PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPEN SEPT. 15.
YV. Z. Smith, Superintendent,
Shows What Is Required
of the I'npil, the Parent
and the Teacher.
To TBS StHtRiL PaTRoNS:
The Hobart public schools will
open September 15 and continue
nine months.
The slauding of 11 city :ini<>ng
The various cities and towns of tlio
states and territories depends to
quite an extent upon the condi-
tion of the schools of that city
One of the tirst questions asked by
those desiring to locate in a new
town is concerning the condition
of her schools. If the schools
have a good standing, a standing
for a high grade of instruction
and a wholesome "moral con
science,*' or in other words "agood
school town," the chances are
that the enquirer will decide to
cast lots with such a people
The teaching force are supposed
to furnish the high grade of in-
struction, but the patrons are re-
sponsible, in a very great degree,
for the school sentiment. With-
out the co-operation and hearty
support of the patrons it is im-
possible for the teachers to build
up a wholesome school seutiment.
These are some of the ways in
which patrons can assist the
teachers in doing ihe most possi-
ble for the youth for the city.
First and and above all, see that
your child enters school the first
day and is in his seat every day
until the close. It i« the
business of the teacher to as-
sist the family and church to
lay the foundation and to build
a noble character for every boy
and girl under her charge. Her
time for this important work, if
the child is in school every day
is short. When one stops to con-
sider that the child is with the
' teacher but five hours of the
twenty-four for five days of the
week for thirty-six yeeks of the
year, he sees that this is only too
true.
If you would have your child
become interested in his school
work, see that he has an oppor-
tunity to be in schopl every day.
If he remains out a third or half
the time, he does not understand
the work when he is present. If
you desire to blight the child's in-
terest in school ask him to work
at something that has no light for
him. Every on« likes the sub-
jects he understands the best.
Second, see that your child has
all the necessary books and sup-
plies. Iq some cases, it may seem
that the demands for such are a
little heavy. If, on the other
hnud, we consider that our child's
progress in school depends upon
these, the domands do *not seem
unreasonable.
Third, assist your child in every
way possible. There is now a
very complete course of study in
the hands of the printer. This
course shows the work to be done
by the ohild in the eight common
school years. It is to be hoped
that a copy of this course, when
printed, may find its way into
every home. By the use of this
course the parents may know just
what is expected of their children
to. pass from one grade to the next
higher. We all desire to see our
children "get on in school."
Fourth, teach your children to
be loyal to their teacher Teach-
ers are human; they make mis-
takes. We are ready to excuse
mistakes on the part of other
classes uf people, why not in the
teacher. If any trouble should
arise bet ween your child and the
teacher, listen to the child's state-
ment, but withhold your judgment
until you have heard the teacher's
statement. Whatever you do,
don't condemn the teacher in the
presence of your child. You are
laying the foundations in your
child to op|>ose authority.
Wo hope those points will be
duly considered by every parent.
The teachars have your child's
welfare at heart. They desire to
help hi in all they possibly can.
I he Hobait schools are in Splen-
did condition i.> tM Kiu with. The
addition of three teachers, a good
uniform course of Btuny, a new
eight-room building to go into iu
a short time and the sympathy of
the patrous and general public
must naturally put us on a par
with any school in the territory.
Let us be able to truly say. "Our
public scln ■ l> the pride of our
city."
To thi. Pupils:
All pupils who ditl not remain in
school until the close last spring
•aid who did not t.iko the filial ox-i
tttuiuution will ue required lo take
an examination iioiore ^oiiig int
the next higher grade. For in-
stance, if you were in the sixth
grade last year and desire to enter
the seventh grade this fall, you
will be required to take an exaini
nation
All students who have never
been in<the Hobart public schools
will be required to take an exami-
nation to assist the teacher id
properly classifying you.
These examinations will be held
Friday, Sept. 12, beginning at 8
a. in
All pupils desiring to enter the
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades, and the first year high
school will go to the north school
building the morning of the above
named date-
All pupils desiring to enter the
third and fourth grades will go to
the south school building the
morning of the above named
date.
All pupils taking this examina-
tion should take their report cards
with them the morning of the ex-
amination.
This examination is to be taken
by the two classes of pupils men-
tioned above. , Those entering the
first and second grades will not
take the examination.
Pupils who have never been in
school before must enter the first
two weeks. If children become
six years old during the first two
weeks of school they may enter at
the-opening of the school.
Beginning pupils will not be ad-
mitted after the first two weeks as
there will not be a beginning class
for them to enter.
The same ruling will hold at the
opening of the schools after the
holiday vacation.
All pupils of the first, second and
third grades, who live south of the
railroad track will go to the south
school building. The fourth grade
will go to the same building.
JA11 pupils of the first, second
and third grades, who live north
of the railroad track, will go to the
north school building.
The fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades and the high school
will go to the north school build-
ing.
To the Teachers:
There will be a teachers' meet-
ing at the north school building,
Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 3 p. tn.
Important matters with refer-
ence to examinations, classifica-
tion, etc , are to be considered. It
is hoped that all teachers will be
present. Very truly,
Wm. Z Smith, Supt.

