Want DESCRIPTIONS.

The board of qusdrennial assessors

the city to send them descriptions of
their property from which the ap-
praisement will be made. The board
lacks such data as the dimensions of
the lot and the description. The lat,

ers to help was the most practicable
suggested. Letters addressed to the
board at the city hall will reach

With regard to Spltzbergen, the own
ership of the archipelago already formed
the subject of a fierce debate in the reign
Of King James of Great Britain, when
England pat forth claims thereto, on
the pretext that the islands had been
first discovered by Sir Hugh Willoughby.
This contention cannot be maintained,
for we know to-day that the islands dis
covered by Sir Hugh were not Spitzber-
gen, but formed part OF what is now
known as Nova Zembla-
The first discovery of spitzbergen was

OF the explorer Barentz, in May. 1896.

Kind Nan from the Countrr.

oFrom the Philadelphia Times
An amusing incident occurred in a ho-
tel a few nights ago. It appears that a
farmer from South Jersey. who was IN
usually ignorant Of city ways, went to
the hotel with his son. The farmer re-
tired early, but the son went out TO ''see
the town"
At 1890 o'clock the farmer went down
stairs and inquired Of the night clerk il
the boy had returned yet. He was told
that he had not. The father went back
to his room. An hour later he again ap-
peared before the clerk and said:
'IIein't Jack in yet?"
Again he was informed that the lad
was out. The old man made several sub
sequent trips, and stin his boy was
among the missing. Finally at $50
o'clock, the farmer trudged YEARLY down
the stairs and asked again If his boy had
returned.
No. he's not in yet" replied the night
clerk

A year ago the post-office London d.

among the list Of trades "aeroplane

number than might have been expected,
considering the progress of aviation on
this side OF the channel. Subsidiary trades
are springing up. Two firms announce
themselves as aeroplane engine manufac-
turers. two as aeroplane fabric makers

URGES STUDENTS TO

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Febru-
AIRY 5.-Because of the fact that sew
eral student organizations have set
Sunday morning as date upon which
to have pictures taken for the Quad
the year book that Is published by the
Junior class of the university, storm
of protest has been raised by various
members of the faculty. Rev. d. c.
Gardner. chaplain Of the college, in a
communication TO the university daily,
attributes the existing small number
of churchgoers IN the student body
to the spirit Of materlalism that eX-
lists among the students.
Rev. Gardner deplores the fact that
Sunday is not observed to a greater
extent by students. In his protest Dr.,
Gardner expresses himself in part as
follows: 81 plead with Stanford men

OKLAHOMA'S SCHOOLS and

First-class public schools Is the

This spirit is shown in the report
made on the schools of Oklahoma at
a meeting of the state Teachers AS

ance to Hawaii in suggesting to us
the increased confidence that is felt
in any section OF our common coun-
try which looks after its public
schools and places them ,hrst on the
list OF Institutions for which liberal
provision must be made.
Oklahoma has built between $500
and 1900 schoolhouses since gaining
Statehood, many OF them among the
most costly rural schoolhouses in the
United States. This is in a common
wealth which at the time OF Its es-
tablishment as such had Al counties

President L. ID. Cameron of the State
Teachers Association recently, ad-
dressing nearly 1000 members OF
that body convened in Oklahoma.
The constitutional convention"
he said, divided Oklahoma Terri
tory into "a counties, and the In
dian Territory into al counties. The
Al new counties not only had no
public schools, but they had never
had any and were in primitive con
dition.
There was not at that time an
incorporated town where free pub
lie school had been organized for
more than nine years, and a vast
majority of them had only been or
ganized from two to FIVE years. There
were some Indian schools and few
of these schools were run for whites.
I'VE have laid all these counties
into districts-large districts, so
that in most of them we will not
have to consolidate, but can run a
full high school course In one dis
trict.
There are now $500 school dis
tricts In the Al counties and the
county superintendent reports
show that We have built more than
$500 schoolhouses since Statehood,
the most convenient and costly rural
schoolhouses in the United States.
1--WE have built also in the old
counties of the State about 400
schoolhouses since Statehood. This
makes between $500 and 1900 coun-
ty schoolhouses since Statehood,
costing from $500 to $4,000 each,
and numerous high school and other
buildings have been built in the best
cities and towns of the State.
Many of these are the most mod
ern and up-to-date buildings In, the
United States. There Is now
schoolhouse in reach of every child
of every color in the state.
I'VE have scholastic population
of little more than 500, 900 and
we have enrolled in our schools more
than 100000 boys and girls. There
