SENOR ANTONIO CRUZ

New Head Enthusiastic and llntiring In Dorts to Make Coming Year the Best

Newly Elected Head of Department or Spanish

President J. M. Gordon, who succeeded to his present position as head of the East Central State Normal on the 20 of last May, was born near Pine Bluff in the state. of Arkensas forty-one years ago, His parents removed from that state to Texas while he was very }'Otmg and settled near Hubbard. He received his early eJucationin the rural schools of that county and in the Hubbard high school. He entered Trinity College at Waxahachie, Texas, where he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1903, having spent one summer each in the Texas and Chicago Universities. The year, 1907-08, he spent iri graduate study while on leave of absence, at the University of Chicago from which institution he received the degree of master of arts in 1908. President Gordon's experience as a teacher began while he was a student at Trinity, he being at that time a student assistant in the department of Latin. Upon graduation he was made an instructor in that department and at the dose of

One of the new features to be introduced into the curriculum and work of East Central State Normal the coming year, marking an endeavor on the part of the administration to place the institution in the very front rank of schools, to fit pupils for the' conditions which must obtain as we come into closer touch with Pan-Americanism, is the new department of Spanish. For that professorship has been chosen Prof. Antonio de Aguilar Cruz, a native of Spain by birth and education and a man with an unusually distinguished record. . Prof. Cruz was born in Seville Spain in 1876. He secured his education in the parochial schools of that city and graduated from the Seville Conservatory of Music. On account of his unusual ability, he was sent to Madrid and from that well known Conservatory received a gold medal as a magna cum laude graduate. At the outbreak of the SpanishAmerican war he was appointed bandmaster of the Spanish Royal Mllrine band and sailed from Spain on the Maria Theresa, Admiral Cervera's flagship for the port of Santiago, Cuba. On July 4, 1898 the Maria Theresa was the first Spanish ship to pass out of the harbor to meet the destructive fire of Admiral Schley's squadron. After his vessel was literally shot to pieces Mr. Cruz escaped in a life boat and reached shore about three miles from Santiago harbor. He was sent as prisoner of war to Cienfeugos, Cuba and there mustered out of the Spanish navy. He went to Savannah Georgia and enlisted in the 4th Tennessee band and served for eight months, receiving an honorable discharge from the American army'

Entered as second-crassmatter at the Post Office at Ada, Oklahoma. When Northeastern State Normal of Tahlequah played on our field recently, one of their players, Mr. Bunker Bean, excited the admiration of the spectators by his clever Walk at fullback. He ran fairly well with the ball and with his weight and strength was able at times to make some headway agai nst East Central's line. He always came out of the hardest scrimmages with a smile and when the game was over, left the field with the respect and good wishes of our team and students. A week later we played the School of Mines' team on the same field. .The game had not progressed far when the bleacberites began to say, "I believe that is the fullback who was here last Friday". And sure enough it wa s-, Bunk Bean, who had made such a good impression the week before while playing under the Green and White of Northeastern, now, one week later, endeavoring to uphold the Blue and Wtute of the Miners' institution.

There was none of the kneeing, gouging, piling up, and heckling of officials on the part of the Tigers. Little courtesies on their part towards the visitors and officials were a part of the pleasure in attending the games.

was appointed to draft a constitution. This committee was directed to report at a meeting of the alumni that is to be held during the East Central Interscholastic Meet in April. The cernmittee is composed of Messrs. Ashby Tanner, T. W. Robinson, and Maxx Brents. The faculty representative on the committee is Mr. E. C. Wilson. The r-rembers of'this committee will be glad to receive suggestions from any member of the association concerning the important work that they have ill charge.

out did not help matters. The goal was attempted from an almost impossible position and failed.

Before the meeting adjourned the question of a loan fund for tile benefit of students was disscussed at lengthand the matter taken under advisement by a committee with instructions to report at the next meeting. The Home-coming is here as an annual event and next year will doubtless be held on the day of the game with Central who comes here to play. ening the boys of Francis defeated the team of the Frisco railroad of that place. A feature ot the football game not on theprogram was the elephant parade JUST before the game. A few lively spirits went down to the quarters of a traveltng show tbat is spe»ding a few weeks here preparatory to going into winters quarters and elll::aged the services of the huge quadrupeds. They rode the rnonsrcrs about the streets and paraded in front of the bleachers before the game started to the immense delight of the smaller fry and the arnusement of tile grown-ups.

