A little frame build- ing was erected for the use of the public school classes of Men- omonie for the pursuit of man- ual training in the year 1891: the building was long since abandoned, but the course had awakened a tiny flame of interest that spread into a larger, and a larger. — ever widen- ing until the farthest states of our Union were touched b its influence. I he beautiful city of Menomonie in western Wisconsin. si tv-si miles east of St. Paul, has every reason to point with pride to The Stout In- stitute located there. — a school of national reputation: and to speak with gratitude ami respect of that citizen, now deceased, from whom the school takes it name, whose public spirit and interest in practical education prompted him to begin the work that has been so ably carried on. For two years the first little wooden building served its purpose, provid- ing cooking for the girls, and bench work for ' the bo s. But it was soon found quite inadequate for the desired extension in this field: and in 1 S°. Mr. Stout built and equipped a splendid, three-story building on the site of the present tower building, connected in like manner lu a bridge with the city high school. This was indeed a wonderful improvement over the tiny frame structure in which the work first began: but in the winter of 1897 both it and the high school were burned to the ground. Despite the loss, and with courage undaunted, Mr. Stout a second time built and equipped the Stout Manual Training School, a $150, structure, com- pleted in 1898. The city rebuilt its high school, and the two new buildings were connected as before. Ample provisions were now made for pupils from the fifth grade through the high school to take up the different branches of home economics ami manual training. The equipment and courses were so complete and the character of the work so satisfactory, that the high school graduates were called to teach in other schools: although the purpose of the school was not the training of special teachers at that time ami did not become so until 1903. ing ..i ui.u mil , .mil uiu m«h wet-onie so until ivim. In 1899 the kindergarten training school was organized as a part of the public school system; and in 1903 The Stout Training School for I IS] teachers of home eco- nomics and manual train- ing, as well as for the kindergarten, was inau- gurated with Mr. L. I). 1 larvey as superintend- ent Until 1908 this re- mained under the man- agement of the board of education of Menomo- nie; but in that year, the growth of the school having surpassed the highest expectation. Stout Institute was in- corporated as an inde- pendent organization with Honorable J. H. Stout as President of the Board of Trustees, and Superintendent L. 1). Harvey as President of the Institute. In 1909. after ten years of successful work, the kindergarten course was discontinued, because of the establishment of a like depart- ment at the State Normal School in Superior. At about the same time the Trade Schools for plumbers and bricklayers offering one-year courses of practical training, were organized; and four years later extra provision was made for training teachers of the machine and building trades. The I Ionic-makers ' Department, also made possible by the public spirit i Mr. Stout, was organized in 1907 for those desiring training in the dis- charge of the duties and responsibilities of a home, but not interested in the professional side of the regular course. This department has been dis- continued for the current year (1915-16) due to lack of room, but will re-open next fall ottering better facilities than ever before. 1906 marks the date of the first Summer School Session: last year marks the date of the tenth. The increase in enrollment from twenty to three-hundred-thirty, and in faculty members from six to fifty in that time suggests the success. The summer school gives opportunity lor a good main special courses not offered in the regular term, and the coming session promises even greater variety than heretofore. A special feature is to be made of a course in cooking and sewing for teachers in rural schools under the direction of Miss I ' mma Conlev. the State Inspector of Home Kconomics in the Public Schools of Wisconsin. The practical phase of Household Management introduced so successfully in the regular course this year is also to be offered at the 1916 summer t the time of the incorporation of the institute in 1908, it was evident that additional buildings must he provided at an early date to accommodate the increasing number of students: and by 1910 Mr. Stout ' s plans for the erection of another building were nearlv completed, when his death in that vear i:n . i:d all his benevolent work. ( 16] In 1911 The Stout In- stitute was taken over by the State of Wisconsin, which two years later ap- propriated $265.0(10 for new buildings and new grounds. The first step taken was the erection of the new Building Trades School costing S50.IMMI. and the enlarging of the general heating plant in the year 1914: the sec- ond is the erection of the Home Kconomics build- ing costing with its equip- ment s250,000, now nearing completion. With its library, auditorium, offices, supply rooms. ample laboratories, and class rooms, furnishing adequate accommo- dations tor five hundred students, it is safe to say that this new building is one of the best arranged and best equipped to be found in the Home Economics Schools of the I nited States. The new buildings are only one indication of progress: whereas the increased attendance, the additions to the faculty and the wide-spread reputation and far reaching influence of the work evince the actual growth i I he Stout Institute. The student body of twenty-four (exclusive of the kindergarten course) in 1903. shows a present enrollment of five hun- dred fifty-five; the first faculty force of ten members numbers forty to- day: and the courses of study offered have increased from thirty to eighty. And not a little of the credit for this wonderful development and S of the school during the thirteen short years is due to the man who presides at its head, not figuratively, but literally: who himself lives the life he advocates for others: and whose interest, enthusiasm, and un- tiring efforts have directed the work so creditably carried on by the co- operation of office force and able faculty. In 1903 the student body represented Wisconsin only: today they are enrolled from twenty-two states. England, and Canada: and gradu ates are teaching in nearly every state of the Union. The character of the school ' s work is well shown by the success of its graduates, who gladly acknowledge The Stout Institute as their Alma Mater.

Dhbim Secret a rv and Treasurer The Gaveleers Literary Society WITH the graduation of the class of 1916. comes the close of the third successful year of the Gaveleers Literary Society. Many young men who have enjoyed the benefits of the society together will regret that the parting is at hand. Through the three years of its life, the original purposes of the or- ganization have remained intact: the development of those latent individual powers of rapid thinking, coupled with correct self-expression, and the mastery of the more fundamental principles of parliamentary practice. That the fulfillment of these purposes has borne good fruit is easily discerned in the ability of the various members to think while on their feet, and to express those thoughts in clear, concise English. The work of the society has consisted mainly of extemporaneous speaking and debating. criticizing, practice on parliamentary law. and prepared speaking. We are proud to have such an earnest group of workers with us: their ideals are high, and in the attaining of these ideals the whole student r 20 ] rift . ZTiw_ G m -t rssmr body of Stout has benefited. It is with regret that we watch the senior members leave, but we know that they take much that is good with them. ( )ur hopes turn to those that remain: may their efforts be guided into the right channels, so that the society may Hourish and extend its influence even farther than it has in the past.

