other studies, helps to develop the per-
ccptiYe qualities Of the child-as to
form, size, weight, color, observation
and the creative faculties, as original

last but not least, the highest of all
the 1sthetic-or love of the beautiful

one into closer touch with Him who
made all things for our pleasure and
happiness.
Let US consider some of the uses of
drawing in our everyday life outside of
the school room. Suppose we discard
drawing from the United States. Do
you realize that all manufacturing
would cease, also all building, from our
great railroads to the common little
cabin? For every manufactured arti-
Gle, and even the machinery on which
they are made, must be planned and
drawn ere It's manufactured, and the
same is true Of railroads and houses be-
fore they are built. The inventor al
ways expresses the ideas of his inven-
tlon in drawing ere he has it patented.
Dentists have often said how drawing
helps them in the making of the plan
of teeth for their patients. 1t is a great

the construction of the body and also
in making sketches of the fractured

way which would otherwise be denied

CHARGE TO JURY
BY NOTED JUDGE
Emmnent Representative of Judiciary
Assigns Whisky as Cause OF Crime.

Tulsa, |. t., Dec. IL. Judge Louis
Sulzbacher, presiding in the Western
district of the United States court for
Indian Territory, held court last week
at Sapulpa for the first time since his
appointment. His charge to the grand
jury is considered as one of the most
remarkable documents ever issued from
the bench of the territory. The charge
is extraordinary because of his striking
dramatic manner in which it was deliv-
cred and the great scope of crimes
specified in it's text.
The court called especial attention to
the increase in crime. and especially
did he show the terrors done while per-
sons were under the influence Of liquor
The following is the temperance lecture
delivered in the charge:
"Intemperance is one of the most de-
testable vices cast upon the human
family, and any law prohibiting the use
of intoXicants should be welcomed and
supported in community of peaceful
citizens to their utmost. Crimes have
BEEN committed by these excesses, and
the annals of statistics establish the la
mentable certainty that. the origin of
crime in most cases was caused by the
turbulence of inebration.
"HOmes were made destitute; life
became unbcarabe to the faithful wife
and to the devoted mother, and children
were given horrid example. Prison
cells were filled and the gallows exhib-
tied its most terrific spectacle. Carry
out and apply this law to its farthest
and you will be considered as benefac-
tors of this commonwealth.
"At the recent term of court at Mus
kogce | was present at murder trial
which exhibited crime of which hu-
manity at this age should be spared.
The times of torture or torment, to
which we, at the present stage of civil
ization and enlightenment look back
with horror and CONSERVATION were re-
produced.
"A mana human being returned
to his home, to his freside, at late
hour; to the place where love and kind
ness and affection should dwell He
beat his defcnseless wife and struck his
harmless children. Their screams, their
tears, their cntreaties but increased his
anger.
"Ele seized a can filed with coal oil,
saturated the clothes and the person of
the companion of his life with that
combustible substance, the body of the
person to whom he swore before the
altar Of his God to love and to defend

Importance of Teaching Drawing in Oar
Schools.

Miss Bessie Mosclcy, who taught
drawing in the Summer school here,
has prepared an interesting article for
The Advertiser on the Importance of
teaching drawing in our schools. She
says:
SO many people have The wrong i'm
preston of the uses of drawing in our
public schools. They seems to think
that its only aim is to make a pretty
drawing or picture and its educational
value ends there. How little do thcy
realize that it is one of the fundamon-
tai studies, and it is just as important
in the development of childs life and
mind in fields of usefulness as number
and language work.
Drawing is one or the Oldest and sim
plest ways of expressing thought 1t
is language that is common to all ma
tion8 and has been from time immemo-
rial. 1t was the principal medium used
by the ancient Egyptians in handing
down to the present generation their
ideas and customs. One Of its chief
aims in public school work is to help
the child gain and express ideas and
thoughts through drawing as well as by
language.
1t is much easier for child to got
knowledge by seeing from than by hear
ing about it. If teacher has a good
knowledge of drawing and can make a
picture Of what he or she wishes to
teach or represent, the child can grasp
it much more readily than by telling
him of the same in words.
'Tis sad but true that there is Voc
full lack Of skill on the side Of the above
average teacher of today in the use Of
drawing The writer has talked with
teachers throughout this fair Southland
and the complaint comes from all that
they cannot draw, but feel the need of
same so badly in every line of their
school work; all say it would be so
much easier for them to teach if they
could only draw,
What is the cause and how can this
deficiency in our education be overcome?
The principal reason is that teachers
have not been trained to draw as they
have been trained to read and write.
If the same attention had been given
to their drawing as to other studies
they would be just as skillful in the one
as the other, for drawing is the natural
medium through which child cx-
presses his ideas. The picture of the
idea appeals to all children. The rem
edy: Let us see TO it that the rising
generation of today does not miss nor
neglect this all-important step in their
education, for the children of today
will be our men and women of tomor-
row.
Aside from the skill the child gains in
the use of his hands and mind to work

CAPT. ROCKAFELLOW GIVES
OPINION ON WATER QUESTION

Under the caption Of "A Water Ex-
pert's Opinion of the Arkansas River
Fluid" the Pueblo StarJournal of
Sunday says:
"Plans for joint work by the resi-
dents Of Pueblo, Canon City and Sa-
Ida, in the matter Of the publication
of the water of the Arkansas river,
are rapidly taking definite shape and
1t Ia expected that within the coming
week a we'll defined campaign Of oper-
atoms will be decided upon by the
workers In this and the neighboring
cities.
One OF the valuable members Of the
Joint committee In the three cities who
is expected to give able assistance to
Chairman W. A. Middlekamp of this
city and his associates is Captain B.
r. Rockafellow OF Canon City. who
has made a study of the water supply
and conditions governing it for sew
eral years past and who has furnished
q number of interesting articles on the
subject. In one OF these, published in
June, 1906, before the present agita-
ton was actively begun, Captain Rock
afellow takes up the water question
at length, detailing the various steps
which had been taken to secure a good
supply for domestic use. Among
these were tests made in the Grand
Canon, the installation of a test set
Ting basin and the artesian project,
each of which was tried in turn. In
q communication on the subject Cap
tain Rockafellow says:
ut is contended by many that the
water Of the Arkansas river, coming
In such volume from the snowbanks
and springs OF the continental divide,
rushing down 5000 to 5000 feet to us,
10 miles OF which is along the main
range and 60 miles from Salida to
Canon City through a canon, is bet
tor entitled the name Of mountain
water and less likely to be contami-
1Ated than that from any small
stream. For the river water Is nl-
tered with mighty force through the
gravel and sands and turned and tum-
bled up to the sunlight and air thou
sands of times every mile Of the so to
rs miles Of distance to its head.
"Take . trip down to old Mexico and
zee the expense gone to and small
quantity Of water possessed BY towns
Of $4,000 to 10000 Inhabitants. and
you will better appreciate our abund-
ant supply for everybody. This water
having been my principal drink for
a. years., I am glad to give testimony
o. TO its healthfulness and superior
fly over the average drink supplied to
man."
