O—
•AVE THE STREET.
The value of the stoneaurfacod
roadway on North Oklahoma avenue
waa demon trated daring the recent
wet weather. While mud and water
were in evidence In cverf other part of
town this street waa Ih as gocd condi-
tion aa if It had been pawd with As-
phalt. The only objertlon anyone can
urge against It to Its tendency to grind
to n fine fowder and blow away. It
can not laat many years under this
nnaditlon. It ia worth saving. It
would coat so little to save it too. It
to mid that a half gallon of crude oil
to the yard will make such a road aa
«ood as pavement. Why not try a few
torrels on this atreet? If it Is effec-
tive Mangum oould soon have the beat
•treets of any town in Oklahoma.

THE SCHOOL BONDS.
Mangum citizens will soon be called
upon to decide whether the cltv will
issue its bonds in the sum of $80,000
for the purpose of erecttng school
buildings for the accommodation of
the increasing number of children.
The school population is growing at
the rate of more than a hundred a
year, and the present facilities are en-
tirely inadequate. We have one pood
(wilding, but others are an absolute
necessity.
In planning new buildngs the board
of education has acted wisely in cjd-
nidering the certain future needs. An
experienced architect was employed to
make estimates on the buildings that
would be needed and It was decided to
tok for an issue of SSO.OM to be used
tor that purpose. The most careful
forethought is being used in order that
no mistake will be made in the expen-
diture of this sum. if ivoted. The bonds
are to bear five per cent interest and
are to be due in 25 years. When the
toilldlnss are completed they will be a
aionument to the public spirit of our
people, and an evidence of their will-
ingness to properly care for the men-
«Q training of the youth of the town.

AN INCIDENT OF THE ELECTION.
The campaign began to warm up
about noon Tuesday. Candidates were
toosy as bees. Busses, cabs, buggies
and autos were busy hauling voter* to
and from the poll*. One lar^a 16-
ga—cnger car, with a large sign on
either side reading "Vote for W. T.
Claea for Mayor" was making hurried
trip, to and fro. It seemed to to a
very popular conveyance.
▲bout 1:30 p. m. a loud cheering
waa beard down the atreet near the
pontofflce. The sidewalks were soon
crowded to tbe curb. Sooq C. U.
Thacker. Etoea's opponent for tto
aoaycrship. waa aeea propelliaf a

more children In the public schools of
Greer county, but failed so far in mak-
ingg provisions for extra, rooms or
more teacners, to take charge of

unsatisfactory in some schools, and
we would suggest that some practical
plan be adopted at once to relieve
conditions.
Would a modification of the consol-
idated school plan. In this way, meet
with the approval of the teachers and
"thers who are interested In the cause
of education? Instead of including
ill pupils of school age in the codsoI-
'dated school, take only those from
the fifth to the eighth years inclusive
leaving the primary (fourth grades) in
the present district school where they
nay attend as usual from their homes,
'n Greer county we have thirteen mu-
nicipal townships mad« np of 91
■school districts—not including the
"Itv schools of Mareum, Granite anJ
Hollis—a modern school buildini? of
suitable dimensions might be erected
'n each township, the school to be in
choree of a township school board who
would have charge of all matters per-
taining to said school and In connec-
tion with the literary part of tbe work,
we could combine practical instruc-
Mon by competent teachers in the
branches of Agriculture. Horticulture,
Domestic Pdencefl etc On a prosper-
ly conducted farm, belonging to each
township school said farm to be In
charge of a competent manager, all
under control of the school board of
said township and the proceeds of
said farm be applied to anv proper
use. Fellow teachers and frleids of
education, consider this well and sug-
