Do You Need a Pilot?
Every young nam and every young
woman entering the business world
needs a pilot—a knowledge of hook-
keeping. shorthand and typewriting,
<ir telegraphy. Such a training is
ample capital and a safe pilot when
netting sail on the teinpertuous sea
of business. Many have embarked
without this knowledge, and derel-
icts have heen cast ashore. Secure
a 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
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
o. successful men and women, and
it will do the same for you. It's
away ahead of all others in every-
thing. Modem 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 schools. :f'.i().(H) life schol-
arships iu bookkeeping, or in
shorthand and typewriting, are

Addresses Teachers' Asso.
It was with gratitude that the
teachers and school officials of
Cleveland county, under the wise
management of.-County Superinten-
dent I>. R. McDonald, were priv-
ileged to meet State Superinten-
dent K. I). Cameron at the county
court house in Norman, last Tues-
day evening .and listen for one
hour and fifteen minutes to his el-
evating council, consisting of ex-
perience, eulogies and rich advice.
Mr. Cameron made a strong plea
I for district consolidation and we are
I convinced that if the representa-
tives of the rural districts could
have heard his convincing argu-
ments favoring this next great edu-
cational step in the new state, they
would have gone home determined
to adopt\this plan.
lie also showed that Oklahoma
has accomplished, educationally, in
one year, what the other states have
heen twenty years in doing.
His advice to teachers and par-
ents was to prepare the hoys and
girls of our state for service, "get
them ready to do something he-
sides nursing poodle-dogs," and
| that the state has more use for
I bookkeepers and mothers than so-
ciety \v< inien. .
He exaulted the leaching profes-
| sion. recommending higher degrees
| of proficiency and better wages.
| 1 le eulogized the old maid teacher
saying, "Although her work here
\va* not appreciated, not sullieient-
ly compensated, that her final rc-
| ward would lv a crown of glory."
| lie showed that the wealth of
I this country was in the hoys ami
I girls, and that the hoys and girls
j inu>t he prepared to lill all the
; function- ll the counties, the states
I and the nation.
lie plea to ttn' school hoards
I wa-'to lie mi re concerned about
tlie schools and tie school work,
and thrtt they arc the most impor-
tant factors in a great system upon
which our slate is founded, and al-
though they receive nothing for ser-
vice hut the satisfaction of being
instrumental iu bringing a successful
life to the buys 1114>I girls of his
! neighborhood, and that this alone
! should be a great stimuli and is
worthy of high commendation.
This was a great oratorical feast
| for teachers, school ollicers and all
present, as all received a great edu-
cational inspiration and left the
auditorium more determined to
i do their dutv.
