the imports and exports by great
groups, made up by combining into
separate classes the various articles

months figures, accompanied as they
are by the figures for the single month
of November, enable a close estimate
of the business for the full year, since

those for the ! months reasonably
accurate estimate of the business for
the full year which ends with the cur

REFUSE TO ADOPT
RESOLUTIONS
Convention Sidesteps Action on Edu-
cationaI Board And Akin Bill
Eliminating Schools.

Oklahoma City Dec. 2S.-The de-
feat of the Wilson-Glenn faction of the
State Teachers Association in the
election of officers may have the eff
feet of precluding any resolutions in
dorsing the state board of education
on condemning the Akin bill, which
proposes to abolish fourteen state edu-
cational institutions. The general
sentiment among the teachers last
night seems to be that the introduc-
tion of resolutions, either condemning
or indorsing the board of education or
taking any stand on the Akin bill,
!. would be unwise, for it would precipi-
tate bitter political fight on the floor
of the convention. Officers were elect
ed by a delegation convention, subject
to ratification by the association, which
procedure, it is understood, will be a
mere formality.
Glenn-WiIson Defeat.
The Glenn-Wilson slate was defeat
ed straight through, but the Glenn
forces were given the resolutions COM
mittee by the insurgents. Two out of
the three members of the executive
committee were landed by the anti
Glenn element of the association. The
new president of the association is
said to be a supporter Of former State
Superintendent E. d. Cameron, who
was defeated by State Superintendent
Wilson for that office in the last elec-
tion.
New Officers.
The new officers of the association
are w. E. Gill of Pawhuska, county
superintendent of Usage county, pres
ident; Miss Ella Davis of Ardmore,
vice president; w. w. Cunningham of
Shawnee. secretary treasurer. Mem
bers of the executive committee, Prof.
McCabe of iKngfisher, T. B. Rybolt of
Lawton and County Superintendent p.
G. Rawdon of Lincoln county. Super
intendent Il. S. Monroe, the board of
education, candidate for president,
after his defeat was made chairman of
the resolutions committee.
1t is said that Monroe does not favor
a resolution indorsing the board, con-
that it would be unwise to
precipitate fight
Akin Exhorts Teachers.
o. H. Akin, author of the initiated
bill to abolish a number of state edu-
catioual institutions, has opened head
quarters at one of the leading hotels
and it is understood is advising teach
ers not to introduce resolution con-
demning his measure, stating that it
will precipitate fight on the board of
education. The strongest sentiment
among the teachers is for the adoption
of a resolution asking Governor
Cruce for some expression of his find
ings in the recent executive inyestiga-
ton of the state board of education. 1t
is question whether the element that
desires harmony will be able to pre-
vent the introduction of such resolu-
ton Some of the more radical desire
the adoption of a resolution condemn
ing the state board of education, but
the complicated situation as to the
Akin bill may prevent them from pre-
senting such a resolution.
Addresses were delivered at the au-
ditorium yesterday afternoon before
the association by DR.. Henry s. Curtis
of Worcester, Mass. on the play
grounds movement and by Walter Will
liams, dean of the Missouri school of
Journalism.

ufactures of silk. Manufactures for
further use in manufacturing imported
show practically no change when COM
pared with the corresponding months
of last year. Crude materials for use
in manufacturing show a decided fall
ing of, being for the IL months of 1911
459 million dollars, against 49S million
in the same months of 1910, the de-
crease of "a million occurring chiefly
lin India rubber, hides ad skins, and
wool. Foodstuffs partly or wholly
manufactured show decline of 15
million dollars, the IL months figures
being 166 million, against 1S1 million
last year. The decline occurred chief
ly in sugar, of which the quantity i'm
ported is materially less than last
year. Crude foodstuffs imported show
marked increase, the II months fig
ures of 1911 being 1882 million dol
lars, against 134 million in the same
months of last year. This is largely
due to an advance in the price of cof-
fee, of which the stated value of the
IL months imports was so 2-3 million
dollars in 1911, against so million in
1910, though the increase in quantity
was very slight, from 677 million
pounds in II months of 1910 to 697
million in like period of 1911, the ad-
vance in value being due, therefore,
chiefly to higher prices.
On the export side manufactures
ready for consumption show for IL
months total of 584 million dollars,
against 494 million in like period of
last year, an increase of 90 million
dollars, while for November the fig
ures are 50 2-3 million, against 46 1-3
million dollars in November of last
year Manufactures for further use in
manufacturing exported increased from
259 million dollars in IL months of
1910 to 293 million in the same months
of the current year, growth of "a
million dollars, while for the single
months of November they increased
from "a ga to a little over 26 million
dollars. This indicates that the total
value of manufactures sent to foreign
countries during the full year will be
about 500 million dollars, and if to this
is added the value of those sent to
Porto Rico and Hawaii, the total value
of manufactures sent out of contin-
entail United States will for the first
time approximate and probably pass
the billion dollar line. Exports of
crude materials for use in manufac-
turing in the IL months were valued
at 5711a million dollars, against 534
million last year, though for Novem-
ber the figures are below those of the
same month of 1910, the total for last
month being 81 million dollars, against
81 1-3 million in November, 1910. Food
stuffs crude and those partly or who'll
ly manufactured show in each case a
marked increase in exports when COM
pared with last year Crude footstuffs
exported in the II months advanced
from 70 2-3 million dollars in 1910 to
102 2-S million, and those partly or
wholly manufactured, from 228 to PIT
million. The crude foodstuffs export
ed are chiefly wheat, corn, oats, and
food animals; those partly or wholly
manufactured include flour, meats,
dairy products, cotton seed oil, lard,
and other articles of this character.
