PENSES
OF NORMAL
SCHOOLS
Aiva Normal Had the Largest
Attendance
COST LESS PER CAPUT
Both Schools Are Under Ex-
CelIent Management

Guthrie, o. T., July San interesting
| statement has been made public regard
ing the expenses of the two Oklahoma
| normal schools during the past three
years. During the terms of 1e00-190l and
1So1-1902 the Northwestern normal, at
Alva, took the lead, both in the number
of attendants and the minimum cost per
caput, but during the last school year
territorial normal at Edmond forged TO
the front, leaving the Alva institution
in second place.
Both schools are under excellent man
agement, both presidents have been re-
elected for mkt year and all members of
the faculty have been chosen. The new
school year begnis on September 9, and
both Presidents Umholtz and Conway
are predicting the greatest years in the
history of their respective normals.
There is a new factor in the race, how
ever, for henceforward the Southwest
ern pormal. at Weatherford must be con-
sidered. President J. r. Campbell an
nounces that this normal also will start
on September 9, in temporary quarters,
as the new building will not be completed
by that time. The Southwestern covers.
a new territory and it is believed that it
will not detract from the attendance at
either of the other schools.
The following shows the expense of the
Alva and Edmond normals during the
past three years:
For 1900-1901xAt Edmond: Expendi-
lures s22, 2.53; attendance 3S7; cost per
caput $66.32. At Alva: Expenditures

BASEBALL DOESN'T FAY.
Lack of Sunday Games Said to Be the
Cause

Shawnee, O. T, July 8.-Says the Quill:
Ed Cook, owner and manager of he
Shawnee baseball team, has decided to
disband the team, it not being a paying
proposition.
On reason advanced for the disband-
ment is that the management here can
secure no Sunday games with either Ok
IahOma City or any other town that has
a team capable of drawing a crowd and
without Sunday games the baseball bus
mess is simiply~a loser in Shawnee.
Today winds up the playing in Ok

Blues and when they arrive home tonight
they will be paid of and discharged.
