NO. 3 . VOL XIII Eas~ern l{entucky State Normal School Richmond, Kentucky January - February 1919 Prepared by Faculty and Students �, • �EDITORIAL AND NEWS The war is over. Now we turn back to industrial life with greater zeal than normal conditions can possibly demand, because we have to absorb the energies of the almost four millions of. men who are re• turning from scenes of the most intense excitement over the sea. Yes, after the getting settled at bo1,1c is over, the returned warrior has b een greeted by old-friends and neighbors, a few days of mother's cooking and mother's love, then the boys must find something to do. ' The war is over, but now the period of readjustment is upon us, adjustment of conditions befitting this great era of reconstruction' as related to every branch of industry in this broad land of ours. How can the schools aid in the process of getting industrial and economic conditions properly under control? One of the best solutions to be suggested is the teaching o! all kinds -of industrial work and applied arts. Teaching, teaching, ever teaching, is the only way by which to .attain the desired end. In· dustrial work, design and handcraft of every sort, must be a part of the daily study of those who ex,p!)ct to compete in the vocational world of tomoJTOW. Our returned soldiers demand this training; the boys and girls of our public schools demand it, and nothing but the mutual co-operation of all, will place America foremost in the production of the most artistic, the most excellen,t articles of com• merce for the home and for use in shops and field . And now it seems that the great vocational education awakening is taking hold of the people throughout the land in real earnest. Prominent school women of New York City have organized a plan by which many poor children in that city, who otherwise, would be compelled _to quit school and seek employment in order to live, are to be helped by means of scholarships. Thus far the work has proven wonderfully successful and societies are being organized throughout the state for the raising of funds. and distribution of scholarships among capable and worthy young people, so that when they are compelled to leave school to seek work (which is permitted at the age of fourteen in New York City) they will have mastered some vocation sufficiently to enable them to live comfortably instead of being crushed down into the great underworld of poorly ,p aid, unskilled laborers. Surely this is a splendid movement and in every sense a demo• cratic one. By way of ediication several copies of the newspaper issued by the soldiers of the Walter Reed General Hospital of Washington, have found their way into the editorial holy of holies. "The Come Back" just bubbles with enthusiasm. Wounded soldiers are being cheered up, educated, trained and made over into useful, happy citi- 1 �4 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW zens at th e Walter Reed. In the words of that paper, "Every sort of endeavor is open ·to the boys from dredging to embroidery. Also, every sort of recreation l'rom baseball to jack straws." It all seems so wonderful and so right for our boys, that one is almost tempted to dislocate a member, or injure one·s self, so that the same enthus iasm might be experienced. SUPERINTENDENTS' MEETING AT EASTERN APRIL 29, 30, MAY 1 a~d 2. The annual meeting of superintendents and other educators at the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School promises to be a big affair this year. A great program is in preparation and will be issu ed later. The problei:ns gr~wing out of th e war will be discussed By the ablest educators in the State and by speakers from out of the State. The work of the Normal School and of the training schools will be inspected. The May Day exer cises will be quite a feature and the magnificent new training school building and the rural school building will Both be dedicated. The convocation will begin Tuesday evening, April 29 and cloae Friday afternoon of May 2. SCHOOL GARDENS Last year the United States School Garden Army began in March and enlisted about 1,500,000 children, who cultivated 60,000 acres of former vaca nt lots and produced food to help relieve the distress of the world. ,The Bureau of Education of Washington has this work in charge. They sent out millions of pieces of literature to help the children and their instructors. Mr. Hoover says that more foe>d than ever is needed now. America has pledged herself to ship 20,000,000 tons of foodstuffs abroad thi_s year. We are asked to enroll 3,500,000 additional children, making a total of 5,000,000, und er sixteen years of age. This vast army, organized in companies of from 10 to 150, officered by a captain, a first and second lieutenant, will cultivate 200,000 acres in school and home gardens, much of which would lie vacant. Many schools have made this gardening a part of their r egular work. Thousands of patriotic ·organizations have given it moral ancl financial support. Thousands of men and women have given their services to it. Thousands more are needed. This work is one of the great results of the war. It is the finest kind of education for the children. It teaches them thrift, industry and achievement at the right a;ge. It reclaims a lot of land that would �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 5 not be worked. It teaches the best form of service and citizenship. It _helps to feed a starving world. If you believe that you wou1d like to help out in this great work, by organizing a school garden club in your school or your community, write to Prof. Clarence Mathews, 660 South Limestone Street, L exington, Kentucky, or to me. Let us see that Kentucky has her part of the army of 5,000,000. Let us do this big piece of patriotic work and give the school children of Kentucky a chance. C. A. Keith, Richmond, Ky. SPECIAL SHORT COURSES TO BE OFFERED AT EASTERN DURING THE FOURTH TERM Agriculture must be taught in the schools next school year. It is important that it be taught right. If it be not taught right, 't he movement will not secure the confidence of the people, and the law may soon be repealed. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers not only should be prepared to stand an examination in this subject but that they know how to teach it well. All teachers in schools other than in 1st, 2d, 3d and 4th class cities will have to be examined in Agriculture 110 matter what certificates they may hold. To meet the neecis of such teachers as may hold good certificates and who need only to prepare to take the examination and to prepare to teach the subject, short cours es of five weeks' duration will be offered during the fourth term. Students in these special classes will be scheduled for two recitations a day in this subject, thus enabling them to secure a regular ten-week course in five weeks. Such classes will be organized at the beginning and in- the middle of the fourth term. Students may enter at either time. In order to enable students to secure a full daily schedule, a few other courses will be offered in the same way. For further information write to the President. SOME OBSERVATIONS FROM THE FIELD By I. H. BOOTHE, Representative. The first week of the Fall Term in September, President Coates came to _m y room and told me to put my work in order for the Boar_d of Regents had decided to send me out into the field to carry the gospel of Eastern to the , people. I at once complied and started on a campaign which lasted nearly five months. We have in what is known as the "Eastern Normal District" sixty-nine counties. In my campaiil).,i_J)._g I traversed about sixty of these counties, and would have �6 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW visited practically every one in the district had not the "Flu" interfered. During my tou s I visited a great many schools, both rural and city, talked personally with scores of county and city superintendents, met hundreds of teachers, and in th e aggregate spoke to at least 40,000 or 50,000 school children. Among this vast throng I met many, many of our old friends wy.o were eager and anxious to get a little message from the Normal. They received me gladly and asked me a great many questions, always beginning, I presume, with their favorite teachers. All the teachers were asked about but some more frequently than others. Out yonder is the proper place to gauge our work, and I would suggest that if any teacher wants his edu cational temperature to rise to blood heat to take a personal active inter est in his work and impress more of hi s personality upon his pupils. But, of course, by far the greater number of people I met had never been to the Normal, and a very large per cent had n ever heard of it. It was to this class of people that I was especially sent. I delivered my message as best I could and am well satisfied with the respon se given. We · have at this writing (Feb. 19) a very creditable attendance-more than this time a year ago-but if the "Flu" hadn't made its appearance our attendance at present would undoub ted ly have been doubl ed. If conditions become favorable soon, we may reasonably expect a great student body at the Spring T erm beginning April 7th. Space and time will not permit me to mention all our students I met and the work they are doing, so I shall select only a few, but this does not mean that there are not many more just as meritorious. In general I will