Great Demand For Teachers.

While Louisiana is not making as
much noise over its public schools as it
did ten years ago, it is certainly max
ing more substantial progress. Build
ing fine school houses, voting school
taxes, marketing large bond issues, or
ganizing high schools, consolidating
country schools-these and many other
evidences of progress are to-day so
common that they pass by unnoticed.
So it is with the employment of trained
teachers Some years ago, the coming
of normal graduate into community
was heralded as great event. To-day
no intelligent community or superin-
tendent is satisfied with an unframed
teacher The reason is plain; other
things being equal, they pay best be-
cause they give the best service. Hence
the demand for such teachers is great
er to-day than ever before. Last year
the State Normal School at Natchi-
toches found splendid employment at
good pay and in excellent positions for
more than 300 normal teachers and 2CC
summer school students, This summer
the normal school will offer every kind
of instruction that any public school
teacher in the State can need. Present
and prospective teachers should send
to IL at institution for outlines of its
courses.

TULSA'S merchants
ARE PROSPEROUS NOW
SECRETARY OF RETAILERS
DECLARES PAST FISCAL
YEAR A SUCCESS.
Are Planning Now to Reach Out
for Still More Business
Next Fall.
(W. A. PAYSON)

The fiscal year ius,rndcd has been
one Of prosperity from the standpoint
of the retail merchant, and while
trade conditions for the past year have
been very gratifying. ana as a whole
all the larger concerns of the city
show good healthy increase of busi-
ness over that of the previous year
nevertheless. no small amount Of pains
were spared TO attract more trade
from "A greater distance than has ever
been done before. As an appreciation
of This class Of trade the merchants
have adopted a system of rciunding
railroad fares through the Retail
Merchants association TO all Cus-
toners making purchases i'm Tulsa,
who live in other cities. This plan
was adopted the first Of April this
year and has been the means of at
tracing "A large amount of additional
trade TO Tulsa, and each month has
shown an increase in the amount OF
railroad fares paid out for this pur-
pose
Trade Excursions Drawing Cards
The trade excursion made this
spring were good drawing cards and
amount OF new business Tulsaward
also. A large amount of cooperative
advertising was compiled and handled
through the merchants association,
and in addition to individual adNrr-
tising was scattered broadcast
throughout the entire itinerary Of the
booster trips made. Plans have al
ready been determined upon for five
more successive trade excursions to
I've made this fall at intervals Of two
weeks each beginning September l.
and It is believed with the necessary
advertising, which is already being
compiled by the merchants who eX-
pect to participate. that this will be
one of the greatest trade getters that
our city has ever experienced.
A large number of new business
blocks have been erected during the
.1st year. but as fast as they are com
pleted they are Immediately occupied
and thus the town goes on by leaps
and bounds and the rapid increase Of
population daily has made conditions
possible not only 10 increase the vol
ume of each line Of business, but also
to add several new stores, and all
seemingly are prosperous and enjoy
ing good buuiness.
While operations in the oil fields
for the past 60 days have diminished,
due to the existing conditions of the
price of oil, nevertheless. our most
representative stores are showing a
good percentage OF increase OF the
of business they did In the
corresponding months Of the previous
year, and IL Is predicted that when
drilling IL commenced in earnest this
fall Tulsa will transact far larger
Of business than at any time
during the previous history OF the
city.
