Secretary Oklahoma city's Schools
on Fireproof School Buildings.

| oeSTetdTJ Okidhomd Guys SCHOOLS
on Fireproof School Buildings.
Several days ago the editor of
the Ardmoreite wrote the president
of the school board Of Oklahoma
City, asking his opinion on the ques-
tion of making the high school
building, now being built in this
city. a fireproof structure.
We print herewith, reply re-
ceived from Secretary Elbow. OF
that school board.
The Ardmoreite has repeatedly
urged upon the good people of this
city the necessity OF making the
high school building fireproof one
There will be too much money tied
up in this structure 20 take great
risks of fire loss where same can
etary consideration altogether. The
lives of children who will be in
daily attendance in this building.
will be directly responsible for their
safe keeping. In just the same ra-
ito that the parent is responsible
| for the earthly existence of the
child, will the parent be responsi-
Bile for the proper safe guarding CT
the life of the growing child l.
would be almost criminal, it wou.d
be the worst kind of criminal neg
ligence to build a fire trap Wn.cI
would stand daily menace to the
lives of these children.
But yet another view: Fire insur-
ance companies charge much high
er rate on their policies for insur-
ance upon a building which is only
partially fireproof-a building whicn [,
is really a non-fireproof one-than
they do for one which is truly fire
proof. This is not discrimination
upon their part, it is good, hard,
business sense. The greater the
risk assumed the greater the pay
demanded for assuming the risk.
The saving in the matter of money |
paid out for insurance would, in five |
years-ten at mOst-make up the |
additional cost of making this a |
complete fireproof structure.
The Ardmoreite asks every tnlnk:ng |
man and woman, every father and
mother to take this matter up in
their own minds anG consciences.
Take it up with yourselves ani can
vass the matter over carefully d
then answer the question which viii
suggest itself Shall We risk the
lives of our children to save a few
thousand dollars?'

Why He Couldn't Sit Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair OF knickerbockers were
secured recently, and it was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was a suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed. az
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat; but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down.
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder OF the service.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation os the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
Those Of Lono Aao.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women of
the middle class of q generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
Keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
anairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; In short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"
