The ExPONENTis published this time

without the cover because, as the staff

were all rushed with their regular col­

lege work and examination coming

on they thought they would leave the

cover off for the one issue. After this

our readers may expect the same size

Greeting.

To all our readers, far and wide,

The EXPONENT sends a greeting.

Good wishes for the Xmas tide,

And joys that are not fleeting.

A Happy New Year, also,

We wish to every friend.

"Peace on earth, good will to all,"

Is the message that we send. -A. I. M.

Mr. Lester Davis bas been elected

assistant business manager of the Ex­

PONENT, and Mr. Wyatt Jones was

elected to take the place of Mr. R. H.

Sales, as Mr. Sales resigned his posi­

tion on account of being rushed with

his work. Mr. W.D. Provinse was

placed in Mr. Jones' place as manag­

ing editor of the local department.

There have been a good many re­

marks made about the game of foot

ba11 on the 4th. Some reports have

been started that were not true, and

this would seem to show that some

one had a grudge against foot ball or

else wanted something to say. That

the Butte team plays a rough game is

no reason why all teams do. The

2 COLLEGE EXPONENT.

game is a little rough, but as com­pared with other games there are rot so many people seriously injured. Even at bycicling there are more peo­ple killed than at foot ball, in spite sidering the fact that nearly every col­lege and university in the United States has a foot ball team. If any one who is not in sympathy with foot ball has another game to suggest in which the same discipline and physical training can be had, we would like to hear from them.

Faculty Resolution.

DEC. 1, 1897. RESOLVED: That no student organ­

ization, nor any body of students using the college name, shall be per­mitted to give any entertainment whatsoever without first presenting a written petition to the Faculty Com­mittee on Student Affairs, and receiv­ing their approval.

RESOLVED FURTHER: That this resolution be published in the Ex­PONENT, and posted on the bulletin board.

H. G. PHELPS, Secretary.

Foot Ball.

On Saturday, Dec. 11th, the second team of the college met the high isch0ol eleven, and the latter was defeated by a score of 12 to nothing. The college "scrubs" made four more points, but time should have been called before this happened. During the first half of the game the scrubs made two touchdowns and kicked goal both times. The second half was very interesting as neither side could advance the ball very far without los­ing it. Millis and Will Flaherty assis­ted the high school and gave them some valuable help. The high school

boys play very well, and we expect some good material from their eleven by the time they are prepared to enter college. This is one reason why they should be encouraged. The first team of the college may be strengthened to some extent next year, as there have been some boys, who have expressed their intention of attending college, that will probably make good play. ers. At any rate, we hope to see all the old team back and as many more as will come.

The Cadet Officers.

On Monday, Dec. 6th, at the regu­lar drill hour, Lieut. Ahern read the following: "Qeneral Order No. 1.­The present organization of cadets will be known as the Montana Col­lege Cadet Corps. The corps consists of one infantry batillion of two com­panies, known as A. and B. The offi­cers are as follows :

time during the winter Lieut. Ahern will take those who are the best versed in military tactics and give an enter­t ainment in the opera house, which will consist in the use of the sword and rifle.

The Education We Need.

The changes which have taken place in the material and social con­ditions of the people have modified greatly educational ideals and methods. The question is being dis­cussed as to whether the educations ofthe schools is adopted to the re­quirements of the- age. Education properly considered, is the harmon­ious development of the physicial, mental and moral faculties, and may alw ays be known by its fruits. A lop-sid,ed development must result in deformity, and that which results in deformity, however refined, cannot be called education. It must be ad­mitted that much of what is called at the present time does not result in harmony.

When the child acquires a knowlege of physiology and hygene under con­ditions which produce disease and sickness, the product is not harmony, but deformity. When instead of moral strength, the fruit is moral weakness, we cannot apply the term education to the process . It is pos­sible, in the intense desire to store the mind with facts, to forget the claims of the physical and moral natures.

Rea ding, writing and ciphering do not constitute an education, as many suppose, but are simply the tools or means through which an education can be obtained, if they are properly used.

There are but few who would deny to any the right of an education~ but it may frequently happen in the pro-

cess called education, that the person is unfitted in one sphere in life, and is not fj.tted for any other. When the result is discontent, and a contempt for labor, without any development of capacity for productiveness or en­joyment, without any growth of character, there is no education in the true sense. Universal education is an idea comparatively new. Plato did not include it in his model common­wealth. England introduced it less than a generation ago. Germany rose to the ideal in the· present cen­tury, and while ;the people of the United States believe in the education of all the people they are face to face with the question, What is the best education for all?

