NORMAL SCHOOL
X 1T EDMOND IS
THE LARGEST
DISTINCT HONOR TO OKLAHOMA
THROUGH ACHIEVEMENTS OF
PRESIDENT CHARLES EVANS,
FORMERLY OF ARDMCRE.

President and Mrs. Chas, Evans, ac.
companied by their son, Chas. Jr.,
nave been here for the past few days
spending their vacation with old
friends at the Dornicll Hills club.
They left today for their home at Ed.
mond, where Prof. Evans is president
of the Central State Normal school
Since leaving here four years ago,
Prof. Evans has done a remarkable
piece of work. He left he;e inspired
with the work of giving Oklahoma
a real normal school, and how well
he has succeeded is told in the ad-
vancement of that institution. Prior
to his incumbency the enrolment rec
ord was 1,154 pupils, today the school
has an enrolment of 2,9S1 only 19
less than three thousand OF the
12S norma! schools in :he United
States the Central Normal ranks
third Cedar Falls. Iowa comes first
with over 1000; Emporia Kans, sec
ond with over 5000, and Edmond
third with almost 5000. Terre Haute,
Ind, has $500 This comparison
makes a better showing or Edmond
when it is shown that the normal
schools that outrank Oklahoma are
the only normal schools in these
states, while oklahoma has six
schools of this class.
When Prof Evans went to Edmond
there was an enrolment of 60 nor
nal pupils,-that is, GO young men
and young women who had finished
the high school course. During the
past year, there was an enrolment Of
/ ,21O graduates from other schools,
which is a growth that no other
school in America can clam. How
did | do it, did you ask? My answer
is-Publicity | used the columns Of
tre Daily Oklahoman and used pos
tai cards with an individual mailing
list let the people know what we
were doing, and what we hofed to do
and they caught the inspiration and
sent their boys and girls
The year previous to his going to
Edmond the school had Is graduates.
At the end of his first year, there
were 81, at the end OF the second
year los. at the end of tie third year
there were rs, and the last class,
which graduated this year was com
posed of Ill There are = counties
of the state represented IN the school
and there are pupils from Is different
states.
During Governor Cruces Jcrm Of
office the legislature gave the school
an appropriation of $4,000 and the
last legislature appropriated $4,000
To- a new building, $4,000 for a heat
ing pant, SO 600 extra for the summer
school, and appropriated $4,000 a
year for the regular expenses Of the
school. which is $4,000 more than
double the appropriation fo. the pre-
vious year.
While presidents of o.her normal
schools expressed themselve; as be-
ing contented with the approPria.icn
of the previous year, President Evans
has been reaching out, an it seems
that the legislature was in sympathy
with his work. from the sum oI mon.
ey which they have permitted MIN to

It is merely the inrushing volume
of human appreciation of better things
which never wholly dies, taking the
place of religious faith now sadly
sllrunken. How sadly shrunken one
may see, when such stimulants as
Billy Sunday are required to renew
life.
Perhaps the psychologists can ex-
plain the recrudeseence.
Be this as it may, the revival is
here. Publishers are scanning manlf-
scripts which they contemporary re-
turned before. New books of poetry
are appearing every day. Editions OF
.weli-known poets, but a larger number
of poems by new writer's of very con-
siderable merit.
Some publishers are devoting them
selves to the issue of Chaucer, Spen+
ser, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron, Keats.
Wordsworth, Tennyson, Swinburne.
Longfellow. Whittier and many other
lesser poets.
Others are publishing new poetry
alone.

Some IS years ago Miss Edith M.
Thomas, then as now a poet of rare
insight and reserve, said to me:

strenuous rather than the delicately
beautiful in poetry am reminded of
this fact in It's admission of Mr.. Hen
ley as a poet. His recent volume
everywhere meeting with approval of
the critics. though 1t is nothing if not
strenuous my opinion II is for
most part anything but poetry"
At this time few publishers would
risk book of verse the best of which
might meet with scant reading and
many, without the foresight of the few
said that poetry never again would
find its high seat in literature.
THE advance of science has made
poetry tiresome to all but the unim-
portant few This is an age of prose,
unitarian enterprise. We have no pa.
