State SUP erintendent Wilson Gives
Numerous Suggestions for I'm

Special to the Daily Express.

Special TO the Daily Express.
Oklahoma City May Departing
from the common custom, State Super
intendent Wilson is sending an annual
letter directly to the school boards Of
the state, containing numerous practi-
cal suggestions that are designed to
make better schools in Oklahoma.
Among other things, Mr. Wilson says:
''In the first place. | urge you to
provide for an estimate sufficient to
maintain good school for as long a
term as possible. Your children are
entitled to as much schooling as are
the children of the cities and the most
favored communities. They will be
school children for only few years.
Their success in lite depends upon the
advantages you give them. and what
you do for them must be done now.
In the second place, buy only such
school supplies as you need to- con
duct the school properly. Consult your
county superintendent and teacher be-
fore buying DO not buy on the rec
ommendation OF the agent who hap
pens to be selling the apparatus. Buy
now what you need most. Add to this
from year to year until your school is
fully equipped.
''As third suggestion, / recommend
that your school be supplied with as
good library as possible. Good books
are the best companions with which
your boys and girls may associate. /
hope to see the day come in this state
when every school will be equipped
with splendid library from which not
only the children, but the grown peo
pie as well, may secure good books to
read.
Fourth in this list, but probably
first in Importance. wish to urge you
to secure the very best teacher posi-
Bile Keep your teacher il he has
proven satisfactory He win be worth
more next year than new man. am
convinced that il is better to have a
short term Of school with good teach
er than longer term with poor
teacher. Advise with your county
Superintendent before employing a
teacher. would suggest that you
give the preference to those teachers
who have had successful experience,
or who have received professional
training

] have called attention to modern
school house plans. II YOU are plan
ming to build a new school house or
repair The old one. let me urge you to
build something modern, although it
may be cheap.
