SELF GOVERNMENT
TRAINING SCHOOL
Declares Vote Selling in Various States
is indication of Tendency Toward
civic Depravity.

San Francisco, Cal, July 12.-ecivic
depravity" was denounced by Richard
yelling, of New York, one of the
speakers at a section meeting of the
National Education Association, today.
His subject was Pupil Self Govern
ment as Training for Citizenship
Mr.. yelling said, in part:
Eight years ago, addressed this
association on training for citizenship
in the schools. We were then at the
beginning of a wave of civic righteous
ness which passed over the country.
say passed over advisedly because
there seems to have been lapse into
the lethargy of the older days as is
evidenced by the conditions in many
places.
"The vote selling in Ohio Indiana
and my own state of New York indi-
cate not merely low tone of citizen
ship but civic depravity. The Lor-
inner case gives a clue to the lack of
intelligent interest of the citizens of
Illinois In the selection of their public
servants. The deadlocks n many leg
lis'atures bespeak the trafiicking and
log-rolling that still obtain where the
servants of the people are supposed
to be registering the popular WILL In
the main, the interest of the people
in their public affairs is confined to
the weeks preceding the annual cleo
tions. The only other times they are
aroused from their civic sloth is when
scanda is uncovered or a public
official is under prosecution.
''Is not this condition of things an
indication of the failure of the schools
in effective training for citizenship?
My viewpoint is that of citizen. Sew
eral years ago, / looked nto the mat
ter of civic training in the schools. I
found that the only attempt to pre-
lpare our children for their life in this
democracy was study of the struc-
lture and functions of government Ex-
cept in rare instances, this dry pur-
suit of the theory of government was
mot coupled with any activity where
by the pupils were exercised in the
business of being good citizens.
rs it not a reasonable question to
ask, HAS our public education from
the standpoint of citizenship been a
paying Investments"
Il advocate pupil cooperation In the
government Of the schools as a method
of exercising our children in demo
cratic life. Forty principals Of ele
mentary and high schools in fifteen
states report that they are success
fully employing the plan; five thou
sand children rejoice in their demo.
cratic school life The movement is
Igrowing. 1t should grow faster. It is
high time the National Education AS
, sociation took up this subject for a
thorough inquiry"

OKLAHOMA BENEVOLENT AND
ORPHANAGE ASSOCIATION

The Oklahoma Benevolent and Or
phanage Association is better known
as the Cornish Orphans Home, located
at Cornish, Okla. The mission of this
society is to gather up the homeless
and dependent orphan children from
the lowest possible conditions of life
and place them in the highest possible
conditions of life.
Children are received through the
medium of the county courts of the
state and adopted into good Christian
homes through the county courts.
Children are received from birth to
twelve years of age. When children
are turned over to this society to be
adopted into family homes no charges
are made. Children having one par
ent living and not able to care for
the child at home, can deliver 1t to
this society at his or her command. A
small fee is charged for keeping chill
dren when one parent is living.
Anyone knowing of an orphan child
needing attention, or ay family wish
ing to adopt child will lapply to the
county Judge in the county in which
such child or family is located, or di-
rectly to the Cornish Orphans Home.
This home now stands at the top of
success in the minds of the people of
Oklahoma. Many poor and unfortun-
ate orphan children have already been
welcomed and cared for at this home,
also some homeless old ladies have
found shelter here.
The good people are solicited to help
us in this great work to the extent of
their ability.
What Governor Lee Cruce says:
Ardmore, Oklahoma, June 13, 1908
| To Whom 1t May Concern: The
bearer hereof, Mr.. M. e. Harris, has
been personally known to the writer
for the past six years. About three
or four years ago Mr.. Harris conceived
the idea of erecting an orphans home
at Cornish. Okla, into which might
be received the children of the poor
people of the state. He has given
three years of the best period Of his
life in this work. What has been ac
complishsd so far has been done by
him, single-handed and alone. The
| Home has reached a point of develop
ment such as to absolutely insure its
lsuccess, and now he Is seeking thu
aid of the charitably inclined citizen
ship of the state to assist him in thi.
work
| Mr.. Harris is man Of unquestion
able integrity. His whole soul is ii
his work, and l am sure that every
lpenny contributed to him will be ex
pended in maintaining and further de
veloping the oruhans home. No more
worthy cause ever appealed to tht
charity of the people of the state, ant
in my judgment no more self-sacrifie
ing citizen will be found in the stat,
than is Mr.. Harris.
earnestly appeal to the charitabl!
inclined people of Oklahoma to ait
him in his work of pure benevolence
Respectfully

various places Thursday encouraged
buyers to respond to the urgent call
sent out by commission men here. and
the market Friday picked up little.
Saturday more than 125 car loads of
stock cattle went to the country from
here, largely to Kansas points, and
the yards were pretty well cleaned up,

Strictly dry lot cattle were not affect

week, and sold strong all the time,

today sold at $640 to $500, and this
kind will likely go higher. Pasture
cattle from native territory sell at
$4.75 to 500, native cows $500 to
