In addition to these offerings the
Men and Millions Movement raised

There were n0 discordant notes sound-
ed in this great convention, at which
8,000 people sat together last Sunday
afternoon in the Communion Service.
The vision of the convention was a
"World Vision," and the spirit and
sentiment expressed was for en-
largement—the accomplishment of
greater things in the future.
norman men lose jobs.
A couple of Texas men caused eight
or ten Norman men to lose jobs one
day last week. The men from Texas
were agitators, and, dropping into
Norman, took jobs with the Strubble
& Mitchell paving company, with
j whom also the Norman men were
working. Soon they were making the
Normamtes dissatisfied with their
wages, and finally succeeded in get-
, ting them to strike for a raise
Strubble & Mitchell were already
I FTl Vf leB2l wa&e, and refused
I to be held up. The Texas men have
tfone, the oiprht or ten Norman men
i>r® °u<; of a job, and Strubble &
Mitchell have all the men thev can
use at the old wages.
How foolish some men are!

President S. D. Brooks Explains
Relation of State School to
I'eople as Whole.
Cherokee, Okla., Oct. 23.—(Special)
—"People generally seem to have
two mistaken ideas about a univer-
sity," J'resident Stratton D. Brooks
of the University of Oklahoma told
farmers ot Alfalfa county in an ad-
uress Thursday afternoon. Dr. Brooks
was the chief speaker of tljp day at
the Community Institute, held at
cherokee last week under the aus-
pices ol the Oklahoma Fanner
Stockman. He talked to citizens on
the general problems of education,
and on some of th«. activities the
state university of Oklahoma is fol-
lowing in an attempt to be of real ser
'ice t° every community in Oklahoma.
The first of these mistaken ideas,"
he said, "is that the work of a uni-
versity is limited to those pupils
fortunate to be able to spend their
time on the campus and in the class
rooms of the school. The second is
that those men and women who are
fortunate enough to be able to attend
the school spend their time in pursu-
ing studies that have little or no re-
lation to the real line of work they
will take up when they find them-
selves thrown upon their own re-
sources.
It is the business of u university,"
he said, "to forward all kinds of edu-
cation, everywhere, provided some
other agency has not been specifically
established to perform the given
work. This definition is now generally
accepted. We are attempting to fol-
low it,
In a state where we have the
initiative and referendum, it is vital
that citizens should have some means
of informing themselves on the ques-
tions ot the day. So the university
publishes bulletins, collections of in-
formation on almost every kind of
subject, and sends them out to citi-
zens free. It is important that stu-
dents in high schools study these
questions, and debate them. We have
organized a state high school debat-
ing league. The learning of the uni-
versity" just as far as possible should
be taken into rural communities of
the state. Visual instruction proves to
be the best method of doing this.
Visual instruction went to thousands
of people last year.
"Other methods for taking the uni-
versity to those who cannot come to
the campus are the holding- of short
courses for merchants and engineers
and city officials, the maintaining of
information bureaus similar to that
being maintained for the municipal
league; the sending of lectures and
musical talent to different parts of
the state, the holding of leagues, con-
ventions, etc., for the discussion of
Oklahoma problems.
"And besides this," he said,
every citizen in the state benefits
indirectly from the direct benefit
students get. When your child falls
ill of a fever, it may be a matter of
life or death to you that the physician
you call be competent. When your
property rights or personal liberty
a<;e endangered, it is vastly important
that the lawyer you hire be skillful.
When necessity sends you to a drug
storf with a prescription, it is vital
that is be compounded by a skillful
pharmacist. Even though the particu-
lar doctor or lawyer or pharmacist
you call may not be a graduate of
the University of Oklahoma, the
standards for those and other pro-
fessions are set by the state school.
So in more ways than one the uni-
versity does reach every community.
Then there is the misconception,"
he said, "that a university is only a
college of liberal arts. It is in fact a
collection of schools and colleges, each
having a specific purpose, that pur-
pose being to train men and women
to become experts in some particular
line of work, in which they can at
the same time reap benefits for them-
selves in the way of increased earn-
ing capacity and repay society for the
benefit they have received by render-
ing honest and efficient service."
President Brooks took up in detail
each school and department of the
University of Oklahoma and showed
their aims and purposes. "We have a
number of schools," he said, "the pur-
pose of which is to give specific pro-
fessional training. The school of law
is training Oklahoma boys to become
Oklahoma lawyers; the.college of en-
gineering is making a study of the
great possibilities £pr development in
this state, and in training Oklahoma
boys to take charge of that develop-
ment. The school of pharmacy is
training young.men to be first class
pharmacists, ana the demand for
university trained men is so great
that it is difficult to keep a student
until he is graduated. The school of
medicine is training Oklahoma boys
to meet the hpalth problems of this
state.

