THE GOOD YEAR OF 1912
When we look around and carefully
take an inventory of the unusual ac-
complishments of 1912, the most ob-
servant will be truly astonished and
surprised. This year has seen many
forward and unusual steps taken
which, it is hoped, will prove of untold
profit and benefit.
Not I'.e least of which is the im-
petus given to home canning. Last
year, tomato clubs, among tine girls
of the country, were organized, just
like the corn clubs among the boys,
and the splendid results obtained were
"bmply demonstrated at the exhibition
last year on the square where lots
ftnd lota of both fruits and vegetables'
were shown, the most 9f which was |
Raised and put up by little girls, ]
some of them hardly in their teens.
The Oklahoman a few days ago
said editorlftly, aiong this ilne:
About two years ago the late Dr.
S. A. Knapp, .of the department of
agriculture, conceited the idea of
organizing girls' tomato clubs in the
southern states, something on the or-
der of the boys' corn clubs, which
have been run in previous years.
"Unfortunately Dr. Knapp died be-
fore this work was ready for public
demonstration. But tie idea took hold
among the farm girls of the southern
states and the results obtained this
year ar? con-siderel by the depart
t went of agriculture officials as re-
• markable.
*' "The work started out with the idea
o! having girls raise tomatoes and
possibly, can a few of them. It has
developed, however, into the girls
going in for tomatoes, poultry and
eggs, and canning, not only tomatoes,
bu: all sorts of fruits and vegetables,
so that in th« state of Oklahoma
alone the girls have this year canned
nienety varieties of fruit* and vege-
tables. making tW famous pickle fac-
tory look like a back number.
• There are about 25.000 girls now
enrolled in the southern states, and
work could be greatly extended if
mor* money »w available for In-
struction It is estimated by busin-
ess men and the department that the
girls' club sork has been worth
to tke state of Oklahoma
this year The basis « which the
estimate is made Is the fact that
these cans were shipped
state, and In Oklahoma City 11,000,-
000 were sold.
"One girl, who was a member of
the canning club, made a net profit
of 9101 from one-tenth of an acre,
and her ahowlng la a very good indi-
cation of what the girls can do In a
business line when they get etarted."
A WAV OUT WANTBO
Into the SOUfHWIgT BAPTIST COLLEGE
(Dally Oklahoman)
The disgraceful row kicked up
among members ofthestate board of
education in consequence of the at-
tempt of some to play peanut politics
is bringing forth many suggestions
from various quarters for means to
avoid a repetition of the altuation in
the yearn to come. Some want the
members ofthe board elected by the
people of the state at large for a six-
year term, while other desire to eee
them appointed, though they favor
lodging the appointive power In oth-
er hands than the governor's, where
It now rests.
„At first blush, the proposition to
elect the members of the board the
same as all our state officials are
elected will meet with widespread
approval, but, on sober ycond
thought, the feasibility of such a
method will be seriously and general-
ly questioned.
This thing of making all of our of-
ficials, state, county and municipal,
elective, I Is rapidly losing favor
among Intelligent, patrtolic people.
The notion that the more officials
we allow the people to elect the lar-
ger degree of democracy we impart
to our system of government is giv-
ing way to the feeling, born of bitter
experience, that efficient, economic
government does not always spring
from imposing duties upon the elec-
torate which it is not capable of in-
telligently discharging.
"Manifestly, the whole body of the
people of a state cannot select offi-
cials requiring special fitness with
the same care and discrimination as a
few well informed, patriotic citizens.
1 he reasons are patent. The public
at large cannot possibly possess the
means of familiarizing itself with the
special training required of each
functionary nor exercise the same de
gree of discrimination in finding men
to fill the same. As a result we fre-
quently find men in public office who
oossess no other qualification for dis-
charging the duties imposed upon
them than that they are hail fellows,
well met, posessed with an ambition
to do something for which they are
ill-fitted both by training and exper-
ience.
What does the whole body of the
people of this state know about the
itness of men required for properly
discharging the duties of the state
board of education?
"Absolutely nothing. And we sa.^
t in no spirit of disparagement at
all. We say it as a matter of fact,
because we believe that a few men
who are in close touch with our edu-
cational system are better qualified
for selecting men for membership on
state board than the electorate
at large.
Prof. McLaughlin, of Granite, for-
merly president of the state normal at
Edmond, has hit upon a plan for se-
lecting members of the state board of
education Which strikes us with much
favor. In a personal letter he saya;
"In yesterday's paper I note sup-
erintendent Wilson's plan for elec-
ting members Of the state board of
education. This plan would never
do, The scheming politicians would
most likely be elected. I believe the
following would be a better plan:
Let the legislature amend the laws so
that the supreme court members,
with the governor and state superin-
tendent, compos-; a commission of
seven to appoint the six members of
the board, two to serve for two years,
two for four years, and two for six
years. Km power the commission to
also fill vacancies at the end of each
two years. By this mean.-, very lit-
tle, if any political influence would
be detected, and the best men ob-
tainable would be appointed. I have
mentioned this plan to several citi-,
sens, and while it seemed novel at j
first blush, all so far agree that it
would meet the conditions here."
The Oklahoman has no pet plans
for meeting the difficulties with
which we are beset as a result of the
existing row. We hope, however,
that the legislature will do something
at IU forthcoming session which will
forever prevent a recurrence of such
a condition."
BURNT TO THK GROUND
m BOABD MEETING
During the week the members of
the board of directors of the college
have been In session Investigating the
work already done and that being
done, and to aay that they are pleased
with all la putting it mildly. They

time In the Interest of the school. He

termined effort to secure a permanent

cially. The members of the board ex-
pect to spend a great portion of their
