Extensive Report by Expert Engineer
Shows Few Faults in the
Construction
Engineer Robert VV. Goodnow of
Kansas City who was employed to in-
kii el the paving of tli eity has liiade
H complete report of bin findings to the
committee.'
Ho reports thtit the pavement was
cut in twenty-one place to secure sam-
ples. t)n the .-'he reports in detail
giving thickness and character of all
material used. He reports that the
thickness of the asphalt the hinder
and the concrete base Is all right; In
most places thicker than ihe specifi-
cations. He states that material at
each place is fair Rood or very good
a 8 the case might be.
He reports that the red natid.-tone
used in the base Is all right but rec-
ommends that fine sand front the stone
he eliminated from future contracts
as It might not he xnfflcien't to last
during the time f the maintenance
period.
He states that all pavement laid with
Trinidad asphalt will mark when the
temperature reaches from TO to !.' de-
gree Fahrenheit ihe first year or two
hut that this la evident e ood pav-
ln? and that traffice will Iron out the
marks.
' He believe that the asphalt on Kan-
gas avenue where same Is cracked
was laid too hot or too much nam! is
used causing the top to be too hard.
He reports unfavorably on Iwo cuts
made out of the twenty-one. The con-
crete in front of I.utz's grocery on
Fourth street he snys is very poor;
looked like shortage of cement or else
too much fine sand. On Sixth street.

