal and Western College broke even, each winning a game on their home grounds. Captain Merner played a winning game throughout the season, having more points to his credit than any other individual player. He captained the squad in an honest, impartial way. giving each man credit for his ability, and on the last trip of the season was unanimously re-elected captain for next year. Shcarn played an excellent game at the position of forward, winning the next highest number of points for Normal. Engleman showed the result of his two years experience in Basket Ball during the first few games, but because of an accident, the team suffered the loss of its big center. Walters and Cotton, though they lacked experience at first, soon developed into a fast pair of guards. They arc short in stature, but speed and head work enabled them to make the enviable record they have to their credit. Woolcy and R. Shearn were substitutes for the position of forward, Each playing in several games. Barnes was sub. for the other positions and did good work on several occasions. The fact that Normal put a winning team in the field, is due to the good coaching of Professor Affleck, the- constant rivalry for places on the team and the efficient work of manager Hamilton. Schwaiker. Volum and Hager, were worthy contestants for the posi- tion of forward, and Wenner. Harrison and Jess Walters kept up a lively race for the position of guard. “Red having had experience in the management of athletics, was able to choose and arrange for the more desirable of the games to be had. After spending time and energy in arranging the games, he gave up his place on several of the trips, that extra players might be taken. Next year's team will be extremely fortunate to secure as efficient and loyal a manager as the present one has found in Mr. Hamilton. Every player of this year’s squad expects to be in school next year. Thus Normal is assured of even a more successful team for the coming season than she had m the one just closed. One Hundred and Twenty-Nine laseball Prospects for a winning team at Normal for 1906. appear brighter than for years. The picture of last year’s team at the right shows all of the old veterans, eight of whom left school or graduated in 1905. The men, who remain to form the nucleus of this year’s team, are Hilliard, left fielder and short stop; Hoffman, right field; Dickman, third base; and Haas, captain and first baseman. M. Johnson, a last year's sub., also is back in the game. Candidates for the team commenced practice in the gymnasium shortly after Christmas, and consequently, when weather conditions premitted the squad to go out on the field, the men were in splendid condition to begin regular work. A squad of over forty reported the first day, and under the direction of Pell took cross-country runs, until the baseball diamond became suitable for regular practice. Coach Pell has taken direct charge of the men this year and a strong attempt is being made by him to cultivate a good batting team. There has been remarkably close competition for places on the team, which is rather unusual at Normal. The new men give promise of making the best it am that Normal has had for a long time. The new material that will probably make up the first team squad is: Davis, Anderson. Cook, Orr. Cotton, Andrews, Scheidt, Bloom, Nyant, Fitzgerald, .Morehead, Krsland and others. .Manager Haas and other baseball men have assured a successful financial season, by selling enough season tickets to guarantee all the sched- ule. Just as this article goes to print, Normal has played it first game. Notwithstanding, that four or five of the strongest players were disqualified by the new Inter-Collegiate rules, Normal played Cornell a fierce and ex- citing game at ,Mt. Vernon. Cornell winning by one score, 4 to 5. The un- favorable day replete with snow, rain and cold, was a great hindrance to the I est playing, although in spite of all a remarkable game was played. It was a severe test for Normal’s new men to meet Cornell's old veterans, and the results show that much will be done by our team this year. The team- work displayed was better than seen in a team here for a long time, and all the men hit the ball. Anderson, Normal's new pitcher struck out ten men as compared to eight struck out by Frei. Cornell's pitcher. Pell was well satisfied with the first showing made-by his men, and expresses high hopes for the future success of the 1906 team. The line-up was. Orr, Catcher; Anderson, pitcher; Captain Haas, 1st ba c; Cotton. 2nd base; Hilliard, short-stop; Dickman, third base; Davis, center-field; Cook, right-field; Ersland, left-field. Johnson and Andrews, •ubsti tutes. The following schedule is to be played this spring: April 14—Normal with Cornell, at Mt. Vernon. April 21—Normal with Ames, at Ames. May 5—State University with Normal, at Cedar Falls. May 9—Normal With Coe. at Cedar Rapids; May Normal with Ames, at Cedar Falls. May 26--Normal with Cornell, at Cedar Falls.

