1908
A New Institution for Tulsa
Cross-'Anchor School to be Located Five Miles
West of Tulsa on the Katy R. R.-^Local
Capital is Back of the Enterprise
The Gross-Anchor Industrial
School will be erected on an eigh-
ty acre farm located five miles
west of town and one-half mile
from the Katy railroad. This
tract has been donated by Charles
Page.
The officers or trustees are
Joseph N. Long and Mrs. Ella
Long. Dr. Fred S. Clinton. Rev.
Alfred F. Smith, pastor of the M,
E. church South. D. M. Martindale
The purpose of this institution
iis the erection of sufficient build-
ings to care for and give a com-
mon school education to minor
boys and girls from neglected
homes. This means neglected
children, children whose parents
do not properly feed and clothe
them and who fail to give them
the proper moral and mental train-
ing- It also includes the abandon
ed child—the child absolutely left
to the mercies of the world by
parents or guardians, and the in-
corrigible child who under the age
of fourteen has committed minor
offences and is badly in need of
reformatioq. This institution will
take these children from one to
fourteen years of age and give
them a home, a common school
education, and as far as possible
during the time they are assigned
’ to the institution, fit them for the
• professional and idustrial life.
The uppermost aim will be mor-
al training, making these children
honest, virtuous and useful citi-
zens, which together with the edu-
cational, professional and industri-
al teaching will fit them for noble
vocations in life.

Tulsa this week in the interest of
his school. Mr. Bruce states that
the school will open on October
5th. and that the state has under- j
taken to provide for the school.
This school has been one of the
beneficent institutions of former
Indian Territory, for many years,
and deserves the most liberal co-
operation on the part of the state.
The nucleus of a futu re great in
stitution of our ever greater state,
is here, and Oklahoma with her

I usual vim comes to its assiatance
i in a manner most effective.
The benefit of this school to our
state, is almost incalculable, and
while the pupils will not be numer-
ous. they should have the greatest

The Coroner's jury in the Cul-
pepper-West killing affray, found
some startling feature in the case
during their inquiry. It appears
that both men were fighters, and
neither would weaken in the quar-
rel. Webb was a drinking man
and very quarlsome when intoxi-
cated. while Culpepper bears the
name of being sober and peacea-
ble in habits. Webb appears to
have been the aggressor, in that
he sought out his opponent, and
came to Culpepper's store with
tn= _ w.ved intention of "doing
him." The killing was the final
result of a fight the two men had
engaged in the day before, when
Culpepper stopped Webb from
beating a boy.

TEN REASONS IN FAVOR OF ATTENDING
This New and Progressive Institution of Learning.
1 Its New Buildings are unexcelled in ireaut.v and convenience. They
are up-to-date and as good as modern science can make them.
2. The equipment is first class in every particular.
Tin* Ease of Access and the healthfulness of the city in which locat-
ed. The attractiveness of its homes, its l>eautiful churches, its entei-
prising newspapers, its wide-awake citizens, its social and educational
snii it combine to make it a desirable home for a modern College.
4 Tiie Splendid Courses offered in the schools, giving the student a
rare opportunity to strengthen his general culture or to fit himself for
some definite work.
5 The Hare Opportunities offered for special studies in the Academy
and in the College departments. The Academy offers full courses pre-
paring for the entrance of all the schools of the College. See the cata
logue which will be sent on application.
I! The Character of the faculty at once commends attention. In
scholarship and experience it ranks with those of the l>est colleges of the
West The heads of the departments come in direct personal contact
with the students and classes, which is always a great gain.
7 The Spirit of the Student body is wholesome and stimulating.
The spur of active competition with bright students in the classes and in
the different organizations of the college, whether in the Acadamy or col-
lege departments, counts much in making up the true estimate of a college.
8. It is Co-educational, an organization which lias been approved and
H adopted bv nearly all of the colleges, great and small, established in this
H country in the list fifty years, as well as by many of the older dolleges.
The association of voung men and women in class and laboratory work
develops intellectual activities and traits of character more comprehen-
sive and more desirable than in other institutions.
9 The Expenses are lower than at colleges offering similar facilities
elsewhere and every effort is made to keep them within the .-each of stu-
dents of average means. Many young men and women may find employ-
ment, enabling them to meet part of their expenses,
r io. This College stands for all that is liest in
’ high rank with the sister colleges of the country,
