THE AMERICAN'S CREED
“I believe in the United States of America ns a government of the
people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived fron
the consent of the governed; a democracy in u republic; a sovereign r.a
tion of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one und inseparable, eel..:
lished upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and homanit
for which American patriots sacrificed their live3 and fortunes.
“1 therefore believe It is my duty to my country to love it; to sup-
port its constitution; to obey it laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it
against all enemies.'’
THINK IT OVER—BEFORE YOU “KNOCK’
Critics of the Nowata city schools who took occasion to
“use their hammer” about the manner in which the schools
are conducted, have a fine opportunity this morning to pon-
der over their remarks, when they read that the commercial
department of the local school received three first places in
the state-wide contests held at Norman, in which all the
larger cities of the state participated.
It is a distinct honor to the Nowata schools, to Miss
Pauline Powell, head of the commercial department and her
students, to have three first place winners in such keen com-
petition as was evidenced at the Norman meet. It shows
that the local schools have been doing better work and that
the students have a higher degree of intellectuality than have
the students of Oklahoma City, '] ulsa, Muskogee and the
other large schools of the stale.
In addition to this high honor which lias been accorded
the local schools, the student body as a whole shows an in
crease in efficiency during the last twelve weeks, as can be
ascertained by reading ti e compilation of grades in anothci
column. This compilation shows that the average grade ot
the students compares very favorably with tlie grades of the
students of the A. & M. College. This report also shows
that twelve weeks ago thirty-five students in the high school
were making an average of 87 or better, while today this
number has been increased to fifty-two, an increase of sev-
enteen in twelve weeks’ time.
This merely goes to show that the Nowata city schools
must be doing some good work and that the criticism often
directed against the officials by people who know nothing
about w,hat the schools are doing is unwarranted.
’department is rendering valuable service in teaching domes-
tic science to the lassies and agricultural science to the lads
of the rural districts. There remain, however, many other
things to be done if the nation’s growing crop of human be-
ings is to become at maturity of the highest quality.
Rigid precautions are taken to save our grains, our vege*
tables, our fruit trees, pur livestock and poultry from blights
and pests. We maintain embargoes to prevent the entrancs
of such foes of plant and animal life into the United States
We attack those entrenched in every manner that science can
uggest. Dirigible balloons fly over the forests of New Eng
land spraying the trees with poison to save them from the
gypsy moth. In the South airplanes scatter insecticide over
the cotton fields to save them from the boll weevil. In
eastern Pennsylvania wasps have been imported to give bat-
tle to the Japanese beetle. For a year or more no circus
was allowed to enter California, lest it might spread the hoof
and mouth disease.
But in the cities we often are neglectful of the crop of
boys and girls to the extent of dealing leniently with the
vicious elements that would prey on them. Cabarets of
thady character are allowed to operate, and boys and girls
scarcely out of their teens visit them to the corruption of their
morals. Gambling is tolerated and boys are enticed into
the game. Disorderly houses and speakeasies are winked at
by the police in sonic of our larger cities.
If the citizens regard the children as a crop worth saving,
;hoy must demand action against the parasites and enemies
that prey on them.
OUR POPULATION GAIN.
I HIGHER EFFICIENCY
SHOWN BY STUDENTS
FOR A FINER NOWATA.
In May, nature gives the signal to spruce up. Her
breezes blow last season's dead leaves about till they are
shredded, and her rains rot them into soil. New green
sprouts emerge from the ground io cover the wreckage oi
the former year. Earth washes and purifies herself. Ana
man, who after all, is a part of nature, feels a like urge. Ho
appears in new clothes and feels a desire to make his
surroundings as clean and gorgeous as his person.
This year the job isn't so hard, because we have beer
favored by good weather and the urge has arrived sooner
than usual. A good deal of the task has already been ae
complished. Already, lawns are smooth and green flower-
beds are trim, hedges are pruned, shrubs, trees and flowers
have been planted. Nevertheless the arrival of May should
give all those who feel the urge ot spring the final impetus
to make a complete job of it this time—to leave no corner un
explored; to remove the last stick, the final tin can, the uiti
mate little pile of ashes; to make the home spotless, the
garage immaculate, the yard a velvet turf, the beds rake-
combed like a slick sheik’s hair.
Pride, beauty and health alike demand that the job be
complete. There is also the pocket to consider, and it must
be remembered that a small amount spent in paint is likely
to save a large amount in rotting wood and corroded pipe.'
and gutters*. Economy lies not in stinting, hut in saving.
Clean up your premises. The iob well done means
pleasure, health, comfort, happiness, personal pride civic
pride, better citizenship—a finer Nowata.
An estimate places the population of the United States
on July 1, next, at 113,500,000. This would imply an in-
crease of nearly 8,000,000 in about five and one-half years.
The basis on which the increase is reckoned is not stated,
but at best it can be little more than a guess, though it may
■ i - ■"'crrnK We have been accustomed to enormous
jpulation in each decennial period, but it is prob-
ible (iii.i the proportionate gain hereafter will be smaller
than has prevailed for many decades. The reduction in im-
migration is destined to have an effect and the growing ten-
dency toward smaller families will operate also to reduce the
percentage of increase.
As in the past, some localities will make great gains,
but it will be rather at the expense of other places less fa-
,’ored than due to the birth rate and the addition of those
from other lands come to seek a home here. Most of the
estimates of future population are predicated on the asaump-
ion that the increase will be proportionate to that of the past,
his may be an error. The two factors operating toward a
educed percentage of increase are likely to be accentuated
n the future.

A quaint conception is that of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in referring to the boys and girls of the
*}K * crop. Still the analogy is not so far-fetched as
at first blush it may seem, and if tha citizenship were as zeal-
ous for the welfare of the children as it is for some agricul-
tural crops, there would soon be an improvement in social
conditions.
