In 1901 the schoo l sustained a very severe loss in the death of Colonel Yancey. Later, Col o nel Fonville purchased the interest forme rl y owned by Colonel Yancey and became the proprietor o f the Academ y . To meet th e demands of an increasing attendance, additional barracks and class rooms were constructed , and the chemica l and physical laboratories were enla rg ed and provided with bette r equipmen t.

In 1911, Colonel Fonvil le ret ired from the active presidenc y of the Academy and was succeeded by Colonel W. R Kohr, who remained in charge fo r three yea rs.

In 1914, C o lonel E. Y Burton was un animous ly e lected p r esident of the Academy, and the school at once en tered upon a new area of prosperity a n d u sefulness . The session just closed has , in every respect, been o n e of the m ost satisfactory in th e history of the institution.

Under the present management , the enrollment has increased 300 per cent Yearl y, the efficiency, the standing, and the eq ui pment have b eco m e greate r.

Buildings and Equipment

r'-iiiiliiiii._.HE buildings are new a nd mod e rn in design and equipment As the p h o t og r ap hs show, they were built fo r military school purposes. The main b uild ing is used for administration p u rposes, chapel, par lors , dining room and the President's a n d the Commandant's quarters. A, B, C a nd D Barracks are dormitories for th e bo ys, a nd contain, as wel l, the section roo ms The buildings a re constructed of br ick, covered with metal roof, heated b y steam, and light ed by e lectricity

NEW BUILDING Owi ng to th e r e mark ab le growth o f the school, a new barracks BARRACKS "A" was abso lu tely essentia l to take care of the increased enrollment. Ac cording l y , during the summer of 1917, a strictly fireproof br ick building was constructed. This buil d in g is three stories in height and m o der n in eve r y respect. Each flo o r is provided wit h the finest bathroom fixtures

ob t a in ab le. Lik e th e ot her barracks , this building is heated by steam and lighted by e le c tricit y A ll rooms are outside rooms and therefore assured of plenty of sunli g ht . On the first Aoor, in add iti o n t o t he class rooms, ther e are the new chemical a n d ph ys ica l labora t o ri es. In this building th ere are also ac commodations for two o f the m a rri ed m e mb ers o f th e faculty.

BARRACKS At the same tim e th e n ew barracks , called Barracks "A", was "B" and "C" under construction , extensive repa irs and improvements were made o n th e o ther buildings. New lavatories and shower baths were ins tall ed in Barracks s .. a n d --c··. Th ese buildings are ma d e of brick and co ve red w ith m eta l roofs , with th e added protection of brick fire- proof partitions between th e cadet rooms.

NEW BUILDING Th e increas ing popularity o f our school necessitated more barBARRACKS "D" r ac ks for th e a ccomm oda ti o n of boys applying for enrollment . Accord ingl y, during the summer of 1919, a n ew barracks was erected. The b uil di n g is of til e· s tucco construction, and insures the comfort and well-b e in g o f its occupa nts . It is pro v id ed with shower b a ths , is heated by steam and light e d by e lec tricit y A ll roo ms are outside rooms, insuring ample sunlight a n d vent il a ti o n .

THE GYMNASIUM

Reali z ing th e need o f a p lace for healthful rec reatio n d uring the winter mo nths , a gymnasium was erected in the fa ll of 1 9 14 The firs t Aoo r co nt a ins the n ew ! , equipped m a nu a l training room The m ai n floor, in addit ion t o be in g us ed for gymnasium pur po es a n d a bask e tba ll court , is converted in to a dri ll hall during inc lem ent o r co ld we athe r t co n ve ni ent times this plac e also becomes the home of e njo ab le dances , to wh ich o ung ladies from Hardin Col lege a nd from the best fa mili es in l\!lexic o are in v ited U1 stai rs are two larg e dressing rooms with showers a nd p lenty of s t ee l locke rs.

THE CHAPEL

The Chapel is located o n the second Aoo r of th e Administration Building. It is in this room that the facu it y and cadets meet each day. Devotional exercises are conducted in the dining room each morning before breakfast, and the Chapel meetings are devoted to the singi n g of patriotic and sch oo l songs, talks by the school author iti es and lect ures b y v isitors .

SWIMMING POOL

Connected with the Gym n asiu m there is a swimming pool, which occupies a space of twenty- two by sixty-five feet. A separate heating p lant has been installed for the p u rpose of heating the water and keeping the room at th e proper temperature. There are also shower baths and ample dressing-room facilities.

READING ROOM

This room is run in connection with the libr a r'.} and is always under th e direct supervision of a facult y officer . This room is amp l y prov id ed with the best of magazines and newspap ers. The following are constantly on file: A rm y and Navy J o urnal , Life, Youth's Companion , American Boy, Na ti o nal Geographic, System , Radio Broadcast , Collier s , Saturday Evening Post, Lit era r y Di ges t , World \,\!ork , A merican , Ph '.} sical Culture, Popular Nlechanics, Current Histor y, tvlotion Pi ct ure Magazine, H ea rst's International Cosmopolitan, University tv[issourian, Corr ect English , Scientific American , and Popular Science Monthly, together with Mexico , Chicago , St Louis and Kansas Cit y Dail y papers

CADET QUARTERS

We reali ze that th e rooms are the li v ing q uarters of the cadets for nine months of the year a n d we have tried to make them bright and cheerful. Th e rooms in a ll of th e barracks are exposed to direct sunlight, have at leas t one large window and are well ventilated. While ordinarily two cadets oc cupy o ne room , each has his own bed. The rooms are a ll furnished with beds, springs , mattress es, tables, chairs, dressers and wardrobes or closets.

QUARTERMASTER'S OFFICE

A room o n th e first floor of B a rr ac ks ··c·· is used by the Quarte rm as ter as an office and storeroom. The Quartermaste r is a Faculty Officer and the cadets may secure from him books, stationery, military equipment and such other articles as are carried in any good schoo l store. This department is maintain ed as a convenience for the cadets, and unl ess otherwise o rdered, bills for goods purchased b y them will be sent t o parents monthl y

Only n ecess a r y eq uipment and supplies will be charged on account without parents' perm1ss1on. Cadets desiring to purchase other than necessary articles carried by the Quartermaster, such as sweaters, Memory Books, etc., will be required to pay cas h or present a writt e n order from their parents authorizing them to charge same to their account.

