Completion of these two courses
will firmly ground the student in what
are usually known as the classics and
will enable him the better to appre-
ciate the other and lighter reading to
be found in the other lists.
THE reading course for parents,
which is under the direct supervision
of Miss Ellen c. Lombard, secretary
of the home educational division, in.
cludes a number of books dealing with
problems of everyday life in the
home. The volumes on this list In
clude books on practical motherhood,
marriage, development of children,
care of babies, domestic economy,
shelter and clothing, domestic science
and a number of pamphlets and bull
agriculture and dealing with the can
ming and preserving Of fruits and
vegetables.
The boys course includes a few
Of the more exciting books upon the
lists of American literature and
worlds fiction, md In addition such
books as Hans Brinkcr.' The Jungle
Book Westward Ho! biographies OF
Lincoln, Lee and Franklin, addresses
by Lincoln and Washington, Cleveland
Moffett's Careers OF Dangers and OAR
ing and Bulfinch's Age of Chivalry.
The careful perusal of these books
will, we feel, pay large dividends not
only upon the moral character Of the
boy himself but upon the future vel
fare of the country at large.
THE girls course includes only one
or two of the books recommended for
boys, but 1t parallels the other course
In that It advocates the reading Of
selected few of the worlds master
pieces Of fiction and the more ju-
venile OF the American authors works.
Alice in Wonderland Little Women,
The Mil on the Floss, 'Bvangeline,'
Helen Keller's story Of her life and
the four books dealing with house fur
nishing, the preparation of food and
the physical side Of girlhood and wom-
anhood are among the other books rec
commended"

SULPHUR Mlnlnq In Texas.

Near Freeport, Tex, sulphur is pro-
duced from beds approximately 1000
feet below the surface. The sulphur
is melted in place an can then be
raised to the surface h. means Of an
air lift Superheated water at TEN.
perature of 1886 degrees Fahrenheit,
and under high pressure is forced into
the sulphur-bearing formation The
water penetrates the deposit and melts
the sulphur Whose melting point Is
239 degrees Fahrenhelt), which then
flows to a pipe from which 1t issues at
the surface and runs into bins. These
bins are constructed of boards which
are raised as the mass increases, the
bins finally reaching height OF thirty
to thirty.five feet. The sulphur prompt
ly congeals on exposure and after
few hours assumes the true sulphur
yellow.

HeaIdton Reiolces,

Healdton crude has been advanced
to 40 cents barrel, rise of cents,
According to an announcement re.
ceived here from the Magnolia Oil Co.
The news of the rise was welcomed
warmly by Healdton producers, and is
the second in the last few weeks. It
is the general belief that the rise came
as a result of the decision by many of
the larger companies in the Healdton
field to store their oil rather than sell
at the low market price. This decision
will be adhered to until the price ad-
vsncen.

There are the 'Iliad' and Odyssey
of Homer, the Divine Comedy of
Dante, and the great dramas of Shake
speare-'The Merchant of Venice,
Macbeth, Hamlet and 'Othello'-and
Goethe's Faust
These books should be read by all
who would know the worlds best lit
erature and life. The bureau of educa-
ton therefore has chosen them for its
first course in reading, and we have
been very pleasantly surprised to note
that the majority of persons who have
evinced interest In this movement
have inquired particularly about the
bibles and their supplements, the lit
erary masterpieces We have been
of the opinion that the majority of
people would find these selections a
little heavy for their reading and
would prefer the works listed under
the fiction heading. But nearly every
inquiry which has reached US from
adults has specified thai the writer de-
sired particularly to familiarize him.

ing the course we send blank, to be

advise that the reading begin as soon
as possible and that, when possible,
the books be taken in the order