DEMOCRATIC

of Oklahoma taken pleasure in re-
cording its genuine pride in the
marvelous development and «plen.
did achievement which has charac.
terixed ihe first thirteen years of
the imt«>rt\ of the greaiest terri-
tory thi* u nion has ever created.
In i ti is short period the territory
t.as been I'anstlined from the
■ tie oi tie cow and the coyote

on siiimIv, mulligent and prog res
-ive American citizens, owning
.j ooo.ooo worth of availahle
ass t«, Purely such people are en-
titled to the American heritage of
^•".government And we here ami
now declare our firm conviction
that we are entitled to the rights,
privileges and responsibilities of
American statehood.
Nor are we unmindful of «ur
brethren of the Indian territory.
Appreciating their splendid ca-
pacity and wonderful resources and
achievements, we desire union with
them in order lhat jointly we may
build up the greatest of the western
states,
We therefore favor the admis-
sion into the federal union of Okla-
homa and the Indian territories as
a single state. And in view of the
fact that Oklahoma has a splendid
land endowment for the schools, we
favor an adequate provision lor the
people of the Indian territory,
either in Und or other resources, so
that both territories may be placed
upon terms of equality in the main-
tenance and'support of their com-
mon schools.
Resolved, That we are unalter-
ably opposed to any encroachment
upon the magnificent endowment of
our public schools and colleges,
and we recommend that the final
disposition of the school and other
lands of the territory be left to the
people of the sovereign state in con-
stitutional convention assembled.
Resolved, that we condemn the
present school land board of the
territory for its harsh, unjust and
oppressive administration of the
school land office, and we pledge
our party to pass a fair and equit-
able school land law, just alike to
the lessees and to the people of the
territory.
We favor the early enactment of
a law by the federal congress grant-
ing free homes to the residents of
the new country, and we denounce
the aetion of Delegate Flynn in ex-
cluding that country from the pro-
visions of the recent free homes
act.
We favor immediate statehood

at the hands ol the present congress,
to the end that the thousands of
voters iu the western and south,

may have proper and adequate

lative session.
The democratic party pledges it.
self to promote in every way the
applicaticn of the system of primary
election tor the nomination of can-
didates and the settling of party

of a suitable primary election law
for the legal introduction of such a
system into this territory.
Believing as we do that the legit-
imate aim of government is to pro-
mote the greatest good of the peo-
ple, we favor the public ownership
of municipal utilities.
We renew our allegiance to the
principles of the democratfc party
as enuneiated in its national plat,
form adopted at Kansas City in
1900.
And upon the foregoing declara-
tion of principles, we invite the sup-
port ot all good citizens and sen
sible business men in the approach-
ing election.
