Only thus can a large school with rapid changing faculty maintain definiteness of instruction, an intelligent handling of pupils, fair ness of classification, and withal a creditable progress as an educational institution.
 College Examinations.
 During the past two years a num- Der of our pupils have failed to show in college examinations the attain- ments for which we have given them credit. Some who have failed we could not have recommended for coll lege work: others we should have been glad to recommend ;and we were still ready to be responsible for their future, even after their failures. We have been forced to the conclusion ,hat with the entire absence of regu- lar written examinations during the nigh school course our candidates for college have found that in the long examinations for admission they were
 
 To meet the need we have introduced regular midyear and final examina- tions for the general college prepara- tory and college technical courses and unannounced monthly written tests for all coures in which they are prac- ticable, Az a result we expect our young men and young women to give better evidence of their training.

Gypsy Found Gas

McAlester, Sept. 1.-McAlester mer
who visited the Gypsy oil test on Tan
nehill prairie this morning, report that
last night about midnight the drillers
struck flow of gas which is estimat
ed al five million feet. Those who
saw the we'll today, say the gas is es
Gaping in heavy volume, visible at a
considerable distance.
The gas was uncovered at depth
of only 700 feet after week of drill
ing, during which time both day and
night shifts have been at work. Those
in charge of the operations said nc
attempt would be made at present to
save the flow, but that the well would
be put down as rapidly as possible in
the search for oil.
A veteran driller, who has worked
in the Michigan fields for years, said
the discovery of gas at such a shallow
depth was unusual and led him to be-

/ When the Gainesville pipe Hne is
completed the Producers Refining
Company will have contract right
to purchase 1900 barrels a day at 3Oc
a barrel The company is building
a refinery with a capacity of 12,50O
barrels and will be in the market for
the purchase of more oil than its thir-
ty-cent contract covers. At least, this
additional purchase looks promising
at this time. The amount of oil pur-
chased above the amount contracted
for, shall be paid for at the market
price. In order to determine what the
market price of the oil is the contract
calls for the appointment of board
of three men who shall decide what the
market price of the oil shall be. One
member of the board or comm ttee is
to be appointed by those who 1tered
into the contract to sell the oil, an
other members is to be appointed by
the refinery, and the third man is to
be appointed by the Santa Fe rail
way company. This board will fix the
market price of Healdton oil so far
as the Gainesville pipe line is con-
cerned.

ACLERGYM STORY
Came Near Losing His Lde--How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10, 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case and they praise it also"
In letter dated November 22.
1909, we quote ReY. Roberts: Pc
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintances
know that. l am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter. dated January 10,
1910, he says: Il shall ever in the
future, as in the past. be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. / believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September s, 1911.
we quote n few words: II am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, 1
do not feel that l have words to ex-
press the faith l have in its merits.
l feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, Of prolonging my life for
more than tea years"
We quote a still later letter. October
81, 1912. He says: Il took a severe
cold three weeks ago. l at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking il two
weeks. / am now better. i consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years of life. l always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter. dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends:
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove a
blessing to many as il has to me,
am yours as ever, C. w. Roberts.

Price of Coercion

Remember Healdton" will be
echoed down through the years in the
oil industry as Remember the Alamo
has been echoed down through Texas
history.
Healdton operators have attempted
to coerce Standard Oil and Standard
Oil has refused to be coerced-at least
so far no good results have come from
attempted coercion and no good re-
suits are in sight, but Healdton field
is today paying a severe penalty for
that attempt An oil field worker said
last night For nineteen years | have
worked in different oil fields, the con-
ditions here are more demoralized than
| have ever seen them before. Produc-
ers feel that thirty cents is entirely
too cheap for oil to be selling, they are
dissatisfied and nervous over the situa-
ton. The feelings of the operators are
reflected in the feelings of the work
ers. Drilling is being done too cheap,
all classes of labor is too cheap, none
of the men are making money and
there is a general feeling of depression
in the field"
Big companies always fight stub
bornly to keep any precedents from
being made that will interfere with
the operation of their business Rail
way companies often spend large sums
upon what seems trivial affairs, but
they are working to keep precedents
from being made against them.
In the fight here it seems that the
operators have attempted to control
the price and to control conditions in
the field by the operation of law. The
methods pursued so far have ended in
failure There are so many loop holes
for the pipe line, that it has so far
evaded the right of control which the
state assumes.
There are almost as many different
opinions as to what should be done
as there are men interested in the
field AS long as there is so much
diversity of opinion, there can be no
concert of action.
An oil operator who has made sue
cess of the business, said recently
that if the eternal fight were discon-
tinued and if the field were thrown
open, that oil in his opinion would be
advanced within fifteen days, and that
Ardmore would grow as other oil field
towns grow, and there would be a gen.
eral uplift to the people in a financial
way.
To throw the field open means much
to the small operator, and he is afraid
of it. To begin building tank farms
and storing oil puts the wealthy COM
pany where it can have an advantage
over. the operator who is without the
means to build storage.
The questions involved are big ques-
uons. Ihey nave direct result upon
the rights and upon the properties
of men who have interests in the field
and they must be handled with care
so that no person will have to shoulder
undue losses.
The brightest spot in the local situa-
tion recently is the appointment of
the committee composed of Lee Cruce.
S. A. Apple and L. H. Love. This COM
mittee has the welfare of the field and
Of the city at heart They are good |
business men who ought to be able to
find a way out of the unpleasant and
situation that prevails at
this time. There is always a solution /.
to every problem.
Try the best for the r1oney-Hoo. !

Steel Storage Cheaper

The flood of oil at Gushing which
prevailed for a series of months was
the cause of all the steel tank con-
Germs becoming active in building
tanks, and the country has greater
supply of tanks on the market now
than it has ever had before. The flood
of oil is receding in the upper fields,
and as consequence steel tanks are
said to be cheaper now than ever be-
fore or at least cheaper than they
have been for some time. One produc-
er said that he had had tanks offered
him recently for a much less sum than
the prevailing price six months ago.
