III the foundations be destroyed,
What can the righteous do?"
Thousands of Christian people to-
day, almost in panic at the assaults
Of Professor and ex-President Eliot on
reversed beliefs, are ready to echo this
frightened cry from the Psalms.
But they should steady themselves
with the reminder that this cry is mot
of faith" 1t is itself skepticism.
Faith that has thrown itself wholly
on God can watch, If need be, all visi-
BILE foundations disappear without
dread, knowing that God abides.
So when men proud in intellect and
cunning in speech begin to make at
tack on conceptions of truth long held
sacred in the church, the answer wor.
thy Of faith is not an outcry Of alarm
but arther sthatSgreat shout of conf
dence also heard in the Psalms;
Therefore will we not fear though
the earth do change,
And though the mountains be shak-
en- into the heart of the seas.
If the church had no resources OF
confidence in which to stand firm be-
fore teachings such as Dr. Eliot and
DR.. Foster have been setting forth, it
would long since have been driven of
the field in rout. To speak as if the
church were today encountering perils
more threatening than it has ever met
before, is simply to avow one ignor-
ance of the lEard.beset path by which
the church has marched on through
the centuries--Chicago Interior.

Football Seasons Approach
Heralded by New Guide

The "rah-rah" season is at hand

rior.
The first evidence Of the approach
OF this august parsonage is here with
the issuance Of the football guide. 1t
shows few changes in the rules that
governed the game last season. Those
who control the destines of the game
have been content to clarity the exist
ing rules and have made few actual
changes The phraseology has been
altered in many places where last
years rules were ambiguous.
The field goal hereafter will count
only three points instead of four. This
change will meet the approval Of all
professional coaches except those who
depend upon one man with highly
educated toe for team strength. 1t is
to protect the weak teams with the
strong kickers.
It is expected that this change will
make the field goal play less popu-
lar. Hereafter two goals from field
will not be superior to a hard-earned
touchdown and goal from touch
down. The board, when it made this
rule, had no intention of encouraging
the old concentration Of attack. how

Notice to Public School Pupils And
Patrons.

All pupils who have lately moved
into our city and do not know in what
grade they belong will meet the SUI
perintendent at his Office in the high
school building on the 9th or 7th OF
September as the Office will be open
those days for that purpose. Also il
there are any pupils of our schools
who have failed in any subject or sub
jects and would like to take the ex
animation will be given a chance al
the above dates. Please give this your
attention as there will be no examina
tions given at the opening of school
also pupils who are not classified and
wait until school opens will loose one
or two days.
The course of study as adopted by
the board of education for the Vinita
high school is second to none in the
state. It is just as suggested by our
university, and as a result pupils Of
Vinita will get the benefit of an ap-
proved course We are offering the
pupil from two to four electives in
each years work there by not forcing
the pupil to take something for sew
eraI years that he does not like and
will not use. The lack of room is all
that will keep our schools from being
the best in the state now, so when
the new building is completed and two
more teachers are added to the high
school faculty our high school course
will be complete and pupil on finish
ing this course win be prepared TO
enter any course that he may desire in
our state university or the Missouri
university. Come let us all pull to-
gether and make Vinita the best school
town in the state, which is being done
very rapidly.

teams win simply on their merits.
Last fall it was mandatory for the
defending side after touchdown 70
punt out from inside the twenty-five
yard line. In the future it will be op-
tional with the ball defending side to
punt out Or put the ball in play by a
scrimmage. This rule is intended to
discourage the practice of kicking the
ball across the line on windy day,
thus forcing the defenders to punt out
in the face Of stiff breeze, making
it possible to take fair catch and
free chance at a goal.
The forward pass has not been tam
pered with materially, the principal
change being in the way Of designating
the players who may receive the ball.
This season man must be clearly one
yard back of the neutral zone or at the
end of the scrimmage line before he
can take part in the play.
Also the rule regarding an effort TO
put the defense off side by false mo-
tions has been amended to include
tthe center himself. The center has Of
ten been used to coax fiye-yard pen
atty out OF the officials by coaching
himself to make some move with his
arms which would bring the oppon-
ents across the scrimmage line before
the ball was passed. This will be
forestalled by the new rule.

All modern, up-to-date school build
ings are being built Of reinforced con
crete on the same general plan as the
ones now under construction in Tulsa.
Amy criticism of this class of buildings
as a whole comes from back numbers.
The Tulsa school board did the prop
er thing in making contract for this
kind of buildings. The school board
is made up Of careful, well informed
business men. Everything they have
done as board so far leads to the
belief that when the buildings now un-
der construction are accepted they will
be up to the standard 1t is unfortun-

ouTRAcINc A COMMUNITY.


The reports coming out Of Sapulpa
are grave. It would appear that the
lawless element was in the majority,
but it is entirely likely that this color
is caused only by official laxity. The

that community. The situation be-
comes doubly grave when, as is
charged in the case Of SapulDa, the
commercial interests join with the
law-defers.
The most disheartenlng report yet
to reach us is the charge that the pa
pers OF Sapulpa are being controlled
by the lawless element; that they are
opposed to law enforcement, We do
not know this to be true, but there are