Second Semester nt Se ond Sera I - ' - ' ] IN a school where the work is so entirely in special fields as it is here at Stout, we feci the need of organizations which will take the students away from the regular routine occasionally. The Philomarhean Literary t meets this need among the Domestic Economy students as the Gaveleers docs among the men. This organization is s: years old, and each year it becomes a more important factor in student life. The membership this year was limited to fifty members, who were passed on by a board ot censorship. As a result every member was actively interested in the work of the society ami could be counted on to do her share in am work attempted. There are many benefits to be derived from such a society. The prac- :n appearing before an audience in debate or discussion is of particular value to Stout girls who expect to be teachers. I he musical numbers on the programs have been much appreciated and the informal songfests around the piano have helped the girls forget the day ' s burden of chemical difficulties. Perhaps the greatest good comes from the social intercourse BROWN BEMIS GALE CASHMAN PMAN BARRETT MURRAY SHAFER MIDDLETON BLAKI MACEE HIPPKE VANDUZEE McHENR GOODRICH I ( R I WELLS TANNER1 McHENRI [ 23 1 which is possible where the membership is small. We are too busy to become really acquainted with each other in the class rooms: so the halt hours planned by the social committee have been a means of developing friendliness. The programs tor the first semester were planned with the general theme. ' Woman In Industry. The most important of these was the 1 lien H. Richard ' s program which was given at Assembly on the birth- day of this well loved ' Mother of Home Economics. ' In the second semester the program committee yielded to the pica of the members to get away from Domestic Science work, and the programs have been musical and literary in character. The lives and works of Jean Stratton-Porter, Rudyard Kipling, and Paul L. Dunbar have been made- subjects of some interesting and instructive meetings. Much credit is due to the officers of the society and to Miss Phillips. our faculty adviser, for their interest and work which have made this year worth while in the Philo. M. . ' 16.

I 26 I atVMCA TI IE importance of an organization is judged by its purpose and the efficiency with which it accomplishes the purpose. The Y. M. C. A. of The Stout Institute was organized in November, 1914, for the purpose of promoting the spirit of Christian fellowship among the men of the school. This idea is carried out first, by securing the very best talent possible in the school and city, to speak to the men at the Sunday morning services on moral and spiritual topics, which are of vital interest to young men and their character building. Music is also made one of the main features of the mor ning services. Second, by offer- ing social life in the form of receptions, banquets, picnics, and group and imittee gatherings, with special emphasis given to the spirit of fellow- ship and congeniality; also by assisting new men to become acquainted, and finding themselves at home in the school life. Third, bj encouraging the members to take part in some form of school athletics, and in this way developing the whole man. P. R. 11..

The membership, which was but 80 in the fall, has increased until ' now there are 217 students allied with the Association. Many social functions and regular bi-monthly meetings which have been well attended have been held througOUt the vear. Last summer. Stout was represented at the National Lake Geneva Conference, and the girls returned, determined to make this vear of V. . C. A. work mean something to the school, and to send a large delega- tion to the Conference next year. The entire cabinet was ready to co- operate, and to do whatever it felt necessary for the benefit of the Associa- tion. The entire membership have received enthusiasticallv the plans for the work as proposed by the Cabinet and have worked faithfully through- out the vear. I he Faculty are willing and have assisted greatly in the work accomplished.

The Candlelight Recognition Service was held on October 3, when the new members united with the Association. The local V. V. C. A. Patronesses showed their interest by pleasingly entertaining all Home I conomics students at tea at their homes. At this time, the Association was visited by the Field Secretary, Miss Richardson. Other events of the fall were the Candy Sale given by the Finance Committee, and the Thanksgiving Baby Party which provided entertainment for those re- maining in the city during the vacation. Later the Association entertained the Patronesses at tea in the Masonic Club Rooms.

A Valentine ' s Da Candy Sale was held which added $54.58 to the Geneva Fund. The :1 Committee worked faithfully and brought before the public on February 25 the Jubilee Pageant, or Girls of Yesterday and Today.

Miss Lli abeth Sheldon talked the matter over with Mr. Buxton, and. as a result, the Stout Bible Class was formed with a membership of ninety-seven girls with Mr. Buxton as teacher. The object of the class is Bible study. Christian culture, social intercourse, and friendly sen ice. The subjects taken up tor discussion and study have been Christian ethics. Moulton ' s Literature of the Bible, (neat Characters of the Bible, and. at the present time. Student Standards of Action. The class has undertaken various benevolent enterprises: such as sending groceries to needy families, and once a month the girls gather ther for a social good time. Mr. Buxton ' s talks are a source of great inspiration, and a help to every one: they have given us a bigger ami a broader conception of life than we had before. Last fall the class became affiliated with the V. W. C. A. F. H. J.. 17.

Stout Bible Class was organized in September, 1915. by ■ ■ Mr. J. T. Gregerson. The purpose of the organization is two-fold: First, to provide a Bible class for Stout students; and second, to provide socials and entertainment tor them. Aside from having its regular class session each Sunday morning, the class has bi-monthly meetings. These meetings are of two types; one a social gathering, and the other a literary meeting. These meetings have served their purpose, the spirit of fellowship having been developed. Every one is made to feel at home and become one of us. Owing to the rousing meetings the class has nearly doubled in size since its organization. ARP l HI. TEED HOSIG rREGONINC FREEMAN THOMA LOW RDS COLE i s UK CRE1 N CHAMBERS KLA! WATSON HINTZ VINCENT!

The third week of school saw the old recruits rher with an abundance of new material eager to begin the work of the year. It was not until the evening of the tryouts that real rivalry com- menced. Although no John McCormick or Titta Rurto material was available, Mr. Gregg together with Miss Fannie Olson as accompanist started the boys oft with a number of pleasing four-part songs. With two rehearsals a week the club kept their advancement a secret, until one bright Wednesday afternoon at school assembly the student body received a mere taste of what was in store for them later. Interest was also added to the program the afternoon Governor Philipp spoke to the school, by the (dee Club ' s rendering two numbers. The boys have en- joyed singing at several outside functions for which too much cannot be said in praise of the club and Professor Gregg for their work. STANTON FEIS1 DOCKAR MclNTOSH MASSE .

