rumor has been current in Ottawa re-
garding a well known business man in
Ottawa and popular young Ottawa
woman. The rumOr concerns Kan
sas City as site for an adventure
which has caused bitter enmity be-
tween the two and the possibility of Q

the loss of diamonds or being booked
for arrest as scandalous-
The young woman, upon being in
terviewed said that her attorney has
not yet become possessed of all the
evidence that he is after and that al
though she dislikes to become involv-
ed in suit and the attending pubIi-
city, she will defend her reputation if
necessary to go into court to do so.
She asserts that her position is such
that she cannot afford to let the in
situation that she would stoop to
steal jewelry go unchallenged.

ADOPTS NEW RULES
FOR CERTIFICATES
Oklahoma Board Of Education to Make
Awards to Teachers on Merit
Basis Only.

Oklahoma City, July 3.-The state
board of education has just completed
new system of regulating the issu-
ance of state certificates which it is
believed will eliminate loose practices.
Hereafter no person can secure a
teachers certificate in Oklahoma un-
less merited and no certificates will
be issued to non-residents, unless they
have secured a contract to teach in
! Oklahoma
Under the new rules all APPLICANTS
for state certificates, except graduates
of the state university, the normal
schools and the A. and M. collet ,, must
file recommendations showing that
they have had two years successful
experience. The law requires grad
yates of the state university to have
had sixteen months teaching expert
ence. Applicants also must show
proficiency by passing an examination
in the branches prescribed by the
state board of education. All appli-
cants must make an average of 80 per
cent with no grade below 20 per cent.
Certificates will be issued for two
years, but may be extended five years
without examination, provided the
teacher furnishes the board with proof
he has taught continuously unless pre-
vented on account of sickness and
! that his work has been satisfactory.
Four kinds of state certificates are
provided for in the rules, kindergar-
ten, primary, intermediate and gram
mar grade and general high school.
Kindergarten certificates authorize
the holder to act as directress in any
kindergarten in the state. Primary
certificates authorize the holder to
teach the primary branches including
the fourth grade. intermediate certi-
ficates are for teachers from the fifth
to eighth grades inclusive and gen.
eral high school certificates authorize
the teacher to teach in any high school
of the state.

Is There a Grand River
In State Of Oklahoma

Is there Grand river in Oklahoma
or is the name of the stream that we
have been calling Grand really Ne
osho?
That is what State Geologist Gould
is trying to find out.
The five members of the board of
geographic names at Washington re-
Gently decided that Grand was Neosho.
Prof Gould and few hundred thou
sand other Oklahomans think its
Grand. Unfortunately the Washing
ton board held the whip hand in so
far as government publications are
| concerned, and unless they can be
persuaded to rescind their action and
restore the historic name Grand, the
stream will hereafter be known Off
cially as Neosho
The chairman of the board, Mr..
Henry Gannet, has consented to bring
the matter up at the next board meet
ing. If enough people will write him
regarding the matter, to show that
we in Oklahoma are really interested
in it, the board will probably rescind
their action. Otherwise the name
Grand will stand.
A copy of the concurrent resolution
recently passed by the Oklahoma leg
islature is given herewith.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 49,
Memorializing the United States
geographic board to retain the name
of Grand river and not to change it
to Neosho or any other name
Whereas, The United States geo
graphic board has decided to change
the name of Grand river, the stream
that traverses a large portion of the
eastern end of Oklahoma, to Neosho
to make it conform to the name of the
same river where it traverses Kansas
and Missouri, and
Whereas, This beautiful stream
flowing in solemn grandeur to its con
fuence with the Arkansas is so inter
woven with the early history of this
western domain, and particularly with
the history and legends of the Chero

and hunted along its banks, pursuing
deer and wild turkey through greer

ing their feasts and political conclaye;
on its banks beneath the protecting
perennial shades of the giart tree:
that fringed its either side, that it has
become so endeared to this people al
to be almost sacred. and
Whereas, The name of this river Ii

ant of which is "The Tour of til,

prose poet of America, whose visit to
Fort Gibson, at that time one of the
few outposts of the United States,
where he spent some time, during
which he nuts have gazed with wist-
full eyes upon the beauty and grandeur
OF this stream, while his soul drank
in the inspiration that found express

Whereas, The name Grand river,
because of the location of Fort Gibson
on. it, is linked in history with such
national characters as General and
President Zachary Taylor, General

of the Southern Confederacy, General
Robert e. Lee, the chivalrous leader
of the Lost Cause" James G. Blaine,

Whereas, Near this stream General

Whereas, When the Cherokees fin
ished their disastrous journey of a
thousand miles, made under guard and
at the point of bayonet, and which
was made on foot with an insufficient
supply of every article except soap;
when they finished this journey and
had taken up their abode in the wild
erness and were beginning to estab-
lish some sort of government that
would, in measure insure protection
to life and property, they discovered
this stream, and being so impressed
with its beauties and solemn grandeur
they exclaimed "Aquo noolti" mean
ing beautiful" or grand" hence its
name.
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
senate, the house of representatives
concurring therein, that we most
strenuously protest against such a
change in name, as being next to
sacrilege, and earnestly memorialize
the geographic board to retain the
name of Grand, which so aptly de-
scribed this stream in one word, and
Be it Futher Resolved, That we urge
upon our senators and representatives
in congress to use all honorable means
to influence the geographic board to
rescind their action, and not change
the name of this stream from Grand
to Neosho.
