mans past What is Mr.. Wilson
thinking now? What is he going to
do with all this power? He sends out
this declaration to the people:
THE schools of Oklahoma must be
free from politics.
THE country child must have Iust
as far as possible the same chance
in life as the city child.
Consolidation of small and pauper
districts must go on until every coun-
try child will have equipment and
teachers as good as the best.
THE teachers and teaching in
this state must be sifted and win.
moved until the best only remain.
Absolute devotion to school in.
terests first must come from every
school room and office connected
with popular education in Oklahoma
The other members of the board
are strong and capable men. Profes-
sional in teaching seems TO predomi-
nate. Superintendent Scott Glen of
the Shawnee city schools has been
power in shaping and moulding pub
lie scrool policies in territorial as well
as statehood days. Mr.. o. Frank Hays
Chandler, was for eight years super
intendent of the largest system of
county schools in the state. Super
intendent w. A. Brandenberg is at
the head of the largest single system
of schools in Oklahoma-that of Okla
homa City, while Prof A. C. Scott of
Epworth, is an educator of national
repute. Mr.. W. f.. Rowsey of Musko
gee. represents the scholarly, prac-
tical and aggressive business man. He
was a trusted co-worker with Mr.
Cruce when the latter was acting as
president of the university board or
Mr.. Robert Dunlop is known
Oklahoma. His rugged
honesty and combative attitude to-
ward wrong have made him known
from Craig to Tillman and from Cim
maron to McCurtain. So, the whole
membership contains the essential
elements of business, leadership and
professionalism so necessary to a
great administrative and executive
council.-Oklahoma

DROPS DEAD ON
BATHROOM FLOOR
SISTER OF MRS. FRANK GATES
OF THIS CITY is VICTIM OF
HEART FAILURE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 19.-

Ninth street, was stricken from heart
disease Wednesday morning while
preparing for bath. The body was
found two hours later, when access
was gained to the bathroom by an
outside window.
An attempt was made to enter
the room by the door. 1t was Sc

The body of Mrs. Kone was found
against the tub. In her fall she had
struck a piece of metal work. Her
head was cut open. DIR. w. J. Jolly

neer Burke. Short funeral services

SCHOOL BOARD TO
Do GREAT THINGS
CHARLES EVANS, ARDMORE SU.
PERINTENDENT HAS GREAT
FAITH IN CRUCE APPolNTEES.

Charles Evans, superintendent of
the city schools at Ardmore, has great
faith in the members of the new state
board of education, and expects the
schools throughout Oklahoma 10
flourish under the boards directions
as they never flourished before.
Relative to the personnel of the
board, what each member stands for,
and what may be expected, Mr.. Evans
said in an interview Sunday after
noon:
This week there is meeting at
the capital of the state board of ed
ucation. 1t is not the old board com
posed of the governor, the attorney
general, secretary of state and the
superintendent of public instruction.
That has passed into the limbo of
things that were, the politicians
dream, the story of another day. 1t
ia the new board of education, with
new powers, new duties and new op-
portunities; a board which has its
origin in the brain of the chief eX
ecutive of Oklahoma and placed on
the statute books by the last legis-
lature.
Its powers have been heralded
abroad. They are the most remark
able given to any body of school men
in the states of America The pro
gressive and remedial school legsla-
ton has been moving toward cen
tralization, unification and interde-
pedence. But Oklahoma, true to her
progressiveness, has taken the lead
in this as she has in many other
things.
1T is needless to discuss the oppor.
tunities offered this board to serve
the state. In truth, We come to point
to one thing more potent than power
and opportunities and that is the per
sorlnel of its membership.
AT the heac OF the table sits the
superintendent of public instruction,
R. II. Wilson. He must needs play
central figure in Oklahoma's school
affairs for the next few years and |
he deserves more than ordinary in
spection. Who is he and in what
direction do the index fingers of his
deeds and views point? There is no
way of judging the future but by the
past, said Patrick Henry to the de-
light of the Virginia convention and
the dismay of the declaiming school
boy. What has been Mr.. Wilson's
past? He has sprung from Gods
elect, the common people. He has
passed through every stage of coun-
try boy life, in church, in home and
school. He has felt the hard hand
of need and can sympathize with the
child that is crying today throughout
this great state for a better chance.
This is a splendid asset to any man
on the board that deals with the in
terests of children. He has been
farmer by necessity; a college man
by aspiration. and a school teacher
by choice. He has served as chore
boy, pupil, teacher, county superin
tendent, chairman of the board of
education of city schools, president
OF school officers association, chair
man of the executive committee OF
the state teachers association, and
for some months now as state super
intendent

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

A draft horse is always in demand.
Feed all animals balanced ration.
A good brood SOW should be well
kept.
Do not feed the horses all the hay
they will eat.
Ample feed should be always kept
before the sheep.
Turnips, carrots and sugar beets
make fine feed for sheep.
See that the live stock have careful
attention and plenty of feed.
Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt
and foul doors affect sheep quickly.
Do not allow the brood mare to
stand in the barn without any exer-
else.
Water is cheap. but 1t is a neces-
sity for sustaining the life of the
stock
While the work horses are not do
ing heavy work, their feed should not
be very heavy.
Do not neglect to give the sows a
chance to eat some clover hay or corn
stalks each day.
Feed that will keep the bowels open
is the best for this time Of the year.
Wheat bran helps to do 1t.
Pure bred colts will sell for more
at one OF two years of age than will
grade horses when fully mature.
Keeping animals on the farm
that do not pay profits Is a poor way
to succeed in accommodating prop
erty.
Perhaps no other kind OF animals
on the farm are so likely to be neglect
ed in regard to exercise as broot
sows.
Oats are considered by many horse
men TO be most valuable. They are
, however, very expensive, and man
other feeds have taken their. place.
t Be sure that the pigs are not lous,
