t o h ave th e adv ant ages of

, N NOVEMBER , 1889, the public spirited c1t1zens of Mexico, Missouri , under the leadership of the late Governor Charles H. Hardin , founder of Hardin College, donated sixteen thousand dollars and a beautiful campus of twenty acres of land for the purpose of establishing a militar y school. The enterprise was intrus ted t o Colonel A. F. Fleet, afterwards Superintendent of Culver Militar y Academ y, who contributed largely of his own means and erected , west of the cit y , buildings adapted to the sp ecial purposes of thorough mental and ph ysical training.

The sch ool grew rapidl y in public fa v or, placing upon its rolls rep r esent a ti ves from e ve r y congressional district in Nlissouri , and from twenty o th e r s tat es , until th e fa ll o f 1896, when the buildings were totall y destro y ed by fire.

In th e sp ring of 1900 , after a !ape of four y ears , the Business Nlen 's Association o f Mex ico , des iring t o take up the questi on of re-establishing the Academy, req u es t ed a co n fe ren ce w ith C o lonel A. K. Yancey, who for twelve y ears had been th e s u ccessful p res id e nt o f Hardin College, and C o lonel \1/. D. Fonville , for seventeen y ea rs th e su pe rint end ent and propri e tor of Alabama lvlilitary Institute . The confere nc e result ed in a n ag reement to rebuild th e Academ y on plans submitted by C o lon e ls Y ance y a nd F c n v ille , in v olving e n iffmediate expenditure of fifty thousand d oll a rs , t o which additions were to be made from time to time as the ex igencies of th e sch oo l sh o uld de m a nd.

The c iti zen s o f N iexico don a ted ten thousand d o llars to the new enterprise, thus manife s ting a lacdable i:ublic s p irit as well as an inspiring confidence in the abilit y of the me n in charg e President Yancey and Superintendent Fcnville furni s hed th e requisit e mone y to complete 11ft y thousand dollars , purchased an elegant blue-gras s ca m p us in the eastern suburbs of the cit y , and b eg a n the co nstruction of the ne w Academ y abo ut the first o f June 1900.

The sc hool began its n e w career with the good will and cordi a l endors em ent of the rr: cst distinguished educators, di v ines and staternxn of the middle west.

On the twentieth of September, 1900, the d o ors of the new Ac a dem y were thrown open for th e reception of students The attendance fro m the start exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the school"s best fri e nds. In this first session of the new Academy ,cadets representing the best people , came from not .,, less than ele ven states.

In 1901 the school sustained a very severe loss in the death of Colonel Yance y . Later , Colonel Fonville purchased the interest formerly owned by Colonel Yancey and became the proprietor of the Academ y . To meet the demands of an increasing attendance, additional barracks and class rooms were constructed , and the chemical and physical laboratories were enlarged and provided with better equipment.

In 19 I I, Colonel Fonville retired from the active presidency of the Academy and was succeeded by Colonel W . R . Kohr , who remained in charge for three years.

In 1914, Colonel E. Y. Burton was unanimousl y elected president of the Academy, and the school at once entered upon a new e ra of prosperity and usefulness. The session just closed has , in every respect , been one of the most satisfactory in the history of the institution.

Under the present management , the enrollment has increased 300 per cent. Yearly, the efficiency , the standing, and the equipment have become greater.

Buildings and Equipment

,.....iiiiiiii.,.HE buildings are new and modern in design and equipment. As the photographs show, the y were built for military school purposes. The main building is used for administration purposes, ch ape l, parlors, dining room and the President 's and the Commandant s quarters A, B , C and D Barracks are dormitories for th e b oys, and contain , as well, the sect ion rooms. The buildings are constructed of brick , covered w ith metal , heated b y steam, and li ghted b y e lectricity.