I le reached for the paper rack and absent-mindedly took off the first paper that he touched. The paper proved to be The Minneapolis Tribune of the part of the United States where he had previously gone to school: Stout Institute of Menomonie. Wis., a short ride from Minneapolis. With a feeling of home interest he eagerly scanned the pages of that ancient paper and noted the names of several old schoolmates. Page after page he read and finally came to the sporting news. There in bold t pc .. v he read: STOUT HO I. I)S HAM- I. INI TO AM-i.TIK. There were other items of interest, but he wasn ' t ready to read them just yet. Oh Bob. ' he called a friend. Stout held I lamline to a tie at Menomonie. day before yester- day. Some good old school there, eh? 1 mi bet. Saj . diil you ever see or hear of a school of its si e that hail so much athletic materia I Icrbcrt ! RiBht End Kcllcrman. Right Guard ? They have no paid coach there, you know. and. really, it is surprising that they have a team that can hold that I lamline bunch to a tie. It sure is. Let ' s see. who were the Student Coaches there the year we attended? If I remember rightly there were three of them, and the job they had on their hands to whip a team into shape was certainly a big one. Don ' t you remember those three big fellows. Big Schott. Hager. and Frogner, who were holdovers of the year before? They did the coaching, and they with Bradshaw were the only men from the year before that l.iiui Ki were left, around which to build a team to uphold the athletic honors of the school. You remember that in order to discover the ability of the new material, they conceived the novel idea of playing a Junior-Senior dame? 1 low did that game come out? It has been so long ago I don ' t exactly remember. That ' s queer that you don ' t remember how our Jun- iors whipped your Senior team b a 6-0 score. Of course. you remember how Sipple played that old M. II. S. take of sending the backfield around right end and then went around left c u all alone with the ball. He got within striking distance of the goal and then Frogner went over for a touchdown. What was the first real game of the season? With I lamline. And that game came just two weeks after t h e Junior-Senior game. The Student Coaches had the bunch working in the lot across from the Vnnex until almost dark on the nights that we hail to practice, which as I remember were very tew. That was one of the great handi- f caps to athletics in it. We only had two nights per week to practice and then from about 4:30 to ; :30. The Coaches could hardly be blamed for working us so hard, for the games at home were few, and the people in Menomonie as well as the students never stopped to think of the material that we had or the time that we had to practice: they merely judged the team by games lost and won. I know that we didn ' t set the world afire by our Y -side of the Athletic Ledger, but you ' ll admit that there are bigger and better things to be derived from all athletics than merely the winning of games. But, how did that game come out with I lamline? I do remember that you played two games that year with Hamline due to some team ' s cancelling on us at the eleventh hour? The first game that we played with Hamline. we JiffiS Loyd Backer. Sub Mail found as we had expected, that they had built all their plays around their All-State Halt-hack Timm. and I also know that those three Coaches spent some time coaching us how t stop that fellow. I le certainly was some man. and I can vouch for that, for he hit me a time or two. and I hore the marks of that game for a couple of weeks. But, we watched him. and sure enough, their Coach, Baird. hail all their plays built around him. They ' d run him until he was out of wind: then they would run some one else to give him time to get it hack again. We held them, for their over-contidence hurt their playing a little. They couldn ' t do anything with us until the last quarter when Timm d,id finally get away for a beautiful 2? yard run and then, when we expected them to run Timm again, they fooled us and executed a for- ward pass: but at that the man barely got I. across the line. Timm d . r kicked goal and brought their count to f v h 7. We were a pretty green bunch then, not having played together before, and Carl Hiiucr. Left I .Kklc we considered ourselves extremely lucky to get out of it with i «L Ar.hur Tew , I Luurcn Spraguc. only one touchdown scored against us. u y OU certainly did well, though. I don ' t remember much about S t u t ' s game that year, for so many of them were played away from home. Was it that year that Stout got such an awful trimming away from home? Right the first time, we did get an awful trimming from the Carleton team at Xorthrield. Minn., and it was the next game. too. A few of our men, because of in- juries, were out of the lineup in every game except the first. We knew that Carleton had some team, but we didn ' t have any idea that they would be so strong as they really were. They outweighed us about 1  pounds to the man. and what they did to us was a shame. We held them tor about 6 or 8 minutes and then they began. I [70 J JiiNcnh Blum, I.cft think that they had an adding machine to keep track of the score. It is all strange to me yet. how they scored so many times: I was sort of bewildered all through the game, and I guess that it came from the intricate plays that they pulled rather than from the numerous touchdowns that they scored against us. You Stout fellows that didn ' t have to play against that stockyard of beet couldn ' t see how we came to be trampled into the earth that deep: but had you seen the way they played, you would have thought that bunch in- vincible. Well, that ' s the first time I heard that story: the school as a whole rather surmised that Carle- ton had a good team, but nobody ever told us that side of it at all. What was the next game: ' The next game is one that al- ways gives me a pain whenever I think of it now: we just toyed with that bunch and made gains almost whenever we wanted to; but the Stout Team had s o m e- how ' or other got it into their heads that the) had to hold or tackle every man that came their way. and as a result we were penalized 160 yards. We got within striking distance of the goal a number of times, and then we would be penalized for hold- ing. 1 low does it come that, if you made yardage whenever you wanted to. that they scored on you: and who was the team? ' It was the River Falls Normal Team, and one of their touchdowns came as a result of a muddy Held, for when we were forced to punt on the fourth down, our center passed the ball over Big Schott ' s head, and they got the ball very near to the goal line. With the Normal ' s smelling vic- ryl BrauShllW. Su ictur Sipplc. Oujrur 1711 J Olson. Right Tackle ton they came at us hard and succeeded in shoving the hall across. They kicked goal and made their side r the scoreboard read ' 7 They scored an- other touchdown by means of a forward pass. We weren ' t looking for it. because the held was so mud- dy, and with a wet hall forward passing was very uncertain. They had one of those happy turns of fate that comes to many football teams, and the ball went straight to its destination and a touchdown. Duln ' t you play them two games that year? 1 -e-s. we did;, sure we did. They sent their second team down to Stout with three first-string men in their lineup. They required us to keep Erd- litz, Frogner, and Big Schott on the side lines until the final period. The rest of the First Team and a few of the Second Team succeeded iti scoring two touchdowns in the first three quarters. Then the three men who had been barred, went in and the team as a whole played with re- newed spirit and scored another touchdown and time prevented them scoring another. The final score was Whom did you play next: We played Hamline at Menomo- nie. Oh. yes. I remember now. I saw that game. Gee! it certainly was a corker. Hamline came down to Menomonie and according to the story told by one of their own men. they expected to have an easy time. You fellows seemed to know their style of play for you stopped almost every one. I remember that I imm and Philips got away several times for several nice long runs, but they didn ' t result in anything. Say, but didn ' t we come awfully close to scoring when Olson carried the ball to Ham- line ' s two-yard line and then. — you fellows, even with the smell of victory in your nostrils, couldn ' t carry the ball those measly 2 yards in four downs. It might as well have been two miles, as far as you were concerned, for you simply couldn ' t perform the feat. Hamline lost Wrlliam Lamt Clifford Miller. Suh ( .u;trj I 72 a fine chance to score when one of their fellows received a perfectly exe- cuted forward pass high over the heads of the Stout men and then he dropped it. Gosh! I thought that my heart was coming out when I saw that hall going and saw that man there alone. How we howled when we saw him drop it. Time was called soon after, and the game ended 0-0. It was hard luck. We had two cancelled games that year, and it was pretty hard on some of the fellows, for they needed one game at least in order to win their letter. The Keewatin Academy cancelled on us be- cause thev guaranteed to come for a certain sum of money, and later found that it would cost considerable more than they hail figured. We got Hamline in their place. ' and the fellows didn ' t loose out on that game: hut when the Minnesota Aggies cancelled the day before their game, it made some of the fellows pretty sore. We thought that they were afraid of us. for Hamline took them to a pretty trimming. They gave their reason as being that the rain had washed their new field all to pieces, and when the basketball team played the Aggies up there later in the year, they found out that it was just as they hail told us. Who won the official ' S ' that year besides Big Schott, I lager. I rogner, and Bradshaw? Those four got two stars, signifying that they had played on the S team for two years and made the S both years. The rest of the squad that got the S were Lampert. who was elected Captain for the next vear ' s team, Olson, Kellerman, Blum. Sipple, Erdlitz, Becker. Tews. Miller. W hus.

