CHAPTER XXI.
At Sleepy Cat.


Nothing in nature, not even the
storm itself, is so cruel as the beauty
Of the after calm. In the radiance of
the sunshine next day De Spain, deli
rious and muttering, was taken to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat. In an adjoin-
ing room lay Nan, moaning reproaches
at those who were torturing her reluc-
family back to life. Day and night the
doctors worked over the three. The
town, the division, the stagemen and
the mountain men watched the out
come of the struggle. From as far as
Medicine Bend railroad surgeons came
to aid in the fight.
De Spain cost the most acute anxi-
ETY.. The crux of the battle, after the
three lives were held safe, conferred on
the effort to save De SPANS arm-the
one he had chosen to lose, if he must
lose one, when he strapped it to the
whif1etree. The day the surgeons
agreed that if his life were to be saved
the arm must come off at the shoulder
a gloom fell on the community.
In lifetime of years there can come
to the greater part of us but a few
days, few hours, sometimes no more
than single moment, to show Of what
stuff we are really made. Such a crisis
came that day to Nan. Already she
had been wheeled more than once into
De SPANS room, to sit where she
could help WOO him back to life. The
chief surgeon, in the morning, told
Nan OF the decision. In her hospital

RARE MUSICAL TREAT"

The members Of the Alpha Zeta
and Phi Delta Literary Societies en-
loved rare musical treat Satur-
day night when they were permit
ted TO hear Mrs. Myrta Gilkinson-
Young in an hours musical pro-
gram. Mrs. Young has endeared
herself to the hearts of Berea peo-
pie and the applause Saturday even
ing was enthusiastic and continued.
The several numbers which she gave
were each in order pronounced the
best ever. Mrs. Young is talented
singer of exceptional ability and the
young men were very fortunate in
hearing her. The evenings enter
tainment was arranged by the men,
bers of Alpha Zeta who very gcner-
ously invited Phi Delta to share the
treat. Miss jameson played the ac-

BEREA'S PRIZE

On Saturday evening Jan. 81, the
silver cup that was awarded Berea
as a prize for having the largest
Prohibition League in America, was
presented to the College. The cup Is
SPLENDID one. May it not only re-
present a past victory but be an
emblem that will encourage us for
ward toward a speedy elimination
of the ages greatest conflict(The
fight with king alcohol. May it in
spire those who are entering the
various departmental contests to put
forth their best efforts not merely
to win a contest but as preparation
TO fight alcohol at any time and
every possible place.
The interest Of the students in this
question is demonstrated by the fact
that the temperance study class
numbers fifty. This is a great study
and is furnishing the students with
an abundance of information and
ammunition.

THE VIG0R OF LIFE

There is no asset of more value to
a human being than that Of the vigor
of life. For il means that every
energy and ability that is yours is
soundly backed by brain and body.
fearless, willing and ready for every
emergency that arises.
We who fail to muster into SER
vice the vigor Of life, possible TO US,
daily lose the most precious power
that is in the world for the uplift-
ing of a human soul TO make IL
great
But TO get the fullest measure Of
the vigor Of life, il is necessary to get
away from yoursclf-Out among the
hills, into where the trees commune
with each other, across where the
rocks poke out their heads and to
where the birds nest aud the ami
mails of the wild run and play. For
there, God has stamped on and about
each Of these the vigor Of life. To
get il you must go where il is.
The vigor of life awaits you in
Gods out-of-doors.
A sound mind in a sound body
proceeds the sound soul. And the
sounder the mind and body, the
sounder the soul. Those who reap
most from the work Of the world
have nearly always been those to
whom the vigor Of life meant most
The business and achievement OF
life is no feather bed enterprise.
Life and successful work is an
expression Of conflict and obstacle
eliminating. And TO him, who
searches most that he may gain
most, the vigor of life, secured thru
hardships and toll, gives most.