HOSPITAL

i\lISS IIEDWIG HAFNER, R. N. In Charge of Ho s pital

The Academy is provided with a well equipped hospital large e n o ugh to accommodate forty boys at one time. The bui lding is modern and the rooms are all outside rooms , bright, chee rful and well ve ntil ated, with abundant sunlight. In fact, our hospital accommodations are in keepi ng with ou r equipment in general , and are better than can be fou nd in other simi lar schoo ls in the Middle West.

In this manner we are enabl ed to pay close a tt e nti o n to the cadets. We a hva ys notify the parents promptly when a boy is at a ll seriously sick . This is done to prevent needless anxiety, and parents may a lw ays r est assu red that their boys are receiving proper care and attention. In case of serious sickness, the cadets so affected may be taken to our Cit y Hospital. Mexico is well equipped with the best of general practitioners a nd surgeo ns , and has just completed a new h osp ital costing about $150,000.00.

CARE OF HEALTH

Each morni ng , immediatel y before breakfast, the sick roll is made up At this time note is made of the physical condition o f the boys. Should a cadet at any time appear to need the attention of the physician or nurs e, he immediately reports to the hospital, where his needs are attended. Should a cadet b e found sick, he is put to bed in the hospital. This secures for him proper attention and excuses him from all duty.

COWS Our herd of Holstein cows is under the supervision of the United States Department of Agriculture, and is kept free from tuberculosis . This herd supplies y our bo ys the best of cream and milk. We also serve the best of creamery butter instead of oleomargarine lf no milk were served , and oleomargarine used instead of butter, there would be a saving to us of over $6,000.00 per year.

MEALS The n1eals are first-class in every respect, and only high grade goods are used. It is recognized that good work cannot be expected of boys unless an abundant and appetizing diet is supplied to them. The food is varied and no effort spared to make it palatable and attractive to the boys . We believe that we serve better meals than many schools, and know that we give each cc1det all that he should eat

HOME LIFE \Ve lay particular stress upon the home life of the cadet, for we believe that nothing is too good for your boy, and wish to have such a school that the most earnest mother may feel perfectly content in entrusting her boy to our care. Cadets are 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,

You know of fathers who are chums with their sons , who make their b oys· pleasure their pleasure, who live near to th eir children , and you lik e those fathers. Perhaps you are such a father. We hope so. It is in just s u ch a sense that th e Big Brother Plan works. Our teac hers are li te ral ly churns and friends of the cadets, as well as instructors. Cadets a lwa ys feel at libert y to approach them on any reasonable subject and are assured an audience. Every bo y has his li ttle troubles and is lost if he does n ot have some syn1pathetic pe rso n with whom he can discuss them. At home this person is m ot her , father, o r an older brother; at school it must be the teacher, if anyone. This intimate contact a ll ows the instru ctor to study the bo y at close range , b u t perhaps its greatest advantage is the chance given the boy to st u dy the instructor.

Some ma y argue that this intim acy precludes discipli n e That view is ent irel y wrong. Abraham L incoln was a Big Brot h er to th e whole countr y, and yet h e was a lways in command. K indness does n ot mean looseness any more than strictness means h arshness The best teach ers are those who get close to the students , those

who sympathize with them and can see things as students see th em . Teaching is m o r e than the m e re dissemin at io n of knowledg e . O li ver \,Ye ndell Holmes was a great teacher , n ot because of his wonderful erudition, but because he got close to his cl asses. He was a Big Broth e r to his students.

O ur bar r ack s a re d iv ided in to sec tions with a teacher in charge of each section, wh ose duty , as we ll as whose pleasure, it is to ke ep in close touch with the cadets in his care. H e is n o t a Sherlock H o lrnes to watch e ve r y movement, but he is an eve r- r eady friend who s t a nd s p r epa red t o h e lp when help is wanted o r is necessary . In o ther wo rds , he is a Big Brother t o a numb e r o f yo unger brothers, and leads by precept a n d exa m p le. P a rt of o ur s uccess in k eep ing bo y s cont e nted and hap py we a ttribut e to this m et h od Th ere is a n exce ll e nt sp irit among the cadets and practica ll y n o fricti o n between th em a nd their t ea chers . \Ve kno w that we saved some boys d uring th e past year fr o m leaping into trouble by a few k ind , brotherly words spoken at the right tim e. Think what this means t o the bo y as well as to yo u , the parent. Inc a lcu lab le is th e va lu e of the Big Brother Plan , the applied k in dness metho d.

The lo nger a cadet r e m ai n s with us the more he re a li zes that what the school does is fo r his good . In o ther words, he b eco m es ed ucated t o th e Big Brother method, o ne of th e big things at Ivf. M. A.

M. M. A. Merit System

The M. M. A. idea o f Discipline is prac ti ca ll y a reversa l of t h at en t erta in ed a n d applied b y the ave rage sch oo l for boys- part ic ul a rl y of t h e milit a r y type. Yet n o t on l) is it bas ed o n unquesti o n ab ly so un d psycho logy ; but, as e m p loyed in M isso uri Militar y Academ y at least, it is abso lut e ly justifi ed by its res u lts.

Our Merit S ystem rewards in stead of p uni sh in g- it le ads in stead of dr i ving- it appea ls to the high est mot ives in stead o f to t h e lo west- it is co n st ru ct i ve rathe r than destructive-it builds ma nl y characte r instead of tempti n g to evas io n , concea lment , and resentm ent- it foste rs loya lt y a nd a ffect ion fo r the sc h ool a n d its ideals, and sen ds fort h gradu ates who are proud to a ttr ib ut e to its inAuence a large measur e o f th ei r p h ysical , int e ll ec tua l a nd mo ra l stu rdiness.

BUGLE CORPS

T his N!erit S ystem is built upon two considerations : first, such a division of the st u de nt"s time as to giv e him a mple le isure for proper amusements; and second, an imper a ti ve demand that he sha ll faithfull y perform the work assigned.

Th e who le e mphasi s is p laced upon the work. This is carefully divided, so that any average student can handle it if he app li es himself ; and it is insisted that he mu s t do this. If he requires the help of an in structo r , he gets it. I f he loses his time for a rnusem e nt , it is n eve r because this is taken from him as a punishment- it is m e r e l y that he may br in g his work up to the mark. And he is given every encouragernent, a nd ever y assistance , in doing this.

Dut y do ne a lwa ys means reward . This may take the form of some special pri v il ege, lik e a littl e trip down town ; or it may be simply freedom to join athletic practice o n the student's ow n "team... In any event, it is something that he likes and from which he is debarred onl y because his time is required to bring his work up to standard.

