McGuffey's New Fifth Reader.
BY Robertus Love.

Upon my shelf of Golden tones hold
No book more golden than a volume old
And tattered, fingered by my boyish hands
A many years ago. To-day it stands
With Shakespeare on the shelf, with Shelley's high
Lyrics that pierce the purlieus Of the sky,
With blind John Mitons mighty trumpet blast,
With Putarch's Lives Of leaders Of the past,
With Bunyan, and with Crusoe, and (don'l grin,
ReadeI!) With glorious Hucklebery Finn
"McGafey's New Fifth Reader" That's the tome
OF golden memories of school and home
Which enshrine upon the nearest shelf,
Because it is history Of myself
In part, and beckons as with eager hand,
Llring me back to bcyhoods Memory Land.
Its yeowed pages, penciLmarked Of old
Ever for me shall stores Of honey hold
nectar gathered from golden cline,
Made sweeter by the mellowng Of time.
somber, solemn book I must admit,
This Reader, alien to the ligh,some wit
OF latter days, each Lesson with moral
Implied or pointed. Yet cannot quarrel
With ny McGuaey, since its morals gave
Upliit and leading, powerful to save
From error in the adolescent days
When character was forming. Twas to graz
Daily in pastures fresh OF virgin verse
We rose in school those Lessons to rehearse;
To walk in prosy meadows far beguiled
From common ways by English undefed.

Troy and Victor are getting along
very nicely with their work generally.
Troy will lack only one year Of finish
ing here this year. He has spent two
summers at the Edmond State Normal.
He is getting something fixed in his
head for sure, yet he hardly puts in his
time as we'll as Cuma always did. He
is athelectic and industrious and does
reasonably we'll with his school work.
l think he will make it all right after
all.
Victor has slways been rather apt to
learn and has finished the eighth grade
and is doing the first year high school
work this year. He attended the Ed.
mond State Normal last year and did
credit work there. He was the subject
Of much comment there. He was
doing work along by the side Of adult
teachers, some Of them being forty
years Of age. But his singing brought
down the greatest comment.
I wish you could be here a week
and see our toYs play some of their
games. Two hundred and fifty pupils
on the school grounds playing well or
ganized games, makes a significant
picture. Our basket ball teams have
played the teams in several Of the
neighboring towns with rather signal
success. The girls team have played
eleven games, gaining ten and losing
one, The game they lost was to the
state champion team. So you can see
that the schools Of the state know that
there is Wayne school in the state.
The boys team have not been quite
so signally successful in their games,
but they have won four straight games
this year, including Pauls Valley, the
county seat Of Garven county. Paulls
Valley has a population Of about 5000
and an old school town,
The people here hold me in as their
Sunday School superintendent nearly
all the time since we have beeu here,
and Mahala teaches a class OF little
boys and girls in the S. S. l think
they would feel like they were lost
without her as teacher. She has been
very faithful with them, and they have
been true to her.
We would love to see you more than
we have words TO express, but you
know that that it is useless to brood
and mediate on those things that are
the inevitable. So, we try to keep our
minds away from those things as much
as possible. We would like to slip in
on you some evening when you were
least expecting US, stay and stay until
you would wonder when we were ever
going to get back to the monotonous
praiTies Of Oklahoma, back to our
round Of work in the schoolroom. We
would like to visit everybody until
they we're almost tired, wadethe clear
sparkling Swan creek, swim in the
White River, go boating on Taney
como lake, and then drink our fill OF
the rocks and hills and valleys and
clear streams, trees and grasses and
flowers Of the Ozarks.
Affectionately yours,
A. J. HICKS.

corps of any other nation because OF
Germany's policy of encouraging eli
william flying schools. Under this sys'
TEN, each aeroplane firm of any i'm
portance had a certain number OF
soldiers, mostly officers, but some
privates and non-commissioned Off
GERS, allotted to its school to be
trained by the firms own pilots
The training of these military fly
ers was paid for at rate that en-
abled the companies to use the best
machines and pay high wages to
their pilots. The firms could afford
to provide comfortable quarters for
their pupils and in other ways to do
things on a scale which does not ex-
list in any other country
In order to stimulate progress in
aviation. military aviators were en-.
couraged to enter the big flying com
petitions and various government de.
partments gave handsome prizes. For
this reason, there were thirty start
ers in the Prince Henry competition
this year. while the big London-to'
Manchester air race in England about
the same time brought out only six
starters.
1t is now practically certain that
the German and Austrian air scouts
together outnumber all the French,
British, Belgian, Seryian and Dutch
ayators, so that in the aerial end
of the war, Germany is far ahead OF
her enemies.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-The story of
the ramming of a German Zeppelin
airship by the famous French ayia-
tor Roland Garros, story which yet
lacks for confirmation and is dsbe-
lieved by those who know Garros
best, probably arose from the idea
that a Zeppelin cannot be attacked
in any other way, owing to its being
defended from assault from above by
rapidfiring gun mounted atop the
gas bag.
In order to make sure of his aim
bomb thrower in an aeroplane
would have to approach within 100
feet above the Zeppelin, where he
would be within easy range of the
gun supposed to be mounted on the
balloon.
AS a matter of fact, however, only
three or four of the very latest Yep
pelins are equipped with these gun
platforms and furthermore, it is
learned on good authority that none
of them are mounted with guns, for
it is now known that if there were
ia leak in any of the chambers of the
gas bag near the middle portion or
the dirigible, the escaping hydrogen
would find its way out near the gun
platform and would be most certain
to explode when the gun was dis
charged
1t is now believed that the explo-
sion several months ago of the new
Zeppelin at Johannisthal, near Ber
lin. when the entire crew was killed
was caused by the gun on top firing
blank cartridges as an experiment.
1t is therefore comparatively a
simple matter, in absence of a
gun, for an aviator to approach quite
close to a Zeppelin from above, for
the crew in the cars below the gas
bag cannot hit the aeroplane, so long
as the pilot keeps the envelope be-
tween himself and the cars of the
Zeppelin. The knowledge of this fact
probably accounts for the absence of
reports of German airships flying over
France, while the German balloons
have been seen much over Belgium.
France has huge corps of expert
aviators and aeroplanes OF the high.
est efficiency, while the Belgium avia-
ton corps is so small that it hardly
counts.
While Germany has been the espe-
cial sponsor of the dirigble for mill.
tary purposes, that country has not
overlooked the aeroplane While
France has popularity been supposed
to lead in war aeroplanes, Germany
has as many as thirteen hundred of
these machines, and perhaps the
largest trained corps of military avia.
tors in the world
These thirteen hundred machines
are all comparatively new and with
all the latest improvements. With
one motor firm putting out lao aero
engines a month for the last six
months, one may safely put the en-
tire German output at $50 a month.
With an aeroplane for each of these
engines, German military aviation
activity breaks all records
The number of pilots to fly these
machines is greater than the aviation

an understanding of the means by
which the people of the rural com.
munities can be reached. Altered
conditions OF farm life, new machin-
cry, social impulses, have played a
very large part in the responsibility
OF the churches of today. Is the
church inadequate to meet the needs
Of the changes in conditions? No,
but they are not prepared to take
up the responsibility yet.
Too many churches think too
much OF the fiancial end of the church
work. rather than the spiritual work
OF the church. There is of course
a financial consideration. and many
pastors are rarely well supported.
But the problem of the church
Is not the question Of financial sup
port. That will be taken care OF
when the other work is done.
What social and recreational pro.
gram Is recognized by the country
church? Young men are denied