say that as a rule our r eal students are making good. It sho uld be interesting to know that of the 69 county superintendents in our district, 19 of th em, or more than one-fourth are Normal students. They a re Mr. Hays of Bell, Mr. Caywood of Bourbon, Mr. Fallis of Boyle, Miss Hancock of Bracken, Mr. Campbell of Breathitt, Mr. Allen of Clay, Mr. Cole of •Clinton, Mr. Land of E still, Mr. Evans of Fleming, Mrs. Wood of Gallatin, Mr. Meade of Johnson, Mr. Adams of Lewis, Mr. Edwards of Madison, Miss Adams of Mercer, Mr. Jones of Owen, Mr. Caudle of Powell, Mr. Moore of Robertson, Mrs. Denney of Wayne, and Mr. Waiker of Whitl ey. As a rule I found these superintendents interested and enthusiastic in the work being done at the Normal. The office of county superintendent is the strategic point in our system of education, and Eastern will not do her full duty if, within the next decade, she does not provide a str ong, capable, efficient person for this important position. I found quite a number of our best teachers doing grade work in Covington, Newport, Lexington and othei· smaller cities. The r eports wete all favorable. A great many of our strong men teachers enlisted in the army, but I found 0. H. HaITis, Superintendent of Winchester City Schools; C. S. Dale, Principal of Maysvill e High School; Leland Cook, Principal of Vanceburg High Schooi; W. B. Ward, Principal of Paintsville Schools; Willie Ritchie, Principal of Corbin High School, �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 7 and others that might be named. At Whitley City I encountered Miss Ida Morgan, Principal, and her entire corps of six teachers, all Normalites. I found quite a number of our st.u dents doing .g ood work in the rural schools, but most of our graduates have .g one to the city schools. The reason is very evident, larger salaries and better facilities for work. There should be devised soine plan to induce more of our strong teachers to go into the rural districts. This is very vital and should engage serious consideration. I must not omit to mention a serious misfortune that befell our old friend and former student, Prof. W. B. Ward, Principal of Paintsville Schools. While mpving his library he was thrown from ·a wagon and fractured his ankle from which he suffered the amputation of a foot. We deeply deplore this accident and wish for him a speedy recovery and an ability for him to resume his work. We remember Mr. Ward as one of our earliest and best students and with particular pride his inauguration of our first school paper. Here's wishing Prof. Ward, on behalf of E. K. S. N. S., a long life and continued excellence of service. There is a marvelous material development going on in the eastern part of the State; Jenkins, Hazard, Harlan, Lynch and other places are springing up as though touched by Aladdin's lamp. It will pay our teachers to visit these places. It will give them inspiration. It will impress thein with the fact that we must run a "double header" to keep education from lagging behind. This fact also .deserves serious consideration. Eastern has a mission. Its faculty is the missionary station. Its students are its missionaries. Eastern Kentucky, in particular, is the mission field. Will it measure up to its opportunity and responsibilities? Will the next generation rise up and say, "You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting?" Let us hope not; let us resolve not. The condition is changing. The signs are auspiciqus. Let us keep up the work. Let our motto be : "A ,greater school and a better school." Let us unite our forces and in a few years we shall see on the Normal campus a magnificent student body, more splendid buildings and a lar,ger faculty. All this is not only possible but entirely probable. To this end let us all, both teachers and pupils, make a "long pull and a strong pull and a pull all together." I THE FACULTY Miss Anna Lee Davis, of the Home Economics Department, went to Louisvjlle, Monday, February 10th, to attend a meeting' of the Federal Vocational Committee of wl:!ich she is a member. Much important business was transacted. Dr. James D. Bruner, besides writing books and teaching English, is becoming known in the business world as well. He has been for �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 8 some years Vice President of the Transylvania Casualty Insurance Company. A meeting of the directors of that company was attended by Dr. Bruner on February 10th, at Louisville. Lieutenant J. 0. Compton, who has been stationed at Camp Gordon, Georgia, until discharged from the service, is now a member of Eastern faculty. Lieutenant Compton takes the place of Miss Maude Miller, who has accepted a position in the Fugazzi Business College at Lexington. "The History and Government of Kentucky," supplement to "Our America, the Elements of Civics," by John A. Lapp, is the most recent book published by Prof. C. A. Kieth, Head of -Department of History and Civics. At the recent State adoption of text books for use in the public schools of ,Kentucky, the D. C. Heath Co., submitted Bourne and Benton's History of the United States, with a supplement on Kentucky history, which was also written by Prof. Kieth. The friends of Mrs. S. B. Hurne, Head of Handwork Department, will be sorry to learn t'hat her home, the residence of Mrs. Robert Miller on Lancaster Avenue, was recently destroyed by fire. At present, the Miller faniily, including Mrs. Hume and her son Stanton, are living in an apartment on Main street. Dr. S. Myers is now very busy training the cast for the Humorous Operetta, "Polished Pebbles,'' which is to be given in March. In ,the selection of young people to take part in this musical treat, Dr. Myers took the best voices to be found in both Model High and the Normal School, and by the preparation and training now going on, we can safely say that something worth while is in store for us. ·, The story of "Polished P ebbles" tells of the efforts of one, Mrs. O'Brian, to educate her girls ,in Europe and break her way into high society, even at the expense of her half-orphan ' niece, whose money she is willing to steal in order to carry out her schemes. Of course, plans fail, wrongs are righted, and things turn out well for the good child. There is a lot of humor and Irish wit to make the operetta more interesting to the less · musical. On January 29th, F. C. Gentry, Secretary and Business Manager . of Eastern, resumed his duties. For the past seven months Mr. Gentry has been in the U. S. Navy. He was detailed as a Yeoman, first class, in the District Enrolling office, 9th, 10th, 11th Naval Districts, Great Lakes, Ill. He reports having seen a number of former Eastern students wearing the navy blue and they all like it. Mr. Gentry's return released Prof. J. R. Robinson froni duty in the business office. Prot Robinson is now a member of the regular faculty. s: �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 9 K.E.A. The Kentucky Educational Association will meet this year on th e 24th, 25th and 26th of Ju ne in Louisville. This is a change in date, a nd it is to be hoped that such change will not lessen the attendance. SUMMER TERM AT EASTERN Big plans are being made for th e summer term this year at Eastern. Several members of the faculty will offer interesting and helpful special courses, and some of the strongest lecturers in the United States will be employed during the term. A special bulletin will be issued later. Last year the summer term was great, this year it will be infinitely g-reater. At least 1,000 t eachers should attend. JUDGE SULLIVAN GOES TO FLORIDA Our r esident regent, Judge J err e A. Sullivan, h as gone. to Miami , Florida, for the r est of th e winter. The Judge has been a regent since the school was formed. It was h e who so ably ch ampioned the bill appropriating $500,000.00 for the State University and t h e two State Normal Schools in the legislature of 1908, $150,000.00 of which came to Eastern. It was for him that Sullivan H all was so appropriately n a med. All these year s he h as given ungrudgingly of- his time to the school though a busy, a very busy lawyer. His inte r est in the institution is unflagging, a nd his advise· and council invaluable. We all hope h e may have a 'pleasant stay in the land of flow ers. AMERICANISM One of t h e greatest tasks of the schools in the future is to teach the teeming millions of- our people the meaning of Ame11icanis~. This is best done, probably, by holding u~ the lives great Americans as concr ete examples of the spirit of Amerka. Believing this the . President and th!