the last row rising thirty-five feet
from the ground level. The seats do
not run one behind the other, soldier
fashion, but alternate SO that the man
behind looks down on the ring be-
tween the heads of the two directly in
front of him. BY this arrangement
the ring will be flanked by slopinS
wall OF races and staring eyes, circ-
ling the fighters en- all sides to a
height of thirty feet There will be no
spaces and lines between them, Just
a solid wall of faces giaring down Al
the white square.
Between the press seats and the
bleachers there is gentle slope upon
which approximately 5000 chairs are
grouped. Here the aristocrats will sit
at their ease-men to whom a $50
seat for an afternoons sport is little
out of the ordinary. The five thou
sand will be on lower level than the
ring, and will look upward at the
fighters.
Through the bleacher section wiIe
fences have been run, marking off the
zones of financial standing. First be-
hind the chairs come rows of seats
held at 500, $25 and $50 each. Then
come the $15 seats, the $40 rows in
great number, and finally the gallery
gods, perched high above the gr1unu
at S. per perch.
Behind these highest seats a broad
walk surrounds the arena. l, leads
to the exits and these are so placed
that the flow of the crowd will be
we'll distributed. There is no central
point OF egross at which crowding
thousands may aim, enhancing the
danger common to all crowds panic
and stampede.
Beneah h the bleachers are the quar-
teIs of the fighters, the dressing
rooms in which they will don, or
rather expose, their fighting toys. The
two camps are separated by the width
of the arena, and a short aisle, kept
clear Of other traffic, will be reserve d
for each man and his followers when
they make their progress to the battle
ground.
Unusual precautions have been
taken to prevent disorder Of any kind.
There will be several platoons of
guards scattered through the aisles,
and among the audience. Every en-
trance and exit will be supervised 10
prevent crowding and plain clothes
men will be scattered everywhere.

IN THE INTEREST OF
CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOLS
STATE SUPERINTENDENT IN
AUGURETES SUMMER CRU
SADE-WORK APPRECIATED.

In all Oklahoma there is no per.
son more interested. perhaps. in
the consolidation and upbuilding o.
rural schools than State Superin
tendent E. ID. Cameron, who is max
ing this the keynote of all his ed
ucatoinal addresses this summer.
The rural district school is the
foundation of all our educational
work. Thousands of our citizens
never go to any other school ami i
there should not be a district school
within reach of them they may
never 80 to any school at all. Supt
Cameron says, Considering the
fact that only a few of our chill
dren, comparatively speaking, will
ever attend a higher state institu
ton of learning it becomes our plain
/ duty to see that there is a district
school within reach of every child
/ in the state, and that these schools
/ be made as thorough as possible.
The free public school system in
| Oklahoma is the glory of our state.
mad the rural district school is tho
foundation and hope of the entire
system. The farmers sons and
daughters are entitled to the same
educational advantages as are ell.
joyed by children living in towns or
cities. Ii will be only a short time
possibly until the legislature will
make some provision for extending
state ard in order to encourage the
establishment of consolidated graded
schools. 1t is said that our public
school system is the spring from
whence all our liberties flow" and
these rural schools come nearer
constituting the real source and life.
giving powers of the outflowine
stream Of liberty than all of the
other departments of the public
school system put together. The rl.
raj school is the foundation, and
all too often it becomes the fin
| ishing school, the Normal School.
and the University Since this is
, true. it is the duty Of the state to
make these schools so strong that
/ they will at least give a glimpse
of real e-ucation and create a
thirst for learning that will carry
the student on and up through life.
The opportunity for doing this lies
I largely in the formation of consol-
idated school districts having con
soldated graded schools In order
10 stimulate additional interest in
o consolidated schools State Superin-
tendent Cameron is sending out TO
q all district officers Of the state a
pamphlet recently compiled by him
showing the progress made in this
work in Oklahoma and other states
, and also suggesting ways and means
for getting people interested in this
problem. Many letters of apprecia-
; ton concerning this pamphlet are
coming in and all are along the
= same strain as the one herewith

only one consolidated school district