With two such competent instructors as Coach Pell and Physical Director ffleck, great interest is taken in all athletics of the Normal and with our excellent athletic field and quarter-mile cinder track, the conditions are the best for developing those that are interested along these lines. For the past five years Normal has been gradually rising step by step, until at the present time we have some of the star athletes of the State. Our records for the past year show that in the Dual Meet with the Iowa State University on Normal Field. Normal won a gratifying number of points, and two weeks later in the Iowa Conference Meet, held on Normal Field. Normal was victorious over Cornell, Penn, and Upper Iowa by a large margin. In the Inter-State Meet, held at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we were again victorious by a large score, this making the fourth consecutive victory in track athletics Iowa Norfnal has won over the Normals of Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. At the State Meet last year Normal won twenty-six points. Our athletic meets opened this season with an indoor Dual Meet with the State University at Iowa City. March 24, 1900. This was a new venture for Iowa and Normal, but proved a great success. Indoor meets are receiving great encouragement at present, as they keep up the interest in training and also give the coach an opportunity at an early date to pick out the new material that a systematic course of training can he given to develop the men along the lines they are best suited. The captain of the team this year is Mr. Frank Hamilton, of Grinncll, Iowa, who is better known as “Reddic,” the greatest college sprinter in Iowa, lie holds the record at Normal in the 100-yd., 220-yd., M0-yd. dash, and the running broad jump. At the State Meet last year, he won first in the 100 yd., and 440 yd. dash, and second in the 220 yd. With such a manager as Mr. Will Wood, the star pole vaulter of Normal, we feel that our record this year will far surpass any yet made. The following are the school records: Event Won bv Year Record 101) Yd. Dash ...’04 ’05 Pole Vault ..Wm. C. Wood... 10 ft. 6 in. . . 1903 36 ft. 5 4 in. Running Broad Jump. . . .1905 16-lb.

It is also just as important for the girls to have a thorough gymnastic training as ior the boys. There was a time when it was considered very improper for a young woman to take part in athletic games and other forms of gymnastic work, but as a people, we are becoming educated along that line and to-day the young women of our Normal Schools and Colleges graduate with a healthy body as well as a good mind. Most of the students entering normal have n« ver had any gymnastic training and they arc first taught free standing exercises for all parts of the body, beginning with the simplest kind and progressing to very difficult ones. These arc given for the purpose of muscular control for co-ordination, to acquire and maintain a good posture and to correct defects, such a drooping head, narrow chest, round shoulders, etc. Then wc advance by giving exercise? with all kinds of hand apparatus, fancy steps, progressive jumping and gymnastic games. All this training not only develops the students but gives them a good idea of the many exercises and the methods used, so that they can teach gymnastic exercises in their schools. After the muscles have become hardened and the body strengthened, the student is then trained to perform exercises on all the different pieces of apparatus in the gymnasium and to know their use. Along with this begins the recreative games, such a- Tennis, Base Ball, Basket Ball, Hockey and Golf. Basket Ball is the most popular game and a great many participate in it. For those who cannot endure the severe exercise of Basket Ball and Hockey, Golf is advised as it involves considerable time spent out of doors. The amount of exercise received is regulated according to the indix idual and a great deal of walking is done without the player apparently noticing it. Indoor Base Ball is a good game for the gymnasium and can be a preparation for out- door Base Ball. The exercise is not severe and the players are not all working at the same time. If the students were allowed to select the kind of exercises they wanted it would be mostly games of this nature, and they would of course receive exercise and dex'elop the body, but when their work was completed, they would 'till have poor carriage, narrow chests, and the like. F.rect carriage and poise of the body is one of the aims of the gymnasium, from a hygienic standpoint. The exercise must not be taken 'imply for the benefit derived at the time,'but rather it must fit them for their life work, and give them a constitution so that they can easily resist the attacks of disease as well as the power to carry on vigorous activity.
