THE HEART

from long before birth until death, in
an average lifetime, about seven mil

the minute. Every twenty-four hours
this slight organ performs labor
equivalent to lifting a ton of material
eighty feet into the air. If the blood
becomes poor, and filled with polsons
from diseased kidneys, the heart is not
only starved, but poisoned as well. lt

Scholastic Information.

Oklahoma City, May 25.-An in
crease of more than "A per cent in
the enrolment and an increase of
more than 327 per cent in the num-
Der of graduates for the year 1876
over the number for the year 1901
five years. is shown by reports just
received by State superintendent r.
II. Wilson from the following ten edu-
cational institutions: the university,
the College for Women, the six state
normals and the two preparatory
schools. This growth is far in excess
of the growth of Oklahoma during
these years and Mr.. Wilson says this
shows greater progress and advance
ment than has been made in any
other field of endeavor or business
enterprise in the state. The remark
able feature of this growth is that
it exceeds the per cent of gain made
in the number of pupils who have
graduated from the eighth grade IN
the same time. In 1911, 3,725 pupils
completed the eighth grade in the
common schools, not including the
cities of the first class or independent
districts. This number was increased
to S,374 in 1915, or gain OF lZZ
per cent. The reports of the county
superintendents, now being received
by Supt. Wilson, indicate that TINS
number will run over ten thousand
this year or a gain of about 40 per
cent in five years, compared with a
gain of 327 per cent in the number
who graduate from the ten state
schools referred to above. Reports
from the city superintendent indl
cate that the number who graduate
from the high school this year shows
an increase of like proportion.

MILITlAMEN A BIG PROBLEM
116 Texans Refuse to Take Oath o.
Service to U. S.

San Antonio, Tex, May 24-What
TO do with 116 members of the Texas
militia who refused to take the oath
of service in the regular military es-
tablishment, has caused General Fun
ston to refer their case to the war
department for adjudication. He made
no recommendation that they be
or punished in any
manner, that being phase of the in
cident that has not been considered
here. The legal department of the
army here was unable to define the
status of the militiamen.
Although it was widely known that
the men were expected to enter the
United States army. 116 of the men
came here at the expense of the Uni
ted States government and then re-
fused to enter the service. Whether
their expenses back home should be
paid out of the war department funds,
whether the state of Texas should
assume the expense or whether any
but the men themselves should pay
for their return tickets, was said TO
be the disputed points.