Captain I915- ' 16 The 1915-16 Season Y I 11 the tirst call tor basketball came during the tirst week in Dc- cembcr, a large number of men responded. The material looked promising ami went to work almost at once under the leadership of Coach J. G. Schott. Five letter men of the year before remained, and the si opened with a rOS) outlook. The first test came when Stout met the St. Croix County All-Stars, who were heralded as work! beaters. Stout expected to win by a narrow margin, if at all. The final score of 68 to 10 in our favor tells how near the All- Stars lived up to their advance notices. Mauch produced an avalanche of baskets, looping the ball thirteen times during the tray: V. Sipple and Big Schott were tied tor second honors, each caging six baskets. As a pre- liminary to this game the Seniors defeated the Juniors 25 to 15. Becker made six baskets tor the Seniors, and Watson made three tor the Juniors. The hardest fought and best played game of the season came when Stout met the University of Minnesota team on its own floor. This game was made possible, because Hamline cancelled both games scheduled with us. The University Team had nothing on us aside from being acquainted with the large floor upon which the game was played. The U. expected a practice game, but found a surprise awaiting them. The final score was 20 to 10. Toward the end of the game when the Stout Team, who were unused to such a large floor, ran out of endurance, the University Team made four baskets and thus won the game. Just before the Christmas holidays, the team made a rather disastrous trip resulting in the loss of two games. The men were in a very poor condition for a trip, but the games were scheduled and had to be played. Most of the team had a good touch of the grippe. The game with the Winona Y. M. C. A. at Winona was characterized by all the known methods of football. The final score was 31 to 16. The game with the Luther College Team at Decorah. Iowa, was fast and fiercely fought. The floor was small, and Stout s team work couldn ' t get in action. The final score was 21 to 13. Every one of the men voiced the sentiment that there was no disgrace losing to a team like that. ' The Stout Team celebrated its return to school after the holidays by- scoring a victory over the fast St. Paul College of Law Team by a score ot . to 13. I he Seniors again defeated the Juniors 15 to 11 as a pre- liminary. Frogner ' s ability to throw fouls won the game for the Seniors. The following week-end. January 14 and 15. the Stout First Team and the Stout Seniors made a trip. The First Team met the River Falls Normal and the Minnesota Aggies. The Seniors met the River Falls Second Team and the St. Croix Count) All-Stars, who played the initial contest of the season with the Stout Team. HI A1LRIT 1 KH I WUM-.RT J G SCHOTT HACER M v. I ! SIPPLE I 77] The Double-Header with the River Falls Teams were both character- ized by the inability of the Stout Teams to locate the basket. As it was. the Normal Teams won both games; the Normal Seconds won by a score of 22 to 16, and the Normal Firsts won by a score of 36 to 17. Stout came back the next night and swamped the Aggies, winning by a score of 47 to 7. All of the Stout men took part in the scoring, Lampert leading with a total of eight baskets. The Seniors were not quite so fortunate, losing to the All-Stars on a small Hoor by a score of 26 to 15. The game with the Fan Claire Y. M. C. A. was played before the smallest crowd of the season. The score see-sawed back and forth until the middle of the second half, when the Stout learn took a scoring streak, tossed six or seven baskets in quick succession, and stowed the game away. ( )n February 4. the River Falls Normal Teams played return games lure, and again succeeded in wrestling a double victory from the Stout Teams. The Stout Seniors lost by a score of 19 to 7, and the Stout Firsts by a score of 36 to 16. When the Minnesota Aggies played a return game on the home floor, the locals lived up to their expectations by swamping the Farmers by a score of 61 to 12. As a preliminary game the Juniors won from Elk Mound by a score ot 30 to 18. New combe scored seven baskets for the Juniors. Carletbn College of Northfield, Minn., was the attraction here the following Friday night. Carleton holds the college championship of Minnesota, and the audience saw where they got their claim. Carleton won by a score of 19 to 10. The game was extremely fast at all stages. It was anybody ' s game until the final whistle blew. As a preliminary two Stout (iirls ' Teams played Volley Ball. The Blacks scored two con- secutive victories over the Reds by scores of 21 to 18. and 21 to 1 . On the last trip of the season Stout met the St. Paul College of I aw Team on its own Hoor. The game was slow and very lifeless. The Lawyers were exceedingly fortunate with their long shots which won the game for them. The final score was 29 to 26. Stout took part in the City Tournament and lost out by the narrowest margin. The High experienced considerable difficulty in winning from the Aggies 7 to 6 in an extra five-minute period. Stout, with four Juniors in its lineup, easily held the Aggies to no baskets and made the final score- read 13 to 2 in Stout ' s favor. The last period between the High and Stout was a rather rough, but a fast and interesting game. It took an extra five-minute period to decide this game which the I ligh School suc- ceeded in winning by a score of 9 to 7. Stout has but two letter men remaining to build up a team for next ear. but there is a wealth of material in the present Junior class, ami with the new additions of next year she should have an excellent team, live men won the official ' S They were: Mauch. Lampert. H. A. Schott, Hager, and Sipple. Demerit won the monogram. [71 I The 1916 Base Ball Season PHE baseball season opened with all indications pointing to a successful one. In scanning the list of eligible Coaches. Mr. Rodgers stood eminently forth. He accepted the position and entered with a will and spirit that is characteristic of all his undertakings. This is one of the many reasons win a successful season is looked for. At a meeting called by the Coach, some thirty followers of the Na- tional pastime turned out. The men were assigned work in the gym- nasium under the track coach, who applied his treatment to the men in order that they develop the speed and endurance necessary to carry on the sport properly. The batteries. also worked out in the Armory at noons, as early as February, in order to get their arms in condition. Seven men who held regular positions on last year ' s team turned out ready to contribute to a successful team for this year: they were Messrs. Becker, Benjamin, Blum, Fieldseth, Fryltlund, Nordstrom, and Erdlitz. The schedule includes a Junior-Senior game, two games with River Falls Normal, and one with St. Thomas. There is an open date for a fourth game. With the material at hand under our competent Coach, there is no reason whv baseball should not be successful this vear at S ' P )l I The X. W. W. I. A. A. Basket Ball Tournament THE Fourth Annual Northwestern Wisconsin Interscholastic Basket- ball Tournament was held in the Co. H. Armors on March 16. 17. and 18. I his Tournament has been growing every year, until this year the biggest and best Tournament ever held here was staged. For the past two years the ' Tournament has been held under the auspices of The Stout Athletic Association, and has hail the undivided Cooperation of the town people and business men. All of the work in- volved in the preparation of the Armory, thirty-two-page programs, and all other incidentals requisite to a successful tournament has been done by the Stout students, aided by the High School students. Menomonie High won tirst place and the five gold medals, together with the plaque. Ashland took second and the live silver medals. Eau Claire took third and the rive bronze medals. Cumberland took fourth, while Stanley took the cup for appearance and conduct. Messrs. Waldron and Haskins of the Minnesota University were the officials. I virtue of winning tirst and second places. Menomonie and Ashland won the right to represent this district at the Appleton ' Tournament, held there March 30, 31. and April 1st. Menomonie lost to the State Cham- pions the tirst day by the narrow margin of four points, while Ashland was rather badly defeated by Ion du lac. 1 leres hoping that the Tournament of next year will be even more successful than that of 1916. [7 1 Officers of Stout Girls ' Hikers ' Club tBBTH Bi President Elinors I- Treasurer UMAX Secret an The Girl Hikers Pi IK (iirl Hikers ' Club was organized early in the history of The Stout ■ Institute with a membership of nine. It had a small beginning but a steady growth, until today it has an enrollment of forty girls. lmost as soon as school opened in the tall of 1915, there was a demand for the reorganization of the Ciirl Hikers. All of the old mem- ■ were ready and anxious to again join ranks, bringing with them many new members. The object of this club is to present an opportunity to the Domestic ice department to get exercise in the open air. The mileage was placed at one-hundred: this distance was to be covered during the school year. The hikes were to be taken in groups of not less than four and were to consist of not less than seven miles each. The hikes were scheduled for Saturday morning, especially if the hike was a long one. Occasionally a short tramp was taken at the close of school in the afternoons. The rirst hike scheduled was a trip to Irvington, a distance of seven miles. This was taken easily, and from this the distance was gradually Girl HiKers increased until notice was received of a fourteen-mile walk which was ceived with a smile instead oi a groan. This year the Club incorporated a much needed rule into its constitu- tion, and this rule reads: ' person, in order to be a member, must be a ' walking member ' and not merely a paying member. This insures a membership of those who are interested in all the activities that accompany an organization of this kind. About 25 girls will walk the required l ,m miles this sear. Not wishing to confine their efforts to hiking alone, the members have made it a point to push athletics of all forms. The) haw sold tickets tor Stout Athletic Contests, have done advertising work, and tried to create a spirit of appreciation among the Stout girls as to what the teams were trying to do. The object or arousing and maintaining school spirit, as related to Athletics, was and should continue to be one of the hardest pushed purposes of the Girl Hikers ' Club. R. C. ' 16.

