MOVEMENT FOR FREE SCHOOLS
People OF Indian Territory to Hold
Convention at Purcell

Guthrie, Q. T.. Oct Son December .
at Purcell the people of Indian Territory
win hold a convention to memorable con-
gress Tor free schools. The Purcell Reg
ister says the convention is already at
tracing a great deal of attention
throughout the territory, and adds: We
hope to sea 1t so generally taken hold of
that every locality in the territory will
be represented on that occasion. No
question OF greater moment than that of
free schools has ever fronted territory
people. It has been charged on the floor
O. congress that the people Of Indian
Territory are Indifferent in this matter.
We should make the coming meeting
telling protest against this statement by
the large number Of interested parties in
attendance. From the convention should
20 to congress a memorial as strong as
the English language can make it, asking
that congress extend to The youth of In
dian Territory the same educational ad-
vaatases that are given children in the
states As previously stated, mass meet
ings should be held in every neighbor-
hood and delegates selected to attend the
convention at Purcell. A small donation
from each resident OF the several neigh
borhoods selecting delegates would raise
a sum sufficient to derry the expenses of
the delegates in attending the conven-
ton, as it would be hardly fair that he
or they should bear the expense alone.
