Surprisingly little provision for
fireproof school buildings is found in
recent school legislation reported to
the United States bureau of educa-
ton. Notwithstanding the Collinwood
fire horror of five years ago, and
Notwithstanding the wonderful de-
velopment in schoolhouse architecture
which has made possible buildings
that are artistic as well as safe, cities
and towns in almost every section OF
the United States continue to put up
gingerbread schoolhOuses and fire
traps" that are a constant menace
to the lives of the school children.
Ohio is the one state in the union
that has a really complete system
of control of safe schoolhouse de-
sign ard construction, according to 4
table of state regulations prepared by
Frank Irving Cooper, the Boston ar
chitect, although several other states,
notably Massachusetts and Kansas,
are credited with adequate laws
against the fire peril In Ohio, where
the Collinwood holocaust has not
been forgotten, a large corps of in
spectors enforces a school building
code that assures safety, at least as
far as new buildings are concerned.
Most communities appear to be
still oblivious Of the fire risk in
schools. Insurance Engineering"
publishes a long list Of localities in
whick dangerous fire conditions ex-
list; another appalling list OF school
fires that have occurred within the
last fifteen months; and still another
list OF cities that are erecting school
buildings this year, together with the
significant fact as to whether fire
proof construction is specified or not.
Out of 23S school buildings noted for
one month in 1913 only 22 are re-
ported with fireproof specifications.
Cities that have just had destructive
school fires appear to be building In
the same old way.
State regulation is coming more and
more to be considered the only way
of solving this and other pressing
school problems. In more than half
the states central authority ever

Although William Newashe, a Sac

lisle man and one OF the best known
athletes in the United States. the bu-
reau OF Indian affairs never has
granted Kim a certificate Of compe-

taken up the matter with bureau Of

Washington furthering the cause OF
her husband.
Senator owen is the father OF the
new National Popular Government
League, which has just been formed
in Washington and which will fight
for the promotion of progressive leg
islation in all states of the union
where there are needs of reform.
Senator Owen, who is one Of the
pioneer advocates of progressive gov
ernment in the United States and
who has done much to promote the
legislation to bring about reforms, is
joined in the new organization by
Senators Clapp, Chamberlain and q
number of other members of the
house of representatives.
In many of the states Of the union
there seems to be antipathy toward
the more progressive forms Of gov
ernmcnt in the adoption of which
Oklahoma has led, and it is the pur

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER Of
INTEREST To 0KLAH0MANS

lahoma Choctaws in Washington, so
quickly and so satisfactorily answer
ed the claims advanced by the at
torneys for the Mississippi Indians
that every member of the senate
committee burst out laughing.
However, a strong sentiment has
been built up in congress in favor
of the Mississippi Indians and until
the question of enrolment is settled
decisively, the Oklahoma members OF
congress will be unable to gain much
for the Oklahoma Choctaws, either in
,e way of per capita payments or
less stringent system of administra-
iton of Indian affairs.
Representative Harrison has intro
duced a bill authorizing the enroll
ment of the Mississippi clan which
,nld open the Oklahoma tribal rolls
to fully fifty thousand Even if only
10 per cent were recognized it would
mean five thousand new shares in
the tribal estate. If not one were ad-
mitted Harrison's plan probably
would delay the settlement of tribal
affairs for fifteen or twenty years
and most of the estate might be con-
sumed in attorneys fees and others
expenses OF litigation.
With the data at hand it is believed
certain that members of the Okla
homa delegation will be able to de-
cisively defeat the Harrison scheme
and forever protect the Oklahoma IN
dians from encroachment upon their
belongings.
