complete, a captain. two lieutenants,
five seargeants, four cOrpOrals. an
ad~jutant, a quarter-master, a sergeant
major and a quarter master sergeant
complete the list of those who with
commandant and assistant command
ant rule supreme. One officer is
detailed each day for duty a. officer
of the day and for that day he is
next in authority to the commandment.
1t is his duty to receive all reports,
to report all breaches of the regula-
lions, and to hold the other officers of
the building responsible for the order
throughout. So thorough is the sys-
tenn of checks and counter checks that
the offender in any case is brought
quickly and summarily to justice.
The boys rise at 600 a. m. prepare
their room for inspection by 6:3O,
breakfast at $40 and march I'VE to
the main building at $40. The study
hour is from ! to 10 y. m. and from
$50 to 7:4O a. m. During this time
frequent inspections are made to see
that students are in their room and
at study.
The recreation period is from 800
to $50 p. IN. During this time the
foot ball team and the lovers of the
sport practice or the gridirOn. One
of the recent acquisitions of the team
is a dummy for practice in tackling.
On the breast of this dummy are
painted the initials of one Of the
Institutes most formidable rival
teams, and the way the boys tackle it
would make their friends the enemy
SILVER. The football team is the
strongest the Institute has ever had
and the boys arc practicing hard to
make a good showing this season.
the team is assigned to a special
training table and takes a mile run
every morning as an appetiser for
breakfast. Every candidate for the
team has to undergo a medical ex-
animation so the possibility of an
accident is reduced to the minimum.
The school spirit of the students is
beginning to show itself in a number
of ways. The Athletic Association
has a large and enthusiastic member
ship. The Attakapas and Avatar
Literary Societies are making a
record for the uniform excellence of
their programs. The student body is
unanimous in the movement for the
reissue of the Vermilion, the paper
published by and in the interest of
the student body.
The e~arnestness of purpose which
characterizes the students at the
Institute this year is remarkable. The
nobility of honest labor is the watch
word. The old idea, that labor is
dishonorable, that has so long re-
tarded the growth of our country has

This is evidenced by the fact that five
working scholarships have been
established and five boys are making
their way through school by their
own labor. This movement for work
ing scholarships but recently in
augurated has met with such marked
success that others will be established
as opportunity offers. The young
men who hold these scholarships al
present rank high in moral and in.
~tellectual worth and have the respect
and admiration of both students and
faculty.
The next student that successfully
enters the Industrial Institute will be
number 200 on the roll, the number
having reached 1919 during the week
just past. The outlook is for a con.
tinued growth in the attendance and
for a successful year.