NE\\-' BUILDING Owing t o th e remarkable growth of the school , a new barracks BARRACKS "A" was abso lute l y essent ia l to take care of the increased enrollment. Accordingl y, during the summer of 1917 , a strictly fireproof brick building was constructed. This building is three stories in height and m ode rn in eve r y respect Each Aoo r is p rov ided wi th the finest bathroom fixtures

HOSPITAL The Acade m y is provided with a well equipped h ospi tal l arge enough to accommodate fort y bo ys at o n e tim e. Th e build in g is modern and the rooms are all ou t side rooms , br ig ht , che e rful a nd wel l ve ntil ated, with abundant sunlight. In fac t , our hosp it a l acco mmodatio n s are in keepi ng wi th our equipment in general , and are bett e r than ca n be fo und in ot h er similar sc h oo ls in the Middle \ 1/est.

In this manner we are enabled to pay cl ose a ttenti o n t o th e cadets. 'vVe a lways notify th e parents promptl y when a bo y is at all serio us ly s ick . This is done to prevent needless anxiet y, and parents ma y a lways rest ass ure d that their bo ys are receiving proper care and attention . In case of seri o us sickness , the cadets so affected ma y be taken to our Cit y H osp ital. ivlex ico is well eq uipp ed with the best of general practitioners and s urge ons, and has just completed a n ew hosp it a l costing about $150 ,000 00

CARE OF HEAL TH

Each morning , i mm edia tel y b efo re breakfast, the sick roll is made up. At this ti me note is m ade of the physical condition of the bo ys. Should a cadet at a n y time appear t o need the at t e nti on of the ph ys ician or nurse , he immediatel y reports to the hospital, where his needs are attended. Should a cadet be found sick, he is put t o b ed in the h ospita l. Th is secures for him proper attention and excuses him from all duty.

ATHLETIC FIELD

The ath let ic fi e ld is loca t ed in the n o rth eas t pa rt of the campus and is as good as ca n be fo un d in th e sta t e. The bas e ball d iam ond is a lmost pe r fect. T h e c in de r track is o n e-fo urth of a mile in length. Ther e are a ls o five new un de r-drain ed t enni s co urt s o n the ca m p us , whi ch were resur faced durin g the pas t ye ar and a re no w the equa l of t h e best city co urts .

COWS Our Holstein herd of cows is under the supervision of the United States D epa rtment of Agriculture , a nd is kept free of tubercu losis. This h erd suppli es yo ur boys the best of cream and milk. \Ve also serve the best of creamery butter instead of oleomargine . If no milk were served, and oleomarga rine u sed in stead of butter, there would be a saving to us of over $6,000.00 per year.

MEALS The meal s are first-class in every respect, and only high grade good5 are us ed It is recogni zed that good work cannot be expected of boys unless an abundant and appetizing diet is supplied to them. The food is varied and no effo rt spa red to make it palatable and attractive to the boys. \1/ e be! ieve that we serve better mea ls than man y schools , and know that we give each cadet all that he shou ld eat.

HOME LIFE \Ve la y particu lar stress upon the home life of the cadet, for we believe that nothing is too good for your bo y, and wish to have such a school th a t the most earnest mother ma y feel perfectly content in entrusting her boy to o ur care. Cadets a re constantly under the refined and elevating influences of a faculty of college-bred men. The wife of the President and the wives of the married instructors make the social life of the Academy more like that of a home.

,,r:o symi:athize with them and can see things as students see them. Teaching is ffore than the mere di~seminaticn of knowledge. Oliver Wendell Holmes was a great teacher, not becm.:se of his wcnderful erudition, but because he got close to his classes He was a Big Brother to his students.

Cur l:arracks a r e divided into secticr:s with a teacher in charge of each section, whose duty , as well as whose pleasure, it is to keep in close touch with the cadets in his care. He is not a "Sherlock H olmes" to watch every movement, but he is an ever-ready friend who stands prepared to help when h e lp is wanted or is necessary . In oth er words, he is a Big Brother to a number of younger brothers, and leads by precept and example. Part of our success in keeping boys contented and happy we attribute to this method. There is an excel lent spirit among the cadets and practical ly no friction between them and their teachers. \Ve know that we saved some bo ys during the past y ear from leaping into trouble by a few kind , brotherly wo rds spoken at the right time. Think what this means to the boy as well as to you , the parent. Incalculable is the value of the Big Brother Plan, the applied kindness method .