First Year of Industrial School Is
Great In Spite of Many
Difficulties
Next weet will see Ihe close of the
Tirst year's work of the Industrial In-
stitute and College for Girls and in
spite of hindrances and disadvantages
coupled with the opening of the col-
lege a review of the year's wo: It
shews splendid work and progress in
all departments. There are no grad
uates this year hut five ambitious .
students will tutor during the surnmor
;ind by taking two years work next
year 'graduate in 1911. These girls
are Nellie Warford Allie Richards
Florence McClure Mary Harper5 and
Itletta Beavers.
Especially interesting has been the
work In the Industrial departments
and Miss I.ula M. Frasier teacher In
domestic arts under whom 69 pupils
were enrolled during the year la able
to relate instances of startling trans-
formations where girls who were un-
able to wear a thimble last fall when
they entered her class are now prom-
ising dress makers. Both preparatory
and freshman work has been taken up
by Miss Frasier's pupils this year. The
preparatory work consists largely of
sample work and many hours were
spent in making straight rows of bast-
ing stitches and working uninteresting
buttonholes before the students were
allowed to start on a garment. The
freshman work included a corset covet
made by hand a lawn shirtwaist made
by machine and a plain wash dress by
hand and machine. These garments
were cut from bought patterns being
placed and cut by the pupils. The ma-
terials were purchased by the pupils
who owned the pieces when completed.
Braiding and hand-made buttons were
used extensively' In trimming the
dresses this year and whatever trim
ming is in vogue will be use.d each
year une or tne prettiest nraiuea
dresses was made by a young lady
who was also a student in the fine arts
arts class and drew her own design
for braiding. Art needle work stitches
on small linen pieces and sample ideas
in miyinery were also taught in the
first year's work.
The first work In the sophomore
ysar v ill be a fun suit of underwear
hand embroidered and made by hand.
A thin white dre.ss of French lawn
trimmed with tucks and lace and a
hat of original design made to wear
wiili it will also be required of each
pupil. All material used by pupiK In
.his grade must be the same.
The junior work Includes draught
ing nnd cutting work on woolen goods
and advance needle work and millin
ery and the greater part of the senior
year in this department will be de
voted to ladies' tailoring. This will
be taught according to the latest meth
ods and there will be all necessary
equipment for the work. The pupils
in the domestic arts department take
grades and are advanced by merit the
same as In any other department.
Miss Hancock a graduate of the A.
& M. College at Stillwater has charge
of the domestic science department
where excellent advancement has also
been made. The class started with
plain cooking such as cooking cereals
and meats and nuking simple desserts
and made such astonishing progress
that they were able to serve the board
of regents on their visit to Chickasha
a dinner which caused them to marvel
indeed It is said that the girls who
know nothing of cooking when they en-
ter the class are as a rule the better
students as they have nothing to un-
learn but a number of married ladies
who studied under Miss Hancock dur-
ing the ip.-y?t year have combined their
knowledge of cookery with her meth-
ods with pleasing results. One of the
best In the class is Mrs. I C. Mason
wtiose former practical experience has
been a help instead of a hindrance.
The theory of cooking the nutritive
value of roods and suitable combina-
tions of foods were studied this year
In addition to practical class-room
work. A closing exhibit will be held
next week at which candles canned
fruits preserves jellies hot breads
of various kinds cakes salads mould.
! ed cereals served with fruits and other
articles made by the students will be
On display. About fifty popnds of
French fondant candy wore mad out-
side of class work this year and at
Christmas a ii-pound box was sent to
each member of the board of regents.
The Mophomore year work in domestic
.science Includes bread-making fruit
canning household sanitation and sim-
ple household chemistry and the jun-
ior and senior years bring the most In-
teresting studies of all correct table
service and fancy cooking and last
but far from least household manage-
ment accounts and expenditures. Next
year tho domestic science department
will have a completely equipped kitch
en and dining room. A splendid be-
ginning was made In the oratorical de-
partment this year and many applica-
tions for enrollment next year have al
ready been received so it will proba
bly le one of the largest departments.
The course in reading In this depart
ments Is required of every I. I. & C.
student. The reading class this term
had an enrollment of 19 and 1G were
enrolled In the advanced class In pub-
lic speaking. Seven students In the
latter class gave a declamatory con-
test In April in which the honors were
awarded Misses Mozello. Sumator and
RIetta Beavers. There is also a class
of 16 In this department taking spe-
cial lessons in expression. The stu-
dents under Miss McCllntlc formed the
1. 1. & C. Footlight Club under the aus-
pices of which several playB were giv-
en during the past winter. They are
also preparing to appear In two plays
next Wednesday at the I. I. & C. clos-
ing exercises. One a typically col-
lege play Is the "Frolic of the Fresh-
man." "The Hit hia or translated
from the Choctaw language "The In-
dian Harvest Dance" Is the other and
is original with Miss O'Neill and Miss
McCllntlc. It portrays with Oklahoma
life nnd Indian customs while telling
a pretty story.
There will be two studios In the new
building next year and excellent stage
facilities In the auditorium and (he
students w ill put on some good plays.
They also hoipe to bring some readers
of noie to Chickasha including 'Mrs.
Bertha Kuntz Baker of New York
America's foremost reader.
The I. I. and C. 1 the only college
in Oklahoma and one of the very few
in the United States where music is
free and over 200 pupils enrolled un-
der Miss Dunn in the musical depart-
ment. Most of these were beginners
but one talented young lady Miss
Anne White who studied under Navus
in Wichita will be given a certilcate
next year. A number of pupils come
from .neighboring tow ns each week to
take lessons from .Miss Dunn and in
her class are several married ladles.
There are forty students under Miss
Wilson in the arts department all
of whom are beginners. Studies from
life and still life were done this year
and color work will be taken up next
year. A prize will be given by Sorosls
Study Club to the pupil making the
most progress In this class.
A satisfactory year's work has also
been done in the literary classes. Tile
Latin class has finished the four books
of Caesar the French class is reading
the fourth book it has studied at sight
and the German class has made equal
progress. '
There were only eight students In
the coyjiercial department this ye'ir
but of these three are now competent
to hold positions. (Mrs. Abernethy
taught shorthand this year in addition
to her other classesand Miss McClln-
tlc Instructed the students in type
writing. Next year however the de
partment will be in charge of Prof. P.
F. Denbo of the Chickasha Business
College.
The uniform w'hica has been st t-ct
ed for the students next year Is i navy
blue coat eui: with coat of medium
length and black cap gloves and shoes
Blue ipereale waists will be worn '(.v'.tli
this every day and a blue silk waist

I have -just finished reading the
story in yesterday's paper in regard

ihe work of the present-superintendent.
The author of this was afraid to
publish his. name to the article. It
is generally believed that H. B. Aber-

In this connection the 'following
story from the Sulphur Post published

very pertinent:
Whole Family on the Pay Roll.
Recently publication was given from
an article from Chickasha to the at-
fect that President II . B. Abernethy
of the State Industrial School for Girls
at Chickasha had raised a campaign
fund among the .members of the fac-
ulty for Rev. E. D. Cameron Demo-
cratic candidate for re-election as state
superintendent of schools.
In this connection It. Is recalled that
the full extent to which Mr. H. B.
Abernethy and his family have been

State Superintendent Cameron would

to H. B. Abernethy president of the