Captain Paul Young ran the team from the quarterback position and his generalship was without a flaw. His handling of punts was a little unfortunate but he was not used to that work nor any work for three weeks previous to the game. He had 'been out of all scrimmage with a fractured rib. Every man on the team performed well. Chaney and Craig, the sixteen year old halfbacks played like old timers and we see where our back field will be on a par ,...ith the line another season. Gamson and Houpt played their usual reliable game on the wings, Otis scoring the touchdown and John playing like a demon on defense. Tr.e result .was always "somebody tome" when Southeastern made an assault on Krieger or McKoy, tackles or Ferris or Bishop, guards. Stegall at center passed the ball well and was a giant on defense although his aggressiveness drew a few penalties for uffside play. The Southeasterners played a good g;Jme and with their extra .weight furnished plenty of oppositton. Their plav was characterized by frequent roughness that threatened at times to break out the bonds of what might be termed ago gresslveness. Captain Pall I Young, Dee Krieger and Pleas Ferris received the honor of being placed on the Oklahoman's All-Normal team. The officials in charge were:' Referee, Wallace, Oklahoma; Umolre, Orr, Oklahoma; head linesman, Lackey, Trinity .

The meettnz is important, not only because of the excellent program to be rendered but because, in many rerespects, it should set the race for succeeding meetings of the associa-

"Don't Bite tlte Hanel That's Feeding You." Last night, as I lay a-sleeping, A wonderful dream came to me. I saw Uncle Sammy weeping For his children from over the Sea; They had come to him, friendless and starving, When from tyrant's oppression 'they fl-ed, But now they abuse and revile him, Till at last in just anger he said: (CHORUS) "1f you don't like your Uncle Sammy, Then go back to your home o'er the sea, '1'0 'the land from where you came, Whatever be it's name, B ut don 'bt ' e ungra'tefu I to me! If you don't like the stars in 0 d GI . I. ory If you don't like the Red, White an d BJue, Then don't act like the cur in the story, Don"t bite the hand that's feed~ iug you !" You recall the day you. landed, How I welcomed you to my shore? When you came here empty handed, And allegiance forever you swore? I gathered you close to my bos~ om, Of food and clothes you got both So when in trouble I need you, You will remember your oath: (CHORUS) --.By Thomas Hoier

Victor Murdock is rigM out of Europe from the scenes of war, a more unconquerable insurgent than ever if possible. He was never pale. Before the intrepid Roosevelt he was a "red insurgent; before the temporizLa.Follette he was 'a plunging war horse. "Uncle Joe" well-c. Murdock was the first man whose sarcasm and staire made Uncle joe Gannon crouch in his seat and pull his lapels about his neck to keep the chills away. Murdock was the only 'man whose speeches made Uncle Joe lose regularly at poker- "for a week. 'When Murdock came about, Aldrich dropped out 'of the conversation. He could not bear Murdock's fierce attacks on shows, even in private. Murdock is first of all a fighter of injustice and second of all a fighter of shams. . Besides his 'brilliance in principle and stand, he is an orator, a sincere orator, an orator with common sense; he informs; he inspires; 'he thrills. On top of all this Murdock is a big-hearted human. He sees even the tiny leaf and flower in its crevice of the rock and mertar wall of life. Tn personal appearance 1ir. M'urdOCKis superb. He is 'built like a football tackle, bas fiery eyes, a fed head and a smile that is big enough and bright enough to match. His voice is like a cornet that can heard a?o,:e a .to:nado. and hIS manner IS irresistible, Mr. Murdock is the most distinguished visitor Ada has had in many a day.

