THE CONCERT.
A Fashionable Audience Were De-
IightfuIIy Entertained Last Night.

A fair sized, fashionable audi
eDce was delightfully."- entertained
at The opera house last night By
the rendition of an exceedingly
well selected program of instru-
mental music and song.
The concert was for the benefit
Of the members of the band and
the proceeds will assist largely in
the purchase of new instruments.
The use of the opera house was
donated and quite number of
tickets were sold in advance to
people who were unable to attend
bacause Of the cold weather.
The entertainment opened with
an overture by the band followed
by an address by Hon. J.B.T Turner.
The gentleman, in a happy vein,
referred to the excellence of the
band, its worth and the willingness
of the members to always assist at
any public or private function.
Mr.. Turner was eulogistic Of Vim
ita, of Vinita people and her in
stitutions. His address, though
brief, was clever and was well
received.
The music was furnished by the
best of the local talent and the
performance demonstrated that
there is no city in the southwest
thas can present concert of such
high class if they depend upon
their home entertainers.
Those whose renditions we're
especially meritorious were Mrs.
S. r. Crockett, Mrs. Clapper,
Misses Graper, Selleck and
Brewer. Miss Byrd lr0nslde, IN
blackface and the outlandish cos
tune OF negro dudess, sang a
greatly appreciated coon song with
an echo chorus from the wings.

IF THE CHEROKEES
WOuln Ratify the Pending Treaty if
Each Were Given 100 Acres
without Appralsement-A
Petition Wanted From
Town Lot Owners.

A message was received from L.
Fl'Parker yesterday from Wash
ington, D. c., with reference to the
amount of land holdings in the
Cherokee nation. The message
was in the form of "a query to as
certain if 100 acres to the head
would be satisfactory to the Chero-
KEGS. The presumption is that the
pending agreement will be so
amended as to give each member
of the tribe 100 acres Of land with
out appraisement. An answer was
wired Mr.. Parker TO the effect that
such an arrangement would be
entirely satisfactory to the great
majority Of CherOkees.
The presumption is that Mr..
Parker's request was to ascertain
ii the present 80 acre" clause in
the pending treaty was amended
$50 as to read "120 aores," it would
insure the ratification of the treaty
by the Cherokees.
Citizens will do we'll to note the
editorial explanations Of the vari-
GUS clauses as published from time
to time in the Chieftain and under
stand thoroughly jGst what the
treaty really is before making up
their minds to vote either for or
Standardization.
Today another telegram was re-
ceived from Mr. Parker asking
that five or six owners OF one or
two town lots each petition the
government to permit the district
courts TO appraise the value Of the
town lots and determine whether
the present holders have paid
sufficient sum already and are en-
titled TO patents for the land.

her days work with an observation lesson
on apples. This was followed by a reading
lesson on apples. Then the children took
their seats and wrote about apples. Next
songs about apples were sung. Apples wcrN
divided and used in teaching fractional
parts As ii was time for drawing the chill
dren were sent TO the board TO draw APP
pies. Soon the board was filled with all
kinds OF apples known and unknown 10 the
horuculturist. One boy, however, instead
or drawing an apple drew a horse. This
breach OF discipline, or, rather, of the
teachers pet theory of correlation, could
not be passed over He was asked why he
drew horse instead Of an apple. The boy
replied: I'm so sick and tired OF apples
that drew a horse To eat them up.
The 'quick-prOmOtion fad has done i'm
measurable harm. Children. against the
wish and view of their teachers, have been
forced into higher grades than the one
for which they were fit and their educa-
tional progress arrested. if not ruined.
'One of the worst fads of the day is
the extreme indulgence fad. The practice
is bad which lets child have its way and
lets II regulate its relations 10 the school or
the home in accordance with its pleasure in
stead of in accordance with its clear duties.
If the parent abdicates the educational con-
troll of a child he makes a pernicious error
and INDUCES in a common but Objectionable
fad. The child must be taught to act as a
grown man or woman should act.
The good sense of the American people
and Of American teachers has thrown
enough safeguards around the public
schools TO prevent fads and petty errors
from becoming universal The task of the
school is to concentrate its efforts on the
recognized subjects of instruction. Progress
lies in the definiteness of ideas, the logical
grouping of facts, the clearness Of insight
and the gradual strengthening of judg-
ment.'
In addition to the address of Superin-
tendent Sedan the programme included two
musical numbers. Prof Fred Noble, of
Anderson, whose violin playing delighted
those who attended Thursday nights meet
ing, played Alteration" and in response
TO an encore played My Old Kentucky
Home" Professor Mobiles violin selections
have furnished one Of the pleasantest fea-
lures of the night meetings Of the associa-
ton and he has received the formal thanks
of the body. Miss Olive Kilgore, of Rig
don, played piano solo.
The sessions of the association will close
al noon to-day. The principal address of
this mornings meeting will be delivered
by DR.. Swain, president of Indiana Uni
versity. He will talk on "A National Uni
versity." With the formal approval of the
selections of the nominating committee and
the adoption of reports of the council of
education and various committees the forty
eighth annual session will close.

HISTORIANS AND ECONOMISTS.
Addresses by c. f. Adams, Prof. r.. l..
Ely and others.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The seven
teenth annual meeting of the American
Historical Association and the annual meet
ing of the American Economic Associa-
ton began here tonight and will continue
for several days. For their initial gather
ing the two organizations held a joint ses-
sion at the Columbian University, at which
General Adolphus W. Greedy, chairman of
the local reception committee, presided.
The features of this session were the adj
dresses of the presidents of the respective
associations, Charles Francis Adams, of
the Historical Association, speaking TO the
topic AN Undeveloped Function, and
Prof. Richard L. Ely, of the Economic
Association, having for his subject Indus
trial Liberty" There was a large attend
ance of members of both associations.
Mr.. Adams advocated freer discussion
of political questions by scholars, citing
in this connection his own interest in the
past twelve presidential campaigns. In
all these, he said, there had been only
six great questions discussed, viz: Slavery,
reconstruction, currency, the tariff, the
trusts and Imperialism. But three of these
had been definitely decided He believed
that those of slavery, reconstruction and
the currency were definitely disposed Of
but the tariff always would be a great
question and the trusts and Imperialism
were issues of to-day. AS to trusts, he
said that the study of history throughout
would show that the tariff was the bas-
tile of the trusts.
In an academic discussion of the question
of industrial liberty Prof. Ely declared
that liberty cannot be an absolute ideal
because authority is needed in society. On
the other hand, socialism furnished us
with no sufficient ideal of industrial liher-
ty. The true ideal, he said, lies midway
between anarchy and socialism.
