WE CANNOT TELL YOU

Two persnos, neither of them, it
may be, very amiable or very beauti-
full, meet, speak a little and look a
little into each others eyes. That
has been done a dozen or so Of times
in the experience of either with no
great result. But on that occasion
all is different. They fall at once
into a state in which another person
becomes to us the very gist and CEN
ter point of Gods creation. And all
the while their acquaintance look
on in stupor and ask each other with
almost passionate emphasis what So
and-So can see in that woman, or
Such-an-One in that mani | am
sure, gentlemen, | cannot tell you.

NORMAL SCHOOL
PROPOSITION
PROFESSOR SMITH LAYS PLAN
BEFORE SCHOOL BOARD.
WOULD COMMENCE SMALL
Tulsa Can Get in on Ground Floor If
Suggestion Is Adopted-She
Will Have Competition.

\ proposition to establish a Nor
NAL School in Tulsa, has been re-
ceived in this city aud will be brought
up at the next meeting Of the school
board. 1t is made by W. S. Smith,
and is addressed to the president of
the board of education.
Mr.. Smith says that he is a pro-
fessional teacher and has many years
experience as superintendent and
principal Of schools in Illinois and
New York, He is a native of New
York, "A thorough organizer and
promoter, and town builder" His
letter is addressed from Guthrie, o.
+, He says:
IL have been in correspondence
with several parties in the Indian
Territory with view TO establish
lng NOW the nucleus of permanent
Normal School at some Of the Terri
tory towns. Under what laws are
the towns organized and governedl :
What source of taxes for support of
schools have youl How much will
be raised the ensuing yeari
1t is my desire to organize
Normal School in the northeastern
part of the Territory at the earliest
possible moment, and | believe the
seed can be planted now for per-
manent school.
IF You have the funds to suppotr
u High School, you can carry out
my project and make big winning.
Oklahoma has three large Normal
Schools, now overflowing. The Ed
mond Normal has thirty, professors,
with salary expenditure of about
So, 1000 per annum, and much more
spent annually. Hundreds of child
ren, with their parents in many cases
locate there for from two to four
years, for educational purposes. The
same is true of Weatherford and
Alva.
"Now two Normal Schools will
be an immediate necessity in the In
dian Territory, as soon as statehood
is established. There will be a fight
for location of these important state
schools. Tulsa can have one by pro-
per effort now and not lessen her
claim to other town building enter
prises.
"My suggestion is this; that
teachers class or training depart
ment be organized in connection
with and as part of your high
school work. 4 size can be secured
proper moment, and an appropria-
tion asked of the first legislature to
start a building. About 100000
was first put at Alva and the last
legislature appropriated 100000
more, which has just been approved
by congress.
Probably Claremeore, vinita,
Pawhuska, will be candidates for
such school, or Nowata, in the north,
while McAlester, or other points,
will speak in the southeast. 1t will
not surprise me to find that Okla
homa will have six Normal Schools
in less than two years.
"If ou could start the class |
suggest in a small way, outsiders
could be solicited at a fair tuition
and your city could get first in the
field and hold the school"
The World can say in addition that
there are several people in Tulsa
well acquainted with Mr.. Smith and
they all say he is remarkably sue
| oacful in avaryth,nu ba ,ndart alaS

long review Of the testimony taken
by the committee and Its Tccommcaca.
tons and conclusions as to remedial
Legislation. In addition there il a
chapter devoted 10 the State Insurance
Department.
No substantial application Of the
powers OF the department seems nrccs'
sary. according 10 the committee.
which holds that most OF the evils
which have been disclosed wo,ild have
been impossible had there been Wig.
oross performance Of the duties al
ready laid upon the Insurance depart
mcnt.
An amendment TO the penal code Is
recommended to provide that the per
son receiving a rebate shoaid be
equally guilty with the one who gives

In its detailed report Of the invcs,i.
cation the committee says the accounts
Of the Mutual Life Insurance Company
should be thoroughly examined In or
der that the extent TO which moneys
have been misappiicd and the rcspon'
sibiiity for any misspriieation which
may be shown may be determined.
Concerning the New York Life com
pany. the committee found that Its
transactions with Andrew Hamilton
showed extraordinary abuses. and that
the statement sen, from Paris by Ham
ilton was without suitable specihcas
tions.
In taking up the Equitable Life As.
surance Society. the committee tells
Of the tissensions last February which