The hikes included trips to the towns in the vicinity of Menomonie such as: Eau Claire, Knapp. Cedar Falls. Downsville. Weston, and Elk Mound. The Eau Claire trip has been made rive times this season in good time. for the party generally leaves Menomonie at five in the morning, arriving in E ' .au Claire at noon: this allows a stop in Elk Mound for a late break- fast. The Knapp hike has been made only a couple of times. The first hike there this season was a long-to-be-remembered one, as the party turned south instead of north at the crossroads, traveling twenty miles l U j j)oy Hihers to go a twelve-mile distance. Cedar Falls, the ever popular hike, has been made less this year than in previous years because longer hikes have been taken. Downsville came to the front this year as a place to go. tor it is eighteen miles round trip, which is considered about right. Elk Mound always means eats, for there the fellows indulge in a late breakfast on the way to l.au Claire. This year the hikers have assisted the Athletic Association by pa- trolling the side lines at the football games and selling tickets to athletic events. The feature of this season is the awarding of a special Hiker ' s mono- gram for a record of 200 miles for the season. The pleasant trips have been filled with development for the members. H. L.

As far as we know. no group of Seniors this year has had more pride in their work than the trade dressmaking section. The Trade Dressmaking Department is intended to train girls for work in continuation and trade schools. The class works under actual trade shop conditions. Customers from among the faculty women order gowns which the girls design, draft and make under the supervision of Miss Kricson, the department ' s able instructor. Since the girls work on different problems varying from make-overs cning gowns and suits, they gain a much wider experience in drafting and dressmaking than can be ottered in the regular courses. If any one doubts the true value of the work, ask any member of the section si from the tallest one among us down to little lone Strowig, the class mascot.

With the instruction ami practical training given in these departments, the graduates are able to command good wages at once, and to become skilled workmen in a short time after completing the course of instruction in the school. It is not claimed that the completion of the work in the school will entirely take the place of practical experience in the trade, so necessary tor the skilled mechanic; but that this course of instruction, when mastered, will shorten the time required for full mastery of the trade, and give that knowledge which determines the best trade processes and practice, anil which can be obtained in no other wav.

