Department os Education
In accordance with the law re-
cently passed by the Legislature,
arrangements are being made to
charge tuition to students attend-
ing Oklahoma institutions whose
homes are outside the state.
Tuition has always been entirely tual schools in wh

dents. The increasing number of
young people from other states, es-
pecially neighboring states, who
realize the splendid advantages
they can get al Oklahoma's educa-
tional institutions, have made it
seem necessary to charge tuition
that will help defray the expenses
of maintaining these institutions.
The amounts received from such
students will be turned over to the
State Treasury
The rule passed by the State
Hoard of Education putting ibis
law into effect provides that the
price charged in Oklahoma shall be
the same as the state from which
the student comes would charge an

makes the rate of tuition vary from
nothing at all to amounts ranging
from $12.") to $15(1 per year.

To the County Superintendent:— |
I have ju-t completed a tour of
the state visiting the six state nor-
h there are en-
summer term
more than 6000 teachers, of whom .
at least 5500 are taking credit work !
In addition to these, 500 teachers
are attending the University and j
several hundred are taking work !
outside of the state. This means a |
wonderful advancement for the [
cause of education.
We are introducing into the
course of study this time several
new features: oue on good roads,
one on poultry and one on thrift.
The county commissioners of your
county are authorized to appropri-
ate $100 for premiums to school
children contesting in poultry. See
Sec. 285, 1915 School Law. The
poultry industry brought more
money to the state of .Missouri last
year than the wheat crop will bring
to Oklahoma this year. The farm-
er is interested in the things
that will bring him the best results
and make his surroundings the
most pleasant.
Good roads should be studied
and taught in all the public schools.
Last year, under the direction of
the commissioner of highway, Mr.
Sidney Suggs, several miles of
good roads were built by the
schools.
I believe thereis as much merit and
educational value in teaching a boy
to spend a dollar wisely and profit-
ably as teaching him how to earn it
easily and honestly. Therefore, we
have inaugurated a course in
Thrift. We will lie glad to have
you promote and assist in as much
of this as you feel that you can.
An average of twenty-three hun-
dred persons enter the profession
of teaching in this state every
year. The records show that of
the 11,876 teachers employed in
the public schools there are approx
imately 5000 who hold first grade
certificates, state certificates, and
college diplomas, and of this num-
ber about 70 per-cent are employed
iu the city and village schools;
while in the country schools where
we have 60 per-cent of the chil-
dren, less than 30 per-cent of
the teachers holding first grade
certificates are employed.
The records show that about 24
per cent of 585,134 children enum-
erated iu this state live in the
cities where they have the advan-
tage of a four year high school,
that 16 per-cent of them are in vil-
lage schools where tliey have some
high school advantages; that 60
per-cent of the children live in
rural school districts with no high
school advantages; that the child

Many new features have been ad-
ded this year, the most notable of
which is the spectacle "Solomon

contains 1,003 wild animals, 41
elephants, and a "baby zoo." The
circus is transported on 89 double
length cars. Special arrangements
have been made by the railroads to
accomodate the crowds that will
visit the circus from this • city and
the surrounding country.
Social Movement
Norman is witnessing a new
movement which is of so broad
scope as to demand the interest, and
cooperation of every one in out
town. It is unique * that' it is a
movement, not an organization.
It is to be known as the "Social
Service" movement, and lias for
its purpose the co-ordination of all
the organizations of the'town,—
religious, civic and social,—into
one definite movement wlik'h shall
vitalize the standards of the en-
tire community. The central thot
of the movement is to engage all
the above organizations in, service
for human kind.
There is a steering committee
composed of the chairmen four
committees, the president and sec-
retary. They areas follows: Pres.,
Dr. J.L. Day; Sec , II. C. Oossard;
civic committee, I). A. Wickizer;
rural committee, II. O. Miller;
student committee, Leon Phillips;
instruction committee, W W. Phe-
lan. The plans for this work will
be announced in the near future.

schools the best possible. The best
way to do this is to get a corps of
teachers who are alive and active
and not afraid to attempt these
things. When Mrs. Cora Wilson-
Stewart, made a tour of the normal
j schools a large number of county
j superintendents and over two thous-
I and teachers declared they would
inaugurate the moonlight school in
their districts this winter for the
purpose of encouraging not only
those who cannot read and write
i but many of those who can read
and write and who wish to improve
| their present condition. This will
create a deeper interest and a
stronger bond of sympathy between \ tjonal matter?
the teacher and the school com-
munity. In other words, it is my
hope that we may establish in the
schools of Oklahoma during this
social center movement on