University Wins Property Contest


The supreme court reversed itself
and affirmed the judgment of the dis
trict court of Logan county, which held
that the city Of Guthrie had the au-
thority TO deed convention hall and
the land surrounding 1t to the Meth
odist university Of Oklahoma. In de-
cision several months ago the court
held the land in question was donated
to the city for park purposes and could
not be diverted to any other use. The
new opinion was written by Justice
Summers Hardy and was concurred in
by all justices except Justice John b.
Turner, who dissented.
In consideration of securing a perma-
nent endowment of $3.50, 900 the people
of Guthrie voted to give the Methodist
university convention hall and the land
surrounding 1t for 81 and other con-
sideration. The right of the city to
do this was attacked by number of
citizens, who contended that the prop
erty should be held by the city for park
purposes. Convention hall was for
merly used as the seat of the state
government.

Aggie Board viii Control Big Func

AggIe Board VIII Control Dig Funo
Custody and control of the Morrill,
agricultural fund, amounting to ap
proximately $4,000, and around which
a controversy has been waged between
President Frank NJ. Gault Of the board
of agriculture and State Treasurer w.
l.. Alexander, is awarded to the treas.
urer of the board Of agriculture in an
opinion from the attorney generals Of
fee.
Mr.. Gault is also treasurer Of the
board of agriculture and 1t has been
his contention all along that he was
the proper custodian Of the fund.
Treasurer Alexander contended that
the money should remain in the state
depository and be paid out on vouch-
ers approved by the board of agricul-
ture.
The attorney general holds that Mr..
Gault can not be both president and
treasurer of the board. He suggests
that at the next meeting Of the board
one of the members be elected treas
urer and after he makes good and suf-
ficient bond the state treasurer shall
turn the Morrill, fund over to him.
The ruling of the attorney general
sustains the contention of President
Gault that the board OF agriculture
should have absolute control over the
fund. The opinion Of the attorney gen.
eral is borne out by the provisions Of
the act of congress under which the
Morrill, fund is granted.

tending to thou
sand and one other jobs which he
has selected for himself, he has
decided to become a professor OF
literature in the University Of the
Common People. To this end he
has Just instituted one Of the
most novel schemes ever inaugu-
rated-a course in literature for
the benefit of all the people of
the United States and its insular
possessions.
The bureau of education Is at
the head of this university Of lit
erature, q university where the
sole cost Of tuition is to evince
interest in the lessons, univer-
sity which confers certificates Of
merit in lieu Of degrees and guar.
antees that all students will re-
ceive benefits in direct ratio to
their application.
DR.. P. P. Claxton, commission
er of education, is the man who Is
at the head of the literature
movement, and from all indica-
tions the course will be an excep-
tionally popular one.
We are receiving scores of ap-
plications every day from persons
who desire to share in the bene.
fits of our reading courses. Doc.
tor Claxton told me when | in.
CURED as to the response which
the movement was meeting with.
If the applications continue to
come In at their present rate
and there is hardly a day that
does not show an increase over
the day before-we shall be hard D
to handle all the correspondence 6
tached to the courses, and congre
Will have to make additional Apr
priations for the betterment of the /
erary taste of the people.
1t was In order to bring about tn
betterment in the state of the readil
public" continued Doctor Claxto
that the bureau of education deci
ed to institute this series of cours
In literature. At present we have t,
divisions of the main course mapp
out. These are:
THE great literary Bibles.
Masterpieces of the worlds liter
ture.
"A reading course for parents.
miscellaneous reading for boys.
Miscellaneous reading for girls.
Thirty books of great fiction.
Some Of the worlds heroes.
American literature.
biography.
History.
Seven of these courses have be-
completed, and we are engaged In q
swering hundreds of queries concer
ing them. The other three will be 4
ished in short time, and then q
government will be in a position to
a most humane thing-to tell perso

That, of course. is the primary {
Ject Of this literary course, and '
firmly believe that If only fraction
the persons who have already evinc
interest in this movement apply the
selves to the work which we ha
mapped out. the improvement in t
literary taste of the country at lar
will be marked"
IN discussing the first of the
courses Doctor Claxton said: "Amo
