which characterized one session of the recent an
nual meeting of the State Teachers association is
regarded as a disgrace by every sober minded
thinking citizen of the state who has any knowl-
edge of the circumstances In the first place the
attempt to keep State Superintendent Wilson off
the program of that meeting was piece of petit
ness that was utterly unworthy of such profes-
slOnal association.
That such despicabe tactics reacalcd and re
suited in the unexpected election of Mr. Wilson
to the presidency of the association was surprise
to Mr. Wilson not less than it was to those who
sought to keep his name from the program Of the
meeting and was only to be expected. In the up
roar incident to this occasion the prominence Of
some OF Oklahoma's educational miShts was duly
emphasized
For instance the head of one state institution
galloped up and down the aisle of the auditorium
frantlcaIly gestcuIatlng MS he shouted ncoherent-
ly seemingly 0bliviouS to the dignity of his sta
ron and the obligation which he owes to the state
and its people as a professed teacher of teachers
II Is time to call halt on the vendetta which
has too long been hane and disgrace to the
teachers profession in Oklahoma The deliberate
cultivation OF spirit of jealousy and spitcfuness
IS seriously interfering with the efficiency Of the
educational system of the state Men DO not gath

If all or part of the teachers are given over to the
smallness of political intrigue in which jealousy
and spite and malice and venom are given free
rein. The stream will not be purer than its foun-
tain neither will the pupil- have higher standards
and ideals than their tcachcrs
This is R serious question because il comes
home to every parent who has q child in school
and TO every taxpayer who contributes to the sup
port Of the schools II is very evident that patrons
and supporters Of the schools must assert them

SELLING TO ALL THE BELL1GERENTs

The selling of war material 10 bcllgcrrnts is
a wholly different matter from that complained of
by the United Statcs during the civil war II has
been the practice always for ncutrals to sell 10
belligcrcnts, taking only the risk or capture on
the high seas when goods warc in transit
All the European countries involved in the
present war have over and over again illustrated
that practice themselves and their citizens have
