one Of the things which was no.
tlced at the meet on Friday was the
splendid conduct OF the school chill
iren, In fact, the onduct Of the
school children was Of a nature that
their elders might well emulate. Ac-
'ording to reports by those who were
on duty as watchmen at the meet on
Friday, not one school child went
wrong In so far "a 10 trample flow
'r beds Many older people were
ess careful IN their department. and

through them and needless older poo-

,f the finest flower beds In the city
park are practically ruined
Another thing which developed on
Friday was that Tulsa needs regu-
ar place, built especially for the pur-
lose OF conducting similar events as
hose held at owen Park. Although

although the park was in the best
possible shape. II did not meet tho