Versatility is one of the great features of A. F. Thaviu, who is . to present the-Grand Opera Cavalleria Rusticiana, with his famous 'band and opera organization. This young Russian band leader has won an enviable place in modern music with his vigorour methods 'and his tasteful programs. Combined with ibis power as a conductor, he is a cornetist of great ahili'ty, and his playing has been praised in the highest terms by some of the best critics in the country, notably William Lines Hubbard, the great musical critic of 'the Chicago Tribune. As a program maker, Mr. Thaviu is without a peer or a rival. He seems instinctively to know what the people want and he can vary his program to suit Your WMk Next Yea1' 'any gatJhercing, from the frivoAll in all, 'it is confidently beIons crowds at summer parks Iieved that th-e teacher who atwho seek nothing but the gayer tends the summer term will get and lighter melodies, to the morel a great deal of practical good

THE "EYES OF A SCHOOL Efficiency In the SCllOOI room Is essentially dependent upon the condition of the "Eyes of the School." In nine cases out of ten, inefficiency o~ the eyes Is due to errors of refraction that fitted lenses will correct. and such ocrrectton is the proreeetonal field of the Optometrist. petecuve eyes impair the work of the school, and' public tunds are wasted in carrytng on the educational program.

We would specially recommend to readers an article in the Educational Review for February entitled, "Why Teach?" \Vrl.tte? h~' a. teacher, it is an enthustastte tnvttatton to young people to become teachers. Mr. Parsons says he teaches school because he wants to and because he takes a keen joy in it. Another of his reasons for being a teacher IS that he likes his independence. He says "I go illy way, eubuinttug to minor reguiauons, but within uuerar bouudartaa rule over a kingdom 'wher-e none can say me nay-the kingdom of a child's spirit which I.direct in illy own way, 01' better, which T meet unhampered as his friend With friend,"by interlopers He also prizes independence in the expenditure of time. And finally, he finds his life not so unprofl table financially as some believe. On an exceedingly modest salary he has been able, wtth the help of his family, to organize an economic' home and to make provision for hts family's future. The evidently keen enjoyment which Mr, Parsons finds in his protessjen is in refreshing contrast to the plaintive account sometimes rendered by teach, er a of their trials and hardships. The young boys and girls of Amernow have the most wonderful opportunity in this history of the natlcn to show their mettle and develop the best there is in them. The war has created many vacancies in every line of work and these places must be filled by the young people. It is now up to them to thoroughly qualify themselves for these positions and establish themselves. When the 501dier boys come home they will be tea

The rapid changes in modern life and the constant introduction of new ideas Into all pl'Ofessions has made the modern magazine one of the greatest forces in our lire today. Every profession and every industry ll\llllbers its pal'Ucnlar jonrnals by tens and frequently by hundreds. Reference bool,s and textoooks, bowever complete they may 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 keep abreast of the times and any person who would be successful should have and read as many jOllrnals pertaining to his profession as possible. 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 the educational fjeld. Many of the verr best ones are sold at a. very l'easonable 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.o select tho best on account of the large field from which she may choose. , The library receives a representative selection of educatlo'nal journals and offe,'s you an ,opportunity to investigate their merits. Our library has made anallgeruents to take subscriptions to any of these periodicals that you may wish. In the case of many of the magazines we can make some attractive pt:lces, 10wer in may cases than YOll CO\lldget from the publishers. We have done this in order that we may be of service to you in your magazine selection and also that Ollr library may receive the benefit of the commission thst usually goes to the book or magazine agent. H YOU are going to take some ma.gazines, and you s!Jould, see us before yon leave school and let the library have ,your order. E. C, WILSON. .-:'

Craig's punting was a feature, It was not l'emarl~able for distance but was exeedingly accurate, Craig's crashes into the line also brought first down at times' when it seemed almost certain that the bail would go over to the opponents, Newberry at quarter ran the team well. His plucl, worlt on defense also created great enthusiasm on tbe bleachers.

At a meeting of the faculty of the East Central State Normal held 'I'uesday afternoon, it was unanimously agreed ttiat there Should be erected on the campus or In the building a fitting memorial in honor or East Central men who have joined the colors. The character and quality of the memorial wl11 depend somewhat on the amount of money raised for the purpose. An entrance archway wag agreed upon as perhaps the most suitable form for the memorial to take. An endowed scholarship was suggested, together with a bronze tablet on which would be inscribed the names 01' students who have become soldiers. More than three hundred former etudenta of the Normal School have anaweren the country's call, in addiuon to the one hundred who are members or the Student's Army Training COI'pS, making a total of more than four hundred men. The plan is to invite contributions trom the teachers of East Central District and from present and former students of the school.
