THE LEGAL MACHINERY of Oklahoma’s
state supreme court soon will be called upon
to grind out a solution to the problem of
where Norman's “tower-town" children will
go to school The local school board main-
tains that the children should be prohibited
from attending school in Norman because the property on which
they live is tax-free and their parents do not pay the mill levy
to support county schools
White Mound country school two miles south of Norman
where the children have been attending classes practically re-
fuses to keep them enrolled on the premise that it is dangerous
for them to walk along highway 77 to school
Here are more than 20 children who have every right to
expect the same consideration in regard to schooling that other
youngsters in Norn an have Yet the schools which should be
the last institution in the world to draw class lines are putting
themselves on a pedagogical pedestal from which they look
down haughty noses to decide who can and cannot enjoy the
beneficent beauties of education
Granting the fact that the parents of the children do not
contribute to the upkeep of county schools the personnel of the
board should take into consideration the hundreds of childless
families in and around Norman who do pay taxes yet who re-
ceive no immediate benefit from their investment
If the school board is going to be fair in its actions to all
concerned those who have no dependents enrolled in school
should be exempt from paying taxes to support the school dis-
trict But not only has the board gone so far as to bar the slum
area children from school it lias also attempted tfLecure from
the county commissioners the nullification of an order issued
by Ralph Hamilton county superintendent to bring the slum
section into the local set" ol district — Edith Walker

Texas is an historic state It has a fine climate warm and
sunny and has aptly been described as “an ideal place for a
football game"
There are many great and colorful scenes that one may
view on a visit including what is known as the “Lone Star" —
which incidentally is shining particularly bright at the
moment
From the big blue gulf waters on the southern coast even
to the northern extremities of the north side bleachers of a
boundary called the “Cotton Bowl" Texas mainly is a state of
broad plains rich farmlands cactus covered miles of terrain
and a good many rattlesnakes These snakes can travel at ter-
rific speeds especially when chasing or being chased
Hie state has many universities of note including the Uni-
versity of Texas whose athletic teams have been nicknamed
“The Longhorns”
On a visit to the great state largest of the nation one can
see many historic battlegrounds such as the one at the Alamo
in San Antonio Others ate to be found scattered over the
country and one of them located at Dallas is particularly in-
- teresting
Most of the heroic battles Texans have fought took place
decades ago but many of the notable events and hard-fought
conflicts have occurred in more recent days
-Texas is a great state It is an immense state Its people
do many great things even in short periods of lime ome of
the greatest have been known to transpire in the short space of
a few minutes In its social aspects too Texas has many “good"
things— of every variety and of many different “brands" and
“labels" Perhaps we Oklahomans should make it a point to
visit Texas some time

THE UNITED STATES today is more than
a match for Japan in war-waging power
This is an important factor now that Japan
has o erly expressed her hostility to Amer-
ica by virtue of the German-Italian-Japa-'lc-ae
alliance If a war is to be fought with
Japan it will be a war of naval strength not a land conflict
Comparative strength must therefore be measured in ships
and airplanes
Today the United Slates has far more ships than Japan
and most of which have bigger guns and longer cruising ranges
The American navy ha 1280000 tons as compared with the
Japanese navy of 743000 tons Also the United States navy's
air force is ithout rival
Another important factor in favor of the United States is
the fact that she has possession of adequate bases of operation
to carry on a war with Japan The United States too could
utilize British bases at Singapore and in Australia and New
Zealand Using these bases ships and airplanes of the Amer-
ican navy would 1m in a favorable position to sever important
Japanese trade routes
Although Japan is well placed to guard her own home-
land site is not so well placed to guard the south Pacific csjm?-
cislly if the United States should utilize the British bases in
that section
Several other factors also coipe into the picture One is
the fact that Japan started sooner than this country to bpilJ
new lgt! tics!) ins and will have two more within a year Another
is that Japan armv is involved in China draining Japanese
resources so that naval expansion is more difficult A third is
that maintenance of the United States fleet in the Tucifie rests
