OF CEJiTKALIZATIOS.
When Gof. Cruce was preparing
Mb program for reduction of state
educational Institutions, be wrote
numerous of the greater American
educators and university heads,
asking their opinion of his plan as
cutlined to them.
Messages of commendation wero
received by the governor from n
large number, including President
gchurman cf Cornell, Lowell of Har-
vard, Hadlty of Yale, Jordan of
Leland Stanford, Jordan of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, Gunsaulus of th)
Armour Institute of Technology, and
Van Hiae of the University of Wis-
consin.
The informations was sought the
governor explains for the informa-
tion of the taxpayers of the state.
Most of these replies appear to be
based upon the terms of the "Akin
bill" whlci proposed to eliminate
four normal schools, five districts
agricultural schools, the two prepar-
atory schools, the mining school and
the girls' school at Chickasha.
Tlic Symposium.
A. S. Draper, commissioner of edu-
cation of the state of New York,
writes:
"If you do not look out, you will
have more state schools than good
ones. That Is almost Inevitable. It
will be far wiser to have a small
number aid make them stronger,
and in later years develop new ones
fct the need of them may become
apparent. • • • Moreover, in my
Judgment, there is no necessity of
 ) many aormal schools, I shall
I suppose that two at the start
would be ample."
The secretary of the Carnegie
Foundation Fund for the advance-
ment of Teaching, writes:
"In general then according to
our experience, the principle of con
aolldatlon Is most wise. So far as
my knowledge of your Institution?
of the stale separate colleges, with
the result that as years go by in-
tense rivalry developes between
these institutions, work is dupli-
cated, and public funds are unneces-
sarily and wastefully expended. 1
earnestly hope, therefore, that Ok-
lahoma, which now has a state uni-
versity, will make its school of
mines a department of that univer-
sity. • • * Undoubtedly there la
a tendency to multiply unnecessary
normnl schools for the sake of get-
ting money from the treasury of
the state 101 the benefit of the lo-
calities in which these institution;
i.re placed.
"I have no doubt whatever that
It is good policy to abolish your
two university preparatory schools
• • • I believe the policy of
starting agricultural schools a mis-
taken one, and would favor agri-
cultural departments In high schools
supplemented by Bhort winter
courses in the agricultural col-
leges."
From Colorado Man.
Mr. James H. Baker, president
of th e University of Colorado,
writes:
"I endorse most emphatically the
provision of your proposed bill for
reducing the number of educational
irsUtutlons In your state. * * *
No greater mistake In the history
THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF AGE
EASY WAY TO PRESERVE NAT-
URAL COLOR OF THE HAIR
AND MAKE IT CROW.
A harmless remedy, made from
common garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The
care of the hair, to prevent It from
losing Its color and lustre, is just
as important as to care for teeth to
keep them from discoloring. Why
spend money for coBmetlc* and
creams to Improve the complexion,
and yet neglect your hair, when
gray balr is even more conspicuous
and suggeBUve of age than wrinkles
or a poor complexion f Of the two,
It Is easier to preserve the natural
color and beauty of the hair than It
la to have a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occa-
sional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Hair Reoudy, a preparation of
common gardes Sage and Sulphur,
combined with other valuable reme-
dies for dry, harsh, faded hair, dan-
druff, itching scalp and falling baK
After a few applications of this sim-
ple, harmless remedy, your hair will
gradually be restored to Its natural
color, in a short time the dandruff
will be removed, and your hair will
ho longer come out but will start ro
enables me to judge, the particular I grow as Nature intended It should.
romblnaUons and eliminations thai' Don't neglect your hair, for It goM
of this country has been made than
the scattering of educational insti-
tutions on account of political or
local interests and you never will
Lave in Oklahoma a strong educa-
tional institution of any class until
you have made the changes proposed
by this bill."
Fruin Harvard Chief.
A. Lawrence Lowell, president of I
Harvard University, writes:
"Two normal schools should be
enough anl far better than six,
because two can be made of first
rate quality, while It la hard to keep
six on that level. There ought to
tc no need for university prepara-
tory schools. • * • It would cer-
tainly be aii advantage to discon-
tinue the School of Mines, and com-
bine It with the university or the
Agricultural and Mechanical college,
In whichevei one of them the engi-
neering course is tought."
From Minnesota President.
Cyrus Northrop, president of the
University of Mlnniesota, writes:
"It seems to me that your state
Is heavily burdened with so many
separate schools. The changes pro-
posed by the bill of which you
speak seen to me advisable. The
School of Mines, the university and
tb« A. and M. college might welt
be one Institution as they are in
Minnesota. • • • I don't know
l'.ow many normal schools you need;
I should think six would be too
many. Minnesota has five, and I
think at l ast one of them Is un-
necessary.
"With your splendid public BChool
system: with high schools doing
full high school work, I do not see
any need for the two university
preparatory schools. They are ap-
parently thj occasion of useless ex-
pense."
From Yale President.
President Hadley of Vale Univer-
sity writes:
'I am convinced that six normal
schools is too many. Two appears
tc be quite enough. The elilmnation
the University Preparatory
schools Is wise and economical if it
means that you have high schools
that can five really first-rate uni-
versity preparation in mathematics
and foreign languages.   • • You
r.re right in centralizing the agri-
cultural Instruction. * • * You
srem to be clearly right in discon-
tinuing tho School of Mines as an
Independent Institution and combin-
ing it with the university. A great
deal of the theoretical instruction
preparatory for mining Ib exactly
what Is needed in a university, and
the attempt to give this in two
places Instead of one means un-
necessary duplication."
Wisconsin Opinion.
Charles K. Van Hise, president
of the University of Wisconsin,
writes:
"As I 803 it, the first serious de-
fect of the educational system of
Oklahoma 1h the separation of Its
higher education into a university
an agricultural and mechanical col-
lege, and a school of mines. IF
these institution, or even two of
them can be consolidated this would
be a very great advantage (o the
state. • * • If it Is not possi-
ble to brln^ together all three, then,
by all means, bring the school of
mines to the university. There can
be no possible advantage in separat-
ing a school of mines from the uni-
versity; not only so, but from the
educational and the flnasclal points
cf view the separation is most dis-
advantageous. * * •
"In a Bti to In which there are
well developed high schools there
Is no justification for maintaining
university preparatory schools."

