Defines School Law.

In an opinion submitted to State
Superintendent Fassett a. Cotton
and the State Board of Education,
growing out of the division among
the members of the board as 10 a
proper construction of the law pass
cd bv the last Legislature classifying
and regulating minimum wages OF
school teachers, Attorney General
James Bingham holds that the wage
paid TO teachers depends upon their
general average received at the time
OF their examination and contract
for license The attorney general
holds. also that the Department OF
Education has not the power to flx
the general average OF graduates OF
the State Normal School for the pur-
pose of arriving at basis for the
payment of wages The opinion was
written by f. NJ White, deputy at
torney general.
Graduates of this institution"
says the opinion, referring to the
State Normal School, who have
taught three years would necessarily
belong to Class c under the law and
are entitled to daily wages of 3 1-2
cents multiplied by the general aver
age grade upon final test before grad
uation."
Ii is held further that holders OF
state license who have taught for
three years belong to Glass c also.
1T is plain" says the opinion,
that teacher OF successful expert
ence need not have attended either
a highschool or training school IN
order to be placed in. either of the
classes. but a teacher of no expert
ence is alone required TO b gradu-
ate of high school or its equivalent
and must have at least twelv. weeks
training in a school maintaining a
course for the training of teachers.
"A teachers license necessarily is
effective in the future and hence IL
cense should not be issued TO teach
er who will teach his first school af-
ter Aug. 1, 1908, unless he possesses
the qualifications named in the sec
ond section of the act of 1907"
The opinion says that the law re-
quires all beginning teachers. wheth-
er they are to teach in the common
schools or manual training or high
schools TO have the qualifications
prescribed in Section 2 College grad
uates. according TO the opinion, are
generally considered exempt from
being graduates of high schools, as
their college training may be con-
strued as fits equivalent" The State
Board of Education will meet Jan. II
to consider the opinion.

Deep in the heart of most people, if
not all of them, is a love for the
beautiful True, ideas differ as to
what is beautiful. What is beautiful
to one person may appear common
place bo another Education and op-
portunity make for what the world
calls culture But even without this
there are thousands who can see
beauty in many things that are count
ed common There are thousands of
beautiful things in nature that all
may admire. The true artistic soul
may see beauty in the coloring of
newly turned soil Another gazes

with beauty to the mind attuned TO
the ideas of symmetry and a cor
rect blending of color effects.
1t is the innate love of the beau
tiful that makes man the higher ami
NAL, not counting his, what one
might call higher intellectual attain

to do with the correct development
of the love of the beautiful. But
beauty is not all in sky and earth
and the manifold bearties that be-
deck the earth or the tints that makes
a sunset thing that enraptures the
soul There is beauty in song and
poetry and in the lofty thoughts of
prose

Uncle Ioe's Standpat Hand

Speaker Cannon says: IF he had
called me liar | would have swat

Wllliams-De Almond fight in the
House. This can not be unparlia-
mentary, for the reason that it is
true, unless it be possible for a thing
to be both true and unparlamentary,
or unparliamentary because true 1t
grieves us that the speaker felt called
to prove it true by the introduction
OF irrelevant and incompetent testi-
mony. Uncle Joe," writes our own
correspondent at Washington, drew
up his right forearm and invited his
listener to feel the remarkably hard
muscular formation under the coat

he lifted his leg, holding it out at
right angles, and pirouetted around
in a circle on the other leg, just as
Seabrooke used to do in The Isle of
Champagne

den OF proof against suspicion that
he is a mollycoddle might do such
things as these, and, very likely, do
them all in vain. But why should

Armed Mob Drives Blacks from
Town.

There is a spirit of unrest at Hen
ryetta, Ok, among the white as well
as the negro population, becaus- of
the lynching OF James Garden, ne
gro Tuesday afternoon. The body
of Garden was cut down Wednesday
and turned over to friends.
A negro known as "One-eyed Bill'
Smith, who is held in connection
with the murder of Albert Bates, a
liveryman, on Tuesday with Will
liam johnson, another negro, by the
county authorities when the shadows
OF darkness came, to prevent a sec
ond lynching. On a promise by Sher-
iff Roberts of Okmulgee that the
two prisoners would be taken out of
the mining town, the second lynching
was averted.
Hundreds of persons, from the rud-
dy miner to the most prominent peo-
pie in the town. followed the Bates
funeral cortege to the cemetery. An
eyewitness to the l.nching said:
so quick was the work of the
lynchers that they neglected to tie
Gardens hands behind him, and
when the mob of 300 pulled on the
rope to string him UP to the tele-
graph pole Garden climbed the rope.
Fearing that he would escape, nearly
every member of the mob drew a
gun, and Garden was riddled with
bullets befove he was 100 feet in the
Notices have been posted warning
the negroes 10 leave Henryetta by

ever, stated that negroes who have
heretofore proven to be desirable cit
izens would not be molested.
At sunset Tuesday night there
were several shots fired and it is un-
derstood number of negro families
were run out of town.
Reports have been received at
Henryetta of armed blacks who are
organizing at Wildcat and other ne
gro settlements and are preparing TO
march on the town.

Fewer in Poor Asylums.

The annual report of the board OF
state charities for the fiscal year 1907,
will show that there has been for
several years steady slight decrease
in the population of poor asylums in
the state, despite the increase in the
states inhabitants. The reason for
this are the greater difficulty of get
ting outdoor relief, which causes the
former benehcious to hustle" hard
er for a living, rather than 60 to the
poor asylum. and the work required
of the abiehodied who do 60 there.

zer for acid or sour soils, and salt
was often beneficial to certain soils,
but dried blood contains more of the
essentials necessary to restore soils
deficient in nitrogen and potash than
anything else.
A score of the farmers present
seemed to be posted on this subject
and there was lively discussion, at
ter which the institute adjourned for
dinner
The discussion in the afternoon of
the Mixed Farmers and Specialists
seemed to resolve itself into the fact
that both are necessary, but mixed
farming is best for many farms and
for majority of farmers.
The specialist, to be a success,
must be an enthusiast in his line,
must thoroughly understand what he
is producing, and in this way he helps
the mixed farmer, makes money for
himself and helps the community in
which he lives and the entire coun

Mrs. John Ritchey, Mrs. Shakes of

it interesting.

a general discussion and there were
variety of opinions. but it was evil

In the afternoon the room was
crowded and after the subject of the
influence of home surroundings had
been ably presented, Mrs. Weeks dis
cussed it with great ability. She
showed that cross, illnatured hus-
