War Lectures to S. A. 7. c.

A series of interesting war lectures
has been given to the S. A. T. c..
during the period of quarantine.
These are preparatory to the War
Aims Course which all members of
the S. A. 7. c. must take.
Lectures will be under supervision
of President Lewis, Mr.. Parker, Mr..
Shively and Mr.. Harvey.
President Lewis presents the causes
for which each country entered the
war, and the different aims of each
country.
Mr.. Parker discusses the historical
phase of the war, showing the many
controversies and steps leading up to
the present war.
Mr.. Shiyely gave his lectures on
the psychology of the war, explaining
why the German people are such and
also how it is possible for Germany to
do as she does.
Mr.. Harvey's lectures deal with
literature as the expression of prin-
ciples which have developed into the
present world struggle.
Although the course was not COM
pleted, the lectures were interesting
and instructive, and have been a
great help to all the fellows in pre-
pairing for the extensive War Aims
Course.

Why Huttoned Shoes Have Passed

Every woman with her eyes open
must have noticed that button shoes
are little worn, and no doubt the fact
that lace shoes are as a general thing
neater and trimmer and more easily
kept in condition has a good deal to
do with this.
The fact that button shoes use more
leather than lace shoes is the big rea-
son behind their disappearance from
fashion, say those who know. It does
seem a very little leather to save.
doesn't it? But then this is the day
when we appreciate the Importance of
very small things; the saving of a slice
of bread a day, lump of sugar or a
half pound of meat-trifles that we are
assured amount to enormous proper
tons in the aggregate.

The advent of the Student Army
Training Corps into the military and
college life of the nation is of signif-
cant Importance.
1t marks new epoc in military life
in that new recruits are tried out and
their metal determined in the colleges
It is, therefore, more cup to" the men
themselves to determine how far and
in what direction they advance than
would be possible in the larger and
differently conducted army camps. 1t
puts a certain zest into college life
and class room work to know that
every member of the S. A. T. G. is a
competitor for high standing and that
we who are not so fortunate as to be
army men, must compete with that
brand of industry and earnestness
and not be found lacking.
Col. r. I. Rees, chairman of the
committee on education of the War
Department speaks of the S. A. T. C.
as an experiment. 1t is this and its
work is being more highly perfected
every day. Military direction may be
said to be a synonym of efficiency
The War Department in its role of
educator will not stop until this
efficiency is attained.
1t is the part of every S. A. T. G.
man and every student of the Fort
Hays Kansas Normal School to strive
to attain individually, the efficiency
Uncle Sam demands of his army. We
are living in an age of great oppor-
tunity. Our chance is at hand. Who
can afford to fail in Selling it?
