Our cosmopolitan and progressive citizenship representing every stratum of American life has builded here in less than fifty years what other commonwealths have not exceeded in two centuries. Oklahomans have already enacted the whole pageant of Ameri- can civilization. We have aggressively constructed our economic, social and cultural institutions with progressive vision and pride. As students of the Wmdrow Wilson junior High School you have a rich educational inheritance from the pioneers who encouraged the establishment and support of schools. The Oklahoma of tomorrow will be what the pupils like you who are now in our public schools make of it. I challenge you so tc equip yourselves for state citizenship that you may build well and enrich the inheritance which is yours from the founders of our great state.

In Ohio most of the last century intervened between the frontier days and the industrial age, but in Oklahoma one genera- tion broke out the sod and remained to build skyscraper and factory. There are Yancy Cravats in every Oklahoma town. The spirit of the frontier still lingers in the minds of men here though the physical frontier has suddenly been swept aside. So we find a curiosly sharp conflict as the old free thinking, free living, inlisidualistic, frontier-mind meets the more conservative, methodical mind of a new born industrialism. Oklahoma thus becomes the political experiment station for the nation. But there are strong elements in both types of minds and the welfare of the State and perhaps of the Nation depends upon the free, forward-looking spirit of the pioneer bending itself to the creation of a planned social order in which both Man and Things shall count, but count only in the proportion tc which they are able to contribute to enriched and enobled living on the part of all mankind.
