SPECIAL CONFERENCE ON BOY WORK
Society Notes of Interest.
Spring Track Meet, Grade School Bo> , Tulsa, Oklahoma
'December 7to 12 there will be a Special Confer-
ence on Boy Work in Norman. The Conference will
endeavor to train those enrolling in the course in the
best methods of handling boys in the class room, on the
play ground, in the home, on hikes and camping trips.
The Conference will be held under the auspices of
the Y. M. C. A. at the Y. M. C. A. House. The leaders
will be men from Muskogee, Tulsa and Oklahoma City
and include C. H. Fenstremacher, of Muskogee; C. E.
Beechner and J. W. Robb, Tulsa; A. S. Kresky, Oklaho-
ma City.
Every year Mr. F. A. Garrison, State Y. M. C. A.
Secretary, has appeals for men capable of supervising
work for boys in connection with schools and churches.
He finds it difficult to fill these positions because there
are few men whose training fits them for the work.
Th Conference is to be open to the men of Norman
as well as the University students. It is expected that
public school teachers and teachers of boy's classes in
the Sunday schools will want to attend the conference.
The complete program of the Conference is to be
made public within a few days.
A GREAT FEAST
Arrangements .are being made
for about four thousand men
women and children of Norman

Under this title, three mu-
sicians of extraordinary talents
gave an entertainment at the
University Theatre yesterday
afternoon and night. They play-
ed upon more than a dozen mu-
| sical instruments, several of
jthem novel ones and others of
| the conventional type, but from
all of them the artists succeed-
ed in extracting harmony. The
program included many popular
songs, overtures and selections
from standard operas, ballads
and airs. The little company is
a hard working one, and its en-
tertainment gave great satis-
faction. Especially is the little
lady, Miss Josephine, an excep-
tionally talented musican. Ray
Berry is to be commended for
bringing such an excellent
troupe to our city.

A Suffrage Song
If a lassie wants the ballot,
Need a laddie frown?
She will cast her vote for honor,
She'll turn the other down.
Many a laddie has the ballot,
Not sa bright as I;
And many a laddie votes his bal-
lot,
Overcome with rye.
If a lassie works for wages,
Toiling all the day,
And her work the laddie's
equal
And give her equal pay.
If a body pays her taxes,
Surely you'll agree.
That a body earns the franchise,
Whether he or she.
