uic purely local in nature. Per
haps no city in the state has inore^
distinctive problems than Nor-
man. It is the center of the state
University and as such has many
problems that other cities do not
have. Among these might be
mentioned:
The problem of a larger school
attendance in proportion to popu-
lation than nearly any other city in
the state. Manv people come here
to educate their older childr. nin
■the University and so their young-
er children go to the public school.
This ulaces a neayv burden upon
our educational system.
Norman has a particular prob-
lem in respect to health, as stud-
dents come here from all over tlv
state in large numbers, go t>> their
homes during vacations ami ulien
1 return again. This makes the city
r:';rly 'abject to receiving
contagious diseases from othei
portions of the state not having
strict quarantine regulations, and
also makes her particularly re-1
sponsible for the prevention of the
' spread of these diseases during va- ^
.cation times. For this reason,
lierhaps, Norman, should have a
different form of health organiza- j
tion than that outlined by the gen- ,
eral state law in regard to the or- , .
I dinary city without home rule. \ J
