Constitutional Am endment
No. 72 providing for theconsoli-
dation of the State Senate and
House of Representatives to be
called the House of Representa-
tives and reduced from 143
members to 80 members, and
providing for a commission of 15
members to be chosen from
among the 80, is being present-
ed to the voters of Oklahoma in
the form of an initiative peti-
tion. While it has in tbe face
of it the reducing of expense
which is indeed a great burden
to tbe citizens of the state, yet
we are suspicious that the '*No.
5” would make a nice little ma-
chine within itself and would
suggest that you read this peti-
tion thoroughly before you sign
it or favor it.
Senator Robert L. Owen is
Av Daily absent
This shows a splendid attend,
auce record tbe highest in the
history of the*city. The absent
record is tqually gratifying be-
ing ten less than ihe previous
year, Tbe latter indicates a high
degree of efficiency and repre-
sents what in a business would
a reduction of op.erating ex-
penses and an increase in busi-
ness done at the same time.
Another indication of increased
efficiency is the reduced numb*er
ofTailures to pass to the next
higher grade. Only forty-four
(44) were reported at the close
of the term and several of these
are pupils known to be below
normal in mental ability, others
failed for good reasons beyond
the control of the teachers.
The departmental plan of
teaching was inaugurated in the
seventh and eighth grades last
September with the consent of
the board of education. The
pupils remained in their respec
live rooms and the teachers
changed to meet their classes.
The pupils get the benefit of a
study hour in nearly every sub-
ject just before the period for
recitatiun. The plan has proved
very successful, being pleasing
alike to pupils, patrons and
teachers.
The comparison jf the high
school enrollment and attend
ance with former years is as fol-
lows:
1013-14 10J2-13 7yr. av
153 110 105
111 S2 70
The increase in attendance
here is about 35 per cent, and iii
enrollment 40 per cent. While
S ich a showing is very gratify-
ing when viewed in the light of
the public appreciation, yet it
brings with it the responsibility
of caring for a great number
with inadequate facilities. More
room is needed badly to do jus
tice to both grade and high
school pupils. When one hun-
dred. thirty five or more pupils
must occupy the space which
can only accommodate one hun-
dred in ordinary comfort, school
work and discipline must fall
below standard.
Several remedies have been
proposed to relieve the crowded
condition without erecting a
building distinctly for -high
school use but they do not sat s-
fy in any adequate degree the

much as possible in order to lim-
it the expense of supervision by
principals.
5 The demands of modern
education for practical work iD
domestic science and arts and in
manual training can only be met
by specially, constructed rooms
and special equipment
6. Under the present condi-
tions any further addition of
teachers or exteusion of the
school system even under the
most urgent necessity is impos-
sible.
We are now occupying four
11 jors of the Alcott building
with actual school work and
three flaors of the Horace Mann.
These buildings are pushed tc
their utmost to meet our present
needs and even the ordinary
growth of the city will bring
embarrassment in our etTor s to
care for the pupils.
The people are Interested in
the cost of the schools aud 1
give herp, with the cost of in-
struction per pupil
The average monthly cost of
instruction per pupil in the
grades is $2; in the high school
$3; the average for all pupils in
average attendar ce is $2.25.
These figures show an economi-
cal use of the funds being lower
than that reported for the state
or the entire country. It is
much lower than most cit'.es of
our state.
I wish to make acknowledg-
ment of the iStillwater Woman's
club in making another appro-
priation for play ground equip-
ment. The schools are now
resonably well supplied with a
good variety of material for
play erected in a safe and sub-'
stantial manner. I feel that •
special thanks are due the club
for their generous support in
this field.
I desire to meution the Hearty
support which has been given
me from tbe .teaching force..
They having been uatiring m
their efforts, and .aitbfu, in an
unusual degree. As a bedy!
they are un»ui;p*»»ed »** any'

scholarship and in devotion to*
