You'll feel bully when it's through,

Spend your money in the town,
Where you pull the sheckles down,
Give the man who kicks a frown,
That's the game.

Change your style,
Throw bouquets instead of rocks,

Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would ghost,
Meet his hammer with a boast,
And a SMILE.

They believe in doing things in a
great way. The following resolution,

adopted by the entire body of student

che resolution was passed amid
shouts of enthusiasm and yells for
East Central echoed and re-echoed
through the halls. The resolution in
full follows:
Whereas, The enrollmen on this the
third day OF the second week of the
summer term of the East Central
Normal at Ada, Okla, is now 612
teachers, representing forty-four coun7
ties and five states and exceeding
in number by far the enrolment of
any preceding year, and
Whereas, The building with its
twenty recitation rooms is taA-
ed beyond its capacity with classes
reciting regularly in every lobby, Of

with one hundred additional chairs
borrowed from the Ada high school
now in use, and
Whereas, The equipment, especially
in the departments of domestic sci
ence, domestic art and agriculture is
not sufficient to supply the demands
of the teachers now in attendance
for experimental work, thus occasion
ing the necessity for teachers asking
tor enrolment in these departments
to be turned away, and
Whereas, The legislature of Okla
homa at its recent. session, upon rec
ommendation of the state department
of education, has sought to raise the
standard of the teaching profession
by the addition of other subjects to
the requirement for certificates OF all |
grades;
Therefore, Be it resolved by the |
teachers of Johnston county in charge |
of The chapel hour;
Fnst-That we ask the teachers /
here assembled from other counties
in the East Central Normal district |
to join us in an effort to bring TO
the attention of his excellency, Hon. |
Lee Cruce, governor of Oklahoma, the /.
state Legislature and others in the |
state, either in public or private life. F.

the educational problems now con-

Second-That we indorse the efforts
of the department of education and
OF the legislature to elevate the pro-
fession Of teaching by raising the
standards of requirement for service:
Third-That in view of this ad-
vancel standard we feel that
the teachers should have the opor-
tunites for equpping themselves to /
meet these conditions as they may
arise;
Fourth-That We extend to the gov
ernor ana Legislature a cordial pinvi-
tation to visit the normal, now in
session, and investigate for himself
the cond/ons as presented herein.
We submit this in full confidence
that the people of this state will come
to realize the value of the work done
in the East Central Normal and will
not lend their support to any effort
to destroy the institutions:

 Rembrandt developed slowly; but af twenty-five he painted the wonderful "Lesson in Anatomy" in which is shown the anatomist Tulp and his seven asso- ciates, life size.
 He was then recognized as the fore. most portrait painter of Amsterdam.
 When he was twenty-seven Rembrandt married rich and beautiful ir-haired Friesian girl named Saskia. For eight years his wife was the center of Rem- brandt's life and art, and her face ap- pears on many of his canvases. These were happy years for Rembrandt. He entertained lavishly; but in spite of many distractions he worked with great energy. No fewer than 700 of his paintings and etehings have been catalogued.
 After the death of his wife evil days came. When he was forty-nine years old everything that Rembrandt owned was sold to meet his debts. He was turned out of his house, without friends, with little more than the clothes on his back He whom the world has called the King of Shadows entered into the gloom of poverty. But still he worked until he died at the age of sixty-two, alone and neglected.

There are upward of a score of portraits in the big can- vas, and each man contributed the same amount to pay for it. Naturally each wanted to be quite as prominent as his fel- lows, and those who ere shown in the background made a tremen- dous row because the artist dared to group his figures with the thought of art composition, rather than of their importance.
 Really it is not a .: z',t scene at all. Sir Joshua Reynolt- is : punsioic for this misstatement, being deceived by Rem brandt's originality III handling light and shade. It shows the gathering of the civic guard of Amsterdam at the sound of the drum calling them to practice.
 Rembrandt was one ofthe few masters of painting who hai an opportunity to be extravagaU5. He spent lavishly, and gave away lno0ey with equal indifference. He paid outrageous prices for pictures, when he shoQld ia2Ve paid his debts. Like rao5J g@aas geniuses of art, he died poGr ald neglected.
 His real Iatno was Rembrandt Har- manzoon van Rijn, and he was born at .eyden in 1907, the son of well-to-do miller.
 He was his own teacher. In his early days in Leyden, Rembrandt painted and etched the people about him, seeking character and the picturesque. whether he found it in distinguished folk or in bcggars and cripples. He constantly used his mother as model. He painted between fifty and sixty portraits of him. self3 not from vanity, but to master every form of expression, to learn how to represent the human face from within.
 His methods were original during his whole career. Sometimes he would take
