Rural Delivery

Petitions are being circulated
among the country people south
and west Of town asking for the
establishing of two free rural de
livery route, There is good reason
to believe that these two routes will
be established and probably two
others, north and east of town.
While the country people are
getting free delivery why shouldn'
Chickasha have it. The Office
here IS entitled to it by the amount
of business done. Every year the
receipts far exceed the expenses of
the Office. AT least FIVE city car
riers could be maintained at sal
aries of from 5000 to 5000 a year
and this amount of money kept in
the town, which is now sent away.
It is true that the lack of sidewalks
offers an obstacle TO securing free
delivery, but those who know
claim that if the matter were taken
up by our citizens in the proper
manner, this obstacle would nc
prevent us from securing 1t.

Long Term Of School
Assured by Action Of Council
School Board Gratified

The finance committee of the
/ city council met yesterday and
/ agreed on recommendations as to a
School levy The following com
munication from a member of the
board expresses the sentiments of
the board III regard to the matter
Editor EXPRESS. The action Of
the finance committee of the city
louncil in recommending a levy of 2
mills for operating expenses Of the
public schools is extremely graft
flying to the school board aud will
be to all who are interested in pub
lie education. If the reconulenda-
tion is adopted by the council, as
il doubtless will be, it assures a
seven and probably an eight
months session this term.
The question as to the length of
the term has been often put TO-
members Of the board and their in
ability to give a definite answer
has ledto more or less general
impression that the term would be
very short and some Of our citizens
are contemplating moving or send
ing their children away to school.
To all interested and to the public
generally we desire to announce
that this is unnecessary as we will
have, as before stated, seven and
perhaps eight months Of good
school The board viii bestir itself
to see that all departments are filled
by as competeht' teachers as can
be obtainedeand we expect people
people to-move to Chickasha to

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
For the Purpose Of Training Black
smiths and Locksmiths.


There are seven special industrial schools
in saxony which have been founded for the
sole purpose of training young men to be-
come competent and skillful locksmiths
and blacksmiths. These schools are To-
Gated in the following cities: Burgstadt,
Grossenhain, Frankenberg, Meissen. Glau-
chau, Rosswein and Zittau. United States
Commercial Agent Harris at Eibenstock
has made report to the State Department
on this subject, giving an interesting ac-
count Of the course of studies In these
schools and showing an extra cost for
advanced training In electrical science.
Special attention Is called to the number
Of hours devoted to practical instruction In
the work shop There the students are
drilled in the art of constructing and lay
ing telephones. telegraphs and lightning
rods. as we'll as Of drawing and construct
ing machinery Of every description for the
application of electricity and steam. In
the industrial art laboratory they are
taught how to make chadeliers, flower
pots, fancy tables and stands. Only ap-
prentices who have passed through the
public schools are admitted to these
schools.
These schools are supported In the first
instance by the blacksmith and locksmith
guilds Of Saxony. They also receive an
nuaI subventions from the Saxon govern
ment and large number Of private indi-
viduals from time to time aid them with
voluntary and appropriate contributions.
The school at Zittau trains it's apprentices
almost exclusively in the art of shoeing
horses. The tuition in the school at Ross
vein Is s25 per annum for the sons of Ger
man citizens while students from foreign
countries pay $50. There is an additional
fee Of 50 for the use of the workshop for
German students and $12 for foreigners
The departments of the interior of nearly
all the German states have made proyi-
sions to grant stipends to needy and
worthy young locksmiths who wish to at
tend this school.

There are many stories afoat as to the
physical condition Of Mr.. Chamberlain. but
to all appearances he is still possessed OF
that marvellous vitality of both body and
mind which gives the impression of youth
rather than of age. Rapidly approaching a
time OF life when most men seek retirement
from public cares, he is planning for new
campaigns of which he is to be the inspira-
ton, not only In advisory capacity, but as
vigorous and actual leader Living in a
comparatively modest way, every moment
given to public affairs, his time engaged
weeks In advance, and making public
speeches whenever the occasion seems To
demand. there Is no man in parliament to-
day who works as hard upon whom a
greater burden and responsibility fall in
directing the political fortunes OF a major
ity of his fellow-citizens.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Chamberlain
would visit the United States and possibly
make trip to some of the British colonies

is an open secret that the work of the

factcrily during his recent absence as when
he was on the ground ready with advice
or direction. Several mistakes were made
which weakened the effect intended to be
produced by the efforts of that body. and 1t
is doubtful whether Mr.. Chamberlain would

no city Improvement which impresses
American tourists more favorably than
the system of underground lavatories in

Under preferential tariff treatment by

tralia would In time supply all the food
deficiencies of Great Britain, said Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain to your correspond
ent today. When asked what effect he
thought this might have upon the Ameri-
can trade in England Mr.. Chamberlain
continued: Il do not believe this would
hurt the trade of the United States, be-
cause by that time the people of the
United States will consume all the food
stuffs they produce. With a rapidly in
creasing population and growth of manu-
featuring interests ii will not be long,
believe. before the United States is food
importing instead of food exporting
country. This being the case the inter-
ests of the United States in foreign trade
would lie in the direction of manufac-
lures entirely, and reciprocity treaty
between the united kingdom and the
United States would then be possible"

protective theory was coincident with, or
whether 1t followed his advocacy Of pref
erential treatment for the British colo

ton or protection and retaliation had
been discussed within recent years in
England and that he had been one of the
advocates of the continuation of the free
trade policy. He said that his investiga-
lions into the subject at that time had led
to doubts in his own mind as to the entire
wisdom of free trade for England, but
That had not the question of empire come

handspring of any legislation which
might be brought about. indicating
