A short time ago a heating plant
for the building was installed by the
students themselves, under the direc-

the students operates the heating
plant and looks after the building, in

A dormitory has been built for the

There Is a fine school spirit among
pupils and patrons. Prof. c. A. Short,

is giving splendid satisfaction.
The three schools, under the super

For a number of years Professor
Halbrook was in charge of the Choc-
taw school as principal. His work
there was eminently successful in
every way. The people in the nearby
schools, seeing the splendid school
built up at Choctaw and the splendid
school spirit among people in this
school, requested that Professor Hal

Each of the three schools is the re-
suit of consolidation and annexation
of contiguous territory, each district
being created by legislative enact
ment some years ago, there being no
such comprehensive law at that time
for the consolidation of school dis
tricts by vote of the people as there IS
at present under authority of act ll6,
passed by the Legislature of 1911.
Tho average length of term in each
of the three small districts before the
formation of these new districts was
about three and a half or four months
each year. Each of the three schools
is now maintaining an eight months
term.
At present two of the schools are
only giving a small amount OF high
school work, but at the third school.
Choctaw, strong three-year high
school is maintained, and is one OF the
stateaided high schools, the course
of study and work done being ap-
proved by the State Board of Educa-
ton. The other two schools WIFE
likely add two years high school work
for next year.
There are eleven teachers employed
IN these three schools. and of this
number five are graduates of normal
training schools. Each school has
two wide-awake IL erary societies for
the older students and one for the
primary pupils. These societies meet
regularly and all the students take a
lively interest in them. All the
schools are we'll organized in athlet

Washington, Feb. S.--Convict labor
in the operation of subsidiary COM
panies of the United States Steel COR

taken up by the Stanley investigation
committee.
Shelby M. Harrison of New York, a
magazine writer. testified that he had
made an investigation of the condi-
tions. He told Of the large number OF
state and county convicts in the camp
in Alabama, and OF the minor offenses
for which some of the men had been

Mr.. Harrison said the warden who

he had seen prisoner hogged with a

SENDS NOTE
To POWERS
Knox Discusses the Situation
IN China
NOTE SENT TO GERMANY
sEcRETARY or STATE OF UNIT
ED STATES CONFIDENT THAT
NATIONS WILL ONLY ACT in
CONCERTED MOVE AND AFTER
DUE CONSULTATION.

Washington, Feb. S.-Secretary
Knox's note to Count Won Bernsdorff,
the German ambassador, just made
public is taken to be q preliminary Of
the expected change of notes between
the United States Germany Great
Britain, France, Japan and Russia,
which will be Of immense Importance
in placing all those powers on record
for concerted action and common un-
derstanding in the protection of the
integrity of China.
While the note is addressed to the
German ambassador, copies have been
sent to all the other powers named
"There happily has thus far been no
reason for interference on the part of
the foreign powers, inasmuch as both
the imperialists and the republicans
have guaranteed the life and property
of the foreign population and the lat
est reports tend to strengthen the
lief that it is improbable that future
developments will necessitate such
interference, says Knox.
After recalling that the powers have
from time to time exchanged advices
with reference to China and that the
similarity Of views found expression
in the identical note presented by rep-
resentatives of France, Great Britain,
Germany. Japan, Russia and the
United States simultaneously to the
peace commissioners at Shanghai, Dec.
20, the secretary says:
'It is therefore evident to this gov
ernment that all the powers have up
to the present by common consent
rot only refrained from independent
action and from intervening in China's
international affairs, but have acted
in full accord with mutual assurances
that they would respect its integrity
and sovereignty. If, however, con-
trary to all expectations any further
steps should prove necessary, this
government is firm in the conviction
that the policy of concerted action
after a full consultation by the powers
should and would be maintained in
order to exclude from the beginning
ali possibility of misunderstanding