Pacing a beat , gun-carrying , pack-carr y ing, and al l the round of corporal punishments so generally resorted to in other schools ha ve no place here; our Merit System renders them unn eccessary . It gets better results , and gets them with less friction.

The Merit System is reinforced by appeal to group psychology. Stated competition between the bo y s occupying the different barracks is perpetually invoked. In this, the standing of the individual student is reflected in that of his barracks. The la ggard thus finds himself quickly out of favor with his fellows. It becomes less urgent that the instructor shall attempt to spur him on, because his fellow students take this upon themselves. And he finds it harder to resist the pressure when it is thus applied. Here, again, better results with less friction result.

The mode rn militar y school and the ordi n a r y schoo l, whether pub li c or pa roch ia l, approach th e p rob lem s o f boy training from d iam et ri ca ll y oppos it e ang les. The

CLUB

military school recogn izes the boy , and treats him as an embryo man- not as a child of larger growth and added years . The military school never for a moment ignores the tremendous truth that the whole viewpoint of the boy is effected by incipient manhood; that he is beginning to ··put away chi ld ish things ...

The modern military schoo l develops manliness, by enforcing upon the expanding consciousness of the boy the fact that reward is the legitimate result of merit. Promotion to student honors is made contingent upon the individua l record of the student in his work . No "pull" is recognized but that of the stude nt's own achievement. Here, as everywhere else through o ut the whole range of his schoo l life, d ut y is sweetened with self-interest.

It is only the la st four or five years that the public has fairly begun to awaken from the very false impr ess ion that the military school was for unrul y boys Doubtless there was, at o n e time, some foundation for such an impressio n . Military se rvice was once very largely recruited from the lower classes. Military discipline was, then, n ecessari l y drastic. It is n ot hard to understand that, under such conditions, the conduct of the military school of the day might have taken on a reflected harshness nor is it im probab le that a Colonel Squeers n1ay have been found, now and then, willing to capitalize the evil and imm ature ideals of his time at the expense of the good name of the military school.

Later o n, following the cl ose of the Ci vi l War, the State schools and private sch oo ls, led by th a t enlivened interest in militar y matters, which was the natural heritage o f the great strugg le, made military drill th e leading feature of the i r work. In many cases, un fortu n a t e ly, the scho las tic work was n eg lected . This was inevitably fol lo wed b y a n im p ress io n o n the part o f th e p ublic that the militar y sch oo l was esse nti a ll y a tra inin g sc h oo l for unrul y bo ys, and not to be taken too seriously othe rwi se.

But those days h ave passed, a n d wit h them h ave gone th e undesirable ideals a nd in st ituti o ns t o w hi c h they gave ri se . In their stead a r e schoo ls which mark the wo rl d's ut most advance in ph s ica l, mental a nd m o r a l training. This swift change in mil it ary schoo ls has a ri sen , as h as bee n n oted, o ut of the san e r concepti o n of the psycho logy of bo y h ood whi ch characterizes th e military schoo ls of the present day. It has resulted in a rea r ra n ge m e nt o f pedagogica l methods upo n trul , scientific lines. It has caused th e discard ing o f obso lete th eo ries , and the substitution of a regime that co n forms to the facts in b oy nature

It is tru e that this movement has been practically uni ve rsal throughout the schoo l sys t ems of A m e rica ; but it is n ot t oo much to declare that it has been led, a nd today fin ds its high es t expo n e nt , in th e m ode rn mili ta r y school.

The r egu lati o n of school athletics has bee n found a wonderful m ea ns to securing d iscip lin e in the militar y sc h oo l. No longe r is th e student permitted to use the g rmnasium at will. No haphazard play is permitted in field o r on tr a ck. Everythin g of thi s so rt is done ac cording t o o rd e r , un de r th e personal supervision of an in s tru c t o r. This in str u cto r is a lso, and a lwa ys, a leader in the sport . He makes it

his business to see that no stu de nt fa ils to un dersta n d t h e rul es, o r to beco me thoro ughl y enthused ove r the ga m e. Unde r his w ise direction eve r y fo rm and phase o f a thletics t akes on m ag ical v irilit y a n d attractive n ess .

Under these conditions th e sho rten ing , o r loss , of his h o ur at footba ll , o r sw imming o r other physical activity, becomes a rea l ly serious m a tt er to the stude nt ; a nd when he learns t h a t it wil l su re ly be j eopard ized by rem issness in s tu dy, o r in personal cleanliness , or in the ti dy in g u p of hi s room, he wil l a lm ost in va ri ab ly redoub le h is at tenti o n to the " work'" s ide of h is schoo l life .

This auto m at ically acting , n ega tive so r t of punishment fo r derelictio n of d u ty fairly represents the att itu de of the m ode rn mi l ita r y schoo l u po n the matter of student discipline. It is ass um ed, in the beginn in g, that t h e bo y is r ight and wis h es to do right. Parti cipa ti o n in schoo l at hl et ics is m ade a so r t of rewa rd fo r doing the right thing- for norm a l li v ing . An y depart ur e from n orma li ty is made to bring its ow n ret ri but ion- li ght , b ut in ev itab le. It h as been fo un d that the certainty of th e penalty, far m ore than a n y seve rit y that rnay be imposed , reta rds any t endency toward wro ng-do ing. It cannot be denied, moreove r, that und er this syste m the m ora l se nsib iliti es o f the boy are fa r less apt to fal l a n d the fib er of his self-respect to re lax. The e lem ent of pe rsonal humili a ti o n is sedulous ly e li rninat ed fro m a ll pe nalties imp osed during the bo , ·s at t en da nc e at a modern mili ta r y school.

THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

Colonel E. Y. Burton

The unmistakable tr en d in the militar y schoo l of t oday is t o d isca rd punishment as a means of s ecuring disc ip lin e ; m any o f the best schools h ave aba ndo n e d it altoge th e r , finding in a well balanced system of rewards a more effec ti ve restraint upo n wrong-do ing as well as a stronger incenti ve to constr ucti ve work.

The m ilit ar y sc h oo l provides for the proper e m p loy m e nt of absolutely every mi nu te of the b oy's entire tim e- day and night . Recogni z ing th e immaturit y of the boy, hi s prese nt in abi lity to do this for h imse lf, i t so d iv ides his time between work , p la y a n d res t that each m inut e is de fini te ly ass igned to a definite purpos e .

