Visitors to San Saba, Tex, usually

gate. A carriage wheel, which just
fits between the rough posts on either
side, comprises the major part Of the
framework, while, above and below,
pickets are nailed to complete the

adapted tc it's use, while at the same
time it is quite the most distinctive

If | can say one word that will be
of any benefit to those who are seek

coming out
want to say to those who expect

ers get pleasure and delight more
than you can possibly comprehend.
They want to show you how much
they love to impart knowledge. They
have studied hard and they had to
be hard students themselves. They
are as anxious to impart this knowl-
edge as you are to receive 1t.
Your success here will depend
upon your individual desires. If you
want to carry out your ambitions let
it be known and they will supply
that knowledge and do it cheerfully.
The sacrifice they are making will
not be in vain. l say they are max

January, and that we have the lead

Of Oklahoma.
Remember if you are going to
make a success of this you have to
realize that it depends upon your
self. If you are interested yourself
there is not teacher in Ardmore
but who will be interested in you,
and will help you to study and learn
and improve in knowledge. They
will take pleasure in teaching you.
Now | want to be an important

who are here will go out and say

The formal opening of the night
school in this city the past week
marked an important epoch in the
history of this city. The night school
means that an opportunity to obtain
liberal education is open TO the
people of the city of all ages.
When the teachers, pupils, mem

the opening remarks. and said:

that possibly it will be day to
which the citizenship Of this city
will turn in future years and point to
as milestone in educational prog

shall not at this time say any
thing further than this: that we have
a board of education consisting OF
five Of the hardest working men of
! this city; men whose highest ambi-
itons and best endeayors are for the
schools of Ardmore; and the board
of education of this city are contin-
ualy and continuously looking for
things that can be done for the
schools that will make them of great
er service to this community. lnas-
much as this is new departure of
this city | am going to call on the
president of the board of education
to tell what hope, ambitions and as

school system and especially this de-
parlment of the school work.
President Hefner said:
Mr.. superintendent, Teachers, La
dies and Gentlemen; The board of
education have their eyes open and
looking for the best things for all the
people We have, we think, the fin
est system of schools in the state,
and the spirit | find in the Ardmore
city schools is the best | have ever
seen in any city. The spirit | see
among the students is the best in the
state, also in the faculty the spirit
| find is the real college spirit. AS
| have said before and will say
again, the real college spirit
Now there are a great many peo-
pie who have not the opportunity
of coming into this magnificent
school building and catching the
spirit we find among the student
body, the example here from day to
day. A number of people are so sit.
uated that they can not come to day
school. We have been working and
| wish to say that the credit is due
to the superintendent 1t is through
him that the night school was
brought to our attention, in order
to reach the class of people who can
not have the opportunity of being
here and attending the day school
After having considered the matter
thoroughly, it was decided to open
the school But how are we going
to maintain teachers for the night
school? 1t takes all the money we
can possibly get to maintain the day
schools. The superintendent said he
thought that the teachers would vol
unteer to do this work. ! could
hardly believe they would do it, and
when he reported that they would do
IT,, we rejoiced, and tonight We see
almost the entire faculty of the city
schools here. We wish to commend
YOU for the spirit that has caused
YOU to volunteer your services for
this work The idea of working
hard every day with your regular
classes and to take up this additional
burden upon you is worthy of great
commendation.
Now to those who are going to

The prostration and the salaam, sal
utations that many Orientals use, are
only more pronounced forms of the
bow. So there is a connection be-
tween the embrace, so common in
civilized countries, and the greeting
of member of the Kolari tribe OF
British New Guinea, who, in saluting
a missionary, placed one arm about
his neck and stroked him under the
chin. Among the Nasal and the
Ukerewe, it is a mark of respect to
greet an acquaintance or a stranger
by splitting at him. Almost as strange
is the custom ascribed to the Tibetans
of sticking out the tongue by way
of salutation. Rubbing noses is quite
common. The Burmese and many
tribes of Eskimos, Laplanders and
Malays do so.

IT is the opinion OF the police that
some ono who knows his business is
at work here, as in every case. except
that OF last night, the fire has been
started beneath the steps of the house.
a fact which Is causing the police
some concern. however, in connection