farmers of this country must eventually
become operators of manufacturing
plants, and must handle their lands with
methods of business-like efficiency equal
to those of the upto-date factory if
this country is to continue a sufficient
production of foodstuffs, is the con-
tusion reached by experts in their
analysis of crop figures for this year.
In spite of the great yields of man;-
crops it is being ;>ointed out here u

tions under which they were secured
that in the matter of efficiency in
securing results from the land our farm-
ers are so far behind those of. Europe
as to make the immediate application of
efficiency methods such as are in use in
the most successful manufacturing plants

In Germany the valuable results of
conducting farms on a system that turns
them practically into agricultural fac-
tories has been fully demonstrated. In
consequence of the consistent application
of this plan over a period of many years,
the acreage yields of nearly all crops in
Germany are double those of this coun-

the beets themselves, and from the cattle
fed upon beet pulp. A regular rotatior
was followed which was practically pre

try. As a result of the steady cultiva-
tion of the sugar beet in rotation with
other crops, it has been demonstrated
that this tuber is the most efficient unit
which can be installed in the a*p-icultural
factory as it is planned to designate the
farm under the new efficiency plan. As
the<beet. however, is already fairly well
jfrnown in this country, and certain to
'achieve still greater j>opularity, if its
culture is not discouraged by the open-
ing of the American market to the-
foreign product produced more cheaply
as the result of far lower wages, it is
believed that it will before many vears
insure to this country an agricultural
position which no other nation can
approach. Through the encouraged
growth of the sugar beet, Germany is
not only exporting $50,000,(XX) worth of
sugar annually but because of its aid in
increasing the output of other crops is
producing yields which are nearly twice
as great us the same lands afforded
before the :<lopt!on of sugar bert Cul-
ture in rotation with other crops.
An example of these new methods in
which the sugar beet is such an im-
portant factor is furnished in'the report
of Mr. W. H. Baird, as a result of his
investigatmns abroad As an example
of the highest type of farming, or
agricultural manufacturing methods. Mr
Baird cites the case of a leasehold of
about 1,000 acres ne*r Prague
"The farm," «ays Mr. Baird "was in
two parts or domains, leased from dif-
ferent owners and held under twelve
rrs' lease. The two places have been
the hands of one holdrr •
terms of twelve years each, or thirty-six
years, and were beginning at the time or.
the thirty-seventh year. \ t:
made on foot over about .
the f?.rni visiting t •
for clover. On this farm the average
yield of wheat for ten years was 3.
bushels to the acre, with corresponding
yields of rye and barley. The fertility
and the yield from this soil keep up yea 
in and year out
"Now as to the financial results of this.
The average profits according te the in
formation given me were $20,000 .1 year,
or a net yield of $30 an acre It
be said that he was hiring his lab- ;
very cheap. He was. The \\mes pud
were about 40 cents a day, but on the
other hand, it mu:t be remembered that
he was leasing his land and the rent;
were very high. He paid all the taxes
and his rents covered every acre within
the boundaries of the farm—ditch banks,
homesteads, wood lots and waste 'and.
as well as actual farming land, and 'o 
this he paid an average of $16.20 zn
acre. His total yitld on every arte
whether in use or not was $j6 an acre
The prices received for his various pro-
ducts were not very much greater than
in America, and for many of them not
as high. For his milk he received 4
cents a quart; for his wheat from $1 to
$1.20 per buihel ; for his beets $4 per
ton.
"None of this land could compare in
native fertility and quality with the1
average American soils, but it was a
large manufacturing plant carried on in
a business-like manner, and keeping on
the farm everything in the way of
fertility that could be kept and selling
those products which took least away
from the farm."
Already these methods are being tried
in this country with results which indi
