at better salaries but who remain with
Abilene Christian College because they
believe the opportunity for service here
greater than there.
Courses of Instruction.
The courses taught as veil as the teach-
ers determine largely the final result on
the student. By examining carefully the
course outlined one will see a great mass
of excellent work offered here. Compare
the scope of the curriculum with that of
other schools. Notice the number of de-
partments the number of courses given
in each one and the exceptionally prac-
tical and usable amount of work offered.
Still a third consideration U the fact
that Abilene Christian College is builded
on the principle of service to the individ-
ual. Classes are kept small so as to af-
ford opportunity for teacher and student
to come into close touch. Weak and care-
less students are called for personal con-
ferences that they may receive special as-
sistance. And lastly the work done in
Abilene Christian College is recog-
nized as standard and is officially
-graded as high as the highest by
Bow me your bow Mr. Senior
Stiff and starchy and all the rest
And I'll dance a jig to a ragtime tune
That'll beat your very blooming'st best;
For you're going out to face the world
But I'm going home to mother.
Laugh me your laugh Mr. Senior.
Tho best you can conjure up
And I'll mako it look like the faded smiles
Of old maids who have lost all hope;
For you're going out to face the world
But I'm going home to mother.
Speech me your speech Mr. Senior
Proud and boastful as you wish
And when I'm through you'll look long-
ingly back
To tho days when you were a fish;
For you're going out to face the world
But I'm going home to mother.
Song me your song Mr. Senior
And let the anthem ring
Then I'll give you one that'll make you
think
You're hearing the angels sing;
For you're going out to face the world
But I'm going home to mother.
Turn down your hand Mr Senior
And I'll take that smile off your face;
Yes I thought so You have drawn the
queen
But by Jove I hold the ace;
For you're going out to face the world
But I'm going home to mother.
