From Friday’s Dailv
The Anti-Horse Thief Association
completed its work Thursday evening

The following resolutions were

Resolutions
Resolved by the A F Div of the
A H T A in annual convention as-
sembled at Ada Okla Nov 21 st
1918 that we give thanks to the Su-
preme Ruler of the universe for His
divine providence which has guided
human destiny through the dark and
perilous days of privation suffering
and death which for more than four
years has enveloped such a large pro-
portion of the human race and we
congratulate our state and nation
upon the magnificent and glorious
part which under the wise guidance
of our matchless leader the
world’s greatest and most loved cltt-
sen we have been permitted to per-
form in the settl ment of the most ser
ious and far reaching problems with
which humanity has ever been con
fronted
Our hearts go out to those mem-
bers of our order or others whose
loved ones have made the supreme
sacrifice for human liberty and who
can mingle no more with us here
but who for all future time will be
gratefully enshrined in the memory
of every lover of liberty and justice
wherever found
We are proud of the part which
our organization has played in the
development of our state and in the
establishment and' maintalnance of
law and order throughout our juris-
diction Appreciating the distressing and
unusual trials which have so recent-
ly afflicted our people and from
which they are not yet fully relieved
we feel especially encouraged by the
number and by the enthusiasm and
determination of those attending this
meeting We realize that during the
past year the spirit of loyalty and
patriotic sacrifice which has so uni-
versally permeated our citizenship
supplemented by the vigilant and ac-
tive efforts of our various councils of
defense has relieved our organization
of much of the work heretofore re-
quired of it but realizing that the
councils of defense will soon dis-
band we urge upon our membership
everywhere the importance of reviv-
ing and perfecting the organization
of every Sub Order within our juris-
diction and we earnestly invite the
good citizens of every community not
now organized to join with us in per-
fecting such a chain of defense as
will protect every worker in the
peaceful enjoyment of the fruits of
his labors
Our thanks are extended to the
good citizens of Ada who so gener-
ously welcomed us to their city and
provided for our every want while
here
This is not our first visit to Ada
and appreciating the warm welcome
and considerate attention received
upon each occasion we trust that it-
shall not be our last
Respectfully submitted

THE HIIUI SHU
SOME REASONS WHY COUNTRY
SCHOOIX ARE NOT AS GOOD
AS TOWN SCHOOLS
First — ‘The average of the schools
in the country in this county is seven
and one-half months while the
average of the town cahool is nine
months This gives the children
one and one-half months the advan-
tage Second — In the town schools we
have employed one teacher to every
forty-seven pupils of scholastic pop-
ulation and in the country we have
one teacher to every sixty-three
pupils of scholastic population In
addition to this we have one grade to
each teacher in the town while in
the country the average Is four
grades of sixty-three pupils to each
teacher This would be equivalent
to one grade of two hundred and
fifty ppuplls Then the comparison
of the work of the two the country
teacher has the work of two hundred
and fifty two while the town teacher
has the work of forty-three The
only way to remedy this is by consol-
idation of schools thereby lessening
the number of grades to handle by
the country teacher Then this
would enable the teachers of the
country to be more proficient in her
work and to give her pupils more in-
dividual attention which is much
needed in our school work Consoli-
dation is impractical in certain parts
of the county but in the greater por-
tion of the county it i3 not imprati-
cal However I will discuss the con-
solidation of schools later
Third — The cost of the buildings
and equipment of the town schools
of this county is $225000 The
cost and equipment of the country
schools Is $125000 This would be
an average investment to each pupil
in the towns of $56 and in the coun-
try an average investment of $21
hence the sanitary conditions and
comforts of the children are much
better guarded in town than in the
country The cost as shown in the
estimates of the schools if the town
schools for this year is $105496 in
the country it is $81076 which gives
cost of $2562 per pupil In the town
and $1206 in the country To raise
this amount it requires an average of
fourteen mills in the town while af-
ter deducting the Federal Aid nine
mills in the country So we- gather
from these figures that the service
rendered is in proportion to what you
pay
It has been thoroughly demonstra-
ted in this county by a few districts
that the country can have just as san-
itary one two three or four teacher’s
school houses and ju3t as modern in
all of its improvements and epuip-
ments a3 the town The only ques-
tion is are you willing to pay the
price for these things which will
enable you to get the service?
Fourth — We have some as good
school house Wednesday night Pro-
teachers In the country school as in j ceeds for' the United War -Work
the town but generally speaking the fundj
boards in the towns are much more
cautious in the selection of teachers
than those in the country In the
town schools of this county all of the
teachers have had experience or
special training In their line of work
and have a first grade certificate or
Normal deploma All expeijenced
teachers third and ' second grade
teachers are in the country Here is
where we need our strongest and best
teachers from the simple fact they do
not have the aid of close supervision
like those of the towns
In concul3ion after taking Into
consideration the total cost of our
schools for this year which is $191-
783 not including the sinking fund
and interest we pay on the buildings
which i3 a large amount I want to
urge upon you as patrons and friends
interested in the education of your
children and citizenship of your
country to study these facts and con-
ditions gs we find them and to co-
operate together in making our
schools better from every viewpoint
Much improvement has been made in
the last year for which we feel thank-
ful and grateful but there i3 still
much room for improvement
