problem of education in ( lie rural dis-j
mas or our county. in the city
schools an effort has been made to
fit the course of sludy to meet the
needs of the city boy and girl in the
line of work which they are likely to
adopt in after life. They have courses
and special teachers for clerical work
"tc. This course of study has been
blindly applied to country schools
where it educates the boys and girls
away from the farm instead of to II
by teaching the terms of city life
i speaking in the language of the city
streets rather than that of the coun-
try lane." '

cil. What that s'reet is open we will
ley a line through from the Ok'a.h.o-
n:a Co'.'ege far W.imen and connect
with the Ninth street line. This will
give a loop and the service can he a
car every 1" minutes.
"I have the permission of the cor-
poration commission to cut this car
off and am going to do it Thursday

when the gas pressure is confined by
i.he packer.
Operations from one end of ithe
.field to tllie other have been greatly!
hindered for the past three or four
weeks on account of the bur weath-i
er. It has been impossible to get to I

Western Union and Southwestern
Pell telephone companies .stated that

eral days.

.'.ban the Frisco appa.riintly. Uoc.lt
Island passenger train No. Ill was
four hours late in llo Chickasha frotn
the ninth this morning. The Ktorm
and the fact that No. 31 lias to make

as M.:e. reason.
