SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
Work Commenced On New Concrete
Steps AZ City Public SchOol-WOrk
To Be Completed

Contractor George Jewel commenced
promptly, on signing of the contract, to
build the concrete steps at the Gram
mar School, which are to replace the
wooden structures that were in a rot
7 ten and dangerous condition.
1t is the purpose of the Board of
Trustees. endorsed by the Board of
County School Commissioners, to
/ Immediately take steps to correct
certain unsanitary conditions that
/ exist at the school, looking solely
to the health and comfort of the
I children. The cost of the same is
to be secondary to having a good
school building. If parents of the
children could only realize that the
school house and the school yard
means environments which may be
stronger than heredity in moulding
the young mind, the tender body, the
expanding soul, they would rise up as
one body and demand that the most
perfect system of sanitary and hy-
genie laws should be carried out.
When the matter is looked into the
while system of school equipment,
school houses, school furniture, school
books, school gymnasiums are but
the machinery of education, and in or
der to be effective and not harmful
must be guided by the hands of sci
ence, physical training, manual work,
useful to a child's development only
when administered according to strict
ly hygienic principles. When not so
administered they may be a positive
source of injury. A school gymna-
sium is a good thing, but it should al
ways be under competent instructor.
All have a great admiration for DR..
F. II. Thompson, and those who as
sisted him in securing the playground
for the children and by no means must
the idea of gymnasium for "our
schools" be dropped, for no sane
man will say that it is not the best
thing that children's S exercises should
be carefully supervised and be as
carefully graded as their cultural
studies. All through the latest and
newest school curriculum the matter
of physical training is treat in a
more intelligent light than hereto
fore. Then, what the trustees shall
demand for the boys and girls of An
napolis is the very best that any
school can give physically and men
tally.
The trustees believe they have the
hearty cooperation of those with
whom they are associated in the
school work, as well as the County
School Commissioners.
1t matters not who are to control
our schools, be they under the control of
three or five trustees or under the di-
rection of the County School Commits
sioners these conditions must be met
and ought to be successfully handled,
for no man can be so callous or mean
to keep from the children that which
the God of the Universe demands
they shall have we'll developed bod
les as also the mind What | ask is
for cooperating public in the ad-
vancement of the project of gymna-
sium at OUR SCHOOLS under proper
supervision, and that the highest
scientific principles be taught in our
schools with the sole idea that many
defects in the children may be cor
rected, both mentally and physically.

PRICE ONE CENT.
TOO MANY MUSSELS
Oysters Are Disappointing New Law 4
Hardship

Oystermen are much disappointed
at the unpromising season for the
luscious bivalvo. Oysters so far have
been very disappointing. and local
dealers find many hardshps to confront
them under the Pure Food Law and
the new oyster law passed by the last
legislature,
Oysters, as caught in these waters
are full of mussles. These are not
spawn or young oyster as supposed by
many but are fibrous growth that
interferes with the growth of the
oyster. Oysters are scarce and high,
because of the unseasonably hot
weather. and as the Pure Food law
requires that ice cannot be put next
to the oysters, but only on the outside
of tin can in which they are kept,
the cost is considerably increased.
Oyters now can only be shipped in
tin cans. and where twenty pounds
of ice formerly was sufficient for n
certain quantity of oysters. it now
requires sixty pounds for the same
quantity. An extra tax of one cent is
placed upon the oyster dealer who
pays two cents instead Of one cent TO
the State for every bushel caught, or
faction of n hushel.
Only one inspector is allowed for
this territory when it is thought the
work requires three or four inspec-
tors. The oyster outlook. said Mr.
Walter Clark, a leading local dealer,
is anything but promising at the pres
ent time.

VARSITY SCORES IN SCRUBS
Yesterdays Practice AZ Academy Was
Short But SPEEDY Exposition OF
Football

That few chances of having good
men sent from the lineup to the
hospital squad will be taken by the
coaches and Trainer "Scotty" Nc
Masters was indicated at the prac-
tice at the Naval Academy yesterday
afternoon.
Notwithstanding the large squads
and the wealth of excellent substitute
as soon as a man receives even the
slightest bit of a bump of more than
usual violence, he is relieved from
further play and a sub put in his
place. This occurred yesterday af-
ternoon in the case of Clay, who was
knockedout in making a hard tackle
and in the case of Gilchrist. Both
were at once replaced and sent to the
side lines.
1t is thought more than likely, too,
that the coaches will this year take
full advantage of the rule allowing
a man to return to the lineup after
having been taken out in a preceding
period of play for injuries or because
exhausted.
Yesterdays practice started with
bit of speedy signal drill, following a
run around the limits of the gridiron
for wind improvement The first
team then lined up and received
kickoff from its opponents and was
soon giving a speedy exposition Of
varied football. Forward passes,
variation of the old double pass and
punting slternated with line plung-
ing.
The varsity made best with the open
form of play, being forced to battle
hard against the husky scrubs when
inside the 20yard line. One touch
down was scored, however, when
Sowell, who had replaced Clay, was
forced through tackle for the tally.

that ii has been a good ope fr the

the ginner and buyer, who have re.
ceived lass cotton and paid more fol
it than they ever did before The
reason OF this is that the crop this
year was only about 60 per cent OF
the average, and yet prices paid dur
ing the season were 40 per cent high
'er than last yeag, when the average
price per pound was &c against &c,
the average price paid this season.
The effect of the condition. it is said,
will be higher prices next season.

CAMPAIGN AFFAIRS

involving handling of state affairs,
cost and value OF the work done and
with no little attention To the per-
sonnel of candidates. Ii is not
boastlIg TO affirm that unless there
i wide change of policy upon the
part of the organization of the Re
publilan party the contest will elld
with the primary which viii select

reasoning power will believe the sys

cient following TO even maks a re.
spectacle showing among the voters
OF this state. To imagine the people
OF Oklahoma are going to follow any
organization that seems to have for
its highest purpose the securing OF
as many Federal appointments as pos
sible. is to insult the intelligence OF
this state.
That the primary will be holly con
tested and that many Democrats will
aspire for position, is indicative Of
the feeling the party has in the main
fulfilled its pledges and still retains
the confidence of the great bulk Of
the people. There may be some wht
