NORMAL WORK
OVER AT DURANT
SOUTHEASTERN NOW IN PERFEC
RUNNING ORDER-SEVEN HUN
DRED TEACHERS THERE.

Durant. Okla, June 4.-The South
eastern Normal is now running Ill
perfect order and harmony and from
the beginning thorough organization
was established. The president of this
body is Prof NJ. Il. Moore, so well and
so favorably known to a very large
per centage of the readers of The Ard
moreite as one of the best educators
in the state. The faculty consists or
p members, including some OF the
very best talent in Oklahoma, who
carefully look after the interest OF
the six or seven hundred students in
attendance.
The faculty are nearly all specialists
in some particular. For instance, we
can mention Profs. Ryle, Canterberry
in mathematics, Miss Baker in prim'
airy work, Prof. Laid in physics, Miss
Calvin in drawing, and Miss Banlett III
music. Miss Halle Mckinney in do
nestle science. To enumerate the as
signments of each member OF the fac
ulty would be long task, but it can
be said the faculty have been chosen
for their ability to do the work as
signed them.
The faculty of the Southeastern Nor
ma are all engaged in this summer
session, assisted by instructors chosen
by the county superintendent of sew
en- counties in the southeastern por-
tion of the state.
Carer county has three members in
the faculty, Messrs. Hodges, Under
wood and Michael, your county is well
represented in students, there being
some sixty present. The teachers
present and taking instruction ARE
ealnest and energetic.
Durant is doing everything possible
to make the stay of these teachers
pleasant and agreeable, and the facul-
ty of the Southeastern, headed by
Prof. Moore, are contributing their ut
most for the uplift of all who have
come here to receive instructions.
Durant should certainly be proud o.
the two great college buildings that
are now being erected here, the South
estern Normal and the Presbyterian
college. The latter building will be
completed and ready for occupancy
by the first of September. This col
lege will be devoted to the education
of young ladies only, while the South
eastern will receive both boys and
girls. The Southeastern will be ready
for occupancy about the first of No
vember. These buildings have cost
something like a quarter million dol
lars.
This city is on building boom,
and can be called the laborers para
disc from the amount OF work going
on.
Your correspondent thinks Dursnt
splendid town, and I admires the
beauty OF its elegant homes, and the
air OF comfort and refinement to be
seen on every side. 1t is not TOO
much to call this little city the Athens
of southeast Oklahoma.

be under the control OF a board of
seven members, who will be appoint
ed by the governor.
Much is to be credited to w. +. Gil
mer, the legislative representative from
this district, who fathered the bill
providing for the maintenance fund
Much is to credited to Judge Gait
who has worked persistently for the
raising of the fund. Much is to be
credited to the building committee
who has devoted thought and time
and attention to the matter and much
is to be credited to the generous and
liberal instincts OF the people of Okla
homa who have not only so generously
contributed to its accomplishment, but
have so harmoniously furthered every
effort made in its behalf
1t is a work of love, a work of be
nevolence, work Of justice and Ok
lahoma is to be congratulated on its
establishment and Ardmore should be
most pleased on its selection as the
site.