As manual labor must be the her­itage of the large majority, the child should be taught the use of tools. He should have impressed upon his mind the dignity of honest toil. If this is entirely neglected in his educa­tion we need not wonder that man­ual labor will be a last resort, and will be continued so long as necessity demands. It is of the utmost im­portance that children in our cities and towns should have facilities for training in accurate hand-work. One of the most serious features of the concentration of our population in cities is that manual training is de­nied them. President Elliot says, "or­ganized education must suppl:y in cities a good part of the manual and . moral training which the co-operation of children in the work of father and mother affords in agricultural com­nmnities." Such training will pro­vide in large measure the physical culture needed in education. As to the moral side of culture, every child should be taught that the highest attainment possible in life is strength and beauty of character.

4 COLLEGE EXPONENT.

The pupil should be taught that the best and truest citizen is he who knows be3t his duty as a member of society, that he is in no sense educated who is selfish or greedy or brutal in his intercourse with his fellow-men.

FOOT BALL.

The College vs. Butte High School.

The last game of foot ball that the College team will play this year came off here on December 4th. This was thefourth gamethattheyhaveplayed, and w bile they came out victorious in only one they did good hard playing in all, and know much more about the game than they did two months ago.

The College team met the High School team at the Bozeman hotel at 12:30 and marched from there to the foot ball grounds. The were led by the band and followed by the College Cadets in uniform. The grounds were in very good condition, and the weather could not have been much better. . There was a large crowd in a ttendance, and as this was almost the first game of foot ball ever played in Bozeman it made it difficult for everyone to understand the game.

The game was called shortly after one o'clock and our boys had the kick­off. Patterson kicked the ball far into Butler field and Dawson advanced the ball a few yards and was downed. The High School then made stea.dy gains until within five yards of the College boys' goal. Here the High School could not gain further, and so lost the ball on downs. Patterson made a left end play and gained ten yards . After another play or two the College lost the ball on a fumble. The High School then made a touch-down and kicked goal. Score, 6 to 0 in favor of High School.

Patterson again kicked off and the High School advanced the ball a few yards. They then made a play through left end and one of their players made a run of twenty-five yards, but was outrun and downed by Waters. The High School then made another touch­down but failed to kick goal. The College again kicked to High School and they succeeded in making another touch-down and kicked goal. Score 16 to 0 in favor of High School. This ended the first half of the game.

The second half began by the High School kicking the ball to the College. Chas. Flaherty caught the ball, ad­vanced it a fe,~, yards, and was downed by Brown, who made a fou l tackle which gave the College fif­teen yards. The College boys then gained the center of the field and Patterson made an end run of thirty yards. The ball was then in the hands of both sides alternately for some time and neither could make any great gains. The High School had the ball within five feet of the College boys' goal line when they made a fumble and Boyles fell on the ball. Seyler then made a run through left end, and with the good interference of C. Flaherty and Moore, and was al­lowed a clear field to run through. This was the play of the season and could not be done once in a thousand times. A longer run could scarcely be made, for when the ball was passed from the full back to the quarter back it was outside the end line. This was rather a surprise to the Butte boys, as they had held their own until this time. Time was called before the ball was kicked off again, and so the final score was 16 to 6 in favor of the High School.

The only one that dropped out on account of being hurt was Tonkin, Butte's center rush. The lin~-up was

COLLEGE EXPONENT.

Some of the students in the book­keeping class are having considerable trouble in balancing their books.

The EXPONENT extends a hearty Xmas greeting to a11 its readers, and wishes them a Happy New Year.

Professor-"Translate the sentence~ Was frist der hund?"

Student-"What eats the dog."

Captain Sales, of Company A, still has his hand bound up from the effects of the Missoula football game.

Not all of the members of the faculty and only a few of the students are on the list of the ExPONENT's subscribers.

Misses Eva Eckenbeck and May Andrews were sick for a week, but came back to school for examinations.

It is all the go now with the cadets to have their pictures taken with their unitorms. See our advertisers.

Parties going up and down the steps to the business department are advised to take more steps and make less noise.

Turn over a new leaf, open your hearts and your pocketbooks and we will have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

The enrollment of the college bas almost reached the 200 mark and will no doubt pass this number when the winter term begins.

We are glad to note the number who are interested in the building up of our college, and hope that others will follow the example.

Allen Cameron, a former student of the college, was up in the Basin hunt­ing the first of the month and came back with several deer.

Blankenship & Brooks are going to put in a stock oflivery in a few days. Straw rides a specialty. Give them a call while sleighing is at its best.

Miss Hattie Stre~t and Mr. Clar­ence Sloane, of the post graduate course in book-keeping, will take their examinations during the vacation.

Owing to the break in the water pipes the students in t4e laboratories were compelled to do without water on Tuesday and Wednesday ot this week.

The students of the art class are thinking of giving a costume party sometime after Xmas. We hope that their contemplations may become resolutions.