IN we are heartily greeted by the Stout Student body ami Faculty • through the medium of this volume. This salutation actuates in us a mental departure from our present environment, and we find ourselves in a brief interval of reminiscence of our own school days at Stout. Per- chance the last Bickering embers of interest in Alma Mater are once more fanned into a glow that portrays in better light the possibilities for closer relationship. Environment at Stout changes from year to year with the rapid growth of the school — as is evident from a glance through the school publications from time to time. This condition renders it difficult for the Alumnus to maintain a close relationship with the existing school and the student body, though it should necessitate more intent contact or even intimacy with these institutions if a mutual relationship is to be fostered. Whv should Stout alumni endeavor, at their inconvenience, to strive for a closer union with the Alma Mater? The benefits to be der from a continued relationship with Stout after graduation arc obviously manifold. For example, practicing the new ideas developed at The In- stitute will enable us to progress in accordance with modern tendencies and demands. Our success establishes a reputation for the school, and that record, in turn, creates an increasing demand each year for Stout graduat- ing students. We are surely familiar with the more sentimental and tradi- tional significance of ' Alma Mater. Though the ideal relationship with the existing school would be through personal contact with students and faculty during the regular school session, it is impossible for the great majority of alumni to make the sacrifices that such visits would occasion. It has often been SUggi that, like most universities and colleges, we might hold an annual 1 Lome- coming. Without even an organization of the alumni body such an event does not seem feasible. It remains for us. then, to keep in touch with the ever-growing and prospering school through small organized groups of alumni, through attendance at summer sessions, and through the medium of school publications. especialh the weekly Stoutonia. The Stout Annual, and the Stout Bulletins. The Annual Board and the Alumni Editor extend their hearty appre- ciation to the alumni contributors, to The 1916 Stout Annual for their ready and prompt co-operation. The future of this alumni department is dependent upon the attitude ami co-operation of every alumnus. To insure an interesting and live alumni section the contribution of articles must be more general, and material must be submitted earl . Otto E. Brunkow, ' 13. [ iw J Western Pastimes M H fciwy nPI IE Polytechnic Institute is situ- • ■ ated about three miles north- west of Billings in a ranching com- munity. To the north of us rises a run of rocks nearly three hun- dred feet high, and hack of that. tor fifty miles, stretches a vast strip of country consisting of plains ami coulies, and then a low ridge of mountains breaks into view. To our south ami west lies about five hun- dred Square miles of the most fertile valley in Montana. At the head of the valley, ami about one hundred miles from the school, is a range of snow-capped mountains which shows up very beautifully in the early morn- ings ami at sundown. Running through the valley ami among the moun- tains is the Yellowstone River. Shortly after arriving at the school I was asked to take a horse-hack ride of about thirty miles. One of the students who at one time was a rancher and a cattle owner hail a job of riding for the government for the purpose of daily inspecting one of the irrigating ditches of which there are a number in the valley. At sunrise one Saturday morning we saddled our horses and dashed off the campus on the jump. Just about the same- time that we started the wind from the west commenced blowing, and continued at a terrific gale all day. At noon we put up at a ranch about fifteen miles up the valley. Immediately after dinner we commenced our return trip. Long before we hail completed the first half of the ride, I w;is feeling as though I hail had a plenty; but by the time we jogged up to the barn at night. I was barely able to dismount and hobble to my rooms. There have been some trips this winter of which I shall give a brief description. Because of the great amount of snow, the jack-rabbit hunting was fairly good. Another member of the faculty and myself started out one day right after dinner, and although we never were out of sight of the school and not gone later than five o ' clock, we had succeeded in getting si . He carried a twelve-gauge six-shooting shot gun: while I had a Winchester rifle of the 30-30 caliber. Another Saturday we started out to the northwest across the flats and coulies mentioned in the first of my story. Late in the afternoon as we •ered a bee- ions were .w...« H ... ....w,,,. u ... uiv in wi m jiui . uaic in uic .iiieinoo were tramping up through a deep and rocky coulie. we discovere tree.