The longer a cadet remains with us the more he realizes that what the school does is fo r his good. In other words, he becomes ed uc ated to the Big Brother method. o ne of th e big things at IV!. IV!. A.

But t h ose cla ys h ave passed , and with them ha ve gon e the und es irable ideals and inst ituti ons to which th ey gave rise . In th e ir stead are sc hoo ls which mark the world ' s utm ost advance in ph y sical , mental and moral trainin g. This swift change in militar y schoo ls h as arisen , as has been noted , o ut of the sa n e r conception of the psycho logy of b oy hood whi ch cha r acter izes th e militar y sch oo ls of t h e present cla y It h as res ult ed in a r ea rrangement o f p edagogical m e th ods u po n trul , scientific lines . I t h as ca u sed the discarding o f obsolete theories , a nd the substi tuti o n of a regime that co nforms to t h e facts in boy n ature.

l t is true th at this m oveme nt has been practically uni ve rsa ! throughout the schoo l s ystems of A merica ; but it is not too mu ch to declare that it has been led , and toda y finds its hi ghest exponent , in t h e modern militar y school.

The regulation of sch oo l a thl e tics ha s been found a wonderful means t o securing d isc ip lin e in the milit ary sc hoo l. . io lo nge r is the student pe rmitt ed to use the gym n as ium at wi ll. No h aphazard p la y is perrnitted in field o r o n track. E v erythin g of this so rt is done accordi n g to o r de r , und e r the pe rsona l s uper v ision o f an instructor. This ins truct o r is a lso , a n d a lways , a leader in th e sport.

T hi s automatically acting, negative so rt of pu nis hment for dereliction of duty fairl y represe nts the a ttitud e of the modern mil it a r y school upon th e matt~r of student disciplin e. It is assumed, in the begi nnin g , th at the boy is r ight and wis hes to do right. Participation in schoo l athl etics is made a sort of r eward for doi n g the ri g ht thing- for normal li v in g. Any depart ur e from norrnality is made to bring i ts ow n retr ib uti on- light, but in evi t ab le. It h as been found that the certainty of t h e penalty, fa r more t han any severity that may be imposed, retards any t endency toward wrong-doing . It ca n not be denied moreover that und e r th is s ys tem th e moral sensibilities of the boy are far less apt' to fa ll and' the fibe r of h is self-respect to r ~la~ . The e len! en t of pers~mal humiliation is se dul o us ly e limin ated from a ll pena lti es im posed during the bo ys atte ndan ce at a m o dern mili ta r y school.

but h eld in one d ir ectio n it speeds the bu ll et to the m ark To thi s comp ul sory app li cation of his energ ies to des ir ab le achieve ment is attr ibuted mu ch of that superior it y of scho lars h ip and phys ique, which d istinguish the average militar y sch oo l a lumnus.

In the average comm unity, three lu xur ies of modern li fe militate powerfu ll y aga inst the scho lastic adva ncement of th e boy of military sch oo l age . The te leph o ne , th e a utomob il e a nd th e moving picture show nullify, to a deg r ee in compre h e n s ib le t o the average parent, the constr u cti ve inAu en ce o f the ordi n a r y sc h oo l.

The boy atte n di ng a p u b li c o r parochial school, and l ivi n g at home , m ay m ea n to devote hi s evenings to h ard s tud y . He may tak e hi s books home wit h him , with eve r y se ri o u s intenti on to spend his eve nings w it h th e m . But a t e lep h o n e ca ll informs him that his ··crowd " is go ing for an automob il e ride-o r to a moving picture show.

The boy is n o t to b lame. H e is a boy ; it is his "crowd" that ca ll s-a crowd w ith whom he is justl y po pular ; his mother is thoroughl y sympat h et ic ; the joy-ride , or the movie s how , is an a ttraction in it se l f. The net result is that h e spends the evening with his "crowd" a nd his lesso ns o n the morrow bear w itn ess to th e fact.

