| A. III. s. ranks high among the
high schools of Kansas, not only In
size but also In the character OF
work done. It was organized 3S
years ago and has always had an
esta blished reputation. 1t was one
of the first seven schools OF the
state to be recognized by the North
Central Association of Colleges and
High Schools, and 1t is still on the
accredited list of this organization.
This means that diploma from our
college preparatory course is receiv-
ed by all colleges from Pennsylvania
to Colorado and from the northern
boundry Of the United States to
kentucky. It is also affiliated with
the University of Chicago, as a CO.
operating high school. No high school
in the state has therefore a better
endorsement of its work and stand
ing.
The curriculum of A. H. S. con-
sists of four courses: College Pro-
paratory, Industrial, Commercial
and Normal Training. This is as
complete a curriculum as any high
school of the same size as this one
offers, and is as large as that Of
fered by a great many high schools
larger than A. H. s. The one thing
which holds Abilene far behind the
average high school is the lack OF
a gymnasium. 1t now remains only
to improve and develop the courses
we now have and to build a gym
nasium. The Manual Training and
Agricultural departments have been
greatly improved by the addition OF
new equipment, but no department
of this high school can ever reach
the maximum of efficiency until
more room is provided. The high
school is crowded to the utmost this
year. The present building was
built to hold $50. In 1913 the total
enrolment was 214, this year 1t is
2s9, and at the same rate Of in
crease it will be $50 in 1917.
| The Commercial course was offer
ed this year for the first time. and
naturally it was begun on a very
small scale because Of the lack Of
room. Then, too, it was thought
that very few would take it until 1t
became more firmly established.
The enrolment in this couse at
present is as large as can be accom-
modated and more are clamoring to
enroll. One thing Of great value in
connection with the Commercial
course is the compulsory eighth
period penmanship class. The fac
ulty has reported great improve
ment in the writing of the students
taking penmanship.
Now a course such as the Com
mercial course can be started on 9
very small scale If the limited space
SO necessitates, and still be Of
great value. However, in the cas-
of a Physical Training course,
large we'll equipped gymnasium i
absolutely essential to starting l
. at all. For instance, the Commercial
course of A. H. s. is taught in tn
balconies of the chapel, but it 1
, ridiculous to suppose that physica
training work could be started Il
: such place.
q What each individual student Q
n A. H. S. and the school as a Who'll
q is boosting is a new high schoc
J, building with plenty of room and
" good gymnasium. However, all tn
boosting in the world can ava
nothing If the citizens of Abilene d
not respond to the cry for help.

little animal. Chameleon, who has no
color of his own to speak of, but who
takes the color of whatever object
he happens to be clinging to.
1t is an easy thing to drift through
like this, not bothering to show by
speech or act that we are different
from the group among whom we
happen to find ourselves. But the
kind of people who count are the kind
of people who are just the same. as
far as matters of principle and right
eousness go, no matter how the var
ious groups of their neighbors may
vary. 1t is not necessary to be dis
agreeable or offensive or unpleasantly
aggressive. But it is necessary in a
firm, quiet way, to stand all the time,
wherever we are, for the things that
are, pure and right and helpful and
Christlike; to do right just for the
sake of right; to stand for the things
that Christ likes even at the expense
of little popularity. This is part
of the opportunity that the w. c. T.
US have in these easy-going days of
being brave and of taking up our
cross and showing our colors.
A busy woman should belong to
the Union and show her colorS. 1t
will have an influence in her home as
we'll as among others.
No woman should stay at home all
the time. The woman who is always
at home, does not always have the
most attractive home, for she grows
dull and narrow without the inspira-
ton of meetings, and greeting, and
mingling with others.
The w. c. T. U. endeavors to in
struct and educate. We mothers need
instruction and need to belong to the
Union for the good things that we
might learn that might be helpful.
Every question affecting the family is
prominently womanss question. And
the busy woman should belong to the
Union and lend helping hand to
promote conditions for the protection
of our boys and girls.
One man said he voted for prohi-
bition because he had four sons and
two daughters. The busy woman
should belong to the Union because
she has sons and daughters.
Matthew Arnold once said: "If ever
the world sees times when women
shall come to gather purely and simp.
ly for the benefit of good of mankind
i will be power such as the world
has never known"
Is not that the prime object of the
w, c. T, UP Then the busy woman
should belong and help to bring thi:
to pass.
We are the largest organization ir
the world, non-partisan and non-sec
tartan. The national made a gain o.
10000 last year. They hope to make
$4,000 this year. So let me say to the
busy woman: join the ranks and hell
swell the number. The vote and per
sonal influence is what will count il
our campaign that is now on.

