NEARLY 100
MORE Are
ENROLLED

Tie city schools opened Monday for
the second term, at which time near
one hundred new pupils enrolled. The
actual attendance as reported for
Wednesday was 1870. OF these there
were 253 in the high school, 522 at the
West school, 42O at the North school,
and go at the Lincoln school
This large attendance crowds the

ber Of pupils to each teacher that will
permit her to get the best results both
in the grades and in the high school,"
said supt Ramey.
"Chickasha stands in need Of more
school rooms and more teachers, as
one can readily see who will inspect
the present conditions. The number
of pupils necessarily assigned to the
grade teachers will average over forty
when thirty to thirty-five is the normal
numLer; while in the high school each
teacher must instruct from 1875 to $50,
when the normal number is from sew

can boast of more loyal and earnest
body of teachers than we have in

that each teacher has so much energy

and the loss of the individual pupils

The rooms in the high school building |
were designed for~class rooms and not |
for school rooms. This building should |
be reserved for high school pupils and |
high school work exclusively.
In the opinion OF the superintend- |
ent more school rooms should be |
added to the West school building to |
relieve the pressure there and at the
high school. Chickasha's greatest as
set is her boys and her girls, those |
who in a few years will be the active !
citizens of the town and surrounding |
country. Nothing is too good for them
in the way of an education and the
to meet the demands of |
the future upon them. They will never
pass this way but once. If they miss
the things which are needful in their
young lives they cannot build quite so |
we'll in the future. 1t is the poorest |
sort of economy not to give to the |
children of Chickash the best possible |
facilities for an education in their day |
While saying the above things it |
is not our disposition to speak dis |
of the work now being done
in all the schools. 1t is excellent and |
of the highest type both in the grades |
and the high school. Our schools are
spoken of all over the state as among
the best. DR.. Scott, whose privilege
IL is to inspect the high schools of the |
state, expressed himself as agreeably
surprised at the ability and efficiency
of our faculty. Few citizens and
patrons really know the actual work |
being done in our schools. Why not
visit them occasionally?"

that you never see women with cigar

Then the woman who had lived III

enough to pass as a real WashinStonian,
explained that just because you didn' t
see cigarette smoking among the women

they had been made to feel the inapPro-
priateness of II, was no reason to believe
that women in Washington did not in
dulge in an occasional cigarette Just the
same.
But there is certain restraint. Dig
