One of the new features to be in-troduced into the curriculum andwork of East Central State Normalthe coming year, marking an endea-vor on the part of the administra-tion to place the institution in thevery front rank of schools, to fit pu-pils for the' conditions which mustobtain as we come into closer touchwith Pan-Americanism, is the newdepartment of Spanish. For thatprofessorship has been chosen Prof.Antonio de Aguilar Cruz, a native ofSpain by birth and education anda man with an unusually distinguish-ed record. .Prof. Cruz was born in Seville

Spain in 1876. He secured his edu-cation in the parochial schools of thatcity and graduated from the SevilleConservatory of Music. On ac-count of his unusual ability, he wassent to Madrid and from that wellknown Conservatory received a goldmedal as a magna cum laude grad-uate.At the outbreak of the Spanish-

American war he was appointedbandmaster of the Spanish RoyalMllrine band and sailed from Spainon the Maria Theresa, Admiral Cer-vera's flagship for the port of Santi-ago, Cuba.On July 4, 1898 the Maria There-

sa was the first Spanish ship to passout of the harbor to meet the des-tructive fire of Admiral Schley'ssquadron. After his vessel was lit-erally shot to pieces Mr. Cruz escap-ed in a life boat and reached shoreabout three miles from Santiago har-bor. He was sent as prisoner of warto Cienfeugos, Cuba and there mus-tered out of the Spanish navy.

Ada is tile home of practically allreligious denominations. The Me-thodists, Baptists.

Parents may send their boysto East Celltral with a minimulll fearfor their opportunities to become as-sociated with vice. Pool halls wereabolished two yearS ago.The system of public schools ranks

among the best in Oklahoma. It ishoused in one high school building,two ward buildings and a sma]1overflow building. Ada was the firstnormal school town to establish ahigh school. It did this of its ownvolition before the legislature passedthe law taxing the towns that hadstate schools but no high schools.Since it was organized very few nfthe graduates of the eighth grade inthe ward schools have entered thenormal. This high school is fullyaccredited by the Oklahom.1 Uni-versity,

These delinquenciesmay be inCLlrred through damages tobooks, loss of books or for keepingthem overtime.This is a move that will be most

heartily welcomed by all librarians.It will increase the efficiency of thelibrary to a wonderful extent. Yhestudent will feel more respI)J1sibilityfor the books he is using and endea-vor to return them on time and ingood conjition. With the limited

There are people who think thatbecause they have had the priveli ge,or rather, the disadvantage of usinl!a few tools to make some rougharticles according to their notion,they have had a course in manual

To misusetools and waste material is not 10 re-ceived training in tool work.The subject of manual naming is

hard and serious. It is no leisuretime occupation. Manuel training isnot play, nor frivolity, nor disorderlyand unorganized tool work. It re-quires close concentrated thoughtprocess to do effective manual work.Some principals and supenntend-

When Northeastern State Normalof Tahlequah played on our fieldrecently, one of their players, Mr.Bunker Bean, excited the admirationof the spectators by his clever Walkat fullback. He ran fairly well withthe ball and with his weight andstrength was able at times to makesome headway agai nst East Central'sline. He always came out of thehardest scrimmages with a smileand when the game was over, leftthe field with the respect and goodwishes of our team and students.A week later we played the School

There is an indefinable somethingprevadiog this institution that isholding the school in a splendidgrasp. I have never seen any bodyof students as large as this whereso few ';Don'ts" have been used.From the first year class of the pre-paratory school to the senior classor tne normal college; there is mani-fested a spirit of "Do the right thing,at the right time, and do it rightly".The little party recently given bythe entire school to the entire schooland entered into by practically everystudent and every member of thefaculty who could be present, wasbut an expression of this wholesomeschool spirit that is proving so liveand yet so helpful [Q the school.The school song that is beingwritten by Miss Francisco, thechorus of which has already beenlearned and sung whole- heartedlyby the school, is but another ex-pression of this .sarue intangiblesomething called school spirit.