Purpose less n ess , a nd th e lax it y of I ife it breeds, a r e p e r mitted at no po int to touch hi s li fe .

l t has been a rgued th a t th is s o rt of di r ec ti on d isco urages initiative a n d minimizes th e b oy's indiv idua lit y . It is suffic ie n t a n swe r t o state that the racts d isp rove this in p r a ct ica ll y every ca se. The m ili tary schoo l r eg im e leaves s uffi c ie nt latitude for the h ea l th • exercise o f a ll prope r in itiat ive ; a nd ce rt a inl y n o sc hools make a m ore sp lend id showing up o n th e individualit y of their gr a duates.

The fact is, cons tructive initi a tive thrives upon w is e direction - a thing vastly d iffere nt from r epress ion. A nd this distinction is neve r los t sight of in the military school of t oday.

A tremendou s amo unt of energ y in th e ave r age bo y, lacking such d ir ectio n, wastes itself in

frivolous if n o t vicious channels. It is like the force released in firing a charge of gunpowder-unconfined, it wastes itself in bootless noise and smoke ; but held in one d irection it speeds the bullet to the mark. To this compulsory application of his ene rgies to desirable achievement is attributed much of that superiority of scholarship and physique, which distinguish the average military school alumnus.

In the average community, three luxuries of modern life militate powerfully

against the scho lastic ad vancement o f th e b oy o f milita r y s ch oo l a g e . Th e t e lep h o n e, the automobile and the moving pictur e sh o w nullify, to a d egr ee in co m pre h e nsib le to the average parent, the constructive inAu ence o f the o rd in a r y s ch o o l.

The boy attending a publ ic or p a rochial scho o l, and living at h o m e, m ay mea n to devote his evenings to hard stud y . He m ay t a k e his b oo k s h o m e w i t h h im , with every serious intention to spend his e venings with them. But a t e lep h o n e ca ll in fo rms him that his crowd is going for a n automobi le ride- o r to a m ov in g p ictur e s h o w

The boy is not to b lame . He is a bo y; it is his .. crowd" that calls- a c ro wd with whom he is justl y popular ; his mo ther is thoroughl y s y mp a theti c ; th e j oy -ri d e, o r th e movie show, is an attraction in itself. The net result is th a t h e s p en d s th e eve ning with his crowd" and his lessons on the mo r ro w b ear witn ess t o the fact

At the modern military school such an event wo uld be abso lutel y im poss ib le Here the boy's evening belongs to him It is d edicated to stud y a n d t o re cr ea ti o n according to a wise plan , which enables him to extract from his eve r y minut e th e maximum of bo th profit and pl easure.

The ratio of instructors to students in th e mod e rn militar y training s ch oo l is always very large C lasses of 10 to 15 are regarded as full. E v er y b oy recites eve r y lesson every da y. The overAowing class ro om of the o rdinar y schoo l is here unkn o wn.

To this fact is due much of the stronger pers onalit y of th e militar y sch ool grad-

uate ; for it r e li eves class roorn

work of a la rge measure of its

usual mechanical dul ln ess ,

and elicts to a much greater deg ree th e personal elem e nt in a ll recita tions

Besides the modern military school instructor is always a specialist. No instructor is regarded as qualified for a position in a school of this character unless he can bring to his work not on ly exhaustive information, but irrepressible enthusiasm H e must possess the faculty of engaging the attent ion and enlisting the li vliest interest of his students. This holds good not only in class room, but upon the playground and

in the gymnasium as well. The whole atmosphere of the modern military school is one of bubbling interest.

If mention has not been made of the moral training afforded in such schools , it is not because this phase of the boy·s training is lightly valued here, or neglected; but rather it might be reserved for special emphasis following consideration of other phases of his school life. The truth is that nowhere- not even in sectarian institutions of th e most pronounced t y pe- is more emphasis placed upon these essentials of moral a nd religious training which should form the basis of every educational system

The strictest moralit y is enjoined in every phase of the school life The great, basic truths upon which good lives are founded, and by which true nobility of character is squared, are inculcated at ever y turn They are taught b y precept and example, and are forced on the life o f the student b y the great plan of the school. They are never neglected.

D a il y chap e l exe rcises co nstitute a regular feature of militar y school life On S un d a ys each student is required to attend church services at least once- preferably a t a churc h of th e den o minati o n fa v ored b y his own people . N o attempt is ever made t o influence a b oy for o r against an y particular den o mination.

On e o f the m o re cogent reaso ns , if not the principal reason , of the superiority of th e milit a r y sch o ol for bo y s lies in the completeness of its plan . Here the whole day a nd night- work and pla y and rest- all are arrange d for in advance , according to a p lan which has b e en graduall 1 built up , tested , proved and found adequate through ye ars o f the m ost ex acting experience And experience has pruned this plan of harshness and of inconsistencies- has made it the summary of all that is at once best and m os t a gr ee able to the normal boy.

This p lan appeals to his personal and proper pride. It presents his duties in such forrn, and in such order, that their proper performance becomes a genuine pleasure. It metes out his pla y (always under direction and leadership of an instructor) in the gra teful guise of reward for good work well done. It begets in him a passion for order, corr e ctness , cleanliness and right living- a passion which surely , though gradually, infuses his character and becomes the very marrow of his bone.

AFTER A LO. •G MARCH

inquire if, after all , there n1a not be son1ething good in a oung n1an who has not been able to h o ld a position where mere intelligence is required.

But yea rs of experience in the school business have taught us that one-half of these boys ,vere an1ong the brightest in their school. This would seem to upset the prevailing idea that a boy who does not succeed in school ,vill not succeed in life. There are n1an y and good reasons , however, \vhy the man who is a failure in life may have been a good student in his y outh. Take an average boy for an example. He is activ e , bright, fond of outdoor life, loves to be moving about, possibly is a good athlete. Being an average boy, his work in his lessons is satisfactory. But there comes a tin1e , usually between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, ,vhen the boy begins to feel out of place ,vith his surroundings. He may be in a school ,vhere a large percentage of the students are girls, or may have a lady teacher who does not understand his make-up, or the teacher may be handicapped by too many pupils. At any rate, the boy reali zes that something is wrong; possibly, he is told that his girl classmates are getting ahead of him in his studies. The boy knows in a vague ,vay that he is not being adjusted to fit some,vhere in life. He kno,vs that all his teacher cares about hin1 is his sho,ving in the reports. He 1nust come up to a certain standard on all subjects, no matter ho,v unfit he is mentally to master some of them. But his inclination n1eans nothing to his automatic teacher; it does to the boy. He realizes that unless he is adjusted to his capabilities he will be a failure in life. He

never can pass that examination in Roman rlistory, French or Algebra; also he feels that for him it is a waste of time to drag along any more The outdoor life cal ls him ; he longs to be away from the bo r e of lessons he cannot understand, studies which h e kn o ws wi l l neve r be of any benefit to him . He becomes discouraged, wants t o drop o ut o f school ; he is not spurred on by his teacher; he is not encouraged by his pa r e nts , and the resu lt is he leaves sch oo l.

