them.

At home this person is mother, father, or an older brother; at school it must

who sympathize with them and can see things as students see them. Teaching is more than the mere dissemination of knowledge. Oliver Wendell Holmes was a great teacher, not because of his wonderful erudition, but because he got close to his classes. He was a Big Brother to his students.

Our barracks are divided into sections 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 Holmes" to watch every movement, but he is an ever-ready friend who stands prepared to help when help is wanted or is necessary. In other 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 excellent spirit among the cadets and practically no friction between them and their teachers. We know that we saved some boys during the past year from leaping into trouble by a few kind, brotherly words 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 for his good. In other words, he becomes educated to the Big Brother method, one of the big things at M. M. A. 26

M. M. A. Merit System The M. M. A. idea of Discipline is practically a reversal of that entertained and applied by the average school for boys—particularly of the military type. Yet not only is it based on unquestionably sound psychology; but, as employed in Missouri Military Academy at least, it is absolutely justified by its results. Our Merit System rewards instead of punishing—it leads instead of driving—it appeals to the highest motives instead of to the lowest—it is constructive rather than destructive—it builds manly character instead of tempting to evasion, conceal ment, and resentment—it fosters loyalty and affection for the school and its ideals, and sends forth graduates who are proud to attribute to its influence a large measure of their physical, intellectual and moral sturdiness.

IOWA AND NEBRASKA CLUB 28

KANSAS CLUB

This Merit System is built upon two considerations: first, such a division of the student's time as to give him ample leisure for proper amusements; and second, an imperative demand that he shall faithfully perform the work assigned.

The whole emphasis is placed upon the work. This is carefully divided, so that any average student can handle it if he applies himself ; and it is insisted that he must do this. If he requires the help of an instructor, he gets it. If he loses his time for amusement, it is never because this is taken from him as a punishment—it is merely that he may bring his work up to the mark. And he is given every encour agement, and every assistance, in doing this. Duty done always means reward. This may take the form of some special privilege, like a little trip down town; or it may be simply freedom to join athletic practice on the student's own “team." In any event, it is something that he likes and from which he is debarred only because his time is required to bring his work up to standard. 29

WANDERERS’ CLUB

Pacing a beat, gun-carrying, pack-carrying, and all the round of corporal punish ments so generally resorted to in other schools have no place here; our Merit System renders them unnecessary. It gets better results, and gets them with less friction.

The Merit System is reinforced by appeal to group psychology. Stated com petition between the boys occupying the different barracks is perpetually invoked. In this, the standing of the individual student is reflected in that of his barracks. The laggard thus finds himself quickly out of favor with his fellows. It becomes less urgent that the instructor attempt to spur him on, because his fellow stu dents 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 ensue.

The President’s Talk to Parents •HE modern military school recognizes and utilizes, to a degree approached by no other school, the psychology of boyhood. It i appeals, insistently and irresistibly, to all the better impulses of the boy. It quickens the constructive forces of his nature, and gives them direction and alignment. At a time when the swift waxing of mental and physical powers shatters the simple idealism of his childhood, it provides the wise pilotage which insures against the shipwreck of character. The modern military school conserves the time and energies of the boy. It puts efficiency into his work, and the habits of efficiency into his life. It gives him a grip upon his own faculties such as is given by no other school. The modern military school and the ordinary school, whether public or parochial, approach the problems of boy training from diametrically opposite angles. The military school recognizes 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 childish things.”

BUGLE CORPS

The modern military school develops manliness, by enforcing upon the expanding consciousness of the boy the fact that reward is the legitimate result of merit. Promo tion to student honors is made contingent upon the individual record of the student in his work. No “pull” is recognized but that of the student's own achievement. Here, as everywhere else throughout the whole range of his school life, duty is sweet ened with self-interest. It is only in the last four or five years that the public has fairly begun to awaken from the very false impression that the military school was for unruly boys. Doubt less there was, at one time, some foundation for such an impression. Military service was once very largely recruited from the lower classes. Military discipline was, then, necessarily drastic. It is not hard to understand that, under such conditions, the conduct of the military school of the day might have taken on a reflected harsh ness nor is it improbable that a Colonel Squeers may have been found, now and then, willing to capitalize the evil and immature ideals of his time at the expense of the good name of the military school. Later on, following the close of the Civil War, the State schools and private schools, led by that enlivened interest in military matters, which was the natural heritage of the great struggle, made military drill the leading feature of their work. In many cases, unfortunately, the scholastic work was neglected. This was inevitably followed by an impression on the part of the public that the military school was 34

