In Experimental Stage.
The junior high school, still in its
experimental stages, is being tried
in variations all over the United
States: so it is difficult to say what
will be its final, most efficient form,
prefaced Mr. Weatherbee. He add-
ed that it is of great importance to
all who have children to educate,
however, so gave these as fundamen-
tal advantages to be found in all
junior high schools of merit.
'1 I he junior high allows a more
gradual chaug' from the methods
and subjects taught in elementary
school to those of the high school,
thus not discouraging pupils so
much and keeping them in school
longer.
"2-By making the subjects more
practical, this scheme of course
helps to fit the children better and
sooner for life in case they are
forced to quit school early.
"3-Thit plan makes it possible
fcr pupils who are briglit to finish
a high school diploma in eleven
years while the others are doing it
in twelve as all are compelled to do
in the old style school.
4-A junior high gives a talented
child opportunity for accomplish-

would not need. That might in-

Oklahoma City. A picture oi a chubby faced, happy American boy will
•©on any a menage of cheer and comfort to horn el t tarving children in
war-stricken Euroje The picture is that of Louis Ha -11, of Oklahoma City.
■hown above, it will gladden the hearts of many a hungry orphan because—
The othur day Q. D Halsell, of tbt Williamson-Hal >ll-Frazler company,
vholscale grocers of Oklahoma City, was asked to contribute to the fund
being raised by the Oklahoma State Jewish Relief Committee to relieve the
suffering of Europe's innocent war victims. He reached for his check book
to donate a nominal sum. and—but we shall let Mi. Halsell tell the rest
of ths story:
A* I was writing the check, I noticed the picture of my baby boy,
on Uu label of a package of cofTee on my desk,' said Mr. Halsell. "i
compared his happy, rosy countenance with the gaunt, drawn faced of the
pitiful little war oiphans whose pictures I had seen The thought came to
me that the picture of this oontented little American boy appearing on Louis
brand food sent abroad would do much to cheer the hearts of children who
see only the haggard faces of other hungry sufferers like themselves.
"That la why I decided to make my donation a supply of Louis coffee
and canned goods bearing the picture of my boy Louis—that and the thought
o: what it would mean to me if my own child should happen to be one of
those innocent, starving little children cast upon the mercy of the world."

elude special instruction in art, dram-
atics, music and athletics with those
of its own caliber, industrial training,
and innumerable other things.
Allows Choice.
"5-This arrangement will allow
free choice in education with the
view to training the child for some
special bread-earning job after leav-
ing school.
"6-By allowing teachers to in-
struct in certain special lines through
several grades, they have a chance tn
become experts and do more et'ii-
cient work in both recitation and
supervision of their pupils study.
Encourages Pupils
"7-A school on this plan can allow
over-grown pupils to be with others
of their own size and not discour-
age them so much that they will quit
as under the older plan in which the
whole grade must be kept so much
more closely in its work."
Mrs. S. W. Hogan, president.
Send It to the Laundry
Collars and shirts have doubled in price, yet the
laundering fo them has not advanced over 50 per cent.
Home family washing service has advanced nearly 100
per cent but laundry family washing service is available
o you at a very slight advance over 1914 prices.
Use your laundry more. The service is better than
ever, the price lower in proportion than almost anything
you buy.