In ve r y man y cases h e ma y be told by his father that , since he would not stay in sc h oo l, h e can hust le for hirns e l f. He finds himse l f poor ly equipped to earn a living a t that age . Then he is thrown up o n the land , another untra ined bo y, a dish ea r ten ed y outh, who, as a man , is to b e a fai lure. For every place, frorn that which the l abo r e r fills in the fact o r y to that of the professional man, dernands a specialized adj u stme nt. Rath e r than be condemned these boys sho ul d be pitied . Many a fathe r , in the rush of his business , deprives his son of that careful attention which he so rnuch need s at the h igh school age .

M. M A. BY i\lOONLIGHT

Toda y those wh o rush into th e marke t p laces of t he wo rl d do not know a n ything about their own minds. Th ey use th e ir min d s ; t hey use th e ir emo t io n s a n d their intelligence, their attenti on and th ei r mem o r y, t he ir feel ings and t he ir wi ll , just as they use their muscles when the y wa lk o r p lay ball , w it ho u t h av in g a n y idea which muscles are rea lly invo lved M o r eove r , eve n if th ey kn ow how t h e i r m e n ta l equipment is made up by nature , they d o not reall y kn o w w h ich m e nta l fa c ili t ies are essential for a speci a l kind of wo rk.

The movement toward vocational guidance o n the p art o f th o ugh tful educ a t o rs has started an effort to improve this wretched game with its human w a st e. But e ve n they soon discover that the chief solution o f the prob lem ca n co me onl y from a careful study of the mind and of the menta l deman d s o f the vari o us pro fessi o ns . This labor, therefore , must ultimately fall to the educator wh o studies professiona ll y the human mind and the social d ema n d s on th e mental mechanism.

Send him , therefore, to a school of this kind , where his characte r a n d d isposit ion are stud ied with a vi e w to finding out for wh a t v o cation he is best suited· where he ' may be adjusted to pursue a calling for whi ch he is ph ysicall y and mentall y adapted . '12

WAR has clone much to make the American people reali ze the va lu e of_ . the training given in militar y schools. Every milit ary school boasts a great number of its former cadets who became officers in some branch of the service. In fact, at the beginning of the war the 1v1arines we r e almost entirely officered by militar y school grad u ates. While our object is not primarily t o make so ldiers, it is of great value to a yo ung man t o be we ll trained in military matters. The government realizes this and grants to graduates of our school w h o h ave passed the prope'r· examination, official recogniti on. Ou r military work does not in any way interfere with our class work , but rather insures the necessary ph ysical training too often negl ected in public schools.

•

WAR DEPARTMENT The Military Department of the school is under governRECOGNITION ment superv1s1on. \Ve are fortunate in having associated with us, as representative of the \Var Department, an Army Officer and gentleman of the highest type. The War Department· furnishes the arms, ammunition and camping equipment necessary for the use of this school.

RESERVE OFFICERS' By direction of the President of the United States, a TRAINING CORPS unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is maintained at the Missouri Nlilitary Academy. The objects of the Government in the organization of a Reserve Officers' Training Corps are twofold: namely, to disseminate among young men attending schools and colleges the fundamental rnilitary principles of discipline and training , which will fit them to be Reserve Officers in case of national emergency, should they desire such a commission; secondly, to build up a better citizenship by building up young men mentally, morally and physically.

BENEFITS In this connection, it is desired to quote extracts from the order under the direction of which the Militar y Department operates. This order is signed by the Secretary of War : _"All s~bj~cts should be ~o taught that the student shall become capable of clear, qwck thmkmg , shall acquire the power of analysis and should have a faculty of concise, logical expression... " The following characteristics of an officer and gentleman, which are included in a proper disciplinary training should be insisted upon : Neatness in dress , cultivation o f the manners and habit~ of a gentleman, dignified military bearing , lo y alt y , truthfulness , punctuality, kindl iness, earnestness of purpose and devotion to dut y, the cultivation in the student body of esprit-«~-corps obedience to orders, acceptance of responsibilit y and avoidance of excuses.

CADET COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

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

General Order No. 9, \1/ar Department, February 17, 1920, makes provision '.or four bi-monthly inspections by a staff representative of the Department, which ms~ections are for the purpose of insuring and carrying out the War Department policy of training.

PHYSICAL From a physical standpoint the benefits are of vast importance. TRAINING I\!Iany a boy with round shoulders, a slouchy walk, or ·ungainly ca~~iage, leaves school with shoulders erect, a steady stride , a deep full chest, and a ruddy glow in his cheeks. Every day a drill in military movements or fn Physical Exercises is held. The boys with flabby chests, pale cheeks and soft muscles s oon find themselves growing more robust; their lung capacity increases ; as the term prog-resses they take more and more interest in outdoor life, and finally, when the end of the year has come, instead of being heartily sick of school and everythipg - conn~cted with it, they look back with pleasure at the different school activiti~ in Which they have had a part .

ENCAMPMENT

Instead of a regular spring vacation, which is an interruption . ·of our school work, we have an encampment . At this time we all live outdoors ·'and enjoy to the fullest extent the life in the open. The cam_p is under military regulation at all times, but the change from barracks to tents 1s welcomed.