This should be true of anytraining school. If space permitted,sufficient reasons would be assignedfor the above statements.Fortunately the purpose of train-

ing the students and of trainmgthe pupils run clockwise witheach other. The better tile resultswith the students the better thetraining will be for the children.Therefore the problem is not nee-essarily dual in natue becauseachieving the first automaticallysatisfies the second. In otherwords, the conditions and suner-vision which turn Gut successfulteachers, likewise turn out well-taught pupils.We are highly gratified at con-

stantly receiving reports of the suc-cessful work our graduates are do-ing. Some of East Central's pro-ducts have even far exceeded in at-tainment all expectation, and willsoon be among the leaders who areshaping Oklahoma's destiny inmental and material development.

THE 'l'E..:HI

•

The season of 1916 is history andthe work of our Tigers is completed;They did nor win the state normalchampionship but they accomplisheda number of things for which theydeserve to be remembered longer thanany other tea m in East Central's re-cords. In the first place they start-ed out with fewer veterans tbanany team since the first. Only fourmen with sxperience reported. Theywere all good, (doubt yen Kreiger,Young, Garrison, and Bishop, butnot good enough to overcome thehandicap of seven new men and beready to face the new schedule thatbeen prepared, especially since theywere boys and light ones at that,for instance, Whit Pentern, WylieChaney, John Craig, COlin Roachand othe. s. So afterfighting througha hard scedule to second rankingamong ~~ix normals and to victoryover Southeastern the team deservesa warm conslderanon from its many

friends.Mure important than this to the

team and the institutcn , howeverwas the magnificent spirit shownthroughout the season. There wasatwaps the best of feeling amongthe players and between the teamand student body. There was noknocking from either side but thefriendliest cooperation. If there wasa "roughneck" element it was sohopelessly in the minority that itnever made a ripple 011 the surface.

Another feature that has not al-ways been lacking in East Centralteams was the reputation we earnedthis year for playing clean.spirit of "cleanness" simply oozedout of our players. There was noneof the kneeing, gouging, piling up,and heckling of officials on the partof the Tigers. Little courtesies ontheir part towards the visitors andofficials were a part of the pleasurein attending the games. CharlesOrr, Oklahoma, who refereed allotthe games on the home ground butone, said, "East Central has thecleanest bunch of players that I haveever mixed Lip with. They erecourteous and respectf .10 officialsand opponents and absolutely treet rom needless fIlu;;lmess."So if we did 0 win the champion-

THE EAST CENTRALITE ECONOMICS OF SPENDINGAND SAVING

By ETHEL M. RUSSELBulletin East Central State Normal

E. C, Wjl.~on ".. - - i\Tanaging liJditor Read before the Home Economics Club

ln the study of Economics thereare two great divisions-productionand consumption. Until with afew years. by far the lion's shareof time and study has been given tothe first of these di~isions. Recent-Iy a decided change has taken place.A conviction has been growing, es-pecially among students of econorn-ics , of the equal importance of theotberdivision , which covers the useof the money after it has been ac-quired.Two aims are of equal importance

in the practice of economy; (1) toincrease the income, and (2) to di-minish the expenditures.The cost of living should be so

balanced as to secure the greatestcomfort and convenience possiblewithout sacrificing anything necessary for health, physical, mental,or moral.The most judicious use of money

is to form for one's self first of allas-pleasant and comfortable a homeas is consistent with one's means'.Money thus spent is money safelyinvested,

