Harder to Get Money From Rich.
A fashionable dressmaker tells her
story in the December Woman's Home
Companion. She says
nils. Vincent St. John the great
leader of New York and Newport was
my first recruit from this sanctified
Rroup. Heretofore she had always gone
to Mrs. Witmark the fashionable Fifth
Avenue tlrcssinakfr. Knowing this I
was almost overcome by my triumph.
I was a made Woman.
"'Miss Flcliher' sh- commenced ab
ruptly 'I want a little afternoon frock.
What would you charge for it?'
-v'J'hat depends' replied I; 'probably
one hundred dollars.
One hundred dollars' Nonsense
my dear Mis Fletcher. Surely you
can make me something for $75. 'Ihink
of the advertising it will mean.'
' I foolishly yielded.
"Did Mrs. Vincent St.' John there-
upon go to her friends and say 'You
must patroie that wonderful little
Miss Fletcher; pay her anything she
asks.' Not at all. She said to every-
body she knew: 'Miss Fletcher will
give you a better gown than Ditmark
and don't you dare pay more than
$75 for a frock or a suit.'
"As a result I was stampeded by
the smart set. I even neglected my old
customers for the honeyed privilege of
timing out $75 gowns which it -ost
me $100 to make. Worst of all. they
refused to pay their bills in any rea-
sonable time."

be given to the board wishing to em
ploy the teacher.
M. L. I'erkins of the East Central
State normal school at Ada spoke on
"How the Student Teacher's Time for
Observation and Fractice Should be
Distributed Through the Grade."
.So many teachers wish to snei'iahre
on a certain grade and on certain
subjects" he said "when they only
take the general course given in the
state normals. ' Some of the state nor-
mals think that it is right to do thi.i
while othrYs .think that when the teach-
ers wish to specialize they should have
the Mi neral course but 'that as w ell
as this they should continue their
training into whatever branch thejf
wished to specialize in."
Advice to Specialists
This atldress was followed by a dis-
cussion by Miss Lane of the Southwest-
ern state normal at Weatherford who
claims that if the pupil's intention Is to
make teaching a life work or even if
sh does not intend such she should
take extra instruction iu whatever sub-
ject she wishes to specialize in. "Too
many try to specialise without knowing
very much about their subject except
in a general way."
This was followed by an address on
"High School and Teacher Training"
by A. C. I'arsons of Norman. Mr. Par-
sons said that the question of teachers
whe) had graduated from the state nor-
mals not wanli; to accept positions in
the country was one of the greatest
teacher problems on band. He said that
since these teachers have refused to
teach in the country the high schools
have tried to remedy the situation by
instituting a normal training course in
the high sthools. "In this wav" s.-jd
Mr. Larsons "they have fiot eliminated
he trouble but are only trying to get
the high school girls to take the posi-
tions that the notnial graduates re-
fuse." Accommodations Larking.
"The normal graduates find so many
difficulties in the country with the sys-
tem as it now is that they will not take
positions there Girls have oomplaijted
to nie that tlieie i not proper accom
modations for them. One girl com
plained to me the other rlav that where
she taught in the country there was no
place to stay except with some people
that hail only one-room house. There
were eight in the family including the
father and the mother and there was
only one room for them all to sleep in.
While the father with the children went
to bed he and the mother went for a
walk. Wlirn they came baik they had
to go to bed without a light and so on.
Of course no girl would stand for this."
Mr. Parson's solution of the problem
Is one that has been suggested before
and it is that the one-room school
house in the country should be done
away with forever. That instead there
should be one large school in a country
fiistrirt near a high school with seven
