CHANGES IN STATE SCHOOLS AND
INSTITUTIONS.
tBy Senator chas. Barrett.)

In late issues section Of the Repub
lican press bitterly assails the presen
state board OF education, together witt
the governor, with the charge that they
are playing petty partisan politics. The
state board of education. the governor
OF the state and all other boards have
shown that sound ideas OF efficiency
and thrift must control in all state in.
stltutions.
In the case OF the state school for
the defeat at Sulphur. when the gov
ernor was inducted into office the ole
superintendent stood for re-appoint-
ment. and the principal under him was
seeking his place. The governor de.
clined to appoint either of them, and
after months of investigation, ]. w.
Blattner. superintendent OF the school
for the deaf of North Dakota was ap-
pointed. He Is one of the most success
ful men In the education Of the deaf
In the United States and his endorse
ments come from the highest men OF
that profession in the country. This
shows that the governor, in the exer-
else OF the appointing power was not
playing politics; for If he had been he
would have appointed some one who
resided in Oklahoma. He sought the
fittest man for the place.
Take the state board OF public af-
fairs. which now has charge of the
asylums of the state. When the hos.
pital for the insane at Norman was
acquired. the board re-appointed DR..
Griffin, who had SO successfully man
aged that institution for number of
years under private control
When DIR. E. G. Newell resigned at
Supply, this same board did not seek
for a politician but they sought man

TEACH CHILDREN THRIFT.

State Supt. Wilson is launching a
movement for making the teaching of
thrift speciality In the schools OF
Oklahoma Certainly nc line of study
could be more practical II the young
sters learn habits of economy and saw
ing. there is every reason to believe
that the pauper population of the coun
try will bee considerably r.duced.
8. w. Strauss, president of the
American Thrift society, recently stat
ed shat only two per cent of the people
IN America are Independent OF daily
income and he further declared that
81 per cent of the Americans at the
age OF So are partly or wholly depend.
ent upon charity.
Mr.. Strauss Is quoted as saying
"Unless these conditions are cor
fected, we will reach state of ma
tional poverty some day. All Euro.
pean nations for generations have been
compelled to practice thrift. 1t ia
through the churches and the schools
that these lessons must be taught"

they are as savers If they save up"
a few dollars, 1t is to spend it for some
luxury later. The thrift movement is
designed to inculcate in the mind or
youth the idea Of saving money from
the start with the ultimate object OF
acquiring sufficient capital to make
them independent. The child that
spends his small change as fast as he
makes it will probably be the young
man who has every cent OF his wages
spent before he gets his pay check on

Supt Wilson and other leaders in
the thrift movement believe that sub

the evils OF dependency will be taken
when the right kind of ideas are Inn
