Nine months school is maintained,
and the high appreciation of educa-
tion shows that the populati m of the
city .is composed of cultivated, en-
lightened people. The work of the
public schools is supplemented by
precepts. Oklahoma City is proud of
her eleven church buildings and four-
teen organizations with the usual
auxilliary societies, and the secret,
fraternal and benevolent orders.
This city now has a population of
from nine to ten thousand people, and
while the growth has been rapid it is
not "magic" or •'marvelous." Hut
those who have watched the develop-
ment of western cities believe that it
is in keeping with her gieat resources
and magnificent future prospects.
Tie improvements going on this
season are greater than have been
known in any previous year and it is
bilieved that the growth of Oklahoma
City will not stop short of a city of
50.00H.

which 100,000 tons of hay wlll be
