To the People of Seward County:

The oil test just started by the Seward County Oil &
Gas Company will be drilled 1t will be drilled by home
people. Control of the company will be vested in home
people.
There is not particle of doubt as to this. We have
started this test with the determination to finish start
ed and it will be done.
No need have any hestancy in buying this stock
the grounds that the well will not be finished, for it
will be.
We are not promising that we will strike oil, but
are giving you definite promise that we will make
thorough test
We will admit that we have had more less dscour-
aging conditions to overcome but have been
full in this and we know that can finish the project
We ask you to put your money in with with full
that every dollar will be handled TO the best
advantage and that if oil is found you will share with
every other stakeholder in equal proportion.
Pay no attention to rumors that may be afloat. Take
it for granted that will drill this test regardless of
what you may hear, for that is exactly what
going to do.
If you wish more information to the condition of
the company call and talk the matter with me per-
Will you come in with us and help us develop the Sew
ard county field?
Respectfully,
EZRA SHORB President
Seward County Oil Gas Company.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1920-04-22

Should the well west of town come in during
the drilling of this test this stock would go to 10
or 20 to in no time if good streak of oil sand
is penetrated as the drilling goes down the stock
will be raised so it would be well to get in on the
start and be in position to take the benefit of raise
should it come.
Read the letter printed herewith from the
president Of the company and then put few hun
dred dollars into this test and take your chances
with the balance of the boosters.
If our solicitors do not get to see you personally
you can secure stock from any of the directors of
the company. 1t is difficult matter to see all, so
do not wait to be asked We want your assistance
and we will be glad to have you come in with u.s. re-
CARELESS of the size of your subscription.

and still leave enough leases to make every dollar
worth hundreds if a strike is made
1t is an easy matter to use the old cry heard in
every field where test is being made-'Oh,
there's no oil here" The same thing has been said
in every town where oil development has been
started. 1t was said at Eldorado and Augusta and
Douglas and Florence and Amarillo and Burke
Burnett-but that did not keep those places from
becoming oil centers When the KansasOkIa-
homa field was discovered there was no oil within
hundreds of miles, and the best business men of
the territory knew there was mo oil there-it was
too far from production" yet the Kansas-Okla-
homa field is the greatest in the United States and
is spreading out all the time.
And the big thing to consider is that the fellows
who knew there was no oil there" did not make

This stock can be sold away from home very
easily, but the directors have determined to keep
control at home, among home people, and they
intend to stick to this plan. No one is going to
have any say in the matter of drilling the well but
home people. This not only protects those already
holding stock, but any new ones who may put their
money into the company
Now, do not get the idea that we are asking you
to buy stock as charitable proposition for we are
not We believe this stock is absolutely the best
wildcat stock that you can buy. The lease acre
age is large and enough money has already been
spent to guarantee the completion of well.
Leases will be sold and we feel that if oil
is found money can be raised from this source to
pay back all the money put in by the stockholders

CORRESPONDENTS STUDY

Correspondence study is growing in
popularity in the United States. An
important part Of the extension work
of universities, colleges, and depart
ments Of education is accomplished
through correspondence, thus giving
TO large numbers Of men and women
who cannot attend the higher institu-
tions of learning an opportunity to
profit by well-directed reading and
study and by scholarly criticism. In
a recent bulletin of the Bureau of
Education on Correspondence Study
in Universities and Colleges" DIR.
Arthur j. Klein, executive secretary
of the National University Extension
Association, discusses the need for
correspondence study service, and pre-
sents many interesting facts relating
to methods Of instruction, forms Of
correspondence courses. etc.
Few educators realize the numbers
Of state-supported and privately en-
dowed educational institutions of the
highest type which have adopted
correspondence study. Correspondence
work is conducted by non-commercial
institutions in 80 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia. In all these states
except one work is conducted by
state-supported institutions. OF the
73 institutions listed, 61 are. supported
by public funds; u are privately en-
dowed.
The occupations Of correspondence
students practically include all fields
Of human endeayor. Statictics show
that more Itl than women avail
themselves of correspondence courses.
Almost hundred thousand students" ,"
says DR.. Klein, 'are taking work, in
whole or in part conducted by cor
respondence, in state-supported and
privately endowed institutions. New

SELECTING TEXTBOOKS

Hubert Wilbur Mutt, in his recent
book on THE Supervision of Instruc-
ton deals with the selection Of text
books as follows:
/. Is the text organized in keeping
with the purpose for which the course
is being taught?
.. Is the text adapted to the spe-
cifc school field in which it is TO be
used? For example, is it strictly
high school text, or has It been COM
piled with a view of filling both a
high school and junior college de-
mand? Too many textbooks have been
prepared for commercial purposes:
hence they are not the best for any
one specific field.
3. Is the text organized as a
device. and as such does it measure
