MEDICAL INSPECTION
The provisions of the school medi
cal inspection bill now pending- ir
the Oklahoma legislature are as fol-
lows:
House Hill No. 209:
Be it enacted by the people of
the State of Oklahoma:
Section 1. The State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction and
the State Commissioner of
Health are hereby athorized and
empowered to jointly collect data
pertaining to the general health
conditions of the children in the
public schools of Oklahoma, and
to preserve such regulations as
may be necessary to protect and
conserve the health of children
in the public schools.
Section 2. No public funds
shall be expended for the support
tand maintainance of any school
where the school district boards,
or boards of education fails or
refuses to comply with the regu-
lations above provided for.
Section 15. Should any teacher
fail or refuse to comply with the
regulations provided for in
Section One of this Act, his or
her certificate and contract shall
become null and void and the
school district board or board of
education shall be personally
liable for paying such teacher
from the public school funds and
shall be otherwise liable as
otherwise provided by law for
misappropriating public funds.
The session is nearing its end,1
however, and as there will be bitter
and strenuous opposition to this bill
it is thought it has very little chance
of passing. Many petitions against
it are going in from all over the
state, as the different schools of
medicine are at loggerheads over
it, as well as those who oppose this
class of legislation.
LOST: Child's diamond ring. Liberal
reward. Finder please leave at

other states. Director C. W. Shan-

vention, said that more than 200

Many papers were read by geolo-
gists of other states, including one
by Chas. F. Kirk, New Mexico's state
geologist, who is an Oklahoma gradu-

versity were Dr. C. H. Taylor, Irwin

OZARK TRAIL MEETING
At the Court House in Norman on
Tuesday Night, Feby 13—Col
Harvey to Be Here-
Col. "Coin" Harvey, Ozark Trail
promoter and good road enthusiast,
will be here on Tuesday night, Feby
13th, and meet the people of Norman
and Cleveland county at the court
house at 8 o'clock. The possibility
of swinging the Trail east and west
through Cleveland county is very
promising, but it depends largely
upon your presence at this meeting
and the interest manifested.
Col. Harvey says: "The interest
shown by the farmers as well as the
business men along this proposed
route will have much to do with es-
tablishing this road."
He is making this visit to see if
you are interested.
Let us show him by being present
at this meeting.
Norman Chamber of Commerce.
WHAT 1 KNOW
I know I can do as I please. At
least 1 can always refuse. Hence I
know that I am responsible for my
actions. I will accept this responsibil-
ity and play the man. I will not be
ever seeking excuses for my weak-
ness.
I know 1 do not understand all the
secret springs of the acts of others,
hence I will be charitable in my
judgments.
1 know that what I know is to what
I do not know as one is to infinity,
hence I will try always to be teach-
able.
1 know that happiness depends
more upon my thoughts than upon
what happens to me, hence I will
strive to control and adjust myself,
instead of complaining of circum-
stances.
I know that the world is managed
by a power and a will not of myself
and greater than myself, hence I will
try to understand and conform to it.
I know I cannot cheat nor evade the
laws of Nature, hence I will seek to
find out what they are and obey
them.
I know I have limitations, and
that it. is quite as important to under-
stand them as it is to know my
capacity.
I know that life is sweet to the
healthy-minded, and therefore I will
reject summarily any creed oropinion
that degrades or mocks at life.
I know what love is. I do not al-
ways know what is right or wrong,
nor what is wise or unwise. There-
fore I can safely love everybody, and
safely regulate nobody.
I know that suspicion is a disease
of faith, jealousy is a disease of
egotism, and envy is a disease of
small natures; these I will avoid.
I know I can control and shape my
tastes, my desires and my thoughts,
and I will not allow myself to be
dominated by these.
I know it is better to be just than
to be charitable.
I know that no sentiment, no feel-
ing, is of value unless it enters into
the will and is expressed in action.
I know that I will get from this
world the equivalent only of what I
give to it.
I know that, whatever God may be,
a constant effort to do right is the
only way to secure his approval.
Whatever wrong 1 have committed,
he becomes my friend when I begin
to do right.

CIVIC TALK—AFTER
FIVE YEARS STUDY
After five years' study and hard
labor, serving the Norman Chamber
, of Commerce to the best of our abil-
ity in trying to brighten up Norman,
in trying to induce other to come to
Norman and live by making our town
attractive by trying to make out town
citizens better contented and more
proud of the privilege of living in
, Norman, we feel that the time has
come to hear whether or not you
want the work continued.
We are not wanting to continue
our part of the work, acting as chair-1
man of the Civic Committee and
standing out on the firing line of I
public criticism, or praise, just as [
the case may be. We are willing to
retire now, either in disgrace or
praise, according to the record made.
These thoughts are induced because
we are human and the body grows
tired, and the mind and body must
be active if the work is continued,
and it would be so much easier to sit
down and rest, yet we do not want to
live in a town where people do not
care for the credit and appearance of
their town. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty; keeping eternally at
it is the only way of making a suc-
cess of anything, and yet we are
ready to stop working for Norman if
the people say so. We are your ser-
vant and not adviser.
We want to give the people, the
tax-payers of Norman, some in-
formation before we quit the job of
trying to help beautify Norman. We
have been quite a close obsrever in
the work done where public money
| was used to pay the bills, and you,
as taxpayers should know all about
1 it. You should know what was
bought with your money and where
, the goods are that was paid for.
I Wo are going to talk plain, and
only do so to give you information
that you can think about, as every
tax-payer should. We have no
criticisms for anyone. This is not a
j personal matter, it is a public ques-
| tion and enters into city affairs as
[ any other department of public af-
fairs.
It is the tax-payers' business and
privilege to know how the "Park
I Fund" is spent and it would be well
for everyone to think about this mat-
ter now. When you know the facts
prepare your mind to consider a[
change in the way our parks have)
been managed in the past. We be-1
lieve that a better way can be found
and will offer a plan that you can
consider, and either accept or reject,
the plan. In that way you will get to I
thinking more about Parks and their j
management and that alone will be j
j worth a good deal to the citizens and
! tay-payers of Norman.
[ We have no ax to grind. We have
no friends to reward and no enemies
to punish. We have no property in-
terests to be affected. We neither
want to buy or sell. It is for Norman
as a whole city that we are trying
to help, and not looking backward
but to the fuure. Will you kindly help
us in the work?

CLASSIFIED COLUMN
The most interesting and most
widely read part of the Transcript is
its Classified Department. You read
it yourself, so you may know that
others do likewise. It tells the wants
of the community, what people have
to sell or what they want to buy, or
rent or anything along that line.
Terms are very reasonable. Try a
classified liner. The average price is
only 25 cents for three insertions,
and a "liner" might make you many
dollars.

Don't work till you're weary, you always can quit;
If your job is too tedious, forsake it;
Some fellow that's filled with a little more grit
Is always willing to take it.
He'll do all your work, and a little bit more,
And grin and keep on when he's tired,
Without getting grouchy, or peevish, or sore,
And he'll land in your job when you're fired.
Don't spend all your time at the beck of a boss;
If orders annoy you, why, stop.
Some other young fellow will come right across
And do all the work in the shop.
He'll settle right down to the gruelling grind,
And do things that you wouldn't try.
And if you observe him, you'll presently find
That he'll be the boss, by and by.
Don't wear out your life in an effort to rise,
It is easy to stay where you are,
But just keep your eye on the fellow that tries
And you'll find he can go pretty far.
And maybe his name and his fame will adorn
Full many a newspaper headline
On the same cold and frosty and unhappy morn
That you take your place in the breadline!
