Marvellous Results Of a Liner Ad in
The Daily Ardmorete.

John A. Skipworth advertised in
the classified columns for 20 boys to
meet him at The Ardmoreite office
Saturday morning at o'clock. Be
fore the hour arrived, as many as
$50 boys had made response to the
advertisement. Every one was full
of life, every one looking for some
thing to do during the day While
the advertiser was arriving the boys
climbed telephone poles, walked the
framework over billboards and some
of them took a few rounds at the
pugilistic art.
Something needed to be done, and
Sidney Suggs. president of The Ard
moreite Publishing company, walked
out among them. He told few
stories, and arranged a game at puz-
zles, and the boys were kept so busy
they did not realize that time was
passing.
In the meantime a photographer
had been called, and the boys lined
up on the walk in front of the office
for picture. From The Ardmore-
ite the boys were sent to Felkers
store, where they would begin their
work, and the race on Washington
and Main streets among that many
town lads was an inspiration for the
work of the day.

MOONLIGHT
SCHOOLS FOR
THIS COUNTY
MOVEMENT STARTED IN KEN
TUCkY A FEW YEARS AGO is
A SUCCESS AND MAY BE UNI
VERSAlLY ADOPTED.

Superintendent c. w. Richards re-
turned from Ada yesterday where he
has been attending the East Central
! Normal, in session there
Mr.. Richards had the pleasure Of
listening to Mrs Cora Wilson Stew
art of Kentucky, the author of the
moonlight schools, which have done
so much to eliminate illiteracy in
that state.
Mrs. Stewart began The schools
with the idea of giving the poor peo
pie among the mountains of Ken
lucky. regardless of their age, the
privilege of gaining an education, and
so successful was her effort that it
soon spread throughout the state,
and has beer adopted by several
others.
One OF her pupils recently wrote a
letter to her daughter, who is living
in st. Louis, and, although the lady
is 81 years of age, her letter was
remarkable as to spelling, punctua-
ton and composition.
The first school was established in
Rowan county, KY and the slogan
of that state at present through its
influence will be mo illiterates in
1920"
According to statistics there were
67567 illiterates in Oklahoma. 1t is
the dream of State Superintendent
Wilson to beat Kentucky through the
instrumentality of the moonlight
schools, and he, together with the
educators of the state, have adopted
the slogan of mo illiterates in 19lS.'
The state has failed to establish an
illteracy board, but the work will be
carried on through the county super
intendents and teachers of the state,
and moonlight schools established
wherever practical.
No one is barred by age from these
schools In fact, the older people are
the most numerous of the pupils and
are also the most studious, as they
realize what they have been denied
in their younger years.
Superintendent Richards hopes to
see hourishing moonlight schools in
every section of the county within
the next year, and incidentally one
might flourish within the precincts OF
the city, he thinks
A feature that is being agitated
among the normal schools, Superin'
tendent Richards states, is the es-
adjustment of a poultry farm. In
view of the high cost of meats it
has been demonstrated that poultry
is paying proposition and the rails
ing of the same is being encouraged. |
It is easy to figure out fortune in
the poultry business, but the stu
dents of the state normals have de-
cided that they can make the figures
a reality. and for that reason will
establish poultry farms, wherever
possible.

mines Of the United States Coal COM
pany at Gary, w. Va.
The United States is not alone in
this aid TO the miners for the states
themselves have an organization of
state inspectors. whose duty it Is to
take charge at mine disasters, the
bureau Of mines rescuers working
under the general direction of the
state officials
The bureau of mines rescuers, to-
gether with other rescuers trained by
them have saved from death, since
the Inauguration of the bureau in
1910, several hundred lives, the bu-
reau's own men having rescued fully
one hundred and fifty. These results
are in marked contrast to the hap
hazard methods that were in use prior
to the introduction of the oxygen
breathing apparatus into this country
by Or. Joseph A. Holmes, director of
the bureau. Then 1t was a frequent
occurrence that brave, but unprotected
rescuers rushed into the mines follow
ing explosions, only to be killed at
once by the deadly gases. 1t is pointed
out that at Hanna. Wyo., eight or nine
years ago, Is men were entOmbed In
mine and 40 other miners rushed in
TO rescue them, the result being that
the entombed men and the rescuers
too were killed It was the same at
the Cherry, Ill, mine disaster just a
few years ago. Before the trained