=l Chapel CommitteEl h ave inaugurated the policy of h aving the birthdays of celebrated Americans -men a nd women-recogniz.ed in the chapel exercises, In accordance ,w ith this policy during the month , of . February, th e birthdays of Roo sevelt, Lincoln and Washington were celebrated. On Roosevelt Da y, the address was deliver ed by, Dr. Carpenter, the eloquent ci �10 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW young minister of the Christian Church. The Lincoln birthday address was delivered by Dr. Tilford of the Presbyterian Church , himself a son of the far South. It was good to hear this splendid, broad-minded Southerner , pay tribute to the great-hear ted Lincoln, who bore on his heart the sorrows of a nation for four long and purgatorial years when God was cleansing the land as by fire. The Washington birthday address was delivered at night by Hon. Edwin P. Morrow of Somerset. The chapel was beautifully decorated; the audience was fine; and t he description of Washington's character and services was inspiring. It can not be but that such addresses, so free from all sectionalism, all party bias, will create in our young people a more lofty ideal of what Americanism really is, what it stands for: One flag, one government, one country, one and inseparable. "And the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave." THIRD TERM RECEPTION We are writing this "note" especially to our boys and 'g irls out in the fi eld. The third term reception was held in the library room in the n ew Training School. Students were _present by the hundreds "in thei r best bib and tucker," pretty and well dressed girls an d splendid, good looking young men. Isn't it g-o od to see the boys coming back, in the classes on the "prom," at the games, everywhere? The library room is a beautiful room anyhow, and when Mrs. Hume, Miss Gibson, Miss Hardin and others got through decorating it, it was a "dream." And how the young folks enjoyed themselves. So many folks were present, and so good the appetites that we r an out of cream, and had to send down to "Joe's" !or more; but that was only fun. And how we did h ate to see the li,ghts wink, but we got hold of Mr. Ramsey and just made him keep them on till eleven. Don't we wish he would lose that old fast watch of hi.s that is always butting in when the young follks are having a good time? THE SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT STILL ARE GROWING There is no question that, as a result of the war, the sciences will have a larger place in our schools than ever before. The late war was a war of scientists; the economic contests of the peace to come will be contests of science. That nation that makes the greatest advance along scientific lines w ill be the victor in the contests of peace. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 11 In order to prepare teachers better for this work, Eastern is enlarging and better equipping its various scientific departments. Nearly a thousand dollars' worth •of new equipment has been recently added to the home economics departments, the floor space more than doubled; and the Board of Regents only recently has appropriated $500.00 for new scientific apparatus. Teachers returning in the future will hardly recognize these departments. OUR NEW LIBRARY Watch this department. Isn't it a beauty? What is the cause of that smile on Miss Reid's face continuously? It is the result of $1,000.00 worth of new books coming into her department and of that further appropriation of $2,500.00 for a still .g reater increase in the books of the library. A home with a library in it has a soul in it; a school with a great library is a school of vision and of power. We are proud of our library now; and we are going to be much more so when we get in our new furniture, new books, new pictures, , new statuary, etc. · Had you thought of it? Eastern has just began to really grow. REFLECTIONS DF CAMP LIFE By T. E. FOUCH. Folks who visit the camps, where they see · such a variety of happenings, wonder why the boys are not in a perfect state of contentment. All boys that are seen are laughing or passing in review, which is not half the fun to the performer that it is to the observer. They are seemingly going in all directions · without any restrictions. This is all very true, but sometimes things are not what they seem. The boys have different views. Visitors only see the outside of the shell. Each boy has his bit to do, and in the same manner, as does each cog on a cog wheel. He never ·knows when he is to move, where he is going when he does move, what he is to do while he is moving, or where and when he is to stop. In fact all he knows is to answer a command with "Aye, aye, sir," meaning I understand and will obey, and begins his task. A boy can never lie down knowing that he will get the privilege of remaining two minutes before he is ordered to go on duty. In fact, all the way through, he is only a tool for his superior. While this is all true, why do you seldom hear a boy regret his service? The answer is easy. He knows, besides doing his bit, he is a better physical man. Through drill and physical exercise all of �12 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW the muscles of his body are developed and toughened, and, one of the greatest things, he is taught how to carry himself and really walk. Not only is the physique of the boy made better, he is helped mentally. The boy learns, under rigid rules and commands, to think a thousand times (instead of twice) and i;:peak once. Each man learns because his progress depends on what he says, 'Yhich is most always too much in civilian life as well as in military life. I think you will agree with me that a man is most always more businesslike, speaks more to the point, and is more reserved in speech after he has been in service than before. In other words it brings the boy down to- the bed rock of manhood. Though men are improved in many ways in the service, all may be lost that is worth while. I think I am safe in saying that no other test is necessary to know that a man is a real man, if his moral standard is not lowered while he is in the service. It is by no means an easy task to keep some bad habits from rubbing off bn a boy HQ matter ho"' thoughtful he may be, for he is compelled to associate with · all classes of men. From morn until night a boy must be on guard lest he falls in line and pollutes himself with degrading habits. Memories of mothers' and sisters' last words, I think, have been the mountains between many a boy and downfall. With the near future is coming a greater United States. Practically every home is represented, or has been represented, by some boy in the service. These boys are returning with patrjotism that has never been known before. Emotions of patriotism have been awakened that before were seemingly dead. It is all for this reason: they have learned what their home and country m~ans to them. I �NORMAL NEWS H. H. GIBSON Lloyd Martin, recently of the U. S. Navy, stationed at No'rfolk, Virginia, returned to Eastern a •f ew days ago. Mr. Martin has accepted a position to teach Eighth Grade and Junior High School In · · Whitley City, McCreary County, for Lhe rest of the school term. The students who were at Eastern during 1917 will be grieveq tp_ learn of the death of, Miss Amy Bray. of Pearl, Whitley County, which occurred at Jellico, Tennessee, on 13th of February, the resul~ of " flu" and pneumonia. Miss Bray was a charming young woman with a )ar;:; o ;number- 9f . friend~ who will be saddened by h e'r early death. A letter has just been r eceived from one of our former students, J. D. Whitaker, who is in camp in Texas, stating that lie is patie_ntly awaiting his discharge. o: John Chadwell, an elementary graduate of 1917, is now 'in, ' Dyan, France. Freelin Reed, whci left here in early spring 1918 to enter Vocational Training Department of the Army at Indianapolis, writes f~om Mehun, France, saying he hopes ' to g'et back to U. S. in time to enroll in Eastern this year. A letter has just been received froni Howard McWhorter stating, in spite of former reports, that he is well and happy in France. Mr. T. E. Fouch, who served for some time in the aviation sec~ tion of the Navy, returns to Eastern and resumes his work. Rev. Curt J ett, of Breathitt County, lectured in the Methodist Church, February 14th. Quite a ·crowd was present and• everyone ex-., pressed the appreciation of the interesting lecture.. Reverend Jett is· an able minister and . is devoting his e11tire time to the ministry. On of the most interesting and· inspirational lectures given in the chapel at Eastern this winter, was that delivered by Dr. Carpenter, of '· the Christian Church, on Roosevelt da);. Surely such talks mu~t work !· for good in the lives of young men and women who hear them. Dr, Telford, of the Presbyterian Church, a· Southern -i nan· and - a:.. loyal ohe too, addressed the studen t s at the Normal on February'. : �14 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW twelfth, on the subject of Abraham Lincoln. A wonderful speech it was, and one which surely will inspire young people to strive for the best and noblest in life. President Coates has given many helpful talks this winter term; good, sound advice and personal experience which are well worth hearing. Mrs. Deane and Miss Gibson have lectured also on different occasions. Readers of the Eastern Kentucky Review will be glad to hear the following news from A. B. Thomas, now working in the interest of wounded soldiers who have been discharged, and have not yet found employment, or suitable schools in which to learn a desired trade or profession. Mr. Thomas is employed by the Red Cross, and is at present stationed at Macon, Georgia. In part he says: "I like the very nature of this work, and, besides, I can see in- it a great opportunity for service to my country. Never before in the whole history of the world have men been measured according to their degree of uesfulness as they will be in these days of reconstruction and rehabilitation. "I did not wish to be left behind, so as soon as I was discharged on December ninth, I entered this work." The above is characteristic of Mr. Thomas, and his friends at Eastern are indeed proud of him. Dr. McDougle gave the government soldiers' psychological test to the students at Eastern, one morning this term. Our people made surprisingly good grades, some of them going as high as 95, showing that they qualified for the rank of officers. Our song service mornings at chapel are always popular and Dr. Myers knows how to conduct them to the satisfaction of all. He also, occasionally, gives us one of his interesting lectures. The classes in Dramatic Reading have helped out in making interesting chapel exercises, and Miss Hardin gave a programme herself one morning a few weeks ago. Dr. Crossfield, President of Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky., gave an interesting lecture on "Complete Living," at the Methodist Church, February 7th. Several Normal students were present. