mond Norm«l Notes
Norman. Okla., July #. Few ot the
residents of the territories realise the
facilities for education which are open
to the mus citizens of this gnat com-
monwealth.
After completing the common school
there *ls opm to any one the high school
somowltere in the county, «<r the unlver
slty preparatory school at Tonkawa, or
the preparatory department of the ml-
verslty at Norman. A dlpl una from any
of these schools will admit the holder
to the fri'*hinan yeor of th • A. and M
college or thu imivei.-lty wuihoiit exam-
ination.
The three rornval schools are Inter-
mediate here, they being of a higher
standurd than the high school, but a
good deal lower than either the univer-
sity or the A. and M. co|>ge. Th«tr
course cover.* approximately the work
of preparation an 1 of the freshman year
ot either of the higher Institutions.
These three normals are all weu equip-
ped and are superior to many of the
small deuomlnstlonsl schools of this and
the neighboring states.
The A. and M. college glv\s a course In
engineering which when completed Is
credited by the- bmt schools of tho cast
t i|- two in.I 011.-half to lh vc years of
their course.
Then to come to the crowning feature
of .the school system of the territory.
Ilie university Is situated at Norman,
the county seat irf Cleveland county,
seventeen miles south of Oklahoma City.
It consists of Jjst what the name sug-
gosits. a collection of colleges. Its courses
offer preparation for any vocation one
may wish. A person can graduate as
a bichelor of arts in English, history,
modern languages, or any of the other
seventeen different departments that are
open to ono In tho college of a.ns and
sciences.
The engineering scIJ&oIb are also open
to any one who is eligible to entrance to
the college. The courses offered In this
college are thoao <tn civil, electrical, me-
chanical and mining engineering. Then
the profe wion t'. aclswls, ono of which
gives the degree of pharmaceutical chem-
Iwt and tho other gives a course which
is credited for the first two years' work
In siiv of the medical schools of the
country. BMfl«h thfrftbove isenUoned
schools Which are generally the only ones
found -in a university, the State Univer-
sity of Oklahoma has'a department of
line arts which Is the superlo;' of any
conservatory of music In th© two terri-
tories.
The university Is supported by the gen-
eral funds of the territory and by the
rents of certain settool lnnd.u
The gro and* consist of sixty acres of
land 011 a slight elevation overlooking
the South Canadian river. The < ntlre
campus has been sot with trees, cheflj
elm and ash. and while these are still
young It gives every promise of being
one of the prettiest spots In Oklahoma
In a f w years.
There are <4ght buildings at present,
the university hall, the science hall, Car-
negie library, gymnasium, shops, foun-
dry, medical laboratory and hcatlns
plant.
The laboratories, especially those n

A NOVEL COMPETITION
Senator Patterson of Colorado
Has Seed Growine Scheme
For Children
Ft. Colling, Colo. July 8—One of the
most novel and interentlng contests
ever held in this countny has been
Inaugurated by W. H. OllR. pmfesw
of agronomy at the state agricultural
college here. The sum of $2,500 1m gol 1
will be distributed among the children
of the state within the next three
years, us prises for the best cereal
seed raised by the children within that
time. The contest will he known as
the "Patterson seed competition,' Sen-
ator T. M. Patterson having agreed to
provide the money for the prizes. The
competetion will be open to every boy
or girl In the state who Is under 18
years of age. Kach contestant Is re
quired to grow each year an acre of
grain, either wheat oats or barley, fro/n
which will be selected 100 heads to be
judged In cotnpetetlon by the experts
at the college. There will be ten pri-
zes awarded annually for fall wheat,
spring wheat, oats and barley, forty
prizes In all, nnd an additional forty i
prizes for the general competetlon atj
the end of the third ]TMfi
As fa ras is linown, 110 such compe- |
tition has ever been held in this coun-!
try. Prof. Olln's Idea is to encourage |
the breeding of pedigreed seed for use'
in this state and elsewhere in the west.
He maintains that se.-1 brought from
Bittern atat 1 fop uta in Coloifedo is
not acclimated and that by <saraful se-
lection and growing through three
.yetrs he can produce a seed which will
very materially Increase the output of
Colarado farms.
"My experiments have shown." Baid
Prof. Olin 'that while grain brought
from a low altitude to a high one will
deteriorate, grain taken from a high
one does not loose Its strength. It is
the same way with animals. You
bring cattle here from Texas and for
the llrst year or so they will not do so
well, while animals grown In this cli-
mate will thrive anywhere. If our
competetlon Is successful, therefore, It
will mean the building of a new indus-
try ,as well as greatly increasing the
eflclency of our hinds."