Ada, Oklahoma:- The first an-nual meeting of the East CentralOklahoma Educational Assoctattonto be held at Shawnee February 22to 24 is of very great importance tothe teachers of ,tl.lis section. Themeettnz is important, not only be-cause of the excellent program to berendered but because, in many re-respects, it should set the race forsucceeding meetings of the associa-tton.Although the committee has of

necessity had to work hastily andwith limited means, the program isis one that will prove very helpfulto the teachers. President Hornbeakof Trinity University will have a realmessage-for the teachers at the firstmeeting. His subject will _ be"Twentieth Centurv Education forTwentieth Century Youth." StateSuperintendent Sherrill of Tennesseeis an educatorof recognized abilityund will be an iuspiratio-r to his au-dience. No especial comment needbe made 011 the talent from Oklaho-ma as. it is known to be some of thevery best in the state. Then thedepartmental sections will make themeetiug look like a reul educationa,1association.I should like personall}' to urge

every teacher in the district to m;Jkeit a .point to :'lttend this meeting.,There are educational problems ofour district tl13t must be solved bythe teachers of this district.

Continued from page four

Em'Ollrnent

The enrollment for the sum-mer promises to be the largestin the history of the institution.Last summer no teacher was se-lected from McClain, Garvin orOkfuskee Counties. The enroll.ment from those counties was:McClain 19, Garvin 25, Okfus-.kee 5. This summer we are tohave one or more, teachers fromevery county in the district. Weshall also have the active sup-port of every county superinten-dent in the di-strict.

,k The 1¥u1'Situation

While the war" situation mayhave a tendency to prevent theattendance of a few, the largemajority of the 'teachers will re-alize that the very unsettled con-dition of the ccunta y calls for abetter trained leadership thanever before. 'Furthermore, goodteachers will be more 'in demandthan ever 'before 'and the pro-gressive teacher will draw a 'bet-'tel' salary by far than one whodoes not-use hi'S best efforts foradvancement in hie work.

While the list is not exceedingly large,it is believed that almost every teacher who desires to work bycorrespondence will find one or more courses that he wishes.,

CONDENSED REGULATIONS FOLLOWI-A student is supposed to be ready for the course for which

he applies.2-------:Notmore than two courses may be enrolled at one time.3-Nlo credit on a co-rrespondence course will be given without

an examination covering the course. This examination should betaken a't the Normal when the student is visiting the school orcomes to enroll as oR resident student.

4-The fee is $5.00 fOl: each course pgya'ble in advance and notreturnable after the course is entered upon. The fee should ac-company the application.

An application blank together with list of courses offered fol-lows. Use this when applying for the courses.Name of 'applicant , , ,. .Addrese , .Are you teaching at present?

At the faculty meeting lastSaturday it was decided to setMonday, June 24, aside as a dayor rest. There will be no schooland students and faculty mem-bers will probably' take advan-tage of the holiday to make atrip to their homes, or take ad-vantage ot th.e opportunity toget better acquainted with .thecity of Ada, visit the lake, goon picnics and sllch like. Butschool will begin at 7: 00 A. M,on Tuesday morning, June 25,and unless students wish to SUf-fer severe penalties in the wayor having their grades cut,they will be pl'esent at thattime.

Miss Spaeth and Mr.Fishman have been engaged tn anti-tuberculosis work In several of theNOTthern States and have been re-cently speeding theIr time presentingtheir experiences to the studenta insnmmer session at all the State Nor-.mal School!;!,- __The goveTnnlent is supporting this

If the Wireless .toda)' should bring the message thal OUl'900,000soldiers wel'e at death grips with the Hun, you would forget all elsebut the boys in the battle lines.

If the wires should bl'ing the story that the boys from Pontotoccounty were the bravest of all American soldiers and did most'deadly execution, you would be proud of every lad we have ever sentover seas. OLAR-K "~ULKS who was a s.tu-

dent at East Central through moatof the regular school year recentlyoftered his service to the governmentand was sent to the West End NavalTraining Station at New Orleans. Af~tel' two months training he was oneof nineteen lads who were chosen forsignal corps work in the navy andwill soon be sent to Hampton Roadsto complete his training on land. AtHampton Roads he"will J:ank as thlrd_class quarter-masteT but lipon goingto sea his rank will be second-clasa,His work at the Roads will probablylast but a few weeks.