And even the college of arts and

men for specific professions, and
makes of them experts in those lines.
"Work in this department is divided
into two parts. First there is that
'finding ground,' that early work,
which gives one a foundation for al-
most any profession he or she may
wish to enter. Many students take
this who have not yet had an op-
portunity to decide what profession
they want to follow.
"After the student has completed
preliminary foundation work, he finds
waiting for him specialized training
that will prepare him, in the depart-
ment of geology to become a geolo-
gist; in the school of education to be-
come, not only an educator but an ex-
pert in some particular line of teach- ,
ing; in the s'chool of journalism to
become a newspaper man, either on
the editorial or the business side of
the game; in the chemistry depart-
ment, to become an expert chemist or
an assayist or, any one of a dozen
other things; in the school of com-
merce and industry, to become not
only well prepared to enter most any
ine of business, but to become an
expert in some particular line if he
wishes to specialize; in the home eco-

wishes to practice this knowledge her-
self or to teach it to others."

HUGHES EPIGRAMS
"America will not hold her own by
declamation."
"We should have investigation be-
fore legislation, not legislation before
investigation."
"If you go through the Democratic
pltftfonns for Hie last fifty years you
will feel as though you were walking
through a cemetery consecrated to de-
parted constitutional theories."
"I do not covet power; power
means responsibility. I do not covet
liTmors; I have enjoyed great honors,
I simply desire to serve the America*,
people."
"1 t:,i not want office simply for the
sake of holding the Job."
"We've got to get over tbe Idea that
ANYONE is good enough for a Job In
tills country."
"I want to see our public adminis-
tration an honor to American ability."
"Let our watchword be 'America
trained to do her best.'"
"When America hesitates the work'
ing man Is apt to lose Ills Job."
"The Republican party In its policy
loes not depend upon a foreign war
io save this country from disaster."
"Weakness breeds Insult; Insult"
breeds war. Honest, firm, consistent
determined defense of known rights
establishes peace and respect through-
out the world."
When Mr. Hughes criticises the rec-
ord of tbe Administration the spokes-
men of Mr. Wilson cry: "What would
you have done?" They forget that it
Is Mr. Wilson antl not Mr. Hughes
who Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr. Wilson criticised
■Mr. Taft and Mr. ltoosevelt through-
out the campaign and that Mr. Taft
mid .Mr. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records," Instead of crying
"What would you have done?" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Adminis-
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits ye shall know
them." When Mr. Hughes was Gov-
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filliug tbe public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered office. As Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
I hey diil not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not a flatterer, he
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, wb^n theefight was on theif
side.
Mr. Wilson's spokesmen seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr,
Hughes is making upon the record of
tbe Administration by asking himj
"What would you do?" they are un-
consciously helping Mr. Hughes. They
ure recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
Ills two terms as Governor of New
York. It was then that he first said
"public office shall not be a privat*
snap under my administration and
iiiude performance square with prom-
ise. There is this about Mr. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr.
Wilson: "Hughes means what ha
says." So it is that the campaign is
really a contest of character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ-
entiating and deciding factor.
