continue to strive and gain a higher
education. "You use the toDo6san
method too much In education" said
Fess. The hurtfulness IN II Is your
stopping. Keep on, your possibil-
tiles are unlimited. am not say
ing that you will be George WASH
ingtons, but you VIII be great from
the standpoint OF service to the world.
At this point Mr.. Fess saw his
old friend Ralph Parlette, the noted
humorist In the audience, and a
smile broad and hearty spread over
his countenance.
you young people" Professor
Fess said to the graduates, have
place to fill In the world and you
will either fiji It or you won't" He
stated that many people have the
vain idea that education Is a beneft
In making a living. That Is only a
small part of Il. II is a benefit In
making life worth living. II matters
not what one may be engaged in.
Amy man can make living just as
honorably with the sweat OF his
brow as with the sweat OF his jaw"
remarked the speaker amid ap-
plause. We do not heed educated
farmers, but educated men on the
farm, instead OF educated lawyers we
want educated men in the law, and
so in the various professions OF life.
In bringing his remarks toward
conclusion, the professor spoke
word against the knocker. IF you
can't boost, don't knock" he said.
"Htt the evil, that's all right. Hit
liz every time 1t comes up and hit
1t hard. but don't knock" The
professor realized hts experience with
Ia pessimist who was ever knocking.
Everything went wrong. He saw on
ly the defects Of the best. "He was
born In the objective case" said Mr..
Tess wittily "It doesn't take any
brains to kick. A mule can do that
and do 1t effectively. ask the
members OF this class to build up In
stead of tearing down"
AS final word OF advice the
speaker of the occasion asked the
members to do team work. We must
habor with others II we would
gain success. We must live in COM
mon with others for we need them
and they need us.
"On the campus OF Antioch coy
lege" said Mr. Fess, in conclusion,
there stands statue OF Horace
Mann. Upon II are the words
which he gave TO the children whom
he loved and for whom he labored.
Treasure up In your hearts these
words, Be ashamed to die until you
have won some victory for human
ity. Giving as the key note OF
hltribsm thsse words Mr.. Fess
closed his remarks amid loud and
prolonged applause. His address was
highly pleasing to the large audience
and the members Of the board OF
education were pleased that they
had secured speaker who came
up to the standards Of the occasion.

WIN. MACAULEY
PLEASED AUDIENCE

William Macauley, as Edward Des-
mond, the handsome hero in Patton's
play, When We Were Friends played
to an enthusiastic audience at the
Wagner Opera oouse last night. Mr..
Macauley carried the leading part in
one of the best dramas now on the
stage, exceedingly well, and was well
supported by the other members Of
the company. The story is a tale Of
the true friendship of two young men,
whose love for each other was brought
to a test, and the emotional parts Of
the play demanded some clever acting
which was not unappreciated by the
audience. The costuming was the
prettiest seen in chickasha this season
and added to the beautiful scenic ef-
fects, assisted in making the produc-
tlon a success.

MUST TATTEND
DURINC2ND
TERM
Pupils out Of School Must
Attend Three Months
During Year

1t is the intention of the school
board to establish the compulsory at
tendance law at the beginning of the
second half Of the school term. BY that
time many viii have attended the re-
quired three months and the law would
not apply to them if their parents
chose to allow them to miss the rest Of
the school.
1t is thought that at least two hun
dred children are out Of school at pres
elt, and to establish the rule now
would seriously hinder the excellent
school work now being done. All the
buildings are crowded to the limit
The school board would not relish the
idea Of saying that Johnny must 60 to
school and then not be able to provide
comfortable quarters for Johnny when
be reached the school room.
Cities that have begun the operation
OF the compulsory law having Sc
rious trouble in having the law en-.
forced. Either there is no room in
the school buildings for the increased
attendance or else the truant Inclined
persist in eyading the seat of learn
ing. The board hopes that b.1 the
time the order is given for all who
have not attended three months the
present year must do 50, that ar
rangement will be made to properly
take care Of the pupils Unless the
city's population should increase be-
yond the expectations of the optimis-
tic, another year will find ample school
accommodations for all.

He FAVORS
UNION DEPOTS
Commissioner Watson o..
posed to Many Rail-
road DepOtS

Guthrie. okla, Nov. 2O.-The first
dissenting vote in the action Of the
corporation commission on an order
was recorded yesterday when Chair
man Jack Love and Colonel J. J. Nc
Alester voted for separate depot facili-
ties for the five railroads at Tulsa.
while Commissioner Watson voted for
union station and refused to yield
to the other two commissioners. He
explains that he is for a union depot
in every town II the state where II
Is practicable.
The Katy depot at Tulsa was de-
stroyed by fire several months ago and
the people Of that place are divided
whether a union station would be bet
ter or separate depots. Petitions were
filed with the commission by the diff
ferent factions one asking for union
station and the other for separate de-
pot.
The Santa Fe and Midland Valley
use the same station the Frisco has
separate depot and the Bartlesvillo
branch Of the Santa Fe also has a
separate depot
Commissioner Watson claims that
tie travelling public and the major
lily OF the citizens Of Tulsa are in
favor of union station.

EXPECT DELAY
WITH FIRE ESCAPES

Guthrie. Okla, Nov, 2O--Some vex-
ing problems confronting the arthorI-
ties in whose scope falls the duty Of
enforcing the fire escape law are made
plain by Attorney General West in
letter to Dr. J. c. Mahr, state health
commissioner.
Mr.. Mahr was puzzled over the
meaning of the word proprietor"
whether the lessee or the actual own
er Of the hotel property should be re-
quIred to install the fire escapes and
fire extinguishers, proviced by what is
known as house bill 29l The attorney
general suggests that this question be
settled between the owner and the
lessee, that either is amenable to the
penalties of the law.
lae statute interprets the word pro
prietor' to mean owner, lessee. man
ager, agent or any person in charge of
the hotel
Taking up another phase Mr. West
rules that the health commissioner has
the right to allow a reasonable leagth
of time in which alterations may be
made in compliance with the new law;
that he also has the authority to re.
quire reports from hotel inspectors at
times he deems advisable.
Penalties, he holds. should not at.
tach until the proprietor has been fur
nished an opportunity to comply with
the law.
