S. A. T. c. A SUCCESS AT FORT
HAYS NORMAL,


The following appears IN the east
ern papers Of the State University.
Lawrence, Kans., Dec 9.-That
the experience of the University of
Kansas with the student army train
ing corps has not been a satisfactory
one and that the student army train
ing corps plan of military training IN
colleges viii not in any way be con-
tinued was the statement of Chancel-
lor Frank Strong in an interview Civ
en- out today.
'FThe chief reasons for the failure
of the student army training corps to
give satisfaction are twofold," said
Chancellor Strong. First the stu
dent army was not efficiently officer
ed and, second the division OF authori-
ty oceasioned by the establishment of
army headquarters here has occasion
ed unsolvable complex problems"
Washburn, at Topeka, and the Sa-
lima schools considered it a success,
but out here on the old Fort Hays
Reservation it was the grandest sue
cess. President Lewis and the others
entered heart and soul into the ar
rangements with the officers and men.
Captain Delaney, with his twenty
seven years of military experience,
Captain Baker, the jolly friend of the
coming soldier boys, Lieutenant DIR.
Hatfield, with his excellent care, kept
the boys in good physical condition,
and the jolly Lieutenants, always
anxious to keep the troop boys con-
tented, made splendid working con-
dition that made the school success.
Then the Fort Hays Normal turned
over to the troops, the splendid
$250,O00 stone building, Sheridan
Coliseum, as their quarters, with all
its accommodations. Let them have
the big gymnasium as their carpen-
ter shop, the Agricultural building
for their Mess Hall, while the Hays
people never left a stone unturned to
make the soldier boys life among us
a pleasant dream. Our school and
the people Of Hays will regret to see
them leave
Every soldier student here worship
their officers, and Captain Delaney
said, ''that in all his military expert
ences he had never had better, more
studious, and gentlemanly set of
troops than these. They learned
quickly, were perfect in their work,
and appreciated what military work
meant, and he regretted to part with
them"
The discharge papers arrived, the
examinations are going on,
and in a few days the troops at Fort
Hays Normal will be a thing of the
past.

Nav Get to Keep Uniforms

In order that the soldiers may get
to keep their uniforms and not have
to return them to the government at
the end of four months as is now the
plan, C. W. Miller, Sr., has written
to Senator Curtis and Congressman
elect, Hays B. White, to use their in
fuence to see that the wishes of the
soldiers regarding their uniforms be
fulfilled. Mr.. Miller has asked each
of his many friends in Washington to
work diligently for the measure to
give the uniforms to the men.
The Free Press sincerely wishes
that Mr.. Miller's proposal carries, as
the retaining of their uniforms will
be great pleasure to them, as a re-
minder of the part they played in the
Great World War.

Presbyterian Social

II there are people who have the
notion that PFesbyterians are quiet,
rigid and frigid, they ought to have
witnessed their "Get-together Social"
Thursday evening of last week. The
Ladies Aid Society planned it and
provided a free dinner About 80
children of the families were served
first, and then over one hundred
adults were served at tables in the
dining room of the church. After the
supper; while the children were being
entertained in the church, the rest
were invited to the Manse, which had
been decorated with silhouette pic
lures of the members of the congre-
cation. The guessing was amusing
and interesting. When a vote was
taken on the homeliest silhouette,
the financial secretary of the church
was about to call above others the
name of one of the trustees, but to
his surprise and confusion the over
whelming vote was for him. The
vote was made unanimous, and he
was presented with a box of cos
metics.
The occasion was a great success
socially and those who were COM
parative strangers were happily in
itiated into an organization in which
fFiendliness and good fellowship
form an important part of the creed.
