Never before in the annals of the
'land of the fair god” has Woodward
county had such a rousing and si
cessful normal institute. Our educa-
tional hope sees a star; and listening
can hear the rustle of a wing. Ever
and anon as we view the army of
» men and women who go forth
daily to cultivate the highest powers
which God has given to man, and to
fit themselves for the grandest calling
that a mortal was ever summoned to
fulfill, we are reminded that the
spark of intellectual divinity yet
glowes in the inner soul, and the ex-
alted purpose of western Oklahoma
Never before has there been such
intense interest, such faithful exer-
tions, such a unanimity of purpose,

such a longing for profound scholar-
ship, or such a determination to do
eAcieut work as there is now. Never
before has that uniform good will per-
meated the entire fabric of ths Insti-
tute as it does now. Never before
has there been such an effieint and
determined teaching force preparing
to go out on the great educational
campaign of the year aa there k now.
Never before has the short gram
country had a riper schblarship to
place in command of its army of little
men and women. Never before have
the leaden of our education and
thought possessed such lofty concep-
tions of their duties.
The Norms! Institute is the preface
to the school work of the year. Out
of it will spring the thought that will
lead Young America up wisdem’s hill.
Jut of it will flow ths mHk of human
kindness with which to dilute the gall
and wormwood of pedagogic woe.
Out of it will gush forth Abundant
streams of inapintion.
It is indeed gratifying to note that
high above the mouthing of the dem-
agogue-high above the idle vrant of
the politician, we can breathe an at-
mosphere of intellectual health and
purity. How grand it is to know
that even though there are ripples of
malice along the shores, the great
ocean of troth remains undefiled! 0,
men of Oklahoma! Know ye that the
power which ye spend in scrambling
over political spoils would, if directed
in the proper channels, land yon far
up the hillside of domestic prosperity?
Know ye that in true education there
is neither sect nor creed, neither far-
tion nor dogma? Know ye’that gen-
erations yet unborn will place the
stamp of eternal infamy upon the pol-
icy of cansing law to fatten while
education starves? Know ye that
the fondest hope of oar nationality
lies in the American youth? Know
ye that now is the time to farm the
attitude which the members of the
next generation will have toward the
snowy heads of their siren?
The need of the hour is cooperation
and not divided effort. This given
and the rest will be secure. Swords
will be turned into pruning hooks,
and tongue of slander will utter praise
and song.
We doubt not through the ages
One increasing purpose runs,
An™AeAhought* of men **» "ridning
With the process of the suna.”

Commencement week at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma, says the News
Letter, was a success. From the
first concert on Saturday night to the
closing exercises on the following Fri-
day morning, in any of the entertain-
ments there were no hitches, no
breaks; everything passed off smooth-
ly and satisfactorily. Participation
in the events of the week showed the
obeerver above all else that the work
in all the departments of the school
for the year had been careful, thor-
ough and efficient.