Sh b h d not love these outings Bacon, eggs, chicken and coffee ow us a oy w o oes • .1 . never taste so good as when prepared at camp. Then, too, the _da1 ~ ' tar_get prac~1ce • II · · C dets love to demonstrate their skill with the nfle. is sport as we as mstruct1on. a

FORMATION OF CHARACTER

wlilitary education engenders h ab its of self-reliance and selfdependence which are so essential to success. Here the cadet is trained to rely to a very great extent upon his own efforts,

t hat in after life he is m o re often a leade r than a fo ll owe r . Then there are the so . habits of neatness and punctuality. A militar y sch oo l is the best place for a boy who is leaving ho me for the nrst tim e. Accustomed at home to ha v ing all his wants looked after, his roorn cared for , all hi s clothing put awa y , he is in need of a school where he must care for all J1is perso nal property himself. Every morning he must police his own room, must h ave his shoes sh ined at ever y fo rmation, and must be in his place on the line at the last note of the bugle He cannot help learning habits of neatness and punctuality.

DISCIPLINE

Every boy needs careful, sympathetic leadership and s y stematic training, especially that one wh o has not learned obedience or has grown headstrong and indifferent from n eg lect o r from bad associations. The proper place for such is in a school where the men in authority have made boys a study-who can cornmancl their obedience and respect, a nd give them aid and s ympa thy of the right kind.

ROD AND GUN CLUB

The best discipline is that which effects the best physical, mental and moral results with the least friction and in the shortest time. It is the idea of the inexperienced that the harder the rules of school and the severer the punishment the ?etter the discipline. This is simply puerile and dangerous. No harm , but great good 1s accomplished if the weakness of boys can be corrected without severe methods. Respect , confidence and the highest obedience may thus be inspired, while rough ~andling is often irritating to the proud spirit and may drive to rebellion and desperation.

We endeavor, therefore, to avoid the common error in the training of boys . Schools too often make the mistake of substituting discipline and routine for personal guidance, treating boys either in the mass or emphasi z ing too strongly the individual. \Ve make the boy understand that we hold him responsible for obedience. \Ve believe in his having a "good time" when he has earned it .

TOBACCO

The use of tobacco in any of its forms is positively forbidden

OUR SYSTEM Unlike most military schools we have a system by which a cadet's privileges are based on his class work and deportrnent and not on his classification and official standing. The better grades a boy makes and the better his deportment record the more privileges he gets . In other words, a cadet gets exactly what he earns . This fair, common-sense method of treatment appeals to all cadets and makes for a contented student body.

LO'WER SCHOOL

The Lower School o ffers standard courses in the 2nd , 3rd, 4th , 5th , 6th and 7th grades. Se e page 102 for a discussion of the Lower School.

UPPER SCHOOL

The courses of study in the Upper School are designed to require fi ve y ears o f stud y b y the a ve rage bo y . The first y ear is equivalent to the eighth grade o f the standard grammar school course, and the remaining four years approximate closel y the courses of our best high schools.

Four courses of instruction are offered in the last four y ears o f the Upper Schoo l: the Classical, the Scientific, the General and the Commercial.

THE CLASSICAL This course offers abund ant preparati on for the Arts co urses COURSE of any College or University. It is particularl y designed for students to enter Princeton, Harva rd or Yale Four y ears of languages are included and the College entrance requirements in English , i\!fathematics, History and Science.

THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE

THE COMMERCIAL COURSE in this course.

This course is intended for cadets wishing to prepare for Technical and Engineering schools. It also offers preparation for entrance to State Universities and Colleges

This course is also particularly designed to meet the needs of those cadets who wish to fit themselves for earl y entrance into the business world. The technical business subjects are offered

THE GENERAL This course is designed to rneet the needs of those cadets who desire to fit themselves for early entrance to the business world. As the subjects in this course are largely elective, a cadet may COURSE

I h . d " · ch a v,ay as to meet the entrance requirements of some parti- se ect 1s stu 1es m su ,v cular College.

GRADUATE This course is aimed to meet the needs of the followin~ classes of SCHOOL students: First , the y oung man who lacks onl y a y ears work for graduation and wishes to take some co ll ege w o rk while completina the necessary work for his high school diploma ; Second , the High School graduat~ who has completed his high school cow·s~ satisfa ct o ril y, b_ut wishes a stronger physical and mental development before entering C o ll ege ; Third , the student who wishes to continue his work beyond the high school but d oes n o t wa nt to enter a four year college course .

Students ta\<ing co~rses in this sc~ oo l will l~e gi ven a n _ o pportunit y of carrying advanced work m English, lVlathernatics, Ch e mi s tr y, Ph ys ics, Spanish , French and similar studies The Academ y does not guarant ee t o the se s tudents ad v anced standing in College, but where the work is satisfacto ril y clon e, m o st Colleges are glad to give credit in these courses.

SPELLING AND WRITING

One of the most common complaints against modern education is its failure to teach the students to write and to spell correctl y. 'vVe believe that bo ys cannot get too much instruction in these subjects, and therefore make then1 compulsory. In spelling special emphasis is laid on the common words so often misspelled

ADMISSION TO COLLEGE

Our school is a member of the North Central Association o f Colleges and Secondary Schools. This entitles our graduates to enter a n y college o r universit y without examination where admission is allowed on certificate. Membership in th e association is a stamp of genuine merit. It is conferred only on schools that have a large force of college and university trained teachers that are specially prepared for their line of work; classes that are small; a good scholastic atmosphere, which insures consistent study and real accomplishment; work that meets. the heart y approval of the inspector; and a good record made b y graduates that go to college. Ivlissouri Military Academy is also a member of th e Association of Military Schools and Colleges of the United States.

CLASSIFICATION No examination is required f~r admission. Cadets are assigned to those classes for which they are best fitted by their previous training.

Applicants for admission to the sophomore or higher class~ must submit their credits from an accredited high school or academy. Every applicant should furnish references as to his character a~d habits.

DIPLOMAS We grant diplomas or certificates of graduation to all who successfully pass satisfactory exarninations in fifteen cred its of high school work and in one credit of Nlilitary Science and Tactics . Norma ll y four credits are completed each year. An average grade of 80 in all subjects is required for college entrance recommendation.

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 to study and to receive supervision and help in his work, but also , and essentially, it is a place for the psychological study of the boy. In the Study Hall we deal only with the boy who has difficulty in some branch of his work. The education of boys calls for special attention to methods of effec ting individual adjustment. The Study Hall re prese nts our efforts to achieve this. Here the student and his problems are handled directly in response t o the needs of the student as an individual.

DEBATING It is recognized that the ability to express one's self forcibly before . an audience is always a great advantage to yo ung men. An oppor~un'.ty for training in this work is given by means of debates in the class rooms and m mter-school contests.

