Oklahoma Lad to
See Capital for
First Time Soon
Although fifteen years of ago and
a native Oklahoma James Hutson
Daily Express carrier boy lias nevei
crossed the boundary line of Okla-
homa City the state's capitol me-
tropolis. James will visit Oklahoma City foi
the first time on September 20
when lfo will enjoy the pleasures of
tho stato fair and hear President
Wilson air the merits of the League
of Nations.
" I Lad my plans all made to go
to the state fair last year but the
Buddy who was going with me
backed out just a few hours before
time to leave" said "Jinimie" as lie
is known in the circulation depart
' ment.
The fact that .Jimniie has never
visited the capitol of his native state
is no reason to believe that the boy
has never traveled. James with his
narents. spends his vacations in
Chicago Kansas City or Colorado.
He can tell of the snow capped
Rockies the meat packing houses
and sky scrapers in Chicago and the
rich wheat ffelds of Kansas. He has
viewed Broadway in New York City

Many Students Here Select Corn; In-

Credits Given.
I
Twenty-six boys are enrolled for
vocational agriculture training in
i
tho Chickasha high school Prof.
Walter A. Marker vocational agri
cultural instructor said this morning
This instruction is given in accord
ance with the provisions of tho
Smith-Hughes law lcj iuly exuded
by congress.
Pursuant to the provisions of the.
law studentes are required to do u
certain amount of practical work out-
side the school . room by planting
nml r.iilHunf intr n uimilt Hrrp:n' ift
some crop adaptable to the soil of
this section. The student is given
option in selecting tho crop and
many of the students enrolled in the
vocational agriculture department of
tho local high school are selecting
corn according to Professor Marker.
Others he says are selecting gar
den products. A ; mi.jorlty of the
twenty-six boys in this department
reside on farms and as a result
intense interest in the work is being
manifested.
It is required that lie student do-
vote fifty per cent of l.is school time
to the vocational icuiture work
and complete his project before cred-
it is awarded. The remaining fifty
per cent of time is devoted to other
studies such as English science and
history. Mr. Marker states that the
state A. and M. college at Stillwater
and the state university at Norman
will accept as entrance credential.1
units from the vocational agriculture
department. '
'The investigation of agricultural
questions or tho demonstration of
best met hods is not tho primary
object in this work" Prof. Marker
points out. He continued "the aim
is to teach the boy how to farm best
by using results of experiments and
all other information. A secondary
aim is to help tho b;y make money
to be a business man. Sufrvis:d
practical work may bo secured in
either of two ways: (1) By working
on the school farm under the imme-
diate supervision of the teacher; or
(2) by work on the homo farm under
the supervision of the teacher who
will secure co-operation of the 'par
ent to make the supervision effective
during tho absence of the teacher.
The former method is primarily for
boys who have had no opportunity
to learn the manipulative process of
farming and who are to bo taught
how to harness a horse how to cul-
tivate corn how to milk cows and
to do the other things which the
farmer boy has learned long before
he attends a school of agriculture.
"The latter is for tho farmer boy
who already knows the manipulative
process but who needs experience
in the application of the scientific
principles which he will learn in
school. He also needs to practice
at home the things which he sees
demonstrated at school or on nearby
farms under the direction and super-
vision of the teacher in connection
with laboratory and field work.
"The supervised practical work for
the boy who lives cn a farm may
consist of two parts: Tho home pro-
ject is an enterprise undertaken by
the boy with full responsibility on
his part for both the financing of the
project and the doing of the work
although he may not necessarily da
all the work himself. This would
be a business enterprise involving
the keeping of books the taking of
inventories the making of final state
ments. In addition to the project
certain home laboratories may be
carried on like testing of milk from
a certain number o'f cows or the
treatment of seed potatoes for scap
or the testing of the" perminating
powers of seed corn or the grafting
of fruit trees." f