essentially a training school for unruly boys, and not to be taken too seriously otherwise. But those days have passed, and with them have gone the undesirable ideals and institutions to which they gave rise. In their stead are schools which mark the world's utmost advance in physical, mental and moral training. This swift change in military schools has arisen, as has been noted, out of the saner conception of the psychology of boyhood which characterizes the military schools of the present day. It has resulted in a rearrangement of pedagogical methods upon truly scientific lines. It has caused the discarding of obsolete theories, and the substitution of a regime that conforms to the facts in boy nature. It is true that this movement has been practically universal throughout the school systems of America; but it is not too much to declare that it has been led by, and today, finds its highest exponent in, the modern military school. The regulation of school athletics has been found a wonderful means of securing discipline in the military school. No longer is the student permitted to use the gymnasium at will. No haphazard play is permitted in field or on track. Every thing of this sort is done according to order, under the personal supervision of an instructor. This instructor is also, and always, a leader in the sport. He makes it 35

Why Boys Leave High School O YOU KNOW that forty per cent of the boys who enter high school never finish? It is deplorable, but nevertheless true. Have you ever stopped to consider why this is true? Probably you have said along with thousands of others: “They are too V dull to get along and may as well stop school and get out in the 1 world to earn their own living.” Then have you ever considered 1 why so many young men not only do not get along in the world / but actually become undesirable citizens—yes, even criminals? . Probably you think, along with others, that they have had this A r... tendency from youth. ____ M But you are responsible in a large measure for this class of y°un8 rnen. You and the busy world think that these young men who leave high school are naturally failures; that there is nothing good in them and you pass them by for the young man who is bright and shows it This is as it should be. The busy world of today has no time to stop and

inquire if, after all, there may not be something good in a young man who has not been able to hold a position where mere intelligence is required.

But years of experience in the school business have taught us that one-half of these boys were among the brightest in their school. This would seem to upset the prevailing idea that a boy who does not succeed in school will not succeed in life. There are many and good reasons, however, why the man who is a failure in life may have been a good student in his youth. Take an average boy for an example, He is active, 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 time, usually between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, when the boy begins to feel out of place with his surroundings. He may be in a school where 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 realizes 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 way that he is not being adjusted to fit somewhere in life. He knows that all his teacher cares about him is his showing in the reports. He must come up to a certain standard on all subjects, no matter how unfit he is mentally to master some of them. But his inclination means 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 41

Advantages of a Boarding School 1. The cadet has his time mapped out for him, each exercise has its proper place, and each duty must be performed at the appointed hour. 2. During the hours set for study and preparation of lessons, a teacher is always accessible to render assistance and teach the boy how to study.

3. He is taught the duty of ready and prompt obedience to authority, without questioning that authority.

4. As he is taught to obey, so he learns to command and to study character, so that his influence and efficiency may be increased. 5. He is unconsciously taught, by his surroundings and daily and hourly con tact with his fellows, those things which make men successful in the world into which he must soon be thrown.

6. Habits of self-reliance, self-restraint, and independence of thought and action, fit him gradually for the larger and more varied duties of citizenship and business. He forms these habits.

HE WAR has clone much to make the American people realize the value of the training given in military schools. Every military 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 Marines were almost entirely officered by military school graduates. While our Ill object is not primarily to make soldiers, it is of great f value to a young man to be well trained in military matters. The government realizes this and grants to • j graduates of our school who have passed the proper examination, official recognition. Our military work does not in any way interfere with our class work, but rather insures the necessary physical training too often neglected in public schools.

miS MAJ. C. R. STRIBLING, Commandant 55

CADET COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

In this connection, it is desired to quote extracts from the order under the direction of which the Military Department operates. This order is signed by the Secretary of War: “All subjects should be so taught that the student shall become capable of clear, quick thinking, shall acquire the power of analysis and should have a faculty of concise, logical expression.” “The following character istics of an officer and gentleman, which are included in a proper disciplinary training, should be insisted upon: Neatness in dress, cultivation of the manners and habits of a gentleman, dignified military bearing, loyalty, truthfulness, punctuality, kindli ness, earnestness of purpose and devotion to duty, the cultivation in the student body of espril-de-corps obedience to orders, acceptance of responsibility and avoid ance of excuses.”

BENEFITS

This sound doctrine of training in the basic principles of good and useful citizen ship speaks for itself. General Order No. 9, War 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 War Department policy of training. 60

CADET NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

PHYSICAL

From a physical standpoint the benefits are of vast importance. Many a boy with round shoulders, a slouchy walk, or ungainly carriage, 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 in Physical Exercises is held. The boys with flabby chests, pale cheeks and soft muscles soon find themselves growing more robust; their lung capacity increases; as the term progresses 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 everything connected with it, they look back with pleasure at the different school activities in which they have had a part.