The students did not like the idea of having school on Saturday, Dec. 11th, but they made no complaints about being excused on Wednesday, November 24th.

Examinations began on Saturday, the 18th, so as to get through by Tuesday and allow those who intend to spend the holidays at home a longer vacation.

The students of the art class are still designing. Some very nice work has been done. Some of the pro­fessors suggest that the "designing"­stay in the art class .

Friday was a very busy day in the business department, as all the stud­ents were closing out their business

and getting ready for a new start m

life after the :first of the year.

The Bankers Life Insurance Com­

pany, of Des Moin: Iowa, is the cheapest and most reliable.

BLANKENSHIP & BROOKS, Agents.

The advanced rhetoric class has had some work in writing verse. We do not know who suffered the great­est inconvenience from this attempt, the instructor or the students.

The EXPONENT would be glad to have any item of interest about the former students of the college, as we believe this to be one of the most in­teresting departments of the paper.

The EXPONENT extends thanks to those who have contributed verse for its publication and is glad to receive such work. Now won't someone write a good short story on college life?

The merchants seem to be doing an extra amount of business this Xmas. This is probably because there was a wave of prosperity swept over the valley this fall in the way of high prices in grain.

On the evening of Dec. 4th the Arena . debated the question, Should the

game of football be encouraged in and among colleges and high schools? The judges rendered an unammous decision for the negative.

By the action of the local and the state boards, in December Professor Williams is to have an assistant in mechanical engineering. This is an­other important move in the rapid building up of the college.

Miss Cantwell'sreadingclass, which meets Monday evenings from seven until eight, has increased greatly in size. During the next term they hope to spend a little time, after the read­ing is over, insome instructive games.

Lieut. Ahern says that the cadets have done very well for a beginning in target practice, as he has known cases where a similar lot of students would shoot all over the end of a

building when shooting inside as they have been doing.

One of the members of the staff re­ceived a letter lately from Howard

Shaw of Gilt Edge who says he be­lieves in a good cause and so sends 50c for a years subscription to the EXPONENT. We are always glad to receive such letters.

That we are to have a gymnasium

is now a settled fact as the state board has appropriated money for this purpose. Lieut. Ahern will have charge of this department and will no doubt have the best that can be had with the money available.

Saturday Dec. 11th the Arena elect­ed officers for the winter term as follows: - president, T. 0. Caldwell; vice president, Walter Davis; secre­tary, W. D. Provinse; treasurer, F . Sloan; serg't at arms, James Martin; critics, E. Burk and H. B. Waters.

There is some talk in having the High School boys put in uniform and establishing a cadet corps in the High School. This would be a good thing for the high school boys and should be encouraged by all those who be­lieve in a well developed body as well as mind.

8 COLLEGE EXPONENT.

Several of the instructors will leave Bozeman to spend the holidays. Miss Cantwell will visit her home in Iowa and Dr.Jennings will also spend Christmas at his home in Illinois. Some of the others will attend the State Teacher's Association which is to be held at Helena.

In our last issue we forgot to men­tion the marriage of Miss Bessie Inabnet, a former student of the col­lege, to Mr. Robert Todd. Mr. Todd is one of the most prosperous young farmers of Camp Creek, and the Ex­PONENT extends its best wishes to the young couple.

WANTED-Trustworthy and active gentlemen or ladies to travel for re­sponsible, established house. Monthly $65.00 and expenses. Position steady. Reference. Enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope. The Dominion Company, Dept. V., Chicago.

The free parliament paper presented by W. D. Provinse, to the Arena, Sat­urday evening Dec. 11th, was debated at great length pro. and con; a great deal of interest being aroused. Mr. Provinse's subject was,-"Should the college build the sidewalks to the new buildings?" He took the affirmative.

Lieut. Ahern has been appointed to the chair of Forestry in the college. He will start a class in this· work at the beginning of next term, and only those who are taking a scientific course will be allowed to take it, as it requires a knowledge of several of the different sciences.

The cadets enjoyed themselves very much at target p.rnctice on Saturday, Dec. 18th. There were some good shots made. Lester Robinson is the best so far, making 22 points out of a

possible 25. E. J. Moore made 21 and there were some others that made 20 points. The rifles seem to shoot high, which makes it very inconvenient at first.

Mr. Harry Patterson, captain of the college foot ball team, received a picture of the Missoula team, which was sent to the college team. This is a very good picture, and the Missoula boys look as large on paper as they did in the game at Missoula. It would be well for our team to return the compliment by sending the Univer­sity team a picture.

Mr. Homer Thompson was in town on the 18th. He is teaching school near Manhattan, and is a graduate of the high school in '97 Mr. Thomp­son has four more months to teach there and then will teach a three months term near his home. He says, that he intends to enter college here next fall, and the EXPONENT hopes that he will carry out his intentions.

