the remark: "My boy would never

doesn't ne*>d a hitfh bool education."
Since the coHeg-e and the unlverally

the educational problems, of th<* age is.

All progressive teachers everywhere,
nowadays, are stressing the importance

Tf this l>e the correct theory, again
tthe question: How chilli we get the
boys ainti girls into uhe high school?
The feature of this question with
I have particularly to deal today, Is the
system of common school graduation
•which is now In vogue in Oklahoma and
n number of other states and territor-
ies.
When t'he graded course of study for
the country was adopted several years
«g.>, the Territorial board also pro-
vided for tjie grant intg of a diploma up-
on the completion of the common school
course. One of the purposes of the
diploma was iU> stimulate the boy or
#rirl to complete all the subjects pres-
cribed in the common school course.
(Has It served Its purpose in this res-
pect? I grant tt without discussion.
II believe tho territorial ln ard Is doing
a great thintf for the country pupil by
giving him some sort of a testimonial
of scholarship, upon completion of the
course which It. has laid down. Hut an-
other purpose of the diploma is to cre-
ate in the pupil an ambition to con-
tinue his studies above .the common
branches. But Is it an Incentive to
higher educational work; or does it in
many instances tend to influence the

luugs aud giving them power to throw

Territorial Superintendent Hopkins,
in ^peaking of ithe grammar sehool
graduation In his last bi-ennial report
saya: "Itut the crowning feat of the
common school course is yet to be told.

he may gain. It awakens his interest! l.° t,IU V1'!." 1
and he determines to complete the
course, and so make better application
of his time. . . Graduation from the
common school has proven a success in
Oklahoma and will be continued."
I do not desire to question authority
of this high source, and Indeed, I
heartily agree that the diploma has
been an Incentive to many a country
l>oy to complete the course, yet T be
