Tho Poor Boy from the Country

inc Foor Soy from the Country,
Take him in and let him find
Comfort for his troubled mind
In your friendly word of cheer
Maybe there's young career
Blooming in him that will flower
Into some unwonted power
VI the heart and soul. Who knows
From what bramble springs the rose
Such life. so fresh and green
Help to save and keep 1t clean!
Is he awkward, lanky. queer?
That's the kind to lend your cheer,
Help him over those first days
When amid the city's maze
And the hustle of the den
Where he tolls 'mong unknown men
He's so lonesome, heartsick, sad
Maybe he's a mothers lad
Waiting for him way back there
To fulfil her hourly prayer!
What cheap fun to scott and laugh
Play him tricks. and make him chat
For each idle wind of fun
That around the room may run!
Bid him welcome. make him feel
That his dream is coming real,
That the visions all around him.
When the quiet country bound him,
Will be dawning yet some day
If manly part he'll play.
Why. that building over there
Towering DER the busy square,
With Its windows cleaning bright,
Started from a poor boys pluck
Who had come to try his luck
In the strange and glazing light
OF the city. Treat him right!
Every poor boy that you see
Holds within him destiny.
And the country lad Ger all
Stands the knocks and climbs tn
wall.
Take him in and be his friend!
How do You know where he'll end?
And remember, somewhere hid
All her lonely years amid
A mother who has done her best
To raise him equal to the rest
Is waiting, praying, asking God
To guard him from the chastenin,
rod,
Drop the humor, quip and joke,
Help him lift and bear his yoke.

ENROLMENT or
EIGHT HUNDRED
ANTICIPATED AT SUMNER NOR
NAL WITH THE JULY
MATRICULATION

The Southeastern State Normal
School never faced a more brilliant
outlook to become the gathering point
for teachers of Southeastern Oklaho-
ma, and her enrolment exceeds con-
servatiye estimates made prior to the
Katriculation for the summer school.
Southeastern boasts of having the lar
gest percentage enrolment for credit
work this summer of any and all of
the Oklahoma Normals and It is this
kind of work which is going to count
in the rising professional standard.
The teachers OF Southeastern oklaho-
ma are to be congratulated on their
foresight in presenting themselves for
this class of work which will count
toward life certificate at the same
time giving them certificate credit and
rendering them larger value.
OF 31e men and women enrolled ten
days ago. 1i2 are men and III women;
while of the total enrolment 211 are
experienced teachers. or the 319, 224,
or 20 per cent ARE doing credit work,
the highest percentage of any Of the
Normals. The City OF Durant is rep
resented by 81 matriculates, while
Bryan County. including Durant, is
represented by so teachers. Other
counties than Bryan constitute by far
the larger share of the enrolment,
or 237.
The following counties are repre-
sented in the Summer school OF South
eastern: Love, Marshall, Atoka, Choc-
taw, Johnston, Pushmataha, LeFlore,
Coal, Nowata, McCurtain, Latimer and
Bryan. States represented are Kan
sas, Oklahoma. Missouri. Texas and
Kentucky
Durant weekly news. (Durant, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 190?-1944, 1913-06-20

Due to he general advertising and
distribution of information relative to
the summer school and cooperation Of
the county superintendent through
out the Southeastern district II is ex-
pected that without the expenditure Of
another dollar in advertising that at
the lowest estimate 15G additional
teachers will enroll for the July ses-
sion. At present we have 320 to which
IL the July enrolment be added the
total enrolment for the ten weeks will
amount to 47O, but present indications
are that this will pass the 500 mark.
But 1t must not be forgotten that 20
percent of Southeastern's enrolment
represents credit work, and that they
will be here for the full period OF ten
weeks till August 2nd, whereas the
enrollments of number Of other nor
mails represents almost exclusively
certificate enrolment which covers
period only of four weeks. 2
Some interesting deductions can be
made an comparative basis, and
since the ratio of the ten week credit
student to the four week certificate
student is as 2k to 1, the 224 students
who are doing credit work at South
eastern this summer are equivalent to
$50 four-week certificate students. To
this figure must be added 95 students
who are now doing certificate work
through June which places South
eastern's present enrolment at 655
on the certificate basis. But with the
opening of the July session at least
l5O addition certificate students may
be counted on to enroll IL not 200, so
that Southeastern's roster will show
over 800 amtriculation for the Summer
session, on the most conservative bas-
is.
The real capacity of the Normal un-
der it's present equipment is 400, but
with the fact that the enrolment will
be distributed out over the ten weeks
this is great point in favor OF the
teacher who is looking for real re-
suits and the definite accomplishment
of advancements, while on the other
hand many are greatly handicapped
under crowded conditions by reason
of flocking to crowded summer schools
and that on certificate work.
A splendid spirit pervades the in
stitution and both teachers and stu
dents feel that greater results than
ever before are being accomplished.
The citizens are doing everything in
their power to make the teachers feel
at home and this week the Chamber
of Commerce tenders a public recep-
ton to the summer students OF South
eastern.
