Medical science on this side of the
water is all agog over the Friedman
tubercular serum. Some doctors say
it IS alright. Others say it is a
fraud. At any rate it VIII probably
be as efficacious as other serums for
other diseases, in putting the sufferer
out of all earthly misery more quickly
than would the regular run of the
disease.

Here is the latest from the defense
of the low wage employers of girl
labor in the department stores:
Girls don't so wrong because they
are hungry or because they need
clothes. They so wrong because they
are tempted and overpowered by the

Eve the apple and told her to eat
of it.

Think Before You Speak.

If thou thinkest twice before thou
speakest once thou wilt speak twice
the better for it. Better say nothing
than not to the purpose. And, to
speak pertinentliy consider both what
is fit and when it is fit to speak. In
all debates let truth be thy aim, not
victory, or an unjust interest; and en-
deavor to gain rather than to expose
thy ntagonist.-William Penn.

The Wichita Eagle says that the
population in the Cushing section is
not so great, but that the activity
is something to make people sit up
ana take notice. This is easily ac-
counted for. Cushing has oil-an
abundance of it-and advertises it.
Other sections have just as much oil,
but keep the light under a bushel,
so that no one may see it. In other
words, it seems that the STANDARD

tions of the state-in the southern

teaching in the consolidated school
The school wagon is an ordinary farm
wagon, with seats and with covered
top and sides.
From 10 to 20 children are carried daily,
where only 10 or u of these children
could attend their own school at Cedar
Grove, walking through the mud and wind
and rain of the winter. The wagon stops
at the gates of as many houses as pos
sible. Those pupils who do not live on
the road along which the wagon passes
walk from their homes to stated points on
the road and join the party in the wagon
when 1t passes. No one of these children
walks more than three-quarters of a
mile, while some live nearer this road.
The wagon has a schedule time to reach
each home, and to gather the children
who walk to the road, and each one is re-
quired to be ready to leave promptly so
that no time is lost. The driver is under
contract to carry the children back and
forth on schedule time and to protect
them and to keep order on the way
This has proved to be an excellent ar
rangement. More children from Cedar
Grove are attending, and the attendance
is more regular. The children are more
comfortable in the Alamuchee school
building, and they are not exposed to
the disagreeable weather, nor prevented

from attending school, as was the case
when only the Cedar Grove school was
open to them. The patrons like this new
plan, and other communities are contem-
plating consolidation Of their schools.
Some expect to combine their schools
with the Alamuchee school, sending a
wagon from each place to that central
point. A decided advantage Is that each
teacher has fewer grades. Formerly two
teachers at Alamuchee were teaching
seven grades. Each teacher had only a
short time for each recitation, where now
these three teachers have more pupils
and a few larger classes, instead of in
Vulnerable small groups.