TEACHERS OF AGRICULTURE

The demand for properly trained
men TO teach agriculture in second
airy schools is greater than the sup
ply and, from present indications,
will continue 10 increase for some
time. Hitherto, comparatively few
men have studied agriculture with
the deliberate intention Of teaching
IL as a life work. In consequence,
while provision for agricultural
education has been greatly develop
ed, the number Of teachers is still
small.
This subject is discussed in the
Agricultural Education Monthly,
published by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. II points
out that a good teacher Of agricul-
ture must, Of course, have all the
fundamental qualifications. lie must
know his special subject and must
also be versed in the science of edu-
cation and the art of teaching. Those
already qualified to teach general
subjects in secondary schools who
wish to teach agriculture should, IL
possible. take at least course ex-
tending over two years. Those who
can not leave their positions can
with very little trouble or expense
take courses during the summer
vacation or short courses during the
winter.
A great deal Of practice agricul-
ture may also be learned by attend
ing institutes and other farmers
meetings. II no such meetings are
held in the teachers district, he can
assist in organizing them. Though
their primary purpose may he tn
aid the farmer, receptive man can
not fail to learn much from the
speakers that are invited To- attend.
In some states special sessions for
teachers of agriculture are held in
connection with state or county as
sociations of teachers. Such meet
lngs offer an opportunity for eX-
change Of ideas and for keeping in
touch with new methods and offer
stimulus and inspiration which the
progressive man can not afford To
neglect.
While there are thus many ways
in which the ambitious teacher OF
agriculture may make himself both
n better instructor and a more thoro
master of agriculture, practical ex-
perience remains an essential to
real success. Men who find them
selves weak in this side of thei.'
work should take advantage Of
every opportunity to remedy the de-
ilciency. Summer vacations can be
spent in practical work on the farm
If the teacher does not own or cannot
rent land Of his own, he may obtain
invaluable experience by working
under some good manager.

Every reader of the Norman Col
umn should be deeply interested in
the choice of County Superinten-
dent for his or her County for the
next four years. No one exercises
greater influence for good than q
strong, capable, fearless, aggressive
superintendent, no one has much
more power TO do harm than
weak, incompetent one who fills
the office for selfish motives.
The contribution below is taken
from the Casey County News. The
writer is a young man Of high ideals
and thorough education who is MAX
ing a success as principal of high
school in the County. He is not a

to the young people of America as
to their life work. Without dispar-
aging any vocation or profession, he
made an eloquent plea for the

enthusiastic applause when he sug-
gested that the Model School, the
dedication Of which he had attend

honor of Mrs. Frost, the outcome OF

night was led by Miss Irene Elliott.
The topic was, How Companionship
with Christ Changes the Life" The
leader mentioned several notable in
stances in which the power of Christ
i'm the life has been especially large.
The ability of the Christ-life to draw
men upward and away from sin was
emphasized. The meeting was char
acterized by that spirit of delicate
idealism which on some occasions
seems to pervade the air, making
everyone better and purer by its
presence.

The Foundation Department pur-
poses 10 try something new in the
way Of school work this winter.
Our courses in Agriculture have al
ways been conducted by the regu-
lar teachers. but this winter most
of them will be conducted by
Vocational students who wish TO
put TO test what they have al
ready studied in their Depart
ment. Now our classes will
take up special subjects such as,
Poultry for a term. or Soil Fertility,
Cattle. Horses. Sheep or some such
and do some real practical work.
We are trying another new thing
for our students. For some time
there has been call for more liter
AIRY work in the way Of debate and
So this term there have been four
/ debating societies organized. Each
society has eight or ten members
and each week they divide evenly
and meet Ia discuss some subject be-
fore the public. We expect in this
way 10 develop some good speakers
by the time of graduation from our
Department comes and thus hold
high the standards Of Foundation in
the other departments.

18th. The Superintendent must
favor no section Of his county, but
must administer impartially 10 every
district according to its needs and
opportunities.
18th. A system Of Secondary Ed
ucation must be supported. No
county can progress, can even main
tain its standing, until il arrives at
the intelligent realization that its
high school system is of parallel inn
portance with its common school
system. The entire educational sys-
TEN of the county must be improved
and built up.
10Th. He must be sincere lover OF
educational interest and hold office
for the advancement and welfare OF
the people Of the county. No one
has a right 10 become an aspirant
for this office for any other reason
than a desire TO serve the education-
al needs Of his county, and that he
believes he, himself, can serve the
more efficiently and more accepta-
bly, than can any other person avail
able. Honest service merits salts
factory remuneration, but desire
for public office on the plea OF need
OF money deserves the severest con-
demnation.

DoRMIToRY RECEPTION
BY Locke Wisema an

Last Monday afternoon we girls
of the Foundation Department Wis
tied the boys rooms. We found
them in good condition, clean and
well arranged. We think our boys
are very good housekeepers. After
we had visited Howard Hall, Howard
Hall Annex and Williams Building,
we all went 10 the Tabernacle for
our social. The first on the pro-
gram was a grand march and since
there were so many more boys than
girls in the march, we got TO march
with several different boys. After
the march we had o grand basket
ball game between the First and
Second divisions Of the Eighth
Grades. The score was 90 to 6 i'm
favor Of the First Division. We
think the boys won because we First
Division girls gave some good yells
to cheer them on.
After the game refreshments were
served by the boys. Social privil-
eyes were granted and everyone had
u jolly time.
In the evening the girls Of the
Farm Home Cottage entertained the
Eighth First team. Dean Edwards
and two Of the teachers were invit-
ed. We played several funny games,
served refreshments and had a de-
lightful time.
