CH|LDRENS PERIL
AROUSES MOTHERS
Movement on Foot to Compel Change
in Dangerous Conditions Exist
ing in City Schools.

Many people of the city-especially
mothers of school children-have call
ed up the Chieftain today to express
their appreciation and Endorsement Of
the exposition of the dangerous condi-
tions at the public school building,
as published in yesterdays issue Of
the Daily Chieftain One mother stat
ed that every morning when she sent
her little one to school, she sent a
prayer that her little one might be re-
turned to her in safety.
The imperiling Of the lives Of 50
many school children must be stopped
A movement for an organized effort
to compel the school board to act has
been set in motion and there will be
no let up until other quarters are
arranged or more adequate fire es-
capes have been built.
An investigation as to the cause of
the delay in building high school
will also be made. Last spring a
school board was elected under the
promise to build high school. At an
other election the people of Vinita
voted bonds for the erection of a high
school and a ward school building.
The summer months waned and pass
ed without stone being laid on either
of these buildings The autumn has
nearly gone and yet nothing has been
done, in a material way toward the
erection Of these buildings.
What has become Of the money de-
rived from the sale Of the school
bonds? Is it on deposit in the banks
of Vinita? If so, who is deriving the
benefit from such delay? These and
more are the questions being asked
by the progressive people Of this city
Can the school board sit idle and allow
these conditions to go on?

'Thaw that he should, at last, have been moved to feel ESQ sorry" for his old mother, it is to be regretted, both for her sake and for his, that he was not impelled to that mental attitude some few years earlier.

OUR SLANG INTERPRETED

An English observer has esSayed some defini- tions of American slang. He has made some discoveries that should cause wonder. He learns that ''chump'' is a youth ''who has been in anyway cheated of his money, especial ly by the genter sex.'' Such youth is truly a chump of whom this Anglican lexicographer must be one. A ''dead beat'' is .'pauper, ' and "dead broke' is the sad condition of a dead beat, while a ''dead give-away'' is a swindle. Apparently this tourist never encoun- tered in the west any of his rowing countrynlen, who are "dead broke" at times. when they are described in local phrase as remittance men, '' Had he encountered some of them he would have learned one cis-A Atlantic meaning of the verb ''to touch" which he seems to have es- caped; unless, indeed such an encounter may have caused his impression that 'dead broke" and ''dead beat" are equivalent But in that case he probably would not have interpreted "cowboy" as meaning "Texas farmer" nor a tenderfoot" as doubtful, rowing industri- al. The tenderfoot may revel in that defni- ton.
 Another discovery that may open American eyes is that to be ''stuck up'' is to be without money" He might have simplifed that by us- ing dead broke" The explanation is that he has confused the term "held up,' as. for in stance by highwaymen, with stuck up" He also learned that the great bounce' (mean- ing probably the grand bounce") means death, as, sadly enough, in some instances it may. But that would be subtlety too remote for the insular mind. However, this amateur student of colloquiasms may be spared for the American abroad is quite as confused in his translations of foreign idioms

 But the horse will never go.