THE BAND

Music Department

MAJOR MA RQUESS WALLACE , Director

HE D epart m ent of Music is a feature of great importance . The t eachers in ch arge are competent to give instruction in all kinds of instrument a l a n d voca l music. Music ma y be pursued as a specia l o r regular study, credit being given in the cultural course to a ll students whose work is satisfactory.

A band is a necessit y in a milit ar y schoo l. It puts life into its drill and sports, and helps to mainta in sc h oo l spmt . Dail y rehearsals and frequent concerts make it possible to develop a very efficie nt militar y and concert band. Instruction in the band is free.

THE ORCHESTRA In addition to the Band , the school maintains two orchestras, instruction in which is free to all students whose proficiency entitles them to a place in either organization. The concert orchestra plays for school entertainments and Commencement exercises. The dance orchestra plays for all the student dances, has also had engagements in other cities, and often

plays for the banq uets of the Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. This orchestra a lso broadcasts from stations in this state.

PIANO Our aim is to lay a good foundation for beginners , to develop further technique of advan ced students, to understand the composer "s musical idea and t o develop the in div idualit y of each student .

VOICE This departmen t has been created for those who desire indi v idual training in vo ic e, ear a nd 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 harmon y and rythm and can learn to carr y a part . The possession 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.

CONCERT ORCHESTRA

JAZZ ORCHESTRA

THE ·scHOOL Throughout the year the cadets edit and publish a pap~r, "The PAPER M. M. A. Eagle," which in appearance and literary firn~h ~ornpares quite favorably with the best of other similar publications. l': this paper local happenings are noted and subjects of interest to the school are d1sc~sse~ . Each ~oy has the opportunity of seeing the results of his literary endeav?r~ m pr~nt. While a member of the facult y has general supervision over the paper, 1t 1s d1stmctly a student pu b li cation.

DANCING Realizing the impo rtance of dancing as a~ accon:iplishment in p_o!ite society , the Acad em y has arranged to gi v e in s truction to those desmng it. Dances are given at the Academ y through~ut the ye ar. \Ve respect the views of those patrons who do not beli eve in dancing C ons equentl y, every cadet is required to present permission fro m h ome.

SOCIAL The social sid e of the ca det' s life rec e ives cl ue attention. A part of FEATURES every young man ·s ed u ca tion s h o uld b e prepa ration to take his place in the so cial world . He must h ave th e ab ilit y to meet his fellowman when he goes out into the worl d in s uch a wa y as to r efl ec t credit upon himself and his associates. Man y opportuniti es a re o ffe re d wh e reby h e m ay become at ease in the presence of strangers.

In addition to this , Hardin College for \Vomen giv es rec e pti o ns each y ear, and there are numerous social gatherings in the cit y t o which the cadets are always welco_me. Cadets have the privilege of calling upon y oung ladies in 1v1exico and at Hardm College, after approval by the school authorities.

First Church of Christ, Scientist- Xenas Ga rr et , F irst Reader. Episcopal Church-Rev. W. H . D ecker.

We a re a non-sectarian school and adhere to n o certain creed but we do believe in compuls or; church attendance. Every Sunday morning the battali o n is marched t o t ow n for the purpose of attending church services . Cadets may attend the church of their choice. A faculty officer has charge of each squad. Sickness alone will excuse a cadet from attending church.

HAZING We have no hazing at the Missouri Military Academ y. We believe hazing has no place whatever in any school. The absence of this evil at our school is largely due to the fact that we do not allow upper classmen to administer any punishment whatever on lower classmen .

Many schools still make the sad mistake of allowing old boys to punish new boys for certain vio lations of rules and regulations. This practice, in our opinion, belongs to the Dark Ages.

' N PURSUANCE of our policy of a well-rounded education , 'd we la y pa r ticu lar stress on phys ica l development . A youth ·s s u ccess in schoo l depends quite as much upon the health of his body as u pon the s t ate of his mind . The student has need of greater strength and health o f b ody than the artisan , because mental wo r k is seve rel y exacting and ph ysicall y exhaustive It is necessar y, therefore, that he keep his bod y in the best possible conditi o n. As stated before, our mi litar y training has this for its chief aim. But i f we depended solel y upon dr ill, ver y little prog ress would be made , for it would become irkso me and the cadet would soon tire of it, thus defeating one of the chief aims of the sch oo l-to stimulate the in terest of the young man. Hence we have well organ iz ed departments of athlet ics and gymnast ics.

* ~1 ,:

PHYSICAL TRAINING

A ll cadets are required to spend at least two periods per week in so m e form of supervised athletics-football, baseball, basketball, track , tennis , swi mming , boxing , w restling or golf.

Each co m pany has as rnan y teams as are necessar y to take care of all the cadets in that co mpan y. E ach co mpany a lso has its own indi v idual coach. The compan y games , played each wee k , a re as cl ose and as interesting as the regular varsity contests.

There is a prevalent idea that part1c1pation in athl e tics m a l~es the cad et an inferior student. Our experience , howe ver , has dern o nstrated forcibl y the error of this b elief, for our best athletes have been almost without exception our best students. Hence we have made athletics a v ery important feature of this school. Besides the unquestionable ph ysical advantages accruing from athletic training , the cadet also derives those very important lessons- perseverance, self-co ntrol , selfreliance , and abilit y to think and to act quickl y . 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 d epartment . No cadet ma y 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 cade_ts Second and third teams in each sport have their own coaches just as the varsity teams Even the grade school boy s have their own coach r 1 ~ / \ .

FOOTBALL On the theory that the benefits of football outweigh its objectionable features and that the latt e r may be minimized 'or wholly removed by proper supervision , this game is encouraged at the Academy. Excellent facilities for the sport are provided and skilful and judicious coaches are employed.

An opportunity is given each cadet to become a member of an organized team under the supervision of a competent coach. The varsity and second teams ~ave regular schedules with other schools . hrnpany teams play a regular weekly sc edule and company letters are awarded.

FOOTBALL SQUAD

BASKETBALL

Our courts afford ample opportunity for the enjoyment of this popular sport. The courts are in use constantly during the pla y ing ~eason. Company contests are interesting, and furnish good practice as well ~s exercise. Basketball is probably the most popular of all the sports. In the followmg pages we show seventeen teams that played a regular weekly schedule of games.

VARSITY

COMPANY SECOND TEAM

BASEBALL

TRACK TEAl'vl

Our baseball diamond affords opportunity for the enjoyment of this popular game, for the diamond is one of the very best in the state. In addition to the varsity and second teams there are company teams which have a regular weekly schedule. \1/ith such a program , every cadet is gi ve n an opportunity to become a member of a team, and earn a compan y letter.