A t the m ode rn militar y schoo l such a n event wo uld be abso lut e ly impossib le. Here th e boy's evening b e lo ngs to him . It is dedicated to study and t o r ec reati on acco rding t o a wise p lan , which enables him to ex tract from its eve r y minute the maximum of both pro fit and p leas ure .

The ratio of instructo rs to student in the modern militar y traini ng schoo l is a lw ays ve r y la rg e C lasses of 10 to 15 are r ega rded as full. E ve r y bo y r ec ites ever y lesson eve ry clay. The ove rAowi ng class room of the ordi n ar y schoo l is here unkno wn.

To thi s fact is clue much of the s tronger person a lit y of the milit ary schoo l graduate ; for it re l ieves class room work of a large measure of its u s u a l m echa ni ca l dullness , a nd e licits t o a much greater degree the pe rsona l e leme n t in a ll recitations.

Besides th e m ode rn m ilitar y schoo l instructor is alwa ys a spec ial ist . No instructor is regarded as qua lified for a position in a sc hoo l of thi s character unless h e can bring t o hi s work no t o nl y exhaustive in for mation , but irrepressible e nthusiasm. H e must possess the facu lt y of e ngaging the atten ti o n and e nli s tin g th e l iv liest inte rest of his students T hi s hold s good not on ly in class roo m , b ut upon the p layground and in the gym na si um as we ll. The whole atmosph ere of th e modern military schoo l is o ne of bubb l ing interest

I f m enti o n has no t been made of th e moral training afforded in s u ch schools , it is n ot because th is phase of th e bo y 's trainin g is l ight ly va lu ed h ere , o r ne glec ted ; but rather it might be reser ved for spec ia l emphas is fol lowi n g co nsid erat ion of other phases of hi s schoo l life. The truth is that n ow h e re- n ot even in sec t a rian institu-

tions of the mos t pronounced t ype- is m o re e m phas is p laced upo n t h ese esse ntials of moral a nd re ligi o us training which s h o uld fo rm the basis of eve ry e duc a tional sys t e m .

The strictest morality is e njoin ed in eve r y phase o f t h e sc hoo l li fe . The grea t , basic truths upo n which good lives a re fo unded, and b y which tru e nobilit y of character is squared , a re inculcated at ever y turn Th ey are tau g ht b y precept and exa mpl e, and are forced in the Ii fe of th e student b y the great pl a n of th e sc h oo l.

AFTER A LO N G MARCIi

B ut years of experie n ce in the sc hoo l business hav e t a ught us that one-half of these boys were among th e brightest in th ei r school. This would seem to upset th e preva iling idea that a boy wh o does n ot succeed in school will not succeed in life. T h ere are man y and good reasons, however , why th e man who is a failure in life may have been a good student in his yo uth. Take a n average boy fo r a n example. He is act ive, bright, fo nd of o utd oo r life, loves to be m ov ing abo ut , possibly is a good athlete. Being an average bo y, hi s work in hi s lesso n s is satisfactory. But there comes a time, us u a ll y between the ages of fou rteen a nd seve nt een , when the boy begins to fee l ou t o f place with hi s s urro un d in gs. H e m ay be in a school where a large percentage of the stude nts a re girls, or ma y h ave a lady t eac her who does not understand hi s make-up , o r the teacher may be han d icapped by t oo man y pupils, At a n y rat e, the b oy rea li zes that something is wro ng ; possibly, he is told that his girl classmates a re ge t t ing ahead of him in his s tudies The b oy knows in a vague way that he is n o t being adjus t ed to fit somewhere in life . H e knows that all his teacher ca res about him is his show ing in the reports. He must come up to a certain standard o n a ll subjects , n o matter h ow unfit h e is m e nt a ll y to master s o me of them. But his inclin ation means no thin g t o hi s automatic t eache r : it does to the bo y. He rea li zes that unl ess he is adj ust ed to his capabilities he will be a failure in life He

n eve r ca n pass th a t examination in R o m a n Histor y, French or Drawing ; also he feels that for him it is a was t e of t ime t o drag along any mor e. The outdoor life ca ll s him ; he longs to be awa y from the b o re o f lessons h e cannot understand , studies whi ch h e knows wi ll n eve r be of a n y ben e fit to him. H e becomes discouraged, wa nts to drop out of schoo l ; h e is n o t spurred on b y h is t ea cher ; he is not encouraged b y his parents , a n d the resul t is he leaves sch oo l.

