S. A. T. C.
The unexpected, decisive, and complete end of the war brought
about the death of the Students Army Training Corps. Termination
of hostilities made the organization not only a useless thing but a
positive menace to the efficiency of the educational institutions of the
country.
Had the war continued, as was expected when the Student Army
was planned in September, the S. A. T. C. would have become an all
important branch of the service. The extension of draft age limits
made necessary an immediate source from whWh officers could be
drawn, and the universities and colleges of the country were paid the
high compliment of being selected for this purpose. Here would be
gathered the educated class of the country's young man power, untouch
ed by the selective draft, and given an opportunity to 6how their abil
ity, or their lack of it. Transfer to officers 'training camps, to army
cantonments, or permission to remain in school and continue technical
work, were to be the ultimate purposes of the organization.
But with the termination of hostilities and the beginning of recon
struction, the S. A. T. C. died a natural death, rather prolonged, ac
cording to its members, but still as speedy as army red tape could
make it. The Inconvenhences and discomforts of barracks life were
endured without a murmur during the days of the war, but with the
signing of the armistice, the rigid discipline and restraints placed upon
the men became irksome. The morale has declined in spite of the
efforts of officers to keep it up, for the very natural reason that the
men felt their work was useless.
What would have become a powerful instrument, in helping the
nation win the war now seems to have been an extravagance, but it
must be remembered that the S. A. T. C. was planned for war and not
for peace. The founders of the S. A. T. C. built wisely for war-times,
but too well for the days of peace. Daily Kansan.
When the quarantine was placed, upon the S. A. T. ('. yesterday,
to last until demobilization was completed, it seemed like the very last
straw! Bad as Indefinite quarantine, which is what this seems to '
amount to, is in war times, when such eccentricities are to be expected
from those in command, it is a thousand times worse coming after
peace has been declared and demobilization orders have come. This
is only one of the troubles that have thrust themselves upon the mem
bers of the Student's Army. We can remember others vaguely.
Although the S. A. T. C. has seemed in many ways a thoroughly
d'sguised blessing, now that it is being disbanded we cannot help but
realize what a splendid organization it has been, and what success
would have come to it, had conditions been such as to warrant its
continuation.
The S. A. T. C. has created a democratic, fraternal spirit among
its members. It has given all of us a more serious. purposeful con
ception of school life. We know how much work ran be done under
pressure. We are, as a result, less fiivolous, l-ss -o ia! and mr.ro
sociable.
Thus it is as we see the demobilization, and experience this
"grand andlorious feeling," we find nothing of regret and much of
gratitude within us.
MANNERS AND SUCCESS
By H. Addington Bruce.
(Author of "The Riddle of Personality," '"Psychology and
Parenthood," etc.)
(Copyright, 1918, by The Associated Newspaper?)
You come complaining of lack of success. You have worked hard,
you have been scrupulously honest, you know that your failure to pro
gress is not due to any shortage in intelligence. Yet you have to
admit that you have made little headway in business.
How are your manners?
Many, Many years ago that paragon of worldly wisdom. Lord
Chesterfield, wrote to his son:
"Yon better return a dropped fan genteelly than give a thousand
pounds awkwardly. And you had better refuse a favor gratefully
than grant it clumsily.
"All your Greek can never advance You from s-cretaray to envoy,
or from envoy to ambassador. But your address, your air, your man
ner, if good, may."
To the same effect Emerson declared:
"Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the
mastery of palaces and fortunes wherever he goes; he has not the
trouble of earning or owing them; they solicit him to enter and pos
sess." And a more modern exponent of the principles cf success, Wiliiam
Mathews, adds that pcinled remirder:
"While coarseness and gruffness lock doors and close hearts, court
esy, refinement, and gentleness are an 'open sesame' at which bolts
fly tack and doors sw ing cpen.
-The rude, boorish man, even though well meaning, is avoided by
a!l. Even Tirtue Lself U offensive when coupled with an offensive
manner."
,vrh.r- ou have forgotten, or never given sufficient thought to
,h. mutant truth embodied In these notations.
Scr.m. In business, no matter hat the business, depends to a
,arge extent on M,uohncss of Intercourse with other people. And
tmcothneM of intercourse largely depends on good manners.
Customers will not tolerate rudeness. Employers give it short
hrlft. EmpIoev8 are made resentful by It.
Its effect In oth.r words. Is to develop a universal atmosphere of
antagonism. All who can do fo will keep out of this atmosphere All
who cannot will be poisoned by It. so that their working efficiency falls
off adly.
rYanklv, now. what Is your habitual attitude toward those for
whom you work, or toward those who work for you?
Ik you mat them considerately or inconsiderately? lo .xou rwpeci
the Integrity of their personality when you have occasion to speak to
them? Are ou consl. tently courteous or consistently rude in your
dealings with other people?
These are questions it may be well worth your while to consider
attentively and to answer candidly. For. quite conceivably, the one
thing juu really need to convert failure Into success may be to brush
up your manners.

"HER LETTER"
you ever invite your sixteen-
year-old sister down to a house dance
which your sorority was giving? And
did she respond to your letter of in
vitation, somewhat lhusl ?
IVar Sis:
I'm Just tickled to death at the
thought of going to that dance! Have
you invited a man for me yet? If you
have not. phase try to get me a hand
some one. tall and dark like the
kind you see in Arrow collar adver
tisements. 1 would like to have him
be quite old. at least twenty-one I
think that these high school young
sters are awfully boring. 1 hope you
can get a good dancer, for 1 have some
new pumps, silver ones of which
mother disapproves because of the
high heels. I can't get around very
well with the heels yet, but as you said
about your lieutenant friend, they are
good to look upon," which in the case
of the heels is true.
Sis, what shall 1 wear? Mother
wants me to wear my white organdie.
but I don't look a day over fifteen in
it, and people would think that I am
an awful youngster. And Sis, do me a
favor, write to mother and tell her that
you realy think I need some spats my
tan shoes look awfully crude with my
suit, and mother says spats are abso
lutely ridiculous for a girl of my age
isn't that disgusting when , I have
been sixteen for two yeeks? I'm go
ing to wear Alice's hat please don't
bawl me out when you see it. Right
now, I'm trying to talk mother into
leu ing me get a marcel wave.
Please write to mother and tell
her that I should come on the four
thirty train. I can cut out geometry
class if I do this, and of course our
parents do not think I should. Sis, do
these things remember 1 know a lot
alout your past of which mother little
dreams. I am not a cat in saying this
but I must have the spats, and I
must get out of the geometry.
Yours hopefully,
BETTY.
P. S. Try to get me a man t'nat
wears a uniform, and PLEASE do not
tell the girls at the house that mother
thinks I am t'o young to play aroun i
with men.

DAILY DIARY RHYMES
By
Gayle Vincent Grubb
He has tasted all the goodies
That are on the pantry shelf,
He has paid no heed to scolding.
Knows no master but himself.
He has torn the daily paper
And invited fn the flies.
Spilled the milk and put his feet
In dough just startin' out to rise.
Oh, a thousand crimes he's figured in.
And looked at as a joke,
Never heeds, destruction owns him
As he eyes a vase he's broke.
Or is unaware of mud tracks
From the front door to the back.
Or the neighbor's cata who's claws
Are waitin' sharper than a tack.
But who? Ah. friends, I eeem to feel
Your wits are beating mine.
You are thinking, you are musing
Even more, perhaps yon pine
For the backward turn of old man timo
The chance to once aga'n
Break a vase or stacks of dishes
Like you used to break them then.
But no! Thoee daya are over and
Time leaps on as a frog.
So we turn destruction over to
Some other PCPPY DOG.