It had snowed considerably more, and we now went on skiis which were a great aid. There were so many coulies which look so much alike that we lost our bear- ings and failed to locate the tree until the sun was nearly down. When we had chopped the tree down, cut it open and removed the honey, of which there was about thirty pounds, it was getting dark and we had that ten miles to make- through a blinding snow-storm driven in a terrific wind. Nevertheless, we made the return trip and landed the honey at home all sate. Polytechnic, Montana. W ILLACE H. COMSTOCK. 1 5. The Application of Evening School Cooking to Home Practice TI II . aim of the cooking course in the 1 a Crosse Evening School is to give the students such a knowledge of the principles of cookery as will enable them to cook for an average family, supplying wholesome food, and avoiding monotony with as little- cost as possible: and. incidentally, to give them a slight knowledge of food values and the rules of serving in order that they may serve proper combinations attractively. It is the plan each night to have the lesson a unit in itself. The attendance is irregular. members coming and going so that satisfac- tory work can not be obtained from the sequence of lessons to meet the needs of the pupils. The unit consists in giving an entire meal each night, breakfast, luncheon or dinner. The class is divided into groups ot two. each two girls preparing the complete meal, sufficient for two people. I he I he Skn wen I 16 I class begins at 6: 15 p. m. and dismisses at 8: 30 p. m.; and the girls com- ing from work are required to prepare their own luncheon or dinner, and are through before evening activities begin. The object for giving the complete meal is as follows: — The girls at- tending are those wishing to learn as much cooking in as short time as possible, so that they may enter homelife and make efficient homemakers. In their homes they must prepare on an average three meals a day: so it is deemed advisable to give them what they must do in their homes. The object of these meals is to teach the girls to work quickly and accurately, and still produce good results. It also teaches them the com- bination of foods and the time for preparing and cooking foods so that the finished product mav be ready to serve at the stated time. ( )nly enough theory work is given to aid in the application of some fundamental principle which is given in the simplest terms. For example: — Instead of giving the scientific terms carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; the terms potatoes, eggs, and lard are substituted. Each girl is taught to use her own judgment as far as possible. I he meal unit has been critized in that girls must work so rapidly that they do not learn to do their work well. In the home there are too main household activities to spend two hours in making one product; therefore they must be taught to economize time, steps and labor. Some people learn to cook one food well in a given period, but cannot make three or tour dishes well in the same time, simply because they have not been taught the management of work. The lessons are as inexpensive as entire vegetable or meat lessons: because vegetable, meat ami desserts are combined giving an entire meal instead of preparing several kinds of vegetables in one lesson. The plan of the work is to start with the breakfast, little time being devoted to this. Two kinds are given, one for a man of sedative habits, the other tor a man of active habits: thus a comparison of the foods served is made. The value of fruits and cereals is also emphasized. I he luncheon is simple, giving as many left over and meat substitute dishes as possible. With the lighter meal a heavier dessert is given, for example: Creamed potatoes, cheese souffle, chocolate bread pudding with foam sauce. The dinner is planned to bring in a good potato dish, then either an extra vegetable dish, or a simple salad. The cheaper cuts of meat are prepared to make them tender and palatable, although the use of a good cut of meat is emphasized at least once a week. A simpler dessert is brought in with the heavier meal, for example: Scalloped potatoes, but- tered peas, veal birds, apple tapioca and ginger snaps. In the case of veal birds, a cheap cut of round steak was substituted for veal. The meals are simple and inexpensive, and by immediately applying the lesson, the elevation of co oking to its highest standard is realized. Miss Ki.i.a Cronk, Evening School Instructor. La C rosse. Wisconsin. r i6i] The Berry School A BOl I thirteen years ago Miss Martha Berry started a small log cabin • school for the purpose of helping a few ignorant poor boys of her neighborhood to get an education. Her school kept growing until now it has acquired tour thousand acres of land and about thirty buildings. The school is an industrial Christian school, and is one of the two lead- ing schools of the south. It is open to all country boys unable to attend any other school. They must be at least sixteen years of age with good morals and with a readiness to work. I hese boys are given an opportunity to work most of their way through school by working two daYs a week, and by going to school four days . In the summer they can stay and help earn their tuition for the coming fall term. Some boys stay the year round, and work so as to have earned enough to pay their way for two years. All of the work in the institution is done by the boys. Laundry, bakery, cookery, hospital, janitor, farm, cannery, lumber yard, store, post- office, and all building construction works are done by the boys. Each department has a foreman or teacher as the case ma be. In the winter term, the school begins at 7: a. m. and closes at 5:30 p. m.: and in summer it opens at 6: ii ;l- m . an d closes at 7 :3 '  p. m. This means long hours and also hard work, but the boys are so enthusiastic over an op- portunity to get an education, that these factors do not hinder tl progress. The ages of these young men range from sixteen years to thirty-five years, and. as a rule, they have had very little, if any. education at all. Some know very little as to weights and measures and a tew can- not write. I ' hey are launched on the very simplest of elementary work, and are advanced until they graduate either from the primary grades or from the high school. To some boys it is their home, having been at the school for ten years, earning their entire livelihood by manual labor around the institution. Their schooling is divided into two divisions: the academic and the industrial. I nder the academic department they are given the regular primary and secondary educational sub : n in most schools. They are also given sight singing. Bible study, chorus leading, glee club singing. public speaking, and instrumental music. In the industrial department they are given cooking, canning, laundering, joinery, carpentry, bricklay- ing, gardening, forging, mill work, cabinet making, farm mechanics, prac- tical farming, and dairying. All of the industrial work h bearing on rural necessities as most of these boys go back to the mountains and are teachers or leaders in the education of those who are unable to attend even The Berry School. It must be remembered that the rural and moun- tainous districts of the south are decidedly lacking in educational facilities, as they have not yet been built up since the Civil War. f i ' The southern schools are tar behind those of the north: the teachers ' salaries arc very small: the work is hard: the hours are long: but the experience is well worth two years, if not a life ' s time to any professional teacher. Mount Berry, Georgia. HERBERT LUNDER, ' IS. Industrial Education in the Iron Country Tl IE mining ranges in northern Minnesota are queer mixtures of Europe • and America, for the greater per cent of this population is of for birth, people who have left their native countries very recently, and there- fore they are in immediate need of Americanizing inHuences. These inHuences are being very ably supplied by the excellent schools for which this section of the country has always been noted. The Industrial Branches of these schools are of a most important nature: no expense or care has been spared in teaching practical trades and in training these for- eign people to be able to earn a living and to cope with ways and means which are entirely new to them. Not only do the schools offer extensive courses to the school children, but Industrial Work is also given to men and women in night school classes. Here mav be found nourishing classes in both Domestic Science and Manual Training. I feel that in such foreign populated places as the mining ranges. In- dustrial Education has one of its most important fields, and I am most gratified to note that The Stout Institute graduates are teaching in the majority of range schools. 1 Iere ' s hoping they may continue to uphold the name of Stout more staunchly every year. ,..,, ... Miss Fi.oki.nc i Thorne. Gilbert, Minnesota. Industrial Work at Crystal Falls, Michigan Ml CI I has been said about the magnificent school buildings and equip- ments of schools in mining towns. This city has proved to be no ption to the general rule, for its school buildings and equipment would do justice to any large city. The site upon which the High School and Forest Park School is built is second to none, and the school grounds cover an area of thirty acres. Part of this is taken up by the two aforemen- tioned buildings with their well kept grounds. These buildings are 17 feet apart, and are connected by an underground tunnel which greatly facilitates the passing of pupils from one building to the other. To the south and within a stone ' s throw from these buildings is the athletic field with its large grandstand and bleachers. This is also school property. e, during the winter months, the great numbers who enjoy skating find iod ice rink. There are also two heated rooms with an attendant in charge where those who do not exercise enough to keep warm may find a ..- 1 comforting tire. The school grounds to the west of the Forest Park School are used as a park. This consists of a grove of maples, covering about fifteen acres: in this park is a tennis court, which, in its season, is certainly appreciated. The readiness with which money is given for educa- il purposes tends to show the attitude of mind of the patrons and porters of the schools, and their conviction that only the best is what is wanted. The manual training department which now is in the Forest Park School has grown rapidly during the last feu years from the ' little room in the basement stage with one instructor, to its present state which takes up the greater part of the first Hoor of this large building, and has a large wood shop with adjoining office, locker and store-room and tool-room, a drawing room, a carpentry shop, a bricklaying shop, and a room each for wood finishing and exhibition purposes. Last year saw the introduction of trades work into the school curricu- lum, the first being Carpentry and Bricklaying. These have proved to be very successful in many respects: they are given to the High School Students ami are elective. The time given to them is ninety minutes per day tor forty weeks. In correlation with the carpentry course is given a course in Architectural Drafting which covers constructive features and simple house plans. Each shop is equipped for twelve pupils, and the classes have been full at all times. Such has been the success of these two trades that the Board of Education is planning to add another in- structor to our present force and have Plumbing introduced. Although at present this trades ' work is given to the I ligh School students only, our ultimate aim is to reach the boys who leave school upon or before - pleting the eighth grade. In the print A can be seen some of the problems given the boys. The house-front on the right is lathed and plastered, and the hardwood Hoor and all interior trim put in and finished. The problem on the left is a dove-cot made by the class for Mr. Y. I). I [ill, — our superintendent. I his dove-cot has two Hoors and an attic. There are four rooms on each Hoor and each room has a separate opening with a glass door. There is also a glass door in each gable. A ventilation Hue runs up through the center of the house and by this means each room is thoroughly ventilated. I he front ami the rear have glass sideSi and two larger glass doors are made for each end so that the whole can be closed up. and the doves still be permitted the use of the platforms. The roof is covered with four- pi) roofing, and the cot is painted white. The whole makes a splendid and highly interesting problem for the hoys. The front of the house shown in the center is under construction. The bricklaying class laid the piers upon which the structure rests. The boys work in crews, and the course is SO arranged that each crew gets a chance to do a part of everything that is done. In print B can he seen some of the work done by the bricklayers. Speed exercises are given from time to time, and the records of time and number of brick laid, are kept. The boys exert themselves to the utmost to take the lead ami competition is keen. n i i- II m- i 1 lEN ' RY J. I 1 wsi v Crystal I- alls, Michigan. J Greetings from La Crosse, Wisconsin March. 1916. Dear . liimni: It is with great pleasure that I extend to you the best wishes and regards of the Stout bunch ol this city, comprised of E. A. Peart. 111. Thomas. C. I). Brower. A. R. Mitchell. C. I. Krickson. and the writer. As. no doubt, most ol you know from articles in previous an- nuals the force is divided as follows: C. I. Krickson. North Side Junior High, woodwork ami drawing; A. R. Mitchell. South Side Junior High, drawing and woodwork; E. A. Peart. Supervisor of Manual Training. Instructor of wood-turning. High School: F. H. Thomas. Instructor of metal work, foundry, pattern making. High School: C. I). Brower. In- structor in cabinet making and Sophomore drafting; the writer. Instructor of Freshmen drafting, machine and architectural drafting. High School, also South Side Junior High, woodwork and drawing: ( ). V. Meyers of Bradley Institute. South Side Junior High, woodwork and drawing. The Junior I ligh plan as worked out in this city will eventually elimi- nate what is called Manual Training (M. T.) I. or Freshmen Mechanical Drawing. The work in the 5th and 6th grades has been abandoned and the quality and quantity of work in the 7th and 8th grades increased in such proportions as to bring about the aforementioned advance in the first year of high school work. T ' .ach grade school equipped with an M. T. shop is recognized as a Junior 1 ligh M. T. Center using the name of the school: that is. Junior High School. Lincoln Center. Adjustable draw- ing boards have been made for use on the benches: they are held in place by clamping in the vise, are removed, folded up. and put away underneath each bench when woodwork is started. Ten weeks of drawing precede- ten weeks of woodwork, comprising a semester of twenty weeks. No large projects are attempted as a rule in the grade classes. The period is one hour and ten minutes in length, and most of the shops accommodate twenty-four benches. Thus tar the plan has worked very satisfactorily. The entire force have at one time or another branched into the in- dustrial school work through teaching night school classes. The wood- work class holds up as well as any on account of the interest the students take in making projects for themselves. The drawing classes have been difficult to keep up to required percentage of attendance, due to more than one reason. The experience anil training gained therefrom has in many cases proved of value in the regular work. There are great opportunities open to any young man who desires to enter this Held of work, and especial- ly to those with both practical ami technical knowledge of certain subjects. The name of The Stout Institute is well known here, ami each year Sees a number of high school students from here enter at Menomonie to take up courses there. The establishment of a four-year course with a degree as contemplated, would, to my mind, be the means of not only raising the standard of work produced b graduates, but also of reforming in the minds of school boards ami directors, the desire so lacking now in too many cases, that of hiring for a certain position the young man or woman who will come for the least money, regardless of the training or preparation behind them. Preparedness ' should count for as much in education ami training for the teaching profession as in war. The young man or woman who is prepared, does not always secure the first position nor the best — but in the end. results are far in advance. I he growth of the school is a great source of satisfaction and in: t those of us now out in the field of life: and even in two years, a com- paratively short time, opportunities for preparation are being off which were not thought of possibly when the most of this bunch were students at Stout.