But if the Wires should tell us that of all the men who marCheddown into the valley of the shadow, the Pontotoc boyS' were theonly ones who acted the coward and fled In terror from the foe, youwould be ashamed of your county and probably would, never want tosee those boys again.

And on that day the eyes of nine hundred thousand soldiers wlllbe turned toward the homeland with an interest as intense as youmanifest when they storm the gates of deatb,

Suppose the wires convey to them the messa~e that of the manythousand counties of America Pontotoc wa.s among the first to raiaeher quota, will not our soldier boys be proud of Pontotoc and cheerevery mention of her name?

Bnt suppose the wires convey to them the story of our apostasyand tell them how among the countles of America Pontotoc was onethat failed in the hour of peril and refused to support the bo~yswhohave given to their country everything that life can cberish. Neveragain would they mention their home county and nevel" again wouldthey want to see the county from which they came,

You expect the lads of the line to maintain the reputation ofybur county. They expect YOUto maintain your county's good namehere at home.

Hemakes the change on account ofstrong financial inducements thatwere ol'fel'ed by the Bartlesville peo-ple, He will have pratically the sameline of worl, that he had in Texas.Mr. Clark l'epo1"ts that he is Im-

The rapid changes in modern life and the constant introductionof new ideas Into all pl'Ofessions has made the modern magazine oneof the greatest forces in our lire today. Every profession and everyindustry ll\llllbers its pal'Ucnlar jonrnals by tens and frequently byhundreds. Reference bool,s and textoooks, bowever complete theymay be when compiled, soon become out of date and need revision.So they are losing favor and their place is being taken by jouTnals,each issue or which is in a manner a reviSion of the past. They keepabreast of the times and any person who would be successful shouldhave and read as many jOllrnals pertaining to his profession as pos-sible.

Can you imagine a successful physician not receiving The JOill'-nal. 01' a lawyer who does not subscribe to seyeTal leading law joul'-nals?

No professional field is so well covered by publication.~ as is theeducational fjeld. Many of the verr best ones are sold at a. very l'ea-sonable price. There is no reason why every teacher should not sub_scribe to two or three educational peTiodicals that pertain to her'pal'-ticular line of work. The only dil'ficulty is in being able t.oselect thobest on account of the large field from which she may choose. , Thelibrary receives a representative selection of educatlo'nal journalsand offe,'s you an ,opportunity to investigate their merits.

Our library has made anallgeruents to take subscriptions to anyof these periodicals that you may wish. In the case of many of themagazines we can make some attractive pt:lces, 10wer in may casesthan YOll CO\lldget from the publishers. We have done this in orderthat we may be of service to you in your magazine selection and alsothat Ollr library may receive the benefit of the commission thst us-ually goes to the book or magazine agent.

[AST C[~lRAlVS. nN~All,Last Saturday Coach Newcomb

took his rootbauers to Tulsa tor- thefirst real scrimmage of the season.It was Henry Kendall's S. A. T. C. atthat place and it was the first gameof the season (or the 'pujsans also.The probable outcome of the gamewas a complete puzzle to all beforethe game. Both teams were more orless up:oet by the flu and the line-upof each team was not known untilthe day of the game. The gameturned out to be a very close affair,neither team having any apparent ad-vantage as the following from theTulsa \Vorld wiII testify:'Ada's S. A. T. C. gave Kendall

army students a run for their mone~yyesterday on the KendaH field. andthe home team was only able toscore tliree points on the ViSItors.In the first qual·ter Kendan re-

ceived and carried the ball to Ada'sI5-yard line then faUed to makebounds and the ball went over. Hop-Ing and ,Bridges cll"cled ends andsmashed the line fOl' good gains,showing signs of varsitr Class.The second quarter opened wlth

Ada ln possession of the ball and inher own territory. Ada punts out ofdaDger. )Jow the visitor tries a placekick and fails, losing to Russell, Ken-dall's fighting center.
