SOME PCBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS
The board of education for
public schools of Edmond
made a good beginning Mon-
day night in the election of its
officers and the selection of
Prof. Allen for superintendent
for the coming year. Prof.
Allen is an experienced teacher,
is a graduate of the Normal
school here, and has given uni-
veral satisfaction during the
ysar now drawing to a close.
He has been ably assisted by a
corps of competent teacherB
and the public schools of Ed-
mond are today in splendid
condition and this excellence
should be maintained.
Flavor of Vanilla and Chocolate Mo*t
In Favor.
TI e_e is considerable discus
sion over the proposition of
erecting a new school building
for the west side. The board
at its meeting Monday night
adopted a resolution, asking
the mayor to call a special elec-
tion to vote bonds inthe-sum
of iK>(X)0 to erect a new build-
ing. There is no question but
the residents on the west side
of the Santa Fe tracks are en-
titled to school building in that
portion of the city. The only
proposition relates to its size
and to the number of grades
which should be taught. S.>me
who reside on the west side are
of the opinion that all eight
grad«H should be taught, while
ther9 are others who believe
that there is no necessity ot
doubling up the teaching force
above the fourth irrade.
One of the principal reason1-
why a school building should
be erected on the west side is
to give the pupils an opportu-
nity of attending school with-
out endangering their lives.
However, many believe that
after the pupil has passed th
fourth grade, he should be en-
abled to guard against such
danger. Doubtles these mat-
ters will all be thoroughly dis-
cussed and some satisfactory
conclusion reached before the
question is submitted to tht
voters.

FRENCH STYLES IN SALADS.
After a desperate hand-to-band
fight, in which be took Patrolman
William Mclver's club away from
him, Clifton .Mays, a well-to-do freed-
man cattle raiser of Purcell, Okla.,
was shot and instantly killed by Mc-
Iver in the men's smoking apartments
of the Santa Fe passenger depot at
Oklahoma City about b o'clock Satur-
day night.
TKN V KAILS AGO.
It was just ten years a go last
Friday, May 1, 1898, that Ad-
miral Dewey entered Manila
bay, to "capture or sink"
the Spanish fleet, as his orders
read. This was the first rrnval
battle of the Hpanish-Ameri
can war and its result made tin
American people uproariously
jubilant, astonished the mili-
tary powers of the world, made
the United States a world-
power, all in the space of a few
hours. It was the grates), vie
tory since tho beginning ol
time and, no such a victory will
ever b>} ie!ordod, for it
must be remembered that six
Am mean battleships entered
the mined and fortified bay ol
the enemy, destroyed 10 buttl -
ships, claimed by many to bt
superior to the American ship"
with alleged superior seaman,
and in a few hours swept Hi*
waters of Manila bay of tin
Spanish fleet and silenced the
land batteries, and this without
the loss of a single life. But
this is not all! A couple of
Care In Preparation of Ingredients Will
Be Well Repaid.
To make a salad of cooked vege-
tables such a3 the best French cooks
turn out takes great care In cooking
and cutting up the Ingredients. House-
keepers are too apt to do such work
with a careless hand. It seems In-
credible, but even In this day of ad
vanced salad making there Is now
and then a housewife who will use her
chopping bowl or rnaat grinder In the
preparation of what Bfce is pleased to
call a salad. Tho vegetables should
all be cooked separately In salted
water until they are tender, but not
soft enough to crumble. It Is better
to cut them up before cooking. Drain
them thoroughly. Turn the vegetables
together while hot and moisten them
with oil and vinegar. It Is an excel-
lent Idea to have one or two kinds
of savory vinegars such as tarragon
and nasturtium on hand to give va-
riety, and one of these may be used
In the marinade. Before dressing
for the table, drain off all the liquid
carefully, toss the vegetables together
and dress with oil and vinegar or may-
onnaise.
