ficulties need be profitlcssly fought,
less congestion lie encountered and
little need he tolled after the students
arrive, Superintendent A, S. I aulkner
announces.
"The reason i> simply this," lie .-aid.
"the problems have all been worked
out this summer."
Ready November 1
J'^o ward building* are now under
construction that will be ready by No-
vember first. These would have been
completed some time before that date
but delay in shipment of construction
material has set back the progress c
the work.
These two buildings will be by far
the best schools ever constructed in
Norman, 1 aulkner pointed out. There
will lie eight full size class rooms in
each and an auditorium to be used
for assemblies, entertainments and
meetings of patrons' clubs.
Full Eight Grades
One is under construction 011 South (
Flood street and the other 011 I las-
sen Boulevard. Both are to be fully
equipped and have all eight grades of
the grammar school course.

LONGER SKIRTS FOR WOMEN
Irom the Xew York Herald
Fashion, prodded bv the suitmak-
er>. has decided that in the autumn
women shall wear skirt> 3 inches
longer than those decreed for spring
and early summer days. The tact
is. that the criticised, styles have not
harmed anybody. % Woman has not
been affected adversely in thought
or deed by their peculiarities. Long-
er skirts will not improve her. how-
could they, when woman is perfec-
tion ?
She—-You're vise, old son. She'd
probably construe it as' a proposal
and sue you for breach of promise.
nouueed later. J aulkner said
Grammar school students who have
cards of promotion arc urged to pur-
chase books at their earliest conven-
ience, he said, in order that conges
tion and the problem of assigning
those who have no cards may be
reduced to a minimum.
Eighteen to Jefferson
Eighteen teachers have been assign
ed to the Jefferson school this year, it
was announced. The Washington
school will have eleven. Each ot the
two new buildings will be supplied
with eight, making forty-five in all
for the grammar course
Last year the same grades were
handled by thirty-three, twenty in the
Jefferson and thirteen in the Wash
ington school. The High School will
have twenty-two instructors.
Suggest a Name
"J would like to mention to the pa-
trons ot these two new schools, said
the superintendent, "that they be
thinking ot a name tot their respective
schools, it is customary that a new
building receive a name, such as that
oi some man of letters or a statesman
It the name is agreed upon in time
it may be cut in stoue upon the build-
ing. A good way tor this to be
brought about is for the suggestion to
be mailed to me and I will present it
to a subsequent meeting of the board
ot education."
Temporary Buildings Planned
Plans are under way tor temporary
relief concerning congested conditions
in the high school department, he con-
tinued. An annex will be started on
the high school grounds to have four
rooms which will materially relieve
the crowded conditions in certain of
the departments. Construction on thL
building will begin next week, it was
predicted.
A gymnasium is needed tor the ath-
letic department and building will be-
gin in time for the Opening 01 school.
1 here will be no expensive improve
meats this year, Faulkner pointed out,
nee the high school building itselt
is inadequate to the needs ot tile 5UU
students who are expected this year
1 he present is to be idken care ot
temporarily for a new high school
will have to be erected in the near
future, he pointed out.
Expect 500 Students
The enrollment in the high school
last year was 415 and at ieast 5UU
will register this year. A correspond-
ing increase is expected ill the grade
schools. A date tor enrollment in the
high school department will be set lor
the week beiore the opening.
-New courses to be ottered in this!
department are one each in public
speaking, trigonometry, sociology and
community civics. The music depart-
ment will be entirely adequate this
3ear, Faulkner continued, and the
school baud has already received an
invitation to play lor two days at the
state tair in September, .\iiss Ger-
trude Misener will continue to have
charge ot the boys' and girls '.ee
clubs.
New Faculty Added
.Several departments have been
strengthened by the addition of ut *
lucult3 members. These arc one
hall-tune member in the department
or mathematics, science, one member
