There Is dsPosiiion the par Of some to gv.
Up aay further attempts al getting the Christian college
Ths IS mistake. Every person ~ho ha. given any
thing 20 far is SIMPLY giving to himself Lo.s in th,
6oSers trae offered BY the stree. company ar, nov
selling for $50 II the location made there they vii
easily double BY the time the scsOol operation Th.
company GIVING tas land could well afford to increase
the amount What they hLy. lef, would bring much
than il the eoleg. no, built Parties owning
hnd could afford to and should rye land /, will
pay them TO do DO
Those Offering the other site could afford to give and
will give more. They and everyone buying there will
prob, not only in the general benefit the city, but in
! actual returns IN dollars FOR the investment mad.
"A little struggling denonns,onal college without
endowment and depending largely upon local support in
every way Of very little advantage to any city, but
this not in that class 1t guarantees an endowment Of
$4,000 II 1t gets ths, IT will get more 1t will be the
school Of this denomination for leas, three states
There may be- smaller struggling schools Of this denom
lnaon located elsewhere within radius Of 300 miles
but there will be larger one In these days the ten
dency IS 10 cenraize The large enterprise grows be-
cause Of its advantage
An annual income from an endowment Of $4,000 to
$4,000 per year. with probability of doubling or quad
rupling 1t from church donations and buttons absolutely
large faculty of capable teachers With this and
the great demand there will be for such place to attend
eouped with the influence Of this church in bringing stu
dents daily attendance Of 500 within two years from
the time opens is not too much predict II will likely
be more And this without, the real actual gift Of one
cent from single citizen of Tulsa On the other hand
those buying lots and giving them will get back nice
round profit any investment they make
II Tulsa fails to make large city il will be because
too many Of its citizens have become fully convinced
that will be anyway, have placed eIobitan values
on their real estate and settling down calmly awaiting
for the city To build itself without doing anything to
help except knock wha else j. doing
The amount Of money offered could be doubled and
every person helping either by giving land or by buying
lot be absolutely Of getting back more than ne
gave
The expenditure of $4,000 or more in building, in
Tulsa will be matter Of uo small consideration to every
one m Tulsa
Too many good things have come just close enough
10 be almost gotten and then slipped away to allow this
20 continue. The hrewdc,t and most successful town
builders anywhere are in Oklahoma City. The fact that
they are after this school when they already have sey.
ora Is sufficient mason TO know that It is a good thing
II Is worth more than factory employing 1000 men, and
10 won't cost Tulsa dollar u money in the end
Tulsa must have it, 1t Is the best thing vet offered to the
city Having it will help get a state normal school which
will be worth to city than anything the new state
has 10 offer.