In ver y man y cases he ma y be told b y his father that, since he would not sta y in sch oo l, h e can hu st le fo r himse lf. H e finds hims e lf poorl y equipped to earn a li ving at that age . Th en h e is thrown up o n the la nd , another untrained boy, a disheartened y out h , who , as a man , is to be a failure . F o r every place , from that which th e labore r fills in th e fac t o r y to that of th e professional man , demands a specialized adj u s tm ent R athe r than be condemned these b oys should b e pitied. lvlan y a father , in the rush of hi s business , dep ri ves hi s son of th a t careful attention which he so much needs a t the high schoo l age .

BENEFITS In this connection, it is desired to quote extracts from the order under the direction of which the Military Department operates. This order is sign ed by the Secretary of War: "All subjects should be so taught that the student sha ll become capable of clear, quick thinking, shall acquire th e power of analysis a nd shou ld h ave a facult y of concise, logical expression." "The following characteristics of an officer and gentleman, which are included in a proper disciplinary training, s h o uld be insisted upo n : Neatness in dress , cultivation of the manners and habits of a gentleman , dignified military bearing, loya lty, truthfulness, punctuality, kindliness , ea rnes tn ess of purpose and devotion to duty, the cultivation in the student b ody of esp rit-d e-co rps obedience to orders, acceptance of responsibility and avoidance of excuses . "

This sound doctrine of training in the basic principles of good and useful citizenship speaks for itself.

Genera l Order No. 9, \Var Department, February 17 , 1920, makes provision for four bi-monthly inspections by a staff representative of the Department, which inspections are for the purpose of insuring and carrying out the \Var Department po li cy of tr a ining

At this time :ve all li ve ?~tdoors a nd ~nj 0y to the rul lest extent the l ife in the open.

FORMATION OF CHARACTER

Military education engenders habits of self-reliance and selfdependence which are so essential to success. Here the cadet is trained to rel y upon his own efforts to a very great extent, so th at in after life he is more of ten a leader than a follower. Then there are the h ab its of neatness and punctuality. A military school is the best place for a boy who is leavi ng home for the first time Accustomed at home to having all his wants looked after, his room cared for, all his clothing put away, he is in need of a school whe r e he mu st care for all his personal property himself. Ever y morning he must police his own room , must have his shoes shined at every formation, and must be in his p lace on th e line at the last n ote of the bugle. He cannot help learning habits o f neatness and p unctualit y.

DISCIPLINE

Ever y boy needs careful , s y mpathetic lead e rship a nd _ sys t ematic trainina , especiall y that one who h as not learned obedi e nce o r has grown headstrong and indifferent from n egl ect or from bad ass oc iations. The prope r place for such is in a school where th e men in authorit y hav e m a d e b oys a s tud y- who can conmrnnd their obedience and respect , and giv e them aid and sy mp a th y of th e right kind.

The best discipline is that which effects the best ph ys ical , m e ntal and m o ral results with the least friction and in th e shortest time. It is th e ide a o f the in experienced that the harder th e rules o f school and th e seve r~r th e p uni s hme n t t h e b e tter the discipline. This is simpl y puerile and dangerous . No harm , but grea t goo d is accomplished if the weakness of boys can be corrected without severe m e thods

Respect, confidence and the highest obedience ma y thus be ins p ired , while ro u g h handling is often irritating to the proud spirit and ma y driv e t o r eb e lli o n and desp eration.