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 15 Lieut. Curtis J. Reed, a former stuc:J.ent, and now a senior, returns to Eastern to complete his course. Lieut. Reed made ,quite a record in the Army. He was stationed at Camp Hancock, Ga., when he was discharged. The third term reception was given Saturday evening, February 8th, hours 8 to 10, in the New Model School Building. It was by far the largest sociar feature of the year. Mr. Myers Coates, son of Pres. Coates, has returned froi;n France. Mr. Coates volunteered at the beginning of the war and has seen quite a lot of service, three months of which were foreign service. The Baptist, Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian churches, respectively, gave a r eception Monday evening, February 11th, at which all students were invited, each student going t0 the church in which she or he was affiliated or to their church preference. Everyone that went expressed that a fine time was had. Mr. F. C. Gentry, Secretary to the President and Registrar, having volunteered his service to his country in the navy, returns and resumes his work. Mr. Gentry is much admired by the student body and faculty and all appreciate his return. Prof. J. R. Robinson, acting Secretary to the President during Mr. Gentry's absence, is now a member of the facuny. Prof. Robinson is a graduate of the State University and is an able instructor. Memorial Hall h a,s been completely renovated and is now in upto-date modern style. It is officially reported that the automobile business has grown astonishingly even during war times. Last year's reports show that 1,000,000 over the preceeding year were sold. Yet in face of all this, school teachers, even though experienced and full of glory, do not as a rule, own automobiles, but "foot" it on all occasions. Why · is it thus? Do they of the profession not appreciate modern inventions? Perhaps if the Kaiser had been fortunate enough to have learned to read from papers like the Eastern K entucky Review, he would have grown up a better man. We can not tell, but you see that all your friends read' it reg_u larly. �· 16 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW Y. W. C. A. Very interesting talks were given to the student body on contributing to the United War Work Campaign by Misses Becker and Anderson in the Library of Training School. All were impressed with the responsibility of doing their part in raising the amount of "$5.00 each, which_ was to be a sacrifice. The final report showed the amount for the school was $1,065. On December 2d, Mi&s Ina Scherback came to Eastern in interest of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. Each member of the cabinet had an ·individual meeting with Miss Scherback, and received many helpful_points along their line of duty. Miss Almstead of Louisville conducted the Mission Study Class. A large number of girls attended and were enthusiastic about the work. · Though the "Flu" interfered, still the interest of the class did not cease. Miss Almstead found a way to the heart of each girl, who ' 'k new her, and we are hoping that she can come to us again soon and conduct another Mission Study Class. The Y. W. C.

TROSPER The greatest religious leaders advocate the importance of the Y; M. C. A. The Eastern Normal is endeavoring to make its organiza- tion a 'compelling feature. The vallie of the Y:· M. C.

A. enables them to take a leading part in the religious activities of the community in which they teach, also, they learn to organize societies · wherever· they go, thus getting better acquainted with t h e citizens of :. ~ny neighborhood to which they may be called. One of the great inspirational features of the Y. M. C. A. work is the association with Godly men who are interested in the cause; �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 17 the influence of high souled men on the character of boys can not be over es,t imated. At Eastern the Y. M. C. A. has a beautiful assembly roor:i ·w here the members can feel absolutely alone and apart from the rest of the school. Thlilre is a piano and a Victrola, which furnish music enough for all. There are beautiful pictures, comfortable chairs and a home like atmosphere in which no boy can feel homesick or blue, very long. The weekly meetings are well attended and frequently addressed by some member of the faculty. My plea to young men everywhere, is to join the Y. M. C. A. and reap its rich bene.fits. ' ' �A NORMAL SCHOOL'S INFLUENCE IN MANY A HOME A Novelette GLADYS SM I TH I The Turner family had recently moved into a neighborhood in the foothills of the mountains. Heretofore, they had lived for longer or shorter periods in various tenant houses located in three or four mountain counties. As their worldly possessions were few, moving was not a difficult task, and was considered in the light of an adventure by the numerous children. As t,o how many children there were, the neighbors w ere never quite sure, and often wondered if Mrs. Turner herself could tell, if -she were asked quite suddenly. Suffice it to say, that the eldest boy was about eighteen, the eldest girl about seventeen, and the others, who came so fast that they were dubbed Sis, Sonny, Bub, etc., ·till such time as a real name could be decided upon, were all sizes, ages, and dispositions. The youngest, Ellen, was four years, blue-eyed, and the family pet. One of the middle-sized boys was silently regarded as the "black sheep" of the family be- · cause he dared resent the rigid discipline of the home. He was nicknamed "Shanks" because his hands and wrists were usually so dirty that they looked like a pig's shanks. Mr. Turner had enough Irish in his blood to .give and take blarney. All the young people and all poor people loved him, but people with any financial ability, had no use for his blundering mismanagement. Sometimes, however, his merry good will and hearty laugh cheered even men of affairs. His children adored him. He might almost be called a motherly kind of man. Mrs. Turner had better business judgment than he had, but he followed his own, because he thought that a man's judgment was better than a woman's, even if it were not so good. Mountain schools, good and bad, the Turners attended when they went at all. The parents kept them out when they needed them, and the boys would often think of some task as an excuse to stay at home. The girls were often ashamed of the blunders they made when they did go. However, the girls learned rapidly, especially Martha, the eldest. She was studious, but poverty and her mother's ill health had hindered her. The school this year was taught by a young man of no experience or training. The village near which they now lived had at one time contained a small church college for young men, but this had been removed and the buildings had stood empty for several years. But the spirit of learning still lingered about the old building, and every fall many people's hearts were stirred by memories o! their happy college days. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 19 "Martha," said Mr. Turner one evening after a trip to the viHage, "I heered that a couple of fellers from off some'eres air a goin' to start a Normal in thet thar old college building." "Ye don't say so!" exclaimed Martha, looking up surprised. "What is a Normal?" asked thirteen-year-old Mary. "Oh a school fer teachers or anybody what wants ter larn," replied Martha. "I wish I could be a teacher sometime but I'm afeared I'll never know enough." "Why, sister, you know a heap now," said little Ellen. The father went out of the house to see about the chores, and the conversation was forgotten by all but Martha. After doing the thousand and one tasks that fall to the lot of the eldest daughter on the farm, she went ,upstairs at 9 o'clock to sit at the window of her little room. She gazed at the sky and longed with a longing that was too deep for words for the knowledge that is found in books. The ~esire entered into every fiber of her being and made her pulses thrill and her bosom heave. The news of the Normal stirred all the ambition of her soul, for she felt sure that many of the young people in the neighborhood would attend. In spite of all difficulties she had kept up ·p retty well in her studies with girls of her own age, but now what would she do? Still gazing into the sky where God is, she prayed and hoped and trusted, and then went to bed full of faith and peace. Quite frequently all summer, news of the Normal-to-be was heard throughout the neighborhood. It became the topic of conversation at the village groceries, and at the little church on Sundays. Everywhere people met, the subject was discussed. Girls