It is neither a large nor beautiful spot to look upon, because it is shorn of all gorgeous or harmonious colorings, and occupies no more space than a large picture; it even lacks a magnificent setting. In fact, it is adorned in the most somber of colors and often is devoid of any interest whatsoever, 1 ct, greatly to the surprise of visitors, hundreds ol girla stand and gaze at this spot two or three times during the dav. Some- times they flock there in large numbers, and gaze for a long time with intent interest; other times (inly one or two come together, and merely glance at it. The peculiar part of it is, however, that they always stop there, no matter how hurried they seem to be. before they climb the long flight of stairs to the third floor. It has caused the formation of one of the most important habits which the jirls are commanded to cultivate during their two years course here. Do you recall the spot? Altho not a sectarian school, most people at Stout are Universalists. The M. T. students are drawing up plans for a new church — and the H.

Piles of books were stacked upon the table, and loose papers were lying around OH the floor and chairs. She was so intensclj absorbed in her writing, and so fcvcrishlv searching in first one book, then another, and hurriedly writing a tew words from each, that she did not hear me enter. I quietly seated myself in the background, and watched the pro- ceedings with awe and astonishment. Soon, there issued a long, deep siyh, that seemed to come from the verj depths of her being. This was immediately fol- lowed b) wild gyrations in the air, and muttcrin s. and strange, inarticulate sounds. I was able to distin- guish one word from the mumbling, which sounded like Custard (with a decidedK heavy, thunderous ac- cent on the first s liable). While madlx waving her arms, her hands at last fell upon her hair, which she unconsciouslx grasped and jerked impatiently. Finally, she arose, gave one long, comfortable stretch and yawned, gathered up the loose papers, and hur- riedly put them in the drawer as if she could not get them out of her sight quickl) enough. When she became aware of my presence. I asked the cause of all the excitement and the worried, haunted look upon her face. I discovered she had been writing her first lesson plan on custards.

Always within her there had been an intense longing to know how to stitch, and always with each determined attempt had come deep despair and utter discouragement. Disdainfully she ordered well-meaning, would-be assistants au ay, and sitting down with flushed cheeks, firm chin and a do it or die expression, would proceed to stitch. Perhaps for three stitches she held her breath and watched the needle with fascinated eyes. Then a jerk — a snap — and the thread was broken. Why couldn ' t she pedal evenly, and why did the old wheel make that tantalizing backward turn occasionally? She would stiffen and courageously start again. One — two — snap! Something suspiciously like tears would roll down Marion ' s indignant cheeks, but she threaded her needle and renewed her efforts. Maybe the thread again broke, or it knotted into a hopeless tangle; at any rate, Marion would sorrowfully arise, gather up her work and close the machine. Repeatedly this happened, but, when Marion realized that at last she had succeeded thru her perseverance, a happier girl could not be found than she. t IH.