\Ve endeavor, therefore, to avoid the common error in the training of bo ys Schools too often make the mistake of substituting disciplin e and ro utin e for pers o n a l guidance, treating bo ys either in the mass or emphasi z ing t oo strongl y the indi v idu a l. We make the boy understand that we hold him respo ns ibl e fo r o b edi e nce. W e believe in his having a "good time ·· when he has earn ed it

TOBACCO The use of tobacco in a n y o f its forms is p ositivel y fo rbid de n

ABSENCES F~per ience is a great teac he r. We , as school men , ha ve learned many _ t\1mgs abo ut the handling of bo ys th at can be lea rned onl y by exp eri e nce . 'vVe disapprove of leaves of absence to cade ts to v is it th ei r homes at o th e r th a n r egular v a c at io n time 'vVe know that s u ch v isits foste r a spirit of restlessness , espec ia ll y in the case of the h omesick boy. Absence from a s ingl e rec it a ti on interfe r es se ri o usl y wit h a cadet's wo rk.

H ow e v er , we hav e also le a rn ed that some parents will insi st o n hav ing th e ir boys w ith th e m o ccas ionall y, i f possible, th e r efore , furloughs may be granted to cade t s from a ft e r work on Frida y , October 3 1st, 1924 , until time fo r work on 1\/Ionda y, Nove mb e r 3rd , 1924 , a n d the last week-end of February, 1925 , for a similar pe ri od to v is it th e ir parents o r fri e nds , provided-

] . A Cadet h a s made a passing g rade in all of hi s studies th e week prev ious t o ela t e o f f url o ugh , and is in good standing with r espect to d iscip line.

2 . A request for leave was made by parent, or guardian di rect to th e President a n d n o t through the cadet.

The abo v e regulations apply particu la rl y t o cadets li ving in Chicago, St. Louis , K a n sas Cit y, Columbia , Jefferson City, H anniba l, a nd o th er n ear-b y t ow ns. Cadets li v ing at a distance ma y be granted n ot more than one furlough a t e rm for a length of time sufficient to permit them two cla ys at home.

Cadets returning later than the exp ira~ion of their leaves of ~bsence will be punished , unless they obtain fro1,11 the, ~res1den_t_ an. extension of t1111e _before the expirat ion of original leaves , and, 111 acld_1t1on, th e11 parents mus t m ake w ritt e n statements that they were una vo idabl y de~amed. .

We hope our patrons will appr_eciate our efforts to _ mamt a m a hi gh sta nd a rd of scholarship and co-operate with us m successfully carrymg out th e p l an o f ed uc a ting the boys.

Occasionall y a request is received for a cadet to be allowed t o w ith draw a few days before a vacation or the close of sch oo l. This is a n irregul a rit y which is ve ry unfortunate in its results. Each cadet should be in his place until the l ast exercise is over. No cadet can drop out without interfering with the exercises. Unless each one is in his place an injustice is done both to the school and to the other cadets.

STUDY HALL The aim of the Study Hall is to effect a proper adjustment of ·the boy in his school work. It is not only a place for the boy t o study and to recei ve supervision and h e lp in his work, but also, and essentially, it is a place for the ps ychological study of the bo y. f n the Study Hall we deal only w ith the boy who has difficulty in some branch of his work. The education"l'of boys calls for special attention to met hods of effecting individual adjustment. The Study Hall represents o ur efforts t o achieve this. Here the student and his problems are han dled directl y in response to th e needs of the student as an individual.

DEBATING ft is recognized that the ability to express one·s self forcibly before an audience is always a great advantage to young rnen . An opportunity for training in this work is given b y means of debates in the class rooms and in inter-school contests.

PIANO

Our aim is to la y a good foundation for beginners, to develop further· the technique of advanced students, to understand the composer's musical idea and to develop the individuality of each student.

VOICE This department has been created for those who desire individual training in voice, ear and sight reading. The course entitles the student to two lessons per week.

GLEE CLUB

The Glee Club is an organization open to those who have some sense of harmony and rhythm and can learn to carry a part. The P<?ssession of an extra good voice and the ability to read at sight are not required but are strong assets. Membership in the Club is free to all.

