Great Success of Indian Education at Carlisle
and Its Cause
Of 514 living graduates of the U. S. Indian
School at Carlisle, Pa., only five have been so-
called failures; the rest have made a marked suc-
cess in various spheres of activity. The secret of
this splendid success is perhaps contained in the
following statement taken from the annual report
of the chool: “The students rise at 6 in the morn-
ing and retire at 9:30 at night, going to school
for the purpose of receiving an academic educa-
tion half of the day and working in one of the
industrial departments of the school the other
half.” -------
Inocculation to Prevent Typhoid
One of the greatest blessings . to humanity
since the discovery by Jensen of = vaccination to
prevent smallpox is the discovery of a vagcine
that will successfully conquer the much-dreaded
disease typhoid fever. The vaccination is in the
form of a serum that is injected hyperdemically
three times at intervals of ten days. There is no
pain and no sickness follows. The length of
time that a patient is immune has not been defi-
nitely determined but it is claifhed by specialists
that the person is immune for as long a period
as if the patient had had typhoid fever.
Electrified Ice
The prospect of “an ice plant in every flat’’ is
held out to New Yorkers by the New York
Edison Co. These ice machines will be run by
the ordinary lighting current and is expected to
save money both for the users and for the com-
pany as it waste current will be used at a profit.
There are three grades of cold. By turning one
switch a moderately cool temperature can be had
in the ice box. By turning the switch still
further the temperature is lowered to freezing
and a third turn will produce an arctic climate.
This can be done with little alteration to present
equipment of the power station.
Artificial Daylight
A form of vacuum tube lighting has been in-
vented by D. McMoore who declares that electric
bulb and arc lights are “simply refinements of the
torch of the primeval savage”. The light is pro-
duced by setting up electrically vibrations in
gases in long tubes arranged in compact or port-
able form. Several colors may be produced, but
the most valuable is that obtained by the use of
carbonic acid gas which reproduces average day-
light. This light is of great commercial value in
all trades that in any way depend on color, such
as dyeing establishments, print shops, photog-
raphy, etc.

During the winter months while the farm work
is light give your boys and girls a chance to
study the practical subjects that will aid them in
their work next summer and that will add to
their ambition and interest in the work. Many
boys and girls come to the A. & M. College for
one of the winter short courses. The winter term
begins January 3d and on the same day a ten
week’s practical course in Agriculture and Do-
mestic Economy opens, and special short courses
in Creamery Buttermaking and Creamery Man-
agement, Ice Cream Making and Cream Testing.
Farmers’ week is January 16 to 2i inclusive.
During this week courses will be offered to men
and boys on general farm topics, and to the
women and girls in Domestic Economy. More
than 700 farmers and their wives attended these
courses last year.
At one of the stops made by the College Live
Stock and Dairy Train a visitor said to a member
of the Board of Agriculture, “I wanted to send
my boy to the A. & M. College but did not do it
because I wanted him to have a military training,
so sent him out of the state to a military acad-
emy”. This man was very much surprised on
being informed that the Oklahoma A. & M. Col-
lege has a department of military training and
that an officer of the United States Army is de-
tailed by the War Department to give the in-
struction. The students are organized into a
cadet regiment consisting of a band and two bat-
talions of four companies each. These boys with
erect carriage in their' neat ■ uniform of gray
make a splendid appearance on the drill ground
and every citizen of Oklahoma should be proud
of the fact that it is not necessary to send their
boys to other states to secure military training
and a practical college education.
The weakest spot in every man is where he
thinks himself to be the wisest.-—Emerson.
The first time that a day was set apart for giv-
ing thanks to God for His goodness and mercy—
a day of feasting and happy communion, was in
j62i in Massachusetts. Two hundred and ninety-
nine years ago the Pilgrim Fathers sent hunters
out into the forests to kill game for a great feast.
They returned at night with waterfowl, wild tur-
key, and venison. The following day the little
band of heroes, with their invited guests, Massa-
soit and ninety of his warriors, gathered around
a great table made of rough-hewn logs, and ate
the first Thanksgiving dinner in America.
Whether or not the Pilgrims kept this custom
until the Revolution, we are not sure, but we do
know that during this war Congress recom-
mended that a day of national thanksgiving be
observed once a year. It seems, however, that
the custom was confined to New England for
many years. In 1858 eight of the Southern
States issued Thanksgiving proclamations, but it
was not until 1863 that a national proclamation
was issued. The proclamation was issued from
the White House by President Lincoln, the last
Phursday in November being designated as the
day for general thanksgiving. During that dark
period of our national«life, when the smoke of
battles darkened the noonday sun and the groans
of the dying mingled with the hiss and whistle
of shot and shell, there came from the pen of
that great stateman and Christian this reminder,
lest some forget, that a Master’s hand guides the
destiny of our country, and that there is always
sunshine after the rain.
Since that memorable year we have faithfully
kept the day—not because it is officially declared
a holiday, but because of a deep appreciation we
feel for the bountiful harvests of our fields; and
for health and happiness existing in millions of
American homes. With all that the Creator has
bestowed upon us, is it any wonder that we keep
the day; is it any wonder that our hearts turn
toward the heavens in meek devotion to “the
God of things that are"?
“For the wealth of golden harvests,
For the sunlight and the rain,
For the grandeur of the ocean,
For the mountain and the plain;
For the ever-changing seasons
And the comforts which they bring,
For Thy love, so grand, eternal,
We would thank Thee, Our King.”
The Kay County Farmers’ Institute has ap-
pointed the following members as a committee
on live stock diseases: J. B. Naylor, Blackwell,
Route No.-1; Jesse Bainum, Blackwell; Hugh
Johnson, Braman. The committee is to report
outbreaks of hog cholera, blackleg, etc,,, and as-
sist State authorities in controlling the same.
This is a good idea, and worthy of adoption by
other counties.
