In the arrangement the Chicka-
saws were seated on the south;
next came the Choctaws and
Creeks. and Cherokees on the
north.
The crowd entertained itself by
repeated calls first for Wolyertun
and then for Marcum. but neither
came to the platform.
At ? 2. m. Chairman Gait called
the convention to order and re-
quested delegates from different
parts of the Territory TO take seats
assigned to them. Greatest confu-
sion and disorder ensued.
Convention came to order to
listen to prayer by Rev. Mr.. Law.
The chairman introduced Mr..
Clint Graham for the purpose of |
delivering an address of welcome. |
Immediately the Marcum forces
arose en- masse and demanded that
Hutchins of Muskogee should be
heard and Mr.. Graham was contib-
ually interrupted by calls of sit
down." and it looked as if be
could not proceed, but Chairman
Gait continued to pound with the
gavel until the band struck in and
order was somewhat restored. Mr..
Graham again attempted to pro
ceed, when he saw that he could
no longer be heard, he brandished
a large key and sang out, Here's
the key to the town; come down
and take it and paint it red" and
sat down.
Chairman Calf announced that
the central committee had decided
Fupon Hon. James Davenport o:
Vinita for temporary chairman and
John Cooke of Antlers for tempo
rary secretary. Pandemonium i'm
mediately followed ard for ten
minutes nothing could be heard for
the tumult, but the chairman an
nounced the motion adopted and
introduced Mr.. Davenport.
Immediately the delegates from
the Greek and Cherokee nations
were on their feet, determined that
lie should not be heard.
Woods of Purcell, only a few
feet in front of the chairman,
mounted a chair and made himself
very conspicuous by his gestures
bat of course no one could distin
guish what he said.
Hutchins of Muskogee tried tt
address the convention, but il
n vain.

At the meeting OF the New York state
council OF school supcrlntendents. one
ofthe most interesting discussions OF the
entire meeting was said to have been
on the subject. Vertical VS.. Slant
Writing" The sentiment was over
whelmlnsly In favor OF vertical-only
four out of the entire assemblnge
voting In favor OF slant writing. 1t
seems that there has been IN erroneous
idea gone abroad concerning the vote
OF the borough superintendent. The
vote was not q unanimous one and the
principals lro loft free to teach verlic-
al writing. Il they choose to do SO. The
New York School Journal, one OF the
leading educational journals OF the
United States, has this to say on tho
subject: zone thing seems assured,
and that Is that vertical script has como
to stay, as n standard for beginners In
penmanship. Whatever changes the
Municipalities OF older writer's may

quences to teachers. Their duty is to
present standards OF legibility and aim

of secondary Importance. To this end

Meeting Of Principals.

A very interesting meeting of tho
principals was held at the superintend-
cnts Office on Thursday afternoon of
Inst week. Quite number OF topics
were discussed. The principals were
urged 10 be careful that the reports
made out by the teachers are correct in
every particular, |. e.. as to punctun-
ton. additions. etc. The superintend-
ent called special attention to the fact
that the board of education was the
only power TO grant holiday. No COM
missioner or commissioners could do 50
legally. He therefore suggested that
when any teacher or teachers wish q
holiday. or half holiday, that the
matter'be referred to the board Of eJu-
cation at the meeting preceding the
time the holiday Is desired. q

TOPICS OF3THE SCHOOLS.

The writer was asked q few days ago
whether there was scientific instruction
on the subject OF temperance in the
Wheeling schools. and as a matter OF
course he was forced to state that there
was not. except In the grammar room.
All pupils who pass through our ward
schools preparatory to the high school
study physiology, and In this Is taught
the effects OF alcohol. narcotics. tobuc.
co. etc., on the human system. In the
lower rooms there are no text books on
the. subject of temperance. This does
not say. though, that there Is no tom
perance instructions given. Teachers
are expected to give such Instruction in
every way, and at all times, Whenever
there Is an opportunity to make It Of
fective, and these opportunities come
almost daily. ! 1t Is q debatable Ques-
ton whether this is not tho better way