STILL IN THE RING.

Fate, you've handed the gaff to me,
Slipped pe many an ugly jolt.
Turned your mightiest wallops free,
Hit me hard as a thunderbolt,
You've had me staggering, weak and
blind,
Gasping. choking with blood and
sweat,
But you haven't got me down, you'll
find
There's many punch in the old
arm yeti
You've waded into me from the start,
Crossed and countered and slugged
and slashed.
Landed heavily over my heart,
Had me swollen and cut and cut
and gashed,
But I've kept you busy in mill or
clinch,
Your hardest rushes and swings
I've met.
And though I'm groggy l will not
finch,
There's many a punch in the old
arm yet!
So long as I'm here in the ring at all,
Until Death hammers the finish
gong,
It doesn't matter how much you maui
I'll grit my teeth and I'll come back
strong,
Though my heart is sick and my
body worn,
Ny nerve will hold to the last, you
bet.
And though I'm battered and manned
and torn,
There's many a punch in the old
arm yeti

Patty.

Patty was an artless child.
Captivating, funny,
With an appetite for sweets,
Craving bread and honey.
Everyone who knew her
Dearly loved to cater to her.
Patty grew into girl,
And, the others toiling,
Patty slipped the sweets of life
Friends intent on spelling,
If their praises had been fewer.
They, no doubt would have proved
truer.
Patty was a charming bride,
Tall and fair and stately,
While beside her walked a man.
Ever so sedately
Not a moment did she falter.
Till she stood before the altar.
Patty was not, as a wife.
Half so sweet and charming,
Folks have said her conduct was
Just bit alarming.
why" they said, lit seems so funny,
Patty's wanting so much money"

WHY SHOULD A WOMAN
BELONG TO THE w. c. T. u

The following paper was written
and read BY Mrs. Ella Bryant, before
the w c. T. U. Institute at Pleasant
Ridge M. E. church, April IS, 1915.
Mrs. Bryant is a member of Pleasant
Ridge w. c. T. u:
Why should. busy woman belong
to the w. c. T. u? There are many
reasons why a busy woman should
belong to the w. c. T. If you were
asked, why should busy woman be-
long to church, you would say, be-
cause it was her tudy to God, for the
salvation of her soul, and the influ-
ence she might have in the salvation of
her family. o. but you say the church
is a divine organization. Is not the
W G.. T. U. part of Gods work.
Should not a busy woman's influence
be felt in that as well7 Decidedly so.
The w. c. T. u. furnishes her a
held of labor where she can bring into
active service all her noblest powers.
l do not say she should be talking
she should not cast her pearls before
the swine" There are times when
doubtless it would be quite improper
to introduce the Subject of Temper
ance at all, but while this is true,
there are many occasions when the
words of fifty spoken would be like
apples of gold in pictures of silver"
Suppose that every temperance wo-
man should let her light shine in all
her social intercourse, who could es-
innate the amount of good that would
be accomplished in this way in even
single year?
Woman's influence should be ex-
erted more actively for better and
purer things. The busy woman should
let her temperance light shine. The
w. 9. L. U. is interested in home pro-
lection. The busy woman should be-
long to the union to learn and find
out what we most need for the pro-
lection of our homes of which the
union makes /, study, and then go
forward to lend hand in the work
OF which every woman should be in
terested. In order that we may have
an efficient and happy home life, the
study of the problems which comfort
the home is as necessary as the study
which every progressive farmer is
now giving to the cultivation of his
field. The w. c. T. u. stands out for
prohibitory legislation as the left
wing, with law enforcement as its rear
rank, and education as the right wing,
and regeneration as the main center
They are not only working to pro-
tect the homes of wives and children
to escape the. want and sorrow due to
drink, but they are pointing those
who drink to the Lamb of God who
can take away the appetite for strong
drink. People have too narrow a con-
ception. oftentimes, of the good the
w. c. T. U. is doing. General How
ard was in Portland, Ore, when the
White Ribbon Crusaders entered the
saloons, with weapons of prayer and
song. In one of these they sang in
their knees:
II love to tell the story,
Because | know it's true.