TRACK This is one branch of athletics where competition is unlimited , for track teams are not confined to an y certain number of men. The sport is wholesome and the choice of man y cadets.

TENNIS COURTS

The Lower School

Capt. G. W. i\kLAIN Principal

Mrs. ADA EMERICK House-Mother

The lower school is for boy s in the second, third, fourth, fifth , sixth and seventh grade (the eighth grade work is included in our upper school and is known _ as the Junior Department) , and is entirely separate from the upper school. It has its o':n teachers, building, dining room, playground , and in every way is a separate, distinct organization.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Lower School is to be the complement of the home in the thorough training of a limited number of boys. Each boy is treated as an individual and is an object of special study by the teachers . He is taken through a definite course of training to develop his physical, mental and moral powers, and constant influence is brought to bear to cause _ him to use these powers in the right way, and for the right purposes. It is far better for boys to enter this Department than to wait until they are older and then enter the upper school.

The close association of the Faculty with the cadets in our Lower School fur-• nishes them an excellent opportunity to teach self-reliance, responsibility, moral courage and consideration of others in such a way that these qualities become a part of the boys who make our school their home.

BUILDING

The main building used by the Lower School is well adapted to its purposes. It contains sleeping rooms for the boys, classroom, game room, library, linen room, shower and tub baths It is lighted by electricity, and is heated with steam

DINING ROOM

The Lower School dining room is located in the administration . . . building, which is only about fifty feet from the barracks . This 1s an attractive room, and is presided over by the Principal, the House Mother and the teachers who serve the boys The tables are 1· d · h I f h 1 f • supp 1e wit p enty o w o esome ood . Cocoa and mtlk are served at breakf st ·1k h I d • . a , m1 at t e noon mea , an cocoa agam at the evening meal The Missou · MT A d h h tion of serving first class meals. n I itary ca emy as t e reputa-

This butld 11:g 1s used m common with the Upper School. Th e swimming poo l 1s open the entire school year, and the wa t e r, of course, is heated to the proper t e m ~era tur e during the w int e r mon ths. Swimming is certainly a most popu la r spo r t w ith the yo u nger boys, and th ey spend many happy afternoons and eve nings in the water. Every cadet is t aught to swim a nd a teacher is alwa ys present whe n they a re u s ing t h e poo l

LIBRARY AND The lib rary a nd reading room which are us ed in common with READING ROO M th e upper school, a re situated in the L owe r School buil ding. There are special books in th e li brary for the yo unger boys, and the reading room is s u pp li ed with man y of the current maga z ines and dail y newspapers .

PLAY GROUND The L ower School h as a separate play ground wi t h gr idiron a n d baseball diamond. The quart e r mile cinder t ra ck is used the upper sc h oo l. in common wi th ROOMS AND ROOMMATES \ Vit h few ex ceptions th e sleeping arrangements are for two boys in a roo m . Each boy has a single bed. All of the rooms a r~ we ll heated , we ll lighted, and equipped with the necessar y furrnt~ re. We e nco u rage the bo ys t o t ake a s p ec ial interest in _their rooms, a nd ~he y may b n ~g with them, curtains, pennants , a n d p ic t ures fo r t his purpose. There are two wm-

LOWER SCHOOL BOYS

dows and the curtains should be 32 inches wide and 72 inches long. The pictures on pages 15 and 109 will give you a general idea of the appearance of some of ~he ~oom_s . Cadets are originally assigned to rooms according to the elate of applicat1on, m such a way that boys of about the same age and _ school grade_ are together. The final assignment of rooms and roommates rests _with the. Supen_ntendent ~nd Principal, who consider each boy"s happiness and best interests 111 makmg the assignments. In so far as it is consistent with the best interest of all concerned , bo ys already members of the school have the first consideration in the re-assignment of rooms.

WEEKLY LETTER

The cadets are required to write at leas t o ne letter home each week. This particular letter is written Sunday afternoon, and is read by the Principal , and sometimes the bo ys are required to correct the mistakes These letters are then mailed I"v1oncla y afternoon or Tuesda y morning Any other letters that the cadets may write h o m e are n ot read, and the letters they receive are not read b y the school authorities .

PLAY The importance of keeping a b oy' s wh o le time occ upi ed cannot be emphasized too much. We have worked out a m os t elaborate scheme of work and pla y, and thi~ yea r in our Lower School of thirt y bo ys , we have developed t.wo football elevens, six basketball teams, and will have three teams in baseball. 1:'he ~eachers are always in charge of the play, and we see to it that every boy's pla y time 1s used to the best advantage. No strenuous exercise is permitted to the extent that it would impair a boy 's health.

MUSIC Th~. ~ower _School boys_ devote_ two hours per week to music and they pa1 t1c1pate in the following musical organizations: Glee Club, Orchestra Band, an~ D1:um and Bugle Corps. Special instruction is offered in piano violi~ and the wmcl mstruments. '

GOING TO \-VASI-I ROOM

INSPECTION FOR CLEANLINESS

GLEE CLUB

SLEEP The cadets must be in bed b y eight o'clock in the w inter months , and not later than eight thirty in the fall and spring. The y ma y go to bed earlier than this if they so desire. \Ve belie ve in lots of sleep, and good, wholesome food.

CLEANLINESS The teachers take the place of the mothers in seeing to it that the bo ys are clean. About thirt y minutes before each meal, all the bo ys are required to go to the wash room , and the teachers assist them in washing up . Not only their hands and faces must be clean , but their finger nails and the back of their ears are also inspected. As every boy is required to take a shower bath before entering the swimming pool , the y are almost guaranteed at least one bath a day and very often two.

TABLE MANNERS Good table manners are taught and enforced as a very essential part of the school training. The spirit of the dining room is always cheerful. The teachers and instructors, who preside at the table, not only attend to the material wants of the boys, but see that there is good order, unselfishness and courtesy . The impro ve ment in table manners is one of the results of the school training often noticed by parents and strangers, who see the cadets eating in public places.

LINENS A linen room , which is in charge of the housemother is maintained for the benefit of the bo ys. All washable articles such as bed linens shirts underwear, night clothes, socks and handkerchiefs, are' kept in this roo;n , an~!

issued to the bo y s when n eeded . Tl h these articles. le ousemother also looks after the mending of
