his contribution to his city.
Merwlne Is dean of the school and
the students are Us officers. Several
members of the Okmulgee bar help
the enterprise by teaching subjects
with which they are most familiar.
The classes meet In the basement of
the city library.
Twenty-six graduates have taken
the slate bar examination and only
one of them has failed. Mls Jewell

INDIVIDUALISM
By THOMAS ARKXE CLARK
Ds'sn of Man, Unlvtrilly of
Illinois.
Sawyer Is an Individualist, what
ever that term may mean, or nt least
that Is what he
thinks ho is. He
Is very young, a
ts usually the
case with Individ
ualists, for as
one grows older,
ha see Hint one
cannot mark out
his path without
reference to the
right 'and pref
erences of oth
ers. It Is wisest
to yield to what
Is safest and best for the majority,
otherwise social chaos would result
Sawyer long to bo free, to express
his own personality without trammel
of law or regulation, lie wants all
tho comfort and privilege and pro
tection which civilisation afford
without being culled upon to respect
the hi and the convention which
hnvo made possible these condition
which be like so much.
lie Is quite opposed to our prenent
prohibition luwi, a many older men
are, and takes occasion to violate
them whenever opportunity offers.
"Shouldn't one respect a law," I ask
hint "even If Individually on may
not think It wise or necessary)"
"I don't think so he replies, "I
am the Judge of my own conduct."
"And If yon granted that privilege
to everyone else, n every generous
nmn would, what would he the effect
upon society?" I ask him.
lie hnd not thought that out. He
has little regard for the ten coin
ninndiiiciit. but he ha not yet, dur
ing his eighteen years, devised a bet
ter substitute for human beings gen
erally to follow, tn fuct he Is not
thinking of other human beings at all
but only of himself.
He belongs to an orgaidintlon
whose success and progress h'cnd
upon unity und co operation. When
he Joined, ns Is common In such
en', he look an ontli tn follow the
principles laid down In (he ritual, to
reiecl the authority of those In con
trol, to obey the regulations which ex
perience bus shown arc for the het
Interest of nil ennceriicil, and yet he
wants to l a law unto himself.
"Nobody going to tell me," be
serts, 'when I am to come In or when
I limy go nut. I am not hound to
do whut anyone else says. If I want
to take a drink, that's my lookout'. If
I don't wnnt to study or go to class