TRAINING

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 camp is under military regulation at all times, but the change from barracks to tents is welcomed.

Show us a boy who does not love these outings. Bacon, eggs, chicken and coffee never taste so good as when prepared at camp. Then, too, the daily target practice is sport as well as instruction. Cadets love to demonstrate their skill with the rifle. G1

CONCERT ORCHESTRA

THE ORCHESTRA

In addition to the Band, the school maintains two orches tras, 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 student dances, has also had engagements in other cities, and often plays for the banquets of the Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. This orchestra also broadcasts from stations in this state.

BAND AND ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTS

Individual instruction is offered for all band and orchestral instruments, thus giving the student an opportunity to develop further technique.

PIANO

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

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

VOICE

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 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. 78

FOOTBALL SQUAD

PHYSICAL TRAINING

All cadets are required to spend at least two periods per week in some form of supervised athletics—football, baseball, basketball, track, tennis, swimming, boxing, wrestling or golf. Each company has as many teams as are necessary to take care of all the cadets in that company. Each company also has its own individual coach. The company games, played each week, are as close and as interesting as the regular varsity contests. 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 stu dents. 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—perseverance, 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. On the theory that the benefits of football outweigh its objectionable features, and that the latter may be minimized 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.

VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD

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 have regular schedules with other schools. Company teams play a regular weekly schedule and company letters are awarded.

TENNIS COURTS

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 may enter. Matches are also played with other school teams, and a company tournament is an annual affair.

TENNIS

SWIMMING TEAM

Every cadet is taught to swim and must pass a standard test. Inter-company contests have greatly increased the interest in this sport. The pool is open the entire school year and the water is kept at the proper temperature. SWIMMING

GOLF

Each year Golf becomes a more popular sport and the young men of today are contributing to its popularity. We have a golf team that competes with teams from other schools in the state. One of Mexico’s Country Clubs join our property and arrangements have been made whereby cadets may play on this course for a fee of fifteen dollars. Many cadets take memberships in this club.

ATHLETIC FIELD

The athletic field is located in the northeast part of the campus and is as good as any found in the State. The baseball diamond is almost perfect. The cinder track is one-fourth of a mile in length. There are also five new under-drained tennis courts on the campus, which are the equal of the best city courts.

CADET’S LIVING ROOM

The cadets must be in bed by eight o'clock in the winter months, and not later than eight-thirty in the fall and spring. They may go to bed earlier than this if they so desire. We believe in lots of sleep, and good, wholesome food. CLEANLINESS The teachers take the place of the mothers in seeing to it that the boys are clean. About thirty minutes before each meal, all the) boys are required to go to the lavatories, and the teachers assist them in making their toilet. Not only must their hands and faces be clean, but their finger nails and ears are also inspected. As each boy is required to take a shower bath before entering the swimming pool, he is guaranteed at least one bath a day and very often two. SLEEP

STORY TELLING

TABLE MANNERS

Good table manners are taught and enforced as a very es sential 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, un selfishness and courtesy. The improvement in table manners is one of the results of the school training often noticed by parents and strangers who see the cadets in public places. LINENS A linen room, which isinchargeof the Assistant Principal is maintained for the benefit of the boys. All washable articles, such as bed linens, shirts, underwear, night clothes, socks and handkerchiefs, are kept in this room, and issued to the boys when needed.

Military The cadets of the Lower School have just enough military training to teach them the fundamentals of a military organization. The primary purpose of this training is to prepare them to be good citizens. Boys respond quickly to military methods and customs, They develop leadership, courage, initiative, neatness, obedience and self-control, Frequent inspections are made of the rooms, clothing, beds, shoes, etc. Boys take a great pride in seeing just how efficient they can be in a military manner.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT

We do not believe in corporal punishment, but if permitted at all, it will be to take the place of dismissal.

Financial You will find a detailed statement of expenses of the Lower School on page 129.

We recommend that parents make provision for $1.00 a week spending money for their boys. They are allowed to attend the picture show once or twice a week with an instructor, and they are also permitted to buy ice cream and other sweets on these occasions: and they need some money with which to purchase some little items that they may happen to want. WEEKLY ALLOWANCE

The cadets are required to wear the regulation Academy uniform. A detailed statement of the uniform requirements may be found on page 130. A list of articles to be brought from home or purchased at the Academy may be found on page 131. These are personal articles, which the school could hardly furn ish, and meet the tastes and requirements of different individuals.
