BETTER COUNTRY SCHOOLS
Mangum business men have con-
cluded to postpone working any more
roads until some time to be settled
upon in the future. This was caused
by the fact that the- farmers of. the
county are now very busy in their
fields and need their teams and do
There seems to be an epidemic of
school consolidation all over the state.
It is time for your district to become
inoculated, for that $100,000 is really
I going into the country schools and it
| is not certain that the next legislature
' will remember to be good again to
' country schools.
1 The mothers who want their child
ran to stay at home for their educa
tion have done a big share of the
work in bringing the districts togeth-
er for consolidation. What* these
mothers have dene toward hnnging
the money home for their children s
ble people are brought together. The
farmers' clubs, the mothers' clubs,
the boys' and girls' clubs all find a
home in the new achol house; there
is room for the rural school exhibit
of garden or field crops or a general
nature-study exhibit. Only a few chil-
dren see the exhibits at the county or
state fair while all can share in the
com-ftunity exhibit. The circulating
library becomes a part of the consol-
idated school, for when parents real-
ly become interested in schools they
will see to. it that the boys and feirls
have some good books and magazines
to read.
Where' thei;e is no church the Sun-
day school and church services are
tion of original plays, dealing with
the life of their rural population.
Such a movement is bound to be a
benefit to the social life of the com-
munity. Where the school house is
kept presentable there is no reason
why ma/ny happy events—May frol
ics, Hallowe'en parties, Christmas
trees, spelling bees and socials of va-
rious kinds—should not take place
in the school house. The education
cf the children has always been left,
largely, to the mothers. If they are
satisfied with present conditions then
present conditions will continue as
they are. If you went to school In
a one room school house, then you
want your children to have better op-
What do the voters of Greer county
think of the proposition of the state
voting $500,000 in bonds for the pur-
pose of erecting a state refinery and
pipe line to take care of the oil pro
ducts over on the east side of th
Btate?
If he was correctly quoted in last
Wednesday's Oklahoman. Candidate
J. B. A. Robertson, who is a candi
date for the democratic nomination
for governor of Oklahoma, advanced
such a proposition in a speech at
Chickasha last Tuesday.
Doubtless such a proposition will
attract considerable support in the
counties where there are large Oil
holdings, but out i^ Western Oklaho-
ma where our people are already pay-
ing all the taxes they can bear, a man
advancing such a proposition should
not receive a single vote.
These oil men on the ea*t side of
the state have been having consider
able trouble lately in obtaining a sat-
isfactory market price for their crude
oil: recently they induced Attorney
General West to take the matter up
before the corporation commiMlon
which commission the producers ask
ed to fix the price the pipe line com-
panies should pay for crude pit The
war compromised and soon after
that time Attorney General West an-
nounced as a candidate for governor
upon a platform that was supposed
to appeal to the oil producers. Rob
ertson's plan ought to appeal to th*
oti men more than West's platform