ORCHESTRA

THE SCHOOL Throughout the year the cadets edit and pub li sh a paper. "T he PAPER M. Ivl. A. Eagle , which in appearance and lit erary finish compares quite favorably with the best of othe r simila r pub li cations. In this paper local happenings are n oted and subjects of interest to the schoo l are discussed. Each boy has t he oppo rtunit y of seeing the results of his literar y endeavors in print. While a member of th e faculty has general supervision over the paper, it is distinctly a student publication .

DRA:'IIATIC CLUB

LITERARY \1/ith the exception of the daily class room work, t~ere is n o activity SOCIETY in the school that will prove to be of more practical benefit to the student than participation in a well organized and properly conducted literary society. To replace a former organization of this kind, Alpha Rho has been created, and is conducted under a constitution adopted by the cadets. Membership is open to any cadet, and he maintains membership as long as he exerts earnest effort for the best interest of the society. Attention in the work is concentrated upon public reading, declamation and dramatics. The highest standards are maintained as set forth by the best eastern universities . The membership is large , ~nd all the work is under the personal supervision of an instructor. E v ery cadet m our school has ample opportunity to gain experience in the field of actina before an audience, which is invaluable to him . 0

DANCING

Realizing the importance of dancing as an accorr~plishrnent in P_0 ~ite society, the Academy has arranged to give instruction to those des1 rmg it. Dances are given at the Academy throughout the year. \Ve respect the v1e\~S of those patrons who do not believe in dancing. Consequently, every cadet 1s required to present permission from home.

SOCIAL FEATURES

The social side of the cadet's life receives due attention. A part of every young man's education should be preparation to take his place in the social world. He must have the ability to meet his fellow-man when he goes out into the world in ·such a way as to reflect credit upon himself and his associates Many opportunities are offered whereby he may become at ease in the presence of strangers

Military receptions are given annually, and here he meets the best people of l\'lexico and forms many friendships which are a benefit to him throughout life. In addition to this, Hardin College for \Vomen gives two receptions each year , and there are numerous social gatherings in the city to which the cadets are alway s welcome. Cadets have the privilege of calling upon young ladies in Mexico and at Hardin College, after approval, by the school authorities

This practice , in o ur op in io n , be longs t o the D ark Ages.

'N PURSUANCE of our policy of a well-rounclecl education, we lay particular stress on physical development. A y oµth 's success in school depends quite as much upon the health of • his bod y as upon the state of his mind. The student has need of greater strength and health of body than the artisan, •-~..:.=~2:::~• because mental work is severely exacting and physically exhaustive. It is necessary, therefore, that he keep his body in the best p ossible condition. As stated before, our military training has this for its chief aim. But if we depended solely upon drill, very little progress would be mad e, for it would become irksome and the cadet would soon tire of it , thus defeating one of the chief aims of the school-to stimulate the interest of the yo ung man. Hence we have well organized departments of athletics and gymnastics.

PHYSICAL TRAINING

track , tenni s,

All cadets are r equired to spen d at least two periods per week in som e fo rm of supe r vised a thl etics-footba ll , baseba ll , basketba ll. sw immin g, b ox in g, wres t ling o r golf.

VARSITY BACK FIELD MEN

There is a prevalent idea that participation in athletics makes the cadet an inferior student. Our experience, however, has demonstrated forcibly the error of this belief, for our best athletes have been almost without exception our best students . Hence we have made athletics a very important feature of this school. Besides the unquestionable physical advantages accruing from athletic training , the •cadet also derives those very important lessons-perserverance, self-control , selfreliance, and ability to think and to act quickly . But athletics improperly governed sometimes work more harm than good . In this school all the athletics are under the direct supervision of the faculty. The students have nothing whatever to do with the management of this department No cadet may take part in athletics unless he maintains a certain average in his class work. At no time is team practice or any work of an athletic nature allowed to interfere with the study and recitation of the cadets. Second and third teams in each sport have their own coaches just as the varsity teams . Even the grade school boys have their own coach.

