Do You Need a Pilot?
i-Jv. ry young man and every voting
woman entering the businesi world
needs a pilot—a knowledge of book-
keeping, shorthand and typewriting,
or telegraphy. Such a training is
ample capital and a safe pilot when
setting sail on the tempertuous sea
of business. Many have embarked
without this knowledge, and derel-
icts have been cast ashore. Secure
si knowledge of the laws and cus-
toms of business, combine it with a
knowledge of bookkeeping, short-
hand and typewriting, and you will
have a safe'' pilot that can weather j
the storms and avoid the dangers
and whirlpools of financial wreck
and ruin, and steer you into the
harbor of independence and success.
Hill's Business College, one of the
leading business colleges of Ameri-
ca has been the pilot of thousands
of successful men and women, and
it will do the same for you. It's
away ahead of all others in every-
thing. Modern Shorthand, our new
system of shorthand, can be learned
in one-half the time required to
learn other systems. You can learn
more bookkeeping with us in four
months than you can in six months
in most si bonis. ijiiiii.00 lit- schol-
arships in bookkeeping, or in
shorthand and typewriting, are
only $42.50. $100 life scholarships
in business, shorthand and type-
priting, are now $7">. $.")0 life schol-
arships in telegraphy and station
work are $34. Mail course in short-
hand $'20. Come ni w while the

In the history of events great

hands and predominating in all
their beings. So the people of Ok-

'Oklahoma was at first the home
of the Indians; the Choctaw-. Chero-
kees. Cheyenne, Creeks and Semi-
noles; it was known as Indian Ter-
ritory, and their title to it was to
continue as long as grass grows and
water runs; but today the white-
man owns and controls the larger
part of this domain. What does
this mean? It means that the na-
tural resources of this fertile region

ground for the Indians. God in his
wisdom saw tit to endow this coun-

to man, in every station of life.

The principle held by Co. Supt.
B. 1!. McDonald that if you would
succeed as a teacher you must show
your sympathy with the work at-
tending the County Institute or
some other Normal school* where
you can obtain professional train-
ing. by attending the County]
Teachers' Meetings which are held
from time to time throughout the
yi ar and by doing your part in the
great work which as teachers we
must do in order to remain in the
steady march of educational pro-
gress, is one which every teacher is
coming to realize more forcibly, as
our enrollment and the interest
in the work at this time shows.
Ex-County Superintendent F. B.
Swank was among the several cal-
lers of last week.
Dr. Brewer, State High School
Inspector, was one of our visitors
this week.
Rev. L. N. Linebaugh, of the
Board of Regents of the State Uni-
versity, addressed the teachers at
their general exercise period Wed-
n< sday morning. We appreciate
the interest shown by the members
of the board of Regents in our
work.
June 22 is the date set for the
meeting of the County School Of-
ficer's Association. State Superin-
tendent E. D. Cameron will also be
with us at that time. The teachers
will be glad to welcome the direct-
ors of the county and the state sup-
erintendent and have them inspect
the work they are doing.

mate its po-sibilities from a com-
mercial standpoint.

es remain
of Oklahoma
but its future
to be knrtwn.
Napoleon dreamed of an
empire by conquest, and in the rea-
lization of his ambition moved from
one success to another until the
world regarded him as the greatest
general in history; a- Washington
conceived of a free and indepen-
dent nation, and today the Uuited
States is the proud monument of
of his conception: so the people of
Oklahoma have not only I'orseen,
but by their matchless efforts have
built tip a state that is not only the
erystalized experience of America's
eighty million people, but the
thought of the liest citizens of the
states.
There are great possibilities in
the future for Oklahoma. Its soil
is fertile and well watered, its geo-
graphical location, its elevation to-
gether with its diversity of climate
are such that there are but few sec-
tions of the United States where
such a variety of crops can be suc-
cessfully grown. Its grazing grounds
furnish the basis for an important
and profitable industry. Its schools,
colleges and universities reflect cred-
it on its people. But those who en-
dure the trials of the early day
teacher, struggled hard to lay tin
foundation for the present efficient
school system. An evolution has
been accomplished in twenty years
covering a field of endeavor, equal
to the work done along this line in
other states, during fifty, seventy-
five and even or.c hundred years.
If equally rapid strides are made
in the future as in the past, the
sippi.
Oklahoma is gathering moment-
um under the whip and spur of
electricity and steam, the growth of!
which bar enriched our civilization j
and elevated the standard of living •
among our people. We seem to
h ive taken our conception of vast-;
ness from the horizon of our prai-
ries, though the eastern plodders!
can -carcely believe the story of
our c.inquests of nature's resources,
yet we know it is true and not fic-
tion and will grow in interest as it j
becomes more and more a part of
the wonderful history of our nation.,
