An Accredited High School
While the work given in the Garber
High School has, in the past, been of
the t:igtjest rank, the need of being on
the accredited list, is especially felt by
the student, who enters college and
university for the lirst time It gives
him confidence to Know that his work
in the home school will give him
creiit. So, aside from the special re
quirements of each institution, he
can take up his work where he laid
it down and go forwar i.
What is an accredited school? It is
a high school in which all the work
given measures up to a definite stand-
ard of excellence, which can only be
attained under certain conditions. It
follows that if these be fu filled, that
a staiement from the school authori-
ties is taken at face value by the fac-
ulties of the State University, Normal
schools, colleges and accredited High
schools. Not only is the work the
best preparation for college, but it has
been ound to be the best for the stu
dent's life work.
The requirements for application are
as follows:
1. A unit shall be understood as a
subject with proper class preparation
with a recitation period with not less
than forty minutes, live times per week
for thirty-six weeks.
2. Only extraordinary pupils may
be permitted to carry more than four
units in one year, and in any case live
units shall be the maximum.
3. There shall be one teacher to de
vote his entire time to the high school
where one full year ;s give", two
where two years are offered, three,
where three years are offered, and four
or more where a full four year's course
is given. In some instances, where
the attendance is very small and high
standards adhered to, upon recom-
mendation of the high school lrispec
tor, schools may be accredited with a
smaller number of teachers.
4. Teachers should not be required
to instruct more than tix periods or
classes per day,
5. Each school must offer a nine
mouths term.
ti. The labratory and library equipt-
ments must be sufficiently extensive
to do the work offered.
7. A high school teacher must be a
graduate of a University, a good col-
lege, a State normal school or the
holder of a State high school certifi-
cate, valid In this state!
8. No school can have its 9th grade
accredited unless it employs three
teachers, except in some instances,
where the number of students in at-
tendance is very small.
While tl'.e above requirements may
seem unsual and inflexible, yet it has
been the experience of many years
that under the required conditions
can gond work be done. Pupils and
teachers with ambitiou are apt to take
full!
more work than they can do well. We
of Garber, are quite certain we can
meet enough of tli m to be placed on
ithe accredited list, falling short only
in length ot school year, number of
teachers in high school and nurnbe,- of
recitations per day. However, the
matter will be decided when Mr, Par-
sons, the high scnool visitor, calls on
us, as he has promised sometime dur-
ing the next school year.

The Fire at Hunter.
Hunter, a village of 350 population,
fourteen miles north west of Garber,
suffered a tire Sunday morning which
burned a row of buildings on the east
side cf mein street. The following
account is taken from the Euid Morn
ing News:
The Enid fire department received
a call for help from Hunter early Sun-
day morning which they were unable
to answer on account of the distance
and the length ot time necessary to
reach that place. Hunter was abso-
lutely without water and fought a
•$10,000 fire with chemicals only. The
fire originated about 4 a. m. and
spread rapidly, burning out an entire
row of frame buildings.
The buildings owned by the Bank
of Hunter, valued at 81,500, no insur-
ance; E.I .(Jroom, 82,000, no insurance;
M. C. Race, $2,500, no insurance; A.
M. Morrison, $1000, no insurance; J.P
Cochran $500, no Insurance; the build-
ings occupied by Hedges Bros, gro-
cery aud meat market,loss $500; Chas.
Grow,barber shop, uo loss; Mrs. Uroom,
millinery store, loss $200; B. House
poultry and produce company, loss
$1000; Hunter restaurant, loss $490,
covered by insurance; Jack Burch-
field's barber 8 hop, loss $100; postof-
fice, no loss; Dr. Newell's office build-
ing, Hunter Enterprise aud the Smith
drug store in direct line of the tire,
«ere saved by the energetic work of
the citizens.
It is thought that all buildings will
be replaced by brick structures l'he
origin of the fire is unknown.
Rain
A three and a half inch rain fell
here Tuesday afternoon in about an
hour, but it was only local extending
about a mile east and a few mile3
west. However light show rs visited
most sections of the community.
Monday was coul and cloudy ,".nd a
light shower fell and Tuesday the
cloudiness increased and showers
could be seen in every direction. The
rain here was most welcome hideed.
The long general drought of over
' wo months is broken as it's shower-
ing all over Oklahoma, Kansas and
Missouri. General rains will likely
follow soou.
Later—Wednesday evening as we
go to press another h irdjrain is falling
which looks to be quite general.
Car of Autos
G. H. Ebert had a car of Metz auto-
mobiles arrive Wednesday shipped
direct from the factory at Walthani,
Mass. The Metz are small, neat, hut
powerful cars and especially adapted
to country roads. There were four
autos in the car.
A 1000 Mile Trip
l'red .lansseu and family returned
Saturday iu their Ford automobile j i
from their thouasnd mile trip to Iowa "
and Nebraska I hey kept account ot i |
the expense of the car on the trip i I
going winch amounted t o $4 35 !
While gone they ran about liftetUj'
hundred miles. Gus Meyers, who ac- j
companied them in the car to Iowa,'
got homesick and returned home on |
the, train about u week before they I j
returned, they report a pleasant trip. (
EVERY FARMER
As well as every business man should
have a bank account.

WHY?
BECAUSE:
Col. Sager had some wheat planted
before the rain Tuesday.
A farmer was in from Black Hear
creek Saturday telling around that
there was as much oil in the creek as
water. The creek was dry.
School Opens Monday j
The Garber school opens Monday | ,
and we trust with a large einollment. I'
Wd have competent instructors, teach- j
eis who take a deep interest in the |
work. The fact that most likely our i
high school will be recognized and
credft given for work done here should
bring many pupils who are intending '
to go away to school. The saving in
expenses in attending the Garber
school is no small item, especially this
year.
Since we printed Deck Barnes' story ]
about the four inch rain—the drops j
four inches *part, we notice iu the j
papers of similar rains iu Pawhuska
and Enid.

People in a neighboring town are
beginning to realize that they should
pay for their printing the same as
they pay for their groceries.
Bud Cassody says that a good show>
ar tell at his ulace Monday. His neigh-
bor, John Porter had just started
plowing. Between three and four
inches of waterfall.
During the rain Tuesday afternoon
lightning struck here iu town so close
to the residence of Louis Lippert that
a window in the east side cf the bouse
was broken.
Deck Barnes Is still trying to get u
Into trouble. Now we don't like
trouble, having mixed up with it once*
or twice too often and wa're rather
small. Deck has a story on oue of
his neighbors that he thought we
oupht to publish but it seems a little
unreasonable to us and rnig ht justify
us being whipped. This neighbor, as
the story goes, is planning togo to
Arkansas, hunt up a spring in the
shade of a big elm tree, iie down in
the shade and run a hose from the
spring to his mouth. Now if he was
going to put a keg iu the spring to
cool and run a hose from the keg to
his month it would seem more sen-
sible aud we would give the neighbo r's
name.

Kent & Carter's
T|-| nHempt of the United States Govt, to prepare her army
jtand navy for war by sending them into Texas in time of
peace was like the farmer who makes plans and buys his
machinery before he is ready to sow his grain. The consensus of
opinion is that the farmer who plows his ground with OLIVER plows;
prepares his seed bed with OLIVER harrows; sows his wheat with
SUPERIOR drills is the lad who shows the best growing crops and
the biggest bank roll at the close of the year. After marketing his
his crops in a MIICHELL wagon he is ready to buy a Ford, or an
Emerson, for the pleasure and conveince of himself and family.
