many schools we're created by the
members OF the legislature to boost
towns in many instances and In 9th
ers to return favors to members for
especial work they had done. The In.
stitutlons are too great drain upos
the school money Of the state. There
are six district agricultural schools
when there should be none, there ara
several preparatory schools when such
an institution should be a portion
of the State University. According
10 Mr. Sciva!ly, Oklahoma has the
oportunity OF building q great uni
vergity II its energies are centered
upon that institution, and there Is
chance and necessity for great
school In the middle west. West Of
the Mississippi there is but one In
stitution that has made history and
that Is the University OF California.
Oklahoma should take advantage OF
its opportunities.
In speaking further Of the matter
Mr.. Scivally said the best method OF
educating the children was to take
the schools 10 them. The children
OF the rich can 20 anywhere but
the children OF the poor and OF the
man in moderate circumstances can
not go away from home to school and
the money that Is being appropriated
TO maintain dozen institutions
should be given to district schools
throughout the counties Of the state.
Boys and girls could then attend these
district schools at their own towns
and prepare for University training
or TT themselves for all practical
uses OF life. The district schools
could be maintained nine months in
the year.
