Near the bow of the craft rises a abort mast. abont feet tall, and on thia, man aged by tho simpleat of rigging, rnna a tiny lateen sail containing only four feet of canvas. Captain Crapo will sail his craft nn der tho flag of tho American Volnn teera, of which he ia an nrdent soldier ofthecross.

The gen eral nrchitectural idea of Mr. Havomoy- er's own house ia that of nn Italian yilla. the siniplicity of which may be jndged when it i8 atated that it is to cost only $11,000. The villaa will be all of thia same design und will be covered with ataff, the same as the buildings at the World's fair. In front of each house and extending to tho wator's edge will be a court. rarrounded by n low wall cr hedge. and having between ita pnthways flower beds. fountaina and other ndorninents. Tbis work was begun by Mr. Havemey er in 1897. The amount of progress Qndo in the lastseason warrant& the bo lief that the entire place will bo ready for occupancy by the coniing summer.

Nowhere in this country has the do velopment of the diatrict school, that rital index to the march of civilization, been eo rapid aa in the territory of Oklahoma. Uaually the proce'ss is a slow one. The log cabin school haa been in the habit of coming on the sccne long after tho settlement was well nn der way. It remained for yeurs beforo it was replaced by tho framo bnilding, and thia sufflced for gencrations. But in Oklahoma the evoiution was comparntively aa awift as the rush of tho booiners acrosa tho prairie after the stnrting gun had been fired. Tho school mnatcr raced iri the van. Tho first pub lic bnilding to bo erected in Oklahoma was n Bclitiolhouse. True, it was merely a 8od but, snch as ia frequontly built on tho prairiea. but it serve'd tho pnr poso for the time.. In the rush ncross the boundary Uno behind tho schooltencher came his echolara. In pioceer days tho Echqlars were not so prompt in arriviug. Bnt in Oklahoma civilization grcw aa a plnnt nnder the wnnd of a magichtn. Tho second schoolhonso in tho terri tory was a moro pretcntious affaitv. 'Jt waa a log cabin. Today Oklahoma has many fine buildinga devoted to educa ticnal purposes, althongh only a few yeara have elapsed since its countiea were desolato atretchea of prairie. In n recent report to the secretary of tho iri terior the governor of Oklahoma' says: "When we think of the nenrly 100, 000 boys and girla of school nge in the territory nnd of tho moro than 2,000 tenchcrs, then it is that we-begin to have soino conception of the necessity of proper orgnnization and system in tho management of a echool 'syatcm which gunrnnteea an education to every child, nnd thls Oklahoma haa to an nn uaunl degree. "There are in tho territory 1,879 school diatricts, with scboolhouees vnl ued at $454,574.08 nnder the territorinl insuranco law. This does not inclnde valno of school property in citiea."

In tho countiea where there are any number of colored children separnte Bchoola nre maintained, nnd no child ia without school privileges of the very best character. No community on earth ever took bo early a stand for higher education or madoso, rapid progresa in nn educa tional way as Oklahoma. The firRt pub lio institiitiona located in tho territory were inatitutions of learning, tho firat publid; buildinga qrocted were collegea. and the first nnd only bondod indebted nesa of the territory waa incurred .for the erection of iheae collegea. Other terrltoriea of tho Union have been content gehbrally to'waHt fdr state bood before establishing collegea- and nnivcrsitics, but Oklahoma ' had tho youth to educato and rose to tho emer gency nt once.