went to visit each other just to talk al;)out it. In July the teachers came to town to work up an interest in their school. The elder was tall, dignified, commanding, and a graduate of the State Normal. The younger was rather small, affable, courteous to the ladies, but not so well educated. They were brothers, both unmarried, and related to a prominent family of the neighborhood. They were named Stuart, Joe and James. All the girls for miles around were "just crazy to see the new 'perfessors.' " One afternoon Mary and the smaller children, while out at play, saw a buggy drive up the road and stop at their gate. Two gentlemen got out and after hitching the horse, went into the house. The children stood behind some lilac bushes and watched them. After the men had gone in, they rushed around the house, slipped quietly into the kitchen and sat down on the floor to listen to what the men, said. Well did they know that their mother would not let them coµie into the room where the company was, so without any hesitancy at all, they listened. In a few moments the gentlemen made known that they were the teachers for the Normal and were out hunting up students; that they had heard that there was a "promising young lady" in this house, �20 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW ::nd th:it they h a d come to see if she could start to the Normal in September. The children with wide-oi>en eyes and ears, listened intently, while their mother and sister asked questions as to expense, manner of living, subjects taught, and the probable good of it all." After h"a lf an hour of earnest, enthusiastic, and in spiring conver,s ation, the "professors" left. The mother remarked, "Larnin' may be a fine thing fer a body ter hev' arter all." Martha stood in the door with eyes shining and face beaming and the vista of a glorious futur e spread -0ut before h er. The: children slipped out of the kitch en and ran aro und the house and "hid., behind the lilac bush es again to see the departure of the men:· Mary suddenly, completely, and irretrievably fell in love with tlie y~unger profe_ssor. "If larnin' makes folks look like that, and talk like· that, larnin' I ·will hav·e," she vowed. Immediately sh e rushed info the house, got out an old English Grammar, went out and climoed 11p ' int-0 an old apple tree, and began to study al-0ud: "If I love, If 'tliou lovest, If h e loves; plural, If we love, If you love, If they love." At the supper table that night the whole fam ily was wrought up to a high pitch o~ excitement by the report of the aftern-o on visit. It w_a s finally decided that "if the chicken s did well and th e corn crap an d taters wer e going to turn out ·middlin'," Martha should go to the Normal. · 1 . In a week or two, the village dressmaker was brought into the home, and she proceeded to transform an awkward, backwoods girl into a r es pectably dressed young lady. The results may not have been satisfactory to an artist, but they were wonderful to the children. They danced a i·ound them in high glee, feeling very important n-0w t hat there was a young lady in the family. The fifteenth of September dawned clear and cool, with the war mth of August lingering in the noonday sun, and the frost of Oc\ober hastening to meet one in the evening shadows. And the spirit of knowl edge came out of the autumn breeze and stirred the h eart of . many a wondering youth and m aid, t ill the desir e for an education :fiiled their body, mind and soul. Happy 'is that one, who, as Martha, can ehter the temple of learning with reverent mien an d waking soul, ari d linger even for a year und er its elevating influences. . Mrs. Turner took Martha over to the Normal in the spring wagon_ All the ' girls furnished their own r ooms so the necessary furnitur e was t aken with them. The little Turner s stood in a t earful g_roup by the gate when sh e kissed them good-l;)y. The father came in from the field to see them off, and the big boys felt very much left out because they w er e not allowed to go too. After ·they h ad gone, the children wandered aimlessly about the yard, too saddened to play, too lonesome to go into the house and tidy �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 21 the rooms that had been disordered by Martha's departure. The family life was broken into, and their little hearts ached. Finally a trip to the old apple tree cheered them somewhat and they returned to the house in time to complete their tasks before their mother's return. At the supper table every little detail of the mother's trip was discussed, and all the family agreed that, when it came to "gitting" her lessons, Marthy could't be ·beat by any gal thar. Slowly the week wore away. The younger children "licked into the work." Mary and Tom and Jane and Rub cooked and swept, ironed and churned and washed dishes, while the mother . washed and sewed and made butter and did the thousands of other things that the mother of a large f.amily has to do. When Friday night came and Martha came home to stay -over Sunday the children were wild with joy. She gave a .g lowing report of her first week at school. She spoke of the different lessons mastered. of the encouraging smiles of the t eachers, and of the respect shown her scholarship by less alert pupils. Mary, listening, felt that the school life was the only life worth while. Martha tried to report what she had heard in the exact words of the speakers, for she dimly realized that the English the family used was not classical. Unconsciously she improved her own language, · enlarged her vocabulary as well as her ideas, and gave Mary and other members of the family to a more or less degree, a desire to speak correctly. "The matron at the dormitory gave us a talk one evening after supper," said Martha. "She said that our appeara nce . is very important; that people couldn't see our brains but- they could see our bodies, and if we were not clean and neat, and our clothes were not suitable, that we would fail in life." "See hyar now," said the father indignantly, " don't ye go and get no highfall!tin' notions about style and dress. " "She said," continued Martha timidly, "that it was not so much a question of money as of knowing what to get, how to 'make it, and when and where to wea r it. She said that it was the hardest problem a woman had to solve because it never brought the same answer twice together." The family looked amazed at Martha. None of them comprehended tliis last sentence at all, but it sounded pretty fine, so the children looked at her admiringly. Martha continued, "She said that the way you do your hair and keep your hands and feet has more to do with your future than arithmetic or history." "Stuff and nonsense!" ejaculated Mr. Turner. "Git all them fool notions out'n yer head. My gal is good enough looking for anybody. One dress fer Sunday, two fer school, and 'nother fer everyday is enough fer any gal or woman either." �22 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW "Hit's all we can afford, anyway," said the mother. Martha then told them the story Prof. James told the history class of Christopher Columbus sailing on and on and on. "The reason he su cceeded was that he had a purpose, ancf he stuck to it until he had it accomplished." "Thar's one Shanks gets done when he goes at it," broke in Bub, "and that is feedln' his face. Jest look at him eat!" "Shut up," growled Shanks, "if you had dug as many taters as I have, .ye would be holler clar down too." The descent from the sublime to the ridiculous in the conversation of this ordinary family of children would sometimes make a telephone post grin. Every Friday evening Martha had something new ,to tell. She kept all the family "worked up" most of the time. In fact, she rather enjoyed ·the sensations she produced. One evening she said, "They are talking about teaching Domestic Science in the dormitory." "What on yarth is thet ?" exclaimed the eldest brother. "Why, it is som·e thing like cooking, I guess," said Martha. "A widow of one of t1ie professors of the old college is in the Cincinnati cooking school now and when she gits it all larned, she is comin' back to teach us girls." • "Teach you gals to cook!" exclaimed the mother. "She won't know half as much th en as you do now, I 'low." "Who wants to go to school to learn to cook?" asked Mary. ''Whin I git away from this hyar kitchen I'm not gain' ter do a lick of worl,; I'm going ter study." "Do they teach boys to cook?" asked Tom. "Now who is after the eats?" asked Shanks. Martha continued, "A Domestic Science teacher from somewheres was at chapel one morning. In her talk she said that if food were cooked right, people would not git sick so much, an' that would save doctors' bills." The father and mother exchanged quick, wondering glances, and Martha noticed that after that more care was taken in preparing food than ever before. Moreover, in a week or two-, she was allowed to select two new dresses and have the village dressmaker make them. That made her mighty happy. She went bravely to the matron, told her how much she had to spend, and asked her advice about spending it. The matron very kindly talked the matter over with her and advised her just what to do, and with the help of the dressmaker, she got results that compared well with what" the other girls had. One evening late in the Iall, Martha got out an hour earlier. than usual, so she walked the three miles betwen the Normal and her home. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 23 When she got there, the family was in an uproar. The children had just come home from the district school near by, and had reported that Shanks had "got a likin'." They had always expected it, but when it did happen! The teacher had told Shanks to get his spelling lesson, and Shanks wouldn't and "sassed back," and the teacher had jerked him out of his seat and had licked him until lhe pieces of the stick flew all over the schoolroom,- and one of -them hit Aral5ella Hollingsford in the eye, and she said that her daddy would arrest the teacher and maybe Shanks too. The five or six little Turners stood looking up at the big sister, wondering what she would do. Mary, as soon as she finished telling Martha, rushed out to the kitchen, and by the clatter of pans and kettles, one could tell that she was working off her feelings and working up some supper at the same time. The mother was furiously rocking Ellen to sleep, who had ben rudely awakened by the hubbub. Martha sank into a chair. Just then Shanks came in, sulky and defiant. Martha went to him, and sympathetically putting a hand under his chin, raised up his head and said, "Oh, Johnny, how could you?" Something in the tone of her voice and her touch softened him, but be blurted out, "I didn't know his old words, how could I larn 'em?" "Y_ou poor boy," exclaimed Martha, "couldn't you pronounce them?" "Nope, only three." "How many were there?" "'Bout twenty." "You poor boy," repeated Martha, "only today Prof. Stuart said that sometimes folks tried to teach school when they had never learned how, and they made sad failures, and then blamed the children when they should have blamed themselves. Don't you see that he didn't know how· to teach, and you didn't know how to study, and between you, you have spoiled the whole school and yourself worst of all." "I hate school, I hate it," said Shanks. The father had been summoned from the field by one of the children, and had come to the door in time to hear Martha's talk, but unobserved. His anger had somewhat subsided, and the thought best to leave Martha in command of the situation until he knew what was best to do. But he was more convinced by Martha's talk of the necessity of training of teachers than he would have been by any amount of direct reasoning. ' Someone approached from the road. Looking up, he saw the school teacher coming towards him, hesitatingly, nervously, but with a certain determination to have it out and over. "Howdy," said Mr. Turner. • �24 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW "Good evening," said the teacher. "Been havin' a row with my boy today, I hyere," said the father. "Yes," said the teacher, "he got so bad that I couldn't stand him any longer." "So ye thought ye'd jest lay him out, dicl ye?" said the father, half indignantly, half humorously. "Wahl, now, that boy is rather hard to manage, but let me tell ye j_est what I heer ed as I was a standing hyer-let's walk down the road a Jettie ways." Then be told him just what Shanks had said, and what Martha bad said. The teacher looked chagrined, then bumble. Slowly he raised his head and said, "Maybe that is the truth. I didn't know that he didn't know the words. Most of the class got them nearly all, but some of them did have trouble with them. I suppose That I ought not to teach school. In fact, I never thought of doing so until about six weeks before I took the examination. I needed some money, ancl being a pretty fair scholar, I just brushed up a little in my studies, took the examination, got a certificate, and got this school because the trustee and my dad were old friends." "Young man," said Mr. Turner, "Hit 'pears to me that you'n bas a right smart to larn yet, but if ye wahnt to keep on bein' a teacher, ye'd better go to one of these hyer teachers' schools, and larn the business right. And while ye're Iarnin' how to teach, git a few ideas bow to be a good dad-maybe ye'll be one sometime. Me and my old woman has a parcel of kids llyer, and we don't know what ter do with them half the t\me. Me woman wants ter bring them up strict-I'd jest rather let them grow up, so thar ye be. But g'long, now, I'll not do ye no harm." So saying, he turned and went back to the house. 'l'he teacher walked slowly away, thoroughly convinced that as a teacher he was a failure. But somehow be loved the work. He was man enough to resign his position and start at once for the State Normal School, "to larn the ·bu siness right." �.NEAR FUN GEORGE WILSON Wonder why Bessie Gilvan stayed out on the stairs the night of the student reception in the library.

I breathed a careless, happy idle son g, That floated off upon a fr agrant breeze, And lost itself among the whispering trees; Then through the verdant maze it wander ed long. I did not know my song when it returned. A lovely, flattering echo, lost in part, Because it strayed into your open h eart And then stole back to tell me how it yearned. - Thomas Grant Springer. With every transport bringing our men from the European battlefields, we are reminded of a song from the pen of a northern poet, Charles Carroll Sawyer, entitled "When the Boys Come Home," whi~h was published at the close of the Civil War . Written in a broad spirit of patriotism, it seems almost prophetic of the present houi·, and for that reason it is reproduced herewith: The boys a r1 coming home again, This war will soon be o'er; The North and South again will stand United as of yore. Yes, hand in hand, and arm in arm, Together we will roaim; Oh! won't we have a h appy time, When all the boys come home! We'll have no more false hopes and fears, No more heart rendering sigh sThe messenger of peace will dry The weary mourn er's eyes.

A SOUTHERN POEM "THE ALABAMA" While the herois m of the Confederate Navy has been commemorated in many well known chanties of the sea, probably no single sea song has evoked such a nation wide discussion as "The Alabama," written by E. King, and "Respectfully dedicated to the gallant Admiral Semmes, his · officers and crew, and the officers and seamen of the C. S. Navy." The story centers around the . sinking of the Cbnfederate man-of-war in 1864 by the Kearsarge off Cherbourg Bay in the presence of two non-belligerent nations. The musical arrangement of "The Alabama" is by F. W. Rosier, and the verses run : The wind blows off yon rocky shore, Boys, set your sails all free; And soon the booming cannon's roar Shall ring out merrily. Run up your bunting ,taut apeak, And swear, lads to defend her, 'Gainst ev'ry foe, where e'er we go, Our motto, "No Surrender!" Our country calls all hands to arms, We hear but to obey; Nor shall home's- most endearing charms Steal one weak thought away. Our saucy craft shall roam the deep, We've sworn, lads, to defend her; Trim, taught and tight, we'll, brave the fight, Our motto, "No surrender!" Our home is on the mountain wave, Our flag floats proudly free; No boasting despot, tyrant knave, Shall crush fair Liberty. We'll die, boys, to defend her; We'll brave the foe, where e'er we go, Our motto, "No Surrender!" �30 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW Boys, if perchance it may befall, When storm of battle raves, By shot or shell our noble hull Shall sink beneath the waves, Yet while a plank to us is left To death we will defend her; Facing the foe, down, down we'll go, But still cry, "No surrender!" Chorus: Then sling the -bowl, drink ev'ry soul, A toast to the Alabama; Whate'er our lot, through storm or shot, Here's success to the Alabama! SOME LIGHT ON AN OLD SUBJECT "Dixie" made its first hit in the South in New Orleans in 1861, when Carlo Patti (the brother of the famous Adelina), who was conducting an orchestra, used it as a catchy quickstep for a company of zouaves who were appearing entre act with Mrs. John Wood. The march as led by Miss Susan Denin, evoked a "frenzy of rapture," the audience thundering for the seventh encore. From the Crescent City "Dixie's" furor went by leaps and bounds over the entire South. At General Pickett's command it was played before the famous charge at Gettysburg. Believing that music of such inspirational value could better serve the cause of the South beii1g set to more dignified words, General Albe.rt Pike presented a martial arrangement on the theme of "Dixie," which appeared in the following form in the Natchez Courier of April 30, 1861. "Southrons, hear your country call you! Up, lest w@rse than death befall you! To arms! To arms! To arms in Dixie! Lo! all the beacon fires are lighted ; Let all hearts be now united. To arms; to arms! To arms in Dixie! Advance the flag of Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah! For Dixie's land we take our stand, And live or die for Dixie! And live or die for Dixie! To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie" �EXCHANGES JEANETTE WINSTON PATES. A BEAUTIFUL COMPLIMENT TO AMERICA Have you heard that American women are to have a monument raised in Paris to commemorate their generosity? The committee in charge of the memorial includes Madame Joffre, wife of the French Marshal who so endeared himself to Americans during his visit to this country, the Duchess d'Uzes, and the presi,dents of the three Red Cross societies of F'rance. In announcing their intention of erecting this monument, the committee members wrote: We women of France, knowing that we can n ever adequately express our gratitudB toward the