for the college department.
Sub-Academy: The work ia thia
department is not strictly graded
bat is intended for thoee who are
deficient in the common school
branches and have reached the
age. where it is unpleaaant for
them to attend the public schools
The work ia ao arranged as to en
able those so situated to prepare
quickly for the academic work.
Many subjects taught in the public
achool are very important for
children, but for young men and
women who have neglected their
early training, theae are not at all
neceaaary. A young man or woiffan
of mature mind.' geod health, high
ambition and strong determination
can eaaily complete the work in
nine months, that would require
two to three years in the a>erage
public school.
Academy: This department
covers the work of the regular
nighachool course of four years. It
is no part of our plan to compete
with the high shcools, as the course
of events educational clearly indi-
cates that the day of the indepen-
dent Academy is a thing of the
past. But there are hundreds of
young men and women in Western
Oklahoma, who do not have high
school advantages at home, but
must go away from home and
board. We believe it is much
better for such to attend a school
where they are under the personal
supervision of Christian teachers,
who will see tnat they have proper
homes and are not allowed to form
habits or acquaintances, that will
interfere with their studies tr in-
jure their characters Strong
students can^easily save one yea/ of
time and do thia work in three
years instead of four by doing ex-
ta work and securing individual at-
tention. This is especially true of
mature young people who realize
the advantages of in education
and are willing to work hard
College Department: This is the
central department of the school
system for which, as said above the
other departments exist. The
management looks forward eagerly
to the tim^wJ^e^ only a minimum
amount of preparatory work wilt
be required and the whole strength
of the trustees and faculty can be
devoted to the building up of a
great college. This year we are
teaching three years of work above
the high school. Indeed to finish
all the work offered above the high
school would require from the best
students at least four to five years.
Next year it is planned to offer
four full years of college work, en-
titling the student completing the
work an A. B. degree. While the
range of electives are not so wide
as those offered in a univei^ity,
where students specialize for the
higher degrees, the courses offered
in all branches except science will
equal chose required for gradua-
tion in the best universites of the
land. Indeed (the only difference
in a college and university in the
strictly literary course is that a _
university adds to the four college
years, additional work for the
Masters and Doctors degree?. Then
the university offers the opportun-
ity .to specialize in science or in
the professional branch? s. It means
absolutely no more to receive an A.
'B. degree from a university than
from a college. Indeed the average
college furnishes usually a much
superior quality of training dur-
ing the first three years of a col-
lege course than does a university,
since this work in the university
is done for the most part by tutors
and assistants who have neither
the educition nor the experience of
the college professor.
In detail, the arcount of work
done in the college above the high
school is as follows: Three years
of English, three years of Latin,
three years of Greek, two yeari of
German, two years of French, two
yefers of History, two years of Ped-
agogy, two vears of Philosophy,
two years in Bible, one year in Po-
litical Economy aid Political
Scien*, one half year in Sociology,
and two years in Mathematics. The
ad vance science courses are not
offered, because the college ha* not
the nvce.-asry equipment and ia
the policy of the faculty to Icaeh
no course for which there is not
preasion.
lo brief. Mangum has a school
of college grade of which she may
well be proud. Western Oklahoma
baa a college worthy of her gifts
and patronage. That this ia true,
ia shown by the fact that aeveral
students of last year have gone
the state uoiversity and to etiier
schoola for special professional ad-
vanced work, and have received full
credit for the work done here with
out question or examination.

London acknowledge herself as
vanqnished in the art of stag? pro-
duction when Klaw and Erianger's
great aptctacle "Ben-liar" waa
presented st the Theatre Royal.
Drury Lane last January. Even
the critic* whose caustic pens have
punctured American hopea of
dramatic glory in the English me-
tropolis many a time and oft.
found themselves unable to pick a
flaw in the New production of
General Wallace's play. With one
voice the press and the public hail-
ed this spectacle as the greatest
ever shown in London, even on the
historic stage of Drury Lane, where
the Christmas pantomimes for more
than a hundred years have been
considered the acme of stage beau-
ty and spectacular surprise. Not
even Sir Henry living's splendidly
dressed revivals of the Shakespear-
ean classics, nor Sir Bterbohm
Tree's production at His Majesty's
have equaled the realism and beau-
ty of the Klaw and Erlanger pre
sentation of "Be:i-Hur". It was
the determination of thesJ gentle-
men to show the British public that
America leads in thi art of stage
equipment as she leads in many
other arts and crafts and they
have succeeded beyond their great-
est expectations. The production
of "Ben-Hur" shown in London
was that which was sfen last year
at the New Amsterdam Theatre,
New York. The season at Drury
Lane hug. just c!os?d, the Wallace
spectacle having made a phenom-
enal run of six months. The en-
gagement just ended was. the sec-
ond which "Ben-Hur" had played
in London, the first occuring twelve
years ago, just at the time of the
death of Queen Victoria, which
cast a gloom over England, but
the cloud did not dim even at that
time the success of "Ben-Hur".
However in its present revival in
England, it has eclipsed in every
manner and degree its former ar-
tistic and financial succ ss.
This mighty production has been
brought back to America and will
be staged at the Overholser
Theatre, Oklahoma City, Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings and
Thursday matinee, Jan. 28 and 29.

tain preliminary conventions will be

tified with other parties. Therefore
we invite, to participation in these
primaries and conventions, regardless

tizens who are disposed to co-operate
with us in securing the election of
officials who will give us honest, eco-
nomical and cO'itiiietent government.

Attorney General West Opens His
Campaign in Kiowa County—a
Small Crowd Attends Meeting.
Thirty-nine men, two women and a
boy greeted Attorney General Wes* at
the court house Saturday night and
heard his opening shots in his cam-
paign for governor of the great state
of Oklahoma. The crowd was order-
ly, giving him rapt attention through-
out his entire discourse of an hour
and a half's duration, and at no time
interrupted with applause. The chill-
iness df the night may have had some
influence upon the temperament of
the audience, causing all to keep their
pent-up enthusiasm under cover un-
til lat%r in the season, when it can be
exposed with safety and without risk
of having it blighted by a belated
blizzard. At any fate, let the cause
be what it may, the usual outburst of
Democratic zeal was lacking and all
looked as serious as a mule at a fun-
eral.—Hobart Republican.