found by the rescue crew. on his
way back he was overcome by the
afterdamp but two others ran out and
dragged him in through the barri-
cadcs, which were again sealed. We
did not hear the rescue party until
they were half way through the inner
wall. and then my son gave the order
TO start meeting them and little time
was lost in complying with the order,
despite our terribly weakened con
dition."
when asked how he felt when
reached by the Helmet Men," Whalen
replied: ~ can hardly remember any
thing because | was so weak and
nervous and the awful sight Of my
dead friends on every hand took my
memory completely away from every
thing else i'm the world
when the story Of the rescue work
reached Secretary of the Interior
Lane, who has direct supervision over
the bureau Of mines, he was moved to
say:
'Out OF the gloom Of such a catas-
'trOphe, involving, as IL appears, more
than one hundred human lives. the
saving for A. men comes almost as a
benediCtion. ! am proud OF the brave
fellows from the bureau of mines who
have been working heroically for sew
eral days to bring about this cOnsum-
nation. / am equally proud Of their
associates who had been trained I'm
modern rescue methods by our men.
For years il has been demonstrated
that the old methods of rescue work
not only did not save lies, but even
cost the lives OF many brave Volun-
toers. The oxygen helmets worn by
the trained rescucrs, which permitted
them to penetrate parts OF the mine
filled with poisonous gassos where no
other human being could go, are un-
doubtedly responsible for the saving
OF the miners. The bureaus men, al
ways In advance Of the volunteers, re-
stored the ventilation In the mire, thus
permitting the volunteers to advance.
Presumably the cntombcd men had
protected themselves from the deadly
gases by the erection OF temporary
doors. Then when trained rescuers
reached them. the way out OF the
mine was comparatively easy. ms It had
been restored to normal conditions as
the rescuers proceeded. | have wired
to the rescuers my heartfelt apprecia
tion of their heroic efforts in saving
these lives"
There are throughout the country
eight specially fitted rescue cars be-
longing to the bureau which repOnd
at once with their crews 10 the call
for assistance. In addition there arc
six rescue stations I'm the coal fields
which send trained rescuers To the
scene OF disaster. And when the
rcscuers are not busy at disaster they
are visiting the mining camps and
training the miners in the use of the
artificial breathing apparatus SO that
the miners themselves become capable
rescuers. II was this training of other
miners by the bureau of mines that
played a large part In the rescue of
the entOmbed men at Layland. for
IL OF the total crew of II trained
|rescuers were volunteers from the
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1915-04-04

rescuers had time to arrive, seven
brave volunteers entered the mine
cage only to be brought up from the
bottom of the shaft dead a few min
utes later. 1t was at this same dis
aster however that the trained
rescuers from the bureau of mines
brought 22 men alive to the surface
after they had been entombed for
seven days. The bureau itself has In
its entire experience lost three brave
rescuers, martyrs to the cause and but
the other day another helmeted res
cuer. belonging to n mining company
at Price, Utah, died from exhaustion
due to his strenuous work.
Since the bureau of mines started its
systematic efforts at rescue work, each
disaster that occurred i'm this coun-
try has seen the plans of the bureau
carried out with greater perfection,
until with the previous experience be-
hind them, the bureaus rescuers to-
gether with other men trained by the
bureau on March 6 succeeded in
bringing the ~ men from the mine
at Layland, W. Va.
A movement has been started by the
American Mine Safety association to
give every man who participated in
the rescue work "A gold medal. 1t is
said that time and time again acts of
personal heroism on the part of the
rescuers have been called TO the at
tention of the Carnegie Hero commits
sion and each time tho commission
declared while the me1 undoubtedly
deserved medals. the fact that they
are professional rescuers and not mere
citizens does not admit of giving them
any reward. The men who are en-
ployed by the bureau OF mines as
rescuers engaged in this most hazard
GUS of occupations have little to look
forward to in the form of reward. III
they are killed at their work, the
United States government gives the
widow 4 years ases. The widow
and orphans of miner killed in an
accident are provided for by the
workmens compensation acts, for the
state takes care Of the widow as long
as she remains a widow. and the
orphans until they are old enough to
take care of themselves In states
where there is no compensation act.
the widow has the right to sue and
recover damages. This is denied the
widow OF the federal rescuer for IL Is
impossible TO start q suit for damages
against the federal government.
