NORMAN'S CIVIC MOVEMENT
A movement is on foot in Norman,
the state university town, which has
for its purpose the making of Nor-
man into such a civic and social cen-
ter as to make it a leader of the state
in this respect. At a meeting last:
Wednesday evening in the parlor of
the Christian church, this movement1
war formally inaugurated. The (ratti-
ering was attended by representatives!
of the various social, civic and relig- j
ious organizations of the town, and
much enthusiasm was in evidence.
The movement will be put into
practical lines in the early fall, when]
the citizens of the town and students]
of the university will hold rallies and
then take up the study of conditions j
and remedies for them. It is the pur-
pose of this social service movement
to take up in a practical way such |
topics as amusement question, sanita- j
tion, beautifying the town, town fi-|
nances, business integrity, town and|
student politics, social and business
co-operation between Norman and vi-
cinity, social vice, the public institu-|
tions in Norman, health program in j
public schools, etc.
The educational value of such- a |
movement will mean much to both thel
citizens of Norman and the students
of the university. The officers and!
steering committee consist of Dr. J. L. j
Day, president; Dr. H. C. Gossard, sec-j
retary; Rev. D. A. Wickizer, chairman j
of citizens' committee; Leon Phillips, j
chairman of students' committee; Hon.i
H. O. Miller, chairman of rural com-
mittee; Dr. W. W. Phelan, chairman
of instruction committee. Dr. Ohern i
and Miss Rosetta Briegle are acting
in the places of Rev. Wickizer and Mr.
Phillips, who are away at present.

NEW FIRE HOUSE
It is the purpose of Mayor Lindsay
and the city council to build a new
fire house on the lot on East 'Gray
street. If they cannot sell the old
structure, they will probably use some
of the material in it on. the new one.
but practically all will be new. It will
be of galvanized iron, 20x42 feet with
an addition at north end for sleeping
apartments and reading room for fire
boys. The idea is to build as cheaply
as possible, as it is thought the struc-
ture will be only a temporary one.
San Francisco, July 20.—Mrs. Cath-
arine Booth-Clibborn, daughter of
the Salvation Army founder, the late
General William Booth, who is an
evangelistic worker in London, spoke
before the international purity con-
gress here today on "Motherhood,"
which she declared "is the finest of
arts—but a lost art."
She said:
"Society has developed, especially
within the last thirty years, a vast ar-
my of women who will not be women; j
married women who avoid children;
incapable mothers who shirk the ob- j
ligations and responsibilities of moth-;
erhood. We have women who are ad-1
mirable flirts, coquets and talkers, j
splendidly efficient in all domains—,
business, science and art. All pro-,
fessions are now open to her. She
can act, dance, paint, sing, type, keep ,
books, defend a ca.-e at the bar, or be ;
a policewoman. She can back horses, j
drink, gamble and smoke; and, now j
be as capable a soldier as any man!
under Miss Colonel Charlesworth, who1
is training troops of women for Lord
Kitchener. In fact, she can do any-
thing and everything except fulfill (
the highest of all destinies, the bring-1
ing forth of beautiful children and |
the making of them into men and
women who will bless humanity. j
"Woman's neglect and denial of her
highest vocation is bearing bitter
fruit. We see it in the white slave
traffic more thaii anywhere else. We
see the fruits in the hospitals. We
see it in the reformatories. Some of
the finest material for the making of
useful lives is to be found there, run
to seed.—all through the lack of
mothers.
"Woman is not altogether to blame
for her failure to fulfill her destiny.
The world has made and worships this
false woman.
"Motherhood was the first thing to
go in Greece and Rome. The emperor
Augustus saw his empire expire
through the white slave traffic;
France and Belgium are going in the
same way. The same canker is also,
eating at the core of the national life |
of America. Since coming to the J
States I have been struck by the
frightful tragedies in young lives—j
all for the want of a mother who has
won the confidence and friendship of
her children."
