What is a boy worth—This
question does scarcely ever enter
into.a boy's mind while it. sohool,
but it is a question or should be
a question of more than ordinary
importance and consequence to
the parents of our fair state.
Realizing this importonce he has
made ample provisions for the
equipment of the boy in the way
of an education. What is the
worth of a boy—what is his time
worth in school—what is each
day worth—these are questions
which shonld be made more clear
to him by the parents and
structors. Make him know the
value cf training and see what
fye has to do is worth the pains
bestowed on learning to do it
The life of a nation turns on
convincing every one, first, that
education can be had, and
secondly, that it is worth having
when secured. It is not too much
to assert, that the great majority
thinks truly that education at
present is a lottery and that
many think it not worth having.
The question of value is indeed
important. Every boy ought to
know the value of the work he is
set to do. Many years ago, one
spring morning, in the beautiful
Buckeye state, when the aun
shone out on the happy fields,
and touched with loving care the
gables of our log cabin, well do 1
remember how 1 saw, through a
film of tears, one of our neighbor
boys coming up the road leading
to the house, to help tap the
sugar tree", and envied him with
passionate envy; for he might
stay, he had not to go to school
as 1 had; he was not compelled.
It is easy to laugh at a child's
j sorrows, but they are very real.
That morning, more than twenty
five years ago, though many a
bitter and fierce hard year has
bean faced since, still lives in
memory as full of pain; that hour
still holds its own ss not the least
wretched of unhappy times. And
indeed in the little bounded world
of the child's life there was only
too muoh cause for the feeling,
very real grounds for that empti-
ness of heart. School means
nothing less than light-hearted
liberty gone and a prison in ex-
changed ; where every joy, which
at that time was joy, was shut
out; a prison full of blind fears,
i daily task-" It, sharp and con-
j stant checks, acoompanied by
I absolute ignorance of the "Why"
and the ''Wherefore." From
j liegining to end the whole thing
was a painful puzzle, a riddle
ed man earns $1.50 a day for
three hundred days in a year,
this will be considered fair wages
for steady employment and if he
keeps this up for forty years, he
will ha,ve earned $18000. Now
an educated man is not usually
paid by the day but by the
month or year. If we will take
an average of the earnings of
educated nen, beginning with
the highest who are R. R.
Presidents, 1 residents of Insur-
ance, Companies, Attys. Doctors
Preachers and Teachers and run
down the scale until we come to
the lower walks in point of earn-
ings among educated men, we
will see that ono thousand dol-
lars ' is'a low average for the
year's earnings of an educated
man. For forty years you have
$40000 as the earnings of the
life of an educated man. Now
we subtract $18000 from $40000
which gives a difference of
$22000 which represents the
value of a boy's time properly
spent in school. We all know
that the universal supposition is
that the laboring man puts forth
more muscular energy in a life
time than one who makes a
livelihood with his education.
Having $22000 as representing
the money value of a boy's time
spent at school. What is one day
of such time worth? So far in the
reasoning I think all will admit
the premises and is they are
true and admitted all that re-
mains to be shown is to find how
long the average boy's time is in
securing an education. In Okla-
homa he is generally supposed
to go to school from six years of
age until he oompletes the eighth
grade which will be eight years
and add six more years for a
college course we have fourteen
years, total years spent in school.
Counting fourteen years of two
hundred days each we find by
simple multiplication that the
2800 days in getting an educa-
tion equals the $22000 and a
simple division on the black-
board will bring it some to the
comprehension of every boy
that each day at school is worth
$7.85.

Delivers an Address at Ranquet ol
Guthrie Chamber ot
Commerce.
The Guthrie Leader has the
following relative to an address
delivered by Senator Colville at
the banquet given by the Guth-
rie Chrmber of Commerce:
Senator F. M. Colville of Ed-
mond, the poet laureate of the
legislature, delivered a masterly
address on his subject, "Manu-
factures in Which Oklahoma
Should Excel." The address
was deep in thought, but was in-
terspersed with with witty sto-
ries and apt quotations which,
with the speaker's eloquenoe,
charmed his hearers. He, too,
stated at the cutset that too
much time had been spent in
Oklahoma in partisan fights and
urged that more time and energy
be spent in doing some good,
old-fashioned Oklahoma boost-
ing. He dwelt at length upon
the need of manufacturing insti-
tutions in the Southwest, declar-
ing that Oklahoma today secur-
ed 90 percent of her manufac-
tured products from neighboring
states. He declared that Okla-
homa had the natural advantag-
es of the New England statea,
and that now is the time for the
state to make a united effort to
bring the factories to the unlim-
ited raw material in Oklahoma.
He highly oommended the Guth-
rie chamber of commerce in put-
ting forth its best efforts in se-
curing such institutions. He
urged that all the commercial
organizations and newspapers of
the state put forth such efforts
and pull together for the Greater
Oklahoma, and thus prove to the
Nation that the new state is not
only a rich agricultural empire
with bountiful resources but a
great manufacturing state aa
well.
The speaker declared that Ok-
lahoma had the three essontial
requisites for a factory state,
namely, raw material, cheap fu-
el, and business men with brains
that know how to do things. He
declared that with our oil, gas
and water power and other nat-
ural advantages for factory pur-
poses once well advertised, fac-
tory men would be coming Okla-
homaward soon.
He assigned the following rea-
sons why the industries had not
flourished rhore in Oklahoma
than they have: That Oklahoma
is supposed to be the land of the
Indians by Easterners and our
resources are not known; that
eastern Bide of the stale was
handicapprd by Federal red tape
rule; that Oklahoma individuals
had but little money to start
such institutions; that extortin-
ate freight rates under territori-
rule was a severe handicap as
they strangled the infant indus-
tries.
The senator, with all the elo-
quence at his command and for-
cible delivery of the trained pul-
pit orator that he is, made a he-
roio defense of the Oklahoma
corporation laws, with a strong
denunciation of the reoent Fed-
eral interference in the trans-
portation problem and trying to
take away what the state has
done in two years and a halt to
better these conditions, declar-
ing that "Oklahoma will forge <0
the front and work out this man-
ufacturing problem, if they will
only let us alone.