A good many questions have been asked concerning the meaning of the different chevrons on the cadets arms; four stripes signifies captain, three signifies lieutenant, two stripes and a diamond means 1st sergeant, two stripes means sergeant and two stripes below the elbow is the mark for corpora1. There are more than twenty officers altogether.

It would be wise to advise some of the students in the regular college eourse to take a few lessons in 'the art ofletter writing. Last week a young

· gentleman, after reading a note writ­ten to a young lady by one of his gentleman friends, remarked: "One would think my friend had never studied grammar to see that letter,

written without regard to punctua­

tion or capitalization."

The last meeting for the term of the

Arena was held on Saturday, Dec.18.

There are 1 7 members in the society

at present, which is not as many as

there were last year, but still enough

to have interesting and helpful meet­

ings. The officers that were elected a week earlier were regularly installed.

A resolution was passed which may

interest ex-members of the Arena. It

was as follows: "That the society

admit to its meetings all ex-members

of the Arena, whether in college at

present or in· town, and that they

shall always be welco ed when they

may desire to come among us."

The freshman chemistry class 1s

comfortably situated m the new

building. Monday, Tuesday and

Wednesday are the regular labora­

tory days, but some of the students

work nearly every afternoon in the

week including Saturday. The work

thus far has been very interesting.

Experiments with hydrogen seem

very amusing to all, but experiments

with carbon bisulphide are passed

over very quickly and results are

almost guessecl at. Some of the boys,

while closely watching the action of

metallic sodium on water, discovered

a new method of shaving. We ad­

vise beginners to cover up their eye-

(

brows and bangs before trying the sodium method for shaving.

The young men who took up cook­

ing have completed the short course.

This class has been a most pleasant

one, both for students and faacher.

The boys have not only learned to do

good plain cooking, but have given

two dinners which were well prepared

and daintily served. Friday, Decem-

ber third, was the date of the last

dinner. Lieut. and Mrs. Ahern, Miss

Cantwell and Prof. Currier were

present. Mr.Ellis Moore and Mr.Chas.

Flaherty were hosts, and Mr. Lester

Davis and Mr. Will Flaherty waited

on the table. MENU.

The Contemporary Club.

The Contemporary Club met with Miss Cantwell at the Martin House on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Miss Travis rendered a solo. Mrs. Ahern read an selection entitled "Lamentations of Jeremiah." Mrs. Ahern is an excel­lent reader and her rendering very pleasing. A solo by Prof. Currier completed the program of the eve­ning. The visitors that attended the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Koch and the ladies that stay at Mrs. Martin's. Not all of the faculty were present. It was a very interesting meeting, and all enjoyed themselves very much.

Football.

"Foot-ball, foot-ball" is the cry

That fills the frosty air.

And foot-ball suits are all we see,

And lots of foot-ball hair.

They tell us that for foot-ball

Long hair is just all right;

But we would think to see it

It might impair the sight.

Swelled lips (we might say also heads)

Are seen on every boy;

But foot-ball is the only thing

That seems to bring them joy.

It's "foot-ball" in the morning,

And then again at night.

Oh yes, we all play foot-ball.

It's simply "out of sight." -A.I.M.

Song.

When the apples are a -roasting,

And the cider's in the jug,

And the wind blows down the chimney

Till the cinders strew the rug;

Though my pipe is on the mantel

With the matches for a light,

Thflre's a memory that haunts me,

And I cannot smoke to-night.

COLLEGE EXPONENT. 11

Oh, the memory that haunts me,

And the cinders on the rug,

And the pipe upon the mantel

By the old blue china mug.

Oh, the sweet face that bewitched me

In the dear old long ago,

When we sat and roasted apples,

With our faces all aglow.

Together up the cellar steps

We brought the cider jug,

And drank each other's happiness

From out the self-same mug.

Then her head upon my shoulder

In the dying ember's light.·­

Oh, the memory of it haunts me

And I cannot smoke to-night.

A song of the dusty city,

Sung by the ink-stained clerk;

Tuned ,tween a dirge and a ditty

To the metrical beat of work.­

Heigho ! when the pave is ringing

With the strident wheel and the hoof,

'Tis strange that the heart keeps singing,

-There's gold in the dreary woof.

Not for the country places,

Nor the burthened theme of love, .

Nor the old pipe· lauded graces,­

Nay, but a simple carol,

After the flying pen,

With a check and receipt apparel,

Debt I credit I and debt again I

A song of the dusty city-

The kindness and love of man.

What liking and life and pity

E'en in the worlding's plan;

So this busy sphere keeps moving,

Nor to its rhymes aloof,

And singing, and so keeps proving

There's gold in the dreary woof.