women of the United States for their generosity and devotion in t h eir ceaseless giving, desire to see raised in a prominent place in Paris a commemorative monument, so that future generations may always keep in mind this beautiful sisterh ood that forms an imperishahle bond between us. THE AMERICANS AT SEDAN If the occupation of Sedan by the First American Army had occurred 24 hours before it did this great achievement by our forces would have been the signal for nation-wide rejoicing. As it was, the announcement was naturally overshadowed by the report of the acceptance of Marshal Foch's armistice terms by the German_s. Nevertheless, we must not overlook the splendid victory we have contributed in this oper ation to the triumph over the German empire. The task assigned to Gen. Pershing by Marshal Foch was one of great difficulty, of a nature requiring the utmost steadfastness, courage and professional skill on the part of the units and individuals undertaking it. It has been carried out with the highest degree of success in its details. TO A GREAT FRIEND America and Britain stand today loyal and seasoned friends. We have fought a great fight, shoulder to shoulder, with one purpose and with one will. Together we have won that fight. Together we shall stand while generations now living shall endure. The great. war has proved that England and France and America are bound to the same route and seek the same goal. With very human differences of character, based on our several intense nationalities, we fii:J.d ourselves united in a common faith and hope for justice for all. This is not merely an intellectual conception. If it were, all hope of a better �32 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW ordered world, -of a more lasting peace, would be chimerical. It is far more. It is a living, throbbing fact of our common civilization achieved in the brotherhood of arms and sealed with our heroes' blood. A MAGNIFICENT EPITAPH Nothing finer has come out of the war than this line from an epitaph in a British graveyard in France: "For your tomorrow they gave their today."-London Truth. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By RICHARD V. GREEN THE OPERETTA. The operetta, "Polished Pebbles," which is being practised now, under the direction of Dr. Myers, is very promising in every respect. Most all of the characters were chosen from the Model High School, which also furnishes a large part of the chorus. The play in itself is one of very striking appearance and the able selection of the well suited characters promises a most delightful entertainment. OUR REPUTATION Some few days ago when the editor was talking about the sub• ject of athletics with a certain State Y. M. C. A. Secr etary, he was greatly pleased when the Secretary told him of a high school in eastern Kentucky, which he had visited recently, that said that they regretted that they were not closer to Richmond because they wanted to compete with high schools, on whom they could depend for a square deal and courteous treatment. BIBLE STUDY CLASS ORGANIZED Recently, a large number of the boys of the Model High School organized a Bible study class, in compliance with the request of the State Y. M. C. A. board. Our school was enrolled in the contes t for the silver loving cup, which i s offered to the school making the highest record in attendance, lesson study, and other things. The course runs for eight weeks and we have a fine chance of winning something worth while. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 33 ATHLETICS PAUL GREGORY With the beginning of the third term began Eastern's athletic career, and she expects to climb back to the place which she held before the war. Captain of the basket ball team is Vv. B. Trosper, a former member of the team, .who has been wearing the khaki, but is now with us. Other members of the team are: Pitman, Holdcraft, Gentry, ScriV110r and McDougle. SUE-BENNET 19, EASTERN 21 The first game of the season was played at London with the Sue-Bennett Memorial College. This was a very exciting game from the first, and not until the last basket was thrown could one tell who would be the victor. Trosper did some very sensational playing for the locals. UNION COLLEGE 30, EASTERN 22 This game was played at Barbourville with one of the fastest college teams of the State. Our boys fought hard but had to give the honors to the veterans of Union College. Trosper and Lt. Cutlip did the starring for the Eastern lads. CUMBERLAND COLLEGE 20, EASTERN 32. This game was played at Williamsburg and shows the excellent team work which our boys used. From the beginning it was clear that Eastern was to have a clean cut victory, though Cumberland College did some sensational playing. PitI)lan and Lt. Cutlip starring for Eastern. KENTUCKY WESLEYAN 24, EASTERN 36. Again splendid team work made Eastern another victory. It was Kentucky Wesleyan who lay at the feet o.f our Eastern lads. Some starring took place on both sides but Eastern displayed more stars. The fast work of the local boys was done by Trosper and Wyatt. EASTERN 14, SUE-BENNET 17. This game was played at Eastern against the fast Sue-Bennett Memorial College. From the beginning it was a fast, clean and uncertain game. ' Until the last basket was thrown could one tell who would carry the honors, but at the last a hoodoo seemed to possess our boys so our opponents made the winning baskets. Trosper and Pitman starred for Eastern. We have the following games scheduled: February 17. Transylvania at Lexington. February 22. University of Louisville at Richmond. February 28. Danville at Richmond. March 8. University of Louisville at Louisville. �34 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW The local basket ball team under the leadership of our coach, Prof. Miller, and our captain, W. B. Trosper, expect to develop one of the fastest teams that Eastern has ever seen, one that will cut a figure in the leading colleges of the State. MEMORIAL HALL RALPH TYREE "This is study hour, boys, quiet hours from 7: 30 till 10: 00 o'clock, everybody supposed to be in his room studying." Any boy who has lived in Memorial Hall, knows too well the meaning of these words. If he is a new boy, the first time he forgets himself and dreams that he is ploughing old Dick or Jack on a steep and rocky hillside, he will be brought back to earth by these, or words to the same effect by Dr. Bruner, who is in charge of the Hall, and of the boys who room therein. · The Hall is not merely a place to room, it is a home, and we are very glad to call it such. President Coates has had it papered recently, with beautiful paper in light colors. There are twenty-eight rooms beside the reception room and parlor, and they are all nicely furnished. The parlors have many high class pictures, a piano and Victrola and potted plants. The boys are at liberty to play the piano any time they may wish. 'l'here are a good many more boys here now than there were before Christmas. Severai have returned from teaching schools in various parts of the country, and others have been discharged from military service. Among some of the boys who have returned, are Corp. Eari McDougle, who has seen service in France, Lieut. Curtis Reed, who was stationed at Camp Hancock, Georgia, T. E. Fouch, who was a second class quartermaster in the Naval Aviation, stationed at Great Lalrns. Also, there are several boys here •who were in the S. A. T. C. unit before Christmas. Privates Paul Gregory, Clell Ping, H. H. Gibson, Ralph Tyree and W. V. Trosper. The latter was one of the Berea unit. Among the S. A. T. C. boys who returned to their former positions on being discharged from the service, are privates Emmitt Hulley a.nd Luther Stafford. Hulley announced his intention -of going home to Cincinnati to spend his days in bliss with a prospective Mrs. Emmitt Hulley. With the passing of the S. A. T. C. passed the era of Staffordism, much to the regret of the maidens. Private Back has returned to his hardware business. Among the pleasant experiences in the Hall are the readings that Mrs. Bruner sometimes gives us. They are very interesting. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 35 The boys have organized a Y. M. C. },... und er the supervision of Prof. G. D. Smith of the Science Department. They meet once a week. President Coates sometlmes makes an address. We have some rules which ar e made by the Board of Regents. One important on e is : No one is allowed ·to smoke or· use tobacco in any way in the H all. Dr. Bruner strictly enfor ces this ; h e says, "I do not smoke myself, a nd it is no trouble for m e to smell smoke even on the third floor." And b elieve m e he can sm ell smoke where a mouse could not smell cheese. If you do not b elieve it, ask some of the boys who have tried to smoke in the Hall. Boys, if you are thinking of coming to Memorial Hall, we welcome you to our home and as~ you to make it your home. THE PERICLESIAN LITERARY SOCIETY GLADYS SMITH The Periclesian Literary Society is one of th e oldest and best of the Literary Societies in t he school. It h as b e'en in gqod working order alJ year, but upon the arrival of the third t erm, a new lease on life was taken. Now, forty.thre e strong, things are going to boom. This Society is p eculiarly fortunate in h aving one of the jolliest and most original of the faculty members as advisor. The officers, too, ar e representative of the best material in the school.