FOOTBALL On the theor)' that the benefits of football outweigh its objectionable features, and that the latter may be mimimized or wholly removed by proper supervision, this game is encouraged at the Academy. Excellent facilities for the sport are provided and skillful and judicious coaches are employed. Great care is exercised in the matter of arranging schedules of games, and cadets are not permitted to enter into contests out of their class

BASKETBALL Our court affords ample opportunity for the enjoyment of this popular sport. The court is . in use constantly during the recre~tion period of the winter months. Inter-class and company contests are interesting, and furnish · good practice as well as exercise. An excellent schedule is played each season with conference and non- conference teams :

BASEBALL Our baseball diamond affords opportunity for the enjoyment of this popular game, for the diamond is one of the very best in the state At least two teams are organized each season, and their schedules include games with each other. In addition to conference games, we usually schedule a few games with colleges.

M M . A . VARSITY SQUAD

THE PANTHERS

THE HAWKS

TRACK This is one branch of athletics where competition is unlimited , for track teams are not confined to any certain number of men The sport i~ wholesome and we recommend that all cadets not interested in other branches of ·athletics report for running practice dail y.

TROPHIES

TENNIS Like track , tennis is excellent recreation for all cadets. The school has five fine courts, which are always occupied during the playing seasons In the fall and spring, tournaments are held in which any cadet rnay enter. Matches are also played with other school teams , and a conference tournament is an annual affair.

Lower School

CAPT. JOY KISTLER, P rin cipa l

Owing to the urgent and increasing demand by our patrons, who wis~1ed_ to send their you nger boys to the lvfissour i Military Academy, and the applrcat1ons for entrance by others who had heard of our school , we orga nized , a few years ago, The Department of the Lower School. The successful co-ordina,t ion of the scholastic and military features of the school has made it possible for us to adequately take care of the boys of the grade school age.

The crowded conditions in the public schools throughout the country render it i;npossible ·for an individual to receive the special attention which is needed. The public school teacher has crowded into her day altogether too many youngsters for her to successfully meet the demands of the individual. It is not the teacher's fault that the pupils receive litt le, if any, personal attention. It is a physical impossibility for the teacher to give persol).al attention to members of the classes in a public school. We are able to give the individual attention because we limit our classes and we give each cadet the advantages of a tutor without extra charge . It is our business to educate the boy and we do all that is possible to bring out the best results.

The fact that we can take the boy when h e is in the grade school and follow him throughout his high school years makes for a better educated young man. He has

(W rite for special tuition rates for boys under twelve. See page 112 for statement o f genera l expenses.)

been tutored and taken care of b y men who know how to handle bo ys and men wl'.o are interested in each individual problem. The boy really becomes part of our big family, and grows up with it . His problems, both in and out of the class_ roo m , are the problems of the instructor. The instructor is both teacher and Big ~r~ther.

The boy of the grade school age likes to be taught by a man. In fact, this is the age when he thinks more about being a man than at any other period of his life. He idolizes a real red-blooded young man and this makes it p ossible for us to do grea~er things for the boy than the public school. The little fellow is also in contact with older boys, who feel that they have a responsibility for the younger boy. They are the Big Brothers to the Lower School boys and they help make the lives of these chaps very pleasant. We firmly believe that it is best for the little fellows to associate with a high type red-blooded American boy , so characteristic of the Missouri Military Academy.

The boys of the Lo\~er School respond to the military feature of our school like soldiers. They take thei.r places m the battalion along with the other boy s. Of course, for certam formations an~ classes of their work, they form a company of their own and as such become a very vital part of the whole institution. We supply the grade school boys_ with c·oaches, who look after their physical development .. The L?wer Sch<?~l has its o"".'n teams and they meet the local public school teams m ath~~tic competitio~. The little fellow is taught to be a good sportsman and to always play th e game hard and clean. The intruction they receive in

co m pet i t ive games is invaluab le t o th em in their preparation for the bigger things of life. T h ~se boys are th e men of t o m o rrow and their ab ilit y to p lay a good clean game as boys w ill better fit th e m for useful c iti ze nship .
