Indian Territory Teachers Meet In
Annual Session
ARDMORE: The annual meeting
of the Indian Teritory Teachers' asso-
ciation convened here. The first
day's session was attended by a largo
number of leading educators.
The meeting was called to order by
Prof. Beck of Tishomingo, the presi-
dent of the association. The address
of welcome was delivered by the Rev.
Weith. The response was by Prof.
Tristler of Holdenville. The conven-
tion elected Miss Fryer of Holden-
ville secretary pro tem.
The convention expressed the hope
that congress will improve the school
situation in this territory by making
a sufficient appropriation for the edu-
cation of a large number of children.
President Boyd of the University of
Oklahoma addressed the teachers at
the Methodist church.
Teachers are here from all parts of
the Indian Territory. The school
problem is one of much concern to
the citizens of the territory.
Speaking of the school work in tho
Chickasaw nation. Prof. George Beck,
supervisor of schools, said:
"Of the $100,000 appropriated by
congress for the support of schools In
Indian Territory, one-fourth has been
appropriated to the Chickasaw and
Seminole nations. This is the first
school fund that Indian Territory has
over had appropriated, and the work
of organization has had to be done
entirely from September, which has
entailed a vast amount of work and
some little delay. All the money will
be used for the support of schools in
isolated rural districts, where free
schools have never been known be-
fore. The teachers employed under
me are paid from $35 to $50 per
month, and in many instances this
(.mount is being supplemented by
from $15 to $25 by the patrons of
the schools.
"Conditions in the Chickasaw na-
tion are different from other nations.
The Cherokees, Creeks and Choctaws
have accepted a plan of eo-operation
by which the Indian and white pupils
attend the same school, and the ap-
propriations of the Indian govern-
ment and of the United States gov-
ernment are used jointly in the pay-
ment of teachers, while in tha Chicki-
saw nation the Indians have stub-
bornly refused to co-operate. They
maintain that such co-operation with
the whites is prohibited by statutory
law. but during the recent session of
the Chickasaw legislature no effort
was made to amend the law. The
Chickasaw schools remain exclusive,
although Chickasaw children are al-
lowed to attend other schools, for
which the tribal government allows
the sum of $12.50 per month.
"There are in the Chickasaw nation
almost one hundred free schools, and
the grade work that is being done is
very commendable. The next ses-
sion of congress will be asked to ap-
propriate a half million dollars for
the support of public schools in In-
dian Territory, and in my Judgment
every penny of it could be used ju-
diciously."
Without exception, educators say
the school system in the incorporated
towns is almost perfect, and that it
will compare favorably with any in
the United States. Nearly every in-
corporated town has built model
school buildings, and the facilities
?qnal those anywhere. It is in the
country districts where schools are
nepded, and where therp has been
much complaint by the people be-
cause of the neglect of congress in
providing for them.
Following are the officers elected:
President. J. G. Masters of Jones
acalemy, Choctaw naticn: first vice
nresidrnt. W. O. Harris, Sulphur; sec-
ond vice president. Bru.'e McKiniey,
Eufaula- secretary, Mir.s Alice Fryer,
Holdenville: treasurer. Miss Meta

nation. The executive committee
will set the time and decide upon

THE RECENT BLIZZARD WAS UN*
USUALLY SEVERE
STORM IS GENERAL OVER UNITED STATES
Tho Area Covered Is From the Rock-
ies to the Atlantic—Traffic Sus-
pended in Many r* ->ces—A Furious
Gale Accompani ie Storm
CHICAGO: One of the severest
storms of recent years extended
throughout the territory lying be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
great lakes, and much trouble has
been caused to railway, street rail-
road, telegraph and telephone com-
pnaies. •
The telegraph and telephone com-
panies were the greatest sufferers,
for the blizzard which swept through
the west and northwest was preceded
by a heavy fog and drizzling rain,
which made the wires almost useless.
The intense cold and terrific gale
that followed the fog coated the wires
with ice and later threw poles to the
ground, crippling the service badly.
Railway trains have been delayed
throughout the west, some of them be-
ing twenty-four hours late. Street
car traffic in all the cities of the
west and northwest was practically
abandoned.
In its extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last fif-
teen years. Counting the fog as a
component part of the storm, it ex-
tended from the Rocky mountains to
New York, and from Winnipeg to New
Orleans.
Reports from Kansas City are that
the storm extended from the middle
of Missouri as far south as Indian
Territory, and was accompanied
throughout its entire extent by high
winds and snow, which on the level
would have been about one foot deep.
It was drifted so badly by the gale,
however, that In nearly all the cities
of Nebraska, Kansas and western Mis-
souri street car traffic was at a stand-
still. The telegraph wires were down
in all directions, and it was with ex-
treme difficulty that communication
with the west and northwest was kept
up. All trains through that country
were hopelessly behind schedule time
and the railway managers gave up
attempting to get them through on
time, and devoted their energy to
moving them in the best manner pos-
sible.
At Omaha and Des Moines condi-
tions similar to those in Kansas City
wern reported, and both placcs were
in bad condition.
I i the northwest the storm was
even more severe than throughout
any other section. At St. Paul snow
was falling and was accompanicd by
i high wind. The storm reached
westward from St. Paul until it em-
braced almost the entire northwest
from the Dakotas. eastern Montana,
Wyoming, northern Michigan and
Wisconsin. The wires in all direc-
tions are down, the snow falling in
dense volumes and driven by a high
northwest gale, was filling the streets
and railroad cuts so tightly that
street cars were almost compelled to
stop running, and all trains were far
behind time.
In the south conditions were some-
what better, the snow in many places
being changcd to a heavy rainfall,
preceded by thunder and lightning
and followed by high winds. Nash-
ville, Louisville, New Orleans, Mont-
gomery and Memphis all reported ex-
ceedingly heavy rains, a rapidly fall-
ing thermometer and traffic winds.
In the Ohio river valley the first
heavy rain in five months W2s had.
The storm wts appreciated by the
boatmen along the Ohio and its tribu-
taries, for the stage of water In those
streams has of late been very lotf,
and navigation was difficult in many
piaces.