About' sixty people were present. The room was tastefully and beautifully decorated with valentines. Many interesting and entertaining games were played. As each different person h ad brought a pound of something .to eat, the refreshments were many and various. For instance, candy and pickles, w ere enjoyed, also peanut butter, cakes, cheese, crack ers, candy, apples, oranges, nuts, bananas, and then more candy. These socials add much to society spirit, and are a part of the social training we get at Eastern. The Washingtonian Society has organized under the leadership of Prof. Robin son. The following officers have been elected: President ...................................................................................... A. 0. Dabney Secretary ..................................................................................Mary Wallingford Consuls T ......................Annie T . Burrus, Hattie Maiden, Herbert Frisley �36 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW This society has been or,ganized to accommodate the overflow from other fed erated societies. Although a student has served in the Washingtonian, he may later go into one of the original five societies. A high order of work is b_e ing done this year. CARPEDIEN SOCIETY ELEANOR CAMMACK The Carpedien Literary Society organized .several years ago for the purpose of literary improvement and social pleasure, is one of the leading societies of the school. Its weekly m eetings are held in the playroom at Sullivan Hall. The programs for these meetings are made up of debates, music, and papers devoted to literary and educational work. Several times during the year the program of the society is given over to parliamentary drill. This work is valuable for teachers and those who expect to t ake part in any kind of public exercises, or conduct meetings connected with school activities. This society has an enrollment of forty-two students. On F ebruary 3, 1919, we h eld our first m eeting for the purpose of electing officers. The following were chosen: Presid ent. ________ ____ ___ ______ ____ _________________________ __ __ ___ ______ ______________ Miss Grace Everett Secretary____ _________ ____ _______ _______ ___ ___________________ _____________ ________ __Miss Pearl Scrivener Consuls _______________________ ____ ____ _______Misses Lettie Whal ey, Eleanor Cammack Our faculty advisor is Mrs. Mary B. Dean e. H er interest and enthusiasm in the work help to inspire each m ember of the society. We are all very proud of our service flag, which contains twentyseven stars for twenty-seven boys who went out to serve their country. Any news from them always excites great interest among the Carpedien brother s and sisters. UTOPIAN SOCIETY MARY WILDER This is just to remind you that the Utopian Literary Society has revived again. As there were ~o few members here the first two terms of this year, it was decided unwise to continue our work alone and we were united with the Cynthians temporarily. Mr. Edwards, the Superintendent of the Training School, has been appointed advisor. He is ready for fun as well as work and the members of the society consid er lnemselves fortunate in securing h js supervision. �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 37 The first meeting of the term was devoted to the election of officers: Margaret Wash, President; Esther Gentry, Vice President; Marion Johnson, Secretary and Treasurer; Mary Wilder, Pianist; T. E. Fouch and Lona Templeton, Consuls; John Hensley, Warden; Lelah Gooch, Critic. Although we have not reached the maximum in quantity our quality is of the best and we intend to do our best to win the banner. EXCELSIOR SOCIETY By LILLIAN TUTTLE The Excelsior Society tinder the supervision of Miss Pearl Jordan, met and organized the second Monday night of the present term.

She is wen r emembered by old Easternites, and is a successful teacher at Covington, Kentucky. Lieutenant George Hembree writes us that he expects to visit the society soon, and ten b.s of his experiences "over there." With our v.ery efficient advisor, our soldier president and forty members, we are going to make our society a "howling success." CYNTHIAN SOC1ETY REPORT By JUNE WILLIAMSON On Monday evening, February the third, the Cynthian Society held a most interesting meeting in the assembly room of University Han. The meeting was called to order by the president, H. H. Gibson, and the following officers we.r e elected for the third term: Mr. W. B. Trosper, a former Eastern student and now captain of the Eastern basket ban team, was e'lected President; Miss Emily Jane Taulbee, Vice President; Miss Adaline Colyer, Se'cretary and~Treasurer; Miss Gladys Hancock, First Consul; Mr. Coleman Reynolds, Second Consul; Miss Lorena Williams, Critic; Miss Mary Frances Blakeman, Pianist, and Lieut. Curtis J. Reid and Earle McDougle, Wardens. �38 EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW After the election of officers, delicious sandwiches were served by the social committee, Misses Lucretie Adams, Christine Thomason and June Williamson. The Cynt:hian Society has the largest membership of any of the Eastern literary societies, the number of members befng about seventy. It has the best material of the school both in the literary and athletic field. On the evening of February the tenth, with the new officers presiding, the Cynthians held another interesting meeting. A splendid program was rendered, after whioh the Cynthian boy~ and girls organized basket ball teams. Thes1 teams now challenge any ·other teams on the campus. We Cynthians are especially glad to welcome back to our society Mr. Earle McDougle, who has just returned from France, and Lieut. Curtis E. Reid, a former Eastern student, who answered the call of his country sometime ago, but who has been honorably discharged and is again an Eastern student. Also we welcome Messrs. Trosper, Holcraft,. Pit,m an and Gregory, S. A. T. C. men who have come to Eastern. Our Consuls, Miss H.ancock and Mr. Reynolds, promise us a good program for each Monday night. On Tuesday, February the twentyfifth, the Cynthians will lead the chapel exercises. Our President, Mr. Trosper, and our Advisor, Miss Davis, are planning many things for us and we feel sure under their direction we will accomplish much. DAYLIGHT SOCIETY WORK . \ Students who live in the city of Richmond or surrounding country sometimes .find it impossible to attend evening literary societies. It has been arranged that they may conduct a daylight society in order to get the work, but they continue to be members of the different federated societies to which they originally belonged. The "Philomathean" Society (Daylight) met January 31st and reorganized.

Realizing the need for leaders, thinkers and speakers, the society proposes to give to each member an opportunity not only for leadership, but also for appearing before an audience in order �EASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW 39 to gain self control, ease of speech and the power to think rapidly in public.

The men an!l officers on the different boats, which composed the fleet moored there, were puzzled to know just what nation tJhe cdlors represented. Yes, the thirteen bars, alternating r ed• and white and the field of blue dotted with thirteen white stars had found its way for the first time across tJhe Atlantic to a foreign port. The French officers who commanded that fleet of warships did not ponder over the matter very long, but with characteristic French discernment, they recognized a good thing when they saw it, decided that the strange flag was from America, and gave it the proper salute. The strange ship in the harbor of Brest on that long ago morning, was the Ranger, and Captain John Paul Jones was in eommand. In as muoh as it was only a few months before, Ji,me 14, 1777, that Congress had passed the resolutions making John Paul Jones the first naval officer of the United States, and adopting the thirteen stars iri a field of blue (representing a new constellation) and the thirteen stripes alternating red and white, as our national emblem, the salute from the French navy, was the first our colors had ever received from a foreign nation, and Brest was the first foreign port those colors had entered. A few weeks ago, anotJher · day dawned, a glorious day for the whole world, when our great battleships Pennsylvania and Wyoming, flying the flags of Vice Admiral Sims, commander of naval forces in European waters, and of Admiral Mayo, commander of the Atlantic fleet, escorted the George Washington which bore the President of the United States, on a mission of peace such as has been unknown in all the history of this old world of ours, up through tJhe Goulet into the fort lined harbor of Br!)st. This time the number of red and white stripes was the same, but the original thirteen had grown to be forty-eight stars in the new �40 l!JASTERN KENTUCKY REVIEW constel_lation (representing as everybody knows the biggest union of the greatest states on earth) . The French naval officers had no difficulty in recognizing the colors this tim e and the welcome from battleships and forts could be heard one hundred miles out to sea. Contributed. THE PEACE CONFERENCE It seems that the student body as a whole is not taking enough interest in the Peace Conference at Paris. We think that by the time we have absorbed some Ancient History or possibly some MedievaI and Modern for the next day that we have devoted enough of our time to the study of History. But this is not true, for the greatest event in all history is going on at the present and is it not so that very few of us know just what i's being done in that great Peace Conference? In answer to this challenge it is the duty of each of us: (1) to awaken in \ ourselves a greater interest in the Peace Conference; (2) to examine current newspapers and magazines to learn the various national aspirations and problems; (3) to discover that the problems of the Peace Conference are many, complex, and possible of adjustment only after much discussion and careful thought; ( 4) to prepare ours'e lves to appreciate when the final peace terms are published, how they have been molded and shaped by many forces and influences; and (5) to convince ourselves that history is not simply "a record of th·e past," but is living and governs the present.

Students should not engage room or board before ascertaining from the school that the landlady's name is on the approved list. The fact that women students have roomed or boarded at a home during some previous year is not necessarily a guarantee that that home is at present on the approved list. Students desiring to room with relatives or friends should notify the Dean of Women of such intentions as early as possible before coming, as all landladies are personally interviewed before the houses are placed on the list. The student is urged not to be in haste to engage a room with which she is not satisfied. No pains will be spared to find her the accommodations she desires and in the meantime she will be taken care of temporarily at Sullivan Hall. Table board is $2.50 per week for both men and women.
