Her Educator (1912)
"The Kid." Known by no other name, is a daughter of the range and pal of the rough, big hearted men that ride it. Her father meets his death in an attempt to protect her from the insults of a repulsive saloonkeeper. Before his death "The Kid's" father insists, to her utter horror, that she secure above all other things, an education. After the killing "The Kid" follows and shoots the saloonkeeper and then, absolutely alone, with only a few dollars, she sets out on horseback to fulfill her father's dying wish by gaining entrance to the State University. While riding along a precipice her horse stumbles and she is thrown to the ledge below, where she lies unconscious until Joe Emory, a young Irish sheep herder, finds her and nurses her back to life. Two happy weeks are spent together by the young couple, so strangely introduced, and sad are their hearts when the time for parting comes, for "The Kid" is determined to carry out her father's last desire. She arrives at the University finally, and in company with a new found cowboy friend she applies for admission to the "learnin' factory." The faculty refuse her request, and her cowboy friend proceeds to lick the whole bunch of "wisdom pilots" one by one. "The Kid" and her pal are arrested, but are later set free and she loses no time in getting back to the range and Joe Emory.
