SUPT’S LETTER
TO TEACHERS
Dear Teachers :
At the beginning of the new’
year while we are all planning
and making resolves for the fu-
ture I trust that you will make
thisayar of improvement for
yourself and one of profit for the
boys and girls I hope touchers
will take every opportunity to
fit themselves for their work and
to make this a banner school year
for Roger Mills County
Are you going away to sejiool
this year or are you going to de-
pend ou the Oouuty Normal? I
trust that you have made up
your mind to do the former
You are aware of the fact that
fully ninety per cent of our teach-
ers must have twenty weeks
training in one of the state norm-
als before 1910 because by that
time even the beginners will be
ineligible to hold a third grade
Besides you will have better op
portunities to prepare on the
uew subjects as there will be a
ten weeks term instead of four
weeks in the county Normal 1
believe you will find it far easier
to take ten weeks this coining
summer and ten the next in
stead of taking it in one contin
ous term
If we are going to have a coun
ty Normal this summer it is
very necessary that we may
know at once so that arrange-
ments may be made The ex
pense of running a normal this
year will he a third greater tha
before because of the four new
subjects added to the require
ineiits I want each teacher
who is teaching now’ or who
wishes to teach next year to
write us stating whether you
intend going away to school or
if you want a Normal Institute
J want to kuow that I may know
w hat to arrange for and also to
he informed as to tin- finances
If a sufficient number go away
so as to make a Normal unueces
eary we will have a two weeks
training course about the latter
part of' August The time will
be devoted to methods of teach-
ing the subjects taught in the
rural schxU
I desire to be governed solely
by your wishes If you want a
Normal I will do my best to have
a good one if you want to go
away to school I shall btall the
more pleased for 1 know you will
receive more benefit aud the
hoys and girls will have better
advantages
Now do uot ueglect this mat
ter hut write to me now stating
your wishes
Yours for better schools

Oklahoma Oitv OkU Jan 7
Gov Lee Uruce has issued a len-
glity resume pf the last three
years of Democratic administra-
tion of the State explaining
this pronouncement to be promp-
ted by the aproaching elections
when Oklahoma will place office
new administration again
Democratic or likewise
He speakes of some of the dif-
ficulties he has encountered in
filling his policies some of these
ohsticles teing occasioned by
officals of hisown appointment
Revewing “one of the current
charges that this administration
is constantly enlarging the pub-
lic debt” he saye A more un-
fair untruthful statement could
he made The public indebted
ness of the State of Oklahoma
has not been increased one pen-
ny since this adminstration be-
gan The P' 1 icy persued by the
State Board of JSqulization dur-
ing the present adrmnistratiorr--is
to levy a sullicent amount of
tax to meet the expence of State
government and this ha9 been
done each year since I have ben
Governor What i he people of
Oklahoma owe today they owed
three years ago aud when I
leave the office of Governor I
will be able to turn over the
reins of government to my suc-
cesor with out having increased
the public indebtedness one
farthing To do this it has been
neeesar to increase the tax
levy each year My theory of
government is that this is both
unjust aud unbusinesslike to in-
cur indebtedness aud leave these
debts for future administrations
aud generations to pay
“That there has been unneces-
sary expenditure of the people’s
funds no one familiar with true
conditions will attempt to deny
that 1 have tride to bring about
greater economy I believe my
worst enemies will concede
WINTER’S WHEAT
IS VERY GOOD
The growing condition of wint-
er w heat still shows it to be bet-
ter than for many years it be-
ing 103 per cent according to
the December report of the boar 1
of agriculture issued to day
In the principle wheat growing
countries there were never better
prospects The present cmidi
tion of the w heat compared with
the condition of the cfop last
year at the same time shows the
present to he 130 1-2 per cent
The condition of the soil mois-
ture compared with last year is
183 per cent which is better at
this time than for many years
Many reports say however that
wheat is growing rank because
of the inability to pastuer it
owing to so much moisture in
the ground
The report issued today by
T
present condition of livestock is:
Cattle 93 1 2 per cent hogs 90
1-2 percent sleep 92 2 3 and
poultry t4 Tlie number of
livestock yet iu the farmers’
hands as compared with the
same time last year is: Cattle
88 percent poultry 05 1-2 per
cent hogs 84 per cent
According to reirls that have
come iu farmers generally have
plenty ( toed to last through
the winter There is plenty of
pasturage aside from that furn-
ished hv the wheat fields and so
far the wintt-r has been mild en-
ough for the livestock to make
their living off the pastures
