Wild was the night; yet wilder
night
Hung round the soldiers pillow;
In his bosom there waged fiercer
fight
Than the fight on the wrathfui
billow
A few fond mourners were kneeling
by,
The few that his stern heart cher
ish'd;
They knew by his gaze and unearth
ly eye,
That life had nearly perish'd.
They knew by his awful and kingly
look,
By the order hastily spoken.
That he dreamed Of days when the
nations shook,
And the nations hosts were broken.
He dreamed that the Frenchman's
sword still slew,
And triumphed the Frenchman's
eagle;
And the struggling Austrian fled
anew
Like the hare before the beagle
The bearded Russian he scourged
again,
The Prussian camp was routed,
And again, on the hills of naughty
Spain,
His mighty armies shouted.
Over Egypts sands, over Alpine
SHOWS,
At the pyramid, at the mountain,
Where the wave of the lordly Danube
flows,
And by the Italian fountain.
On the snowy | cliffs, where noun
tain streams
Dash by the Switzer's dwelling,

be given to the board wishing to en-
ploy the teacher.
NJ l. Perkins of the East Central
State normal school at Ada spoke on
How the Student Teachers Time for
Observation and Practice Should be
Distributed Through the Grades"
SO many teachers wish to specialize
on certain grade, and on certain
subjects" he said, when they only
take the general course given in the
state normals. Some Of the state nor
mails think that it is right to do this,
while others Ihink that when the teach
ers wish to specialize, they should have
the general course. but That as well
as this, they should continue their
training into whatever branch they
wished to specialize in"
Advice to Specialists.
This address was followed by dis
cussion by Miss Lane Of the Southwest
ern state normal at Weatherford. who
claims that If the pupils intention Is TO
make teaching a life work, or even il
sh does not intend such she should
take extra instruction IN whatever sub
ject she wishes to specialize in. TOO
many try to specialize without knowing
very much about their subject, except
in a general way"
This was followed by an address on
High School and Teacher Training"
by A. c. Parsons Of Norman. Mr. Par
sons said that the question of teachers
who had graduated from the state nor
mails, not wantsg to accept positions in
the country was one OF the greatest
teacher problems on hand, He said that
since these teachers have refused TO
teach in the country the high schools
have tried TO remedy the situation by
instituting n normal training course in
the high schools "ln this way" sad
Mr.. Parsons, they have not eliminated
.he trouble but are only trying to get
the high school girls TO take the posi-
tlons that the normal graduates re-
fuse"
Accommodation Lacking.
"The normal graduates find so many
difficulties in the country with the syS-
tenn as it now is that they will not take
positions there Girls have complained
to me that there N not proper accom-
modations for them One girl com
planned TO me the other day that where
she taught in the country there was no
place to stay except with some people
that had only one-room house. There
were eight in the family, including the
father and the mother and there was
only one room for them all to sleep in
While the father with the children went
to bed, she and the mother went for
walk. When they came back they had
to go to bed without a light, and so on
OF course no girl would stand for this"
Mr. Parsons solution Of the problem
Is one that has been suggested before
and It is that the one-room school
house in the country should be done
away with forever That instead there
should be one large school in country
district near a high school with seven

or eight teachers and grades similar to
the city schools.
The children would have to go a
longer distance to school, but nearly all
farmers in the couptry have cars now
adays. This idea has been carried out
in the school at jerks. Here the girls
have house 10 themselves. They hire
a professional nurse who looks after
the school children and at the same
time has charge OF their cottage"
Meeting Tonight
X. II. Wilson, state superintendent of
education, will make an address to-
night on Educational Efficiency" Dr.
Stratton d. Brooks, president of the
Oklahoma state university at Norman
will give an address on Teachers and
the War" and Miss Grace Arachan,
district superintendent OF schools in
New York City, will talk on "Educa-
tional Measurements"
A report on the committee for reor-
ganizaton will be called for at this
meeting. 1t will be formal and discus
sion of it will not open until the Fri
day morning session.

Dr. Lang Archbishop Of York,
Is Ranked by One Only,

New York,-Among the many for
eigners OF distinction who have visited
America since the commencement the
war, none occupies higher place in his
own sphere than does Drr Cosmo
Gordon Long, archbishop OF New York,
who is about to begin tour Of the
United States and Canada for the pur-
pose OF Conierring with churChmen and
others in America on certain religious
and social problems arising from the
war. The archbishop is considered ono
OF Fngland's greatest authorities on
problems Of sociology Although he
has never before visited America he is
well known on this side by reputa-
ton
Ranked by One.
As prmatc oi England, the arch
bishop OF York is next to the highest
prelatc Of the Anglican church, being
second only to the archbishop OF Canter-
bury, who is primatc of "all" England
The archbishop of York has place and
precedence Of all dukes and peers Of
minor rank who are not princes of the
blood royal and Of all great officers
of state and other dgnitaries OF the
realm, save the lord high chancellor
of England.
Dr. Lang is the youngest archbishop
of modern times. He was also The
youngest bishop. When he became
bishop of Stcpney he was only thirty.
seven years old, and today he is but
little past fifty. He is the son of the
celebrated Principal Lang, OF Aberdeen
University, Sr,eminent and witty digni-
tary of the Presbyterian church, De.
spite the affiliations OF his father, the
son did not 90 to a Scottish university.
Instead he went 10 Oxford and entered
Baliol. Together with Sir Edward
Grey and Lord Curzon, CoSmo Lang
was a member OF that brilliant set OF
men who, under Dr. Jowett, the head
OF Balliol increased the rcnown OF that
ancient college.
Yearned for Politics.
When he left Oxford. Lang had de-
termincd upon political career as
affordlng him the best opportunity Of
helping his fellowmcn. But his means
were not sufficient to justify him in
making politics his profession. Hence
he determined to fink his passion for
politics and sociology with the study
OF law. He entered at the Inner
Temple, London, and studied law for
some years. But on the eve of being
called to the bar he again astonished
his friends by announcing his intention
to abandon the law for the church.
