President Wilson.

Mr. Bryan, 'but am doing what | be
lieve to be the duty Of every citizen.
How can the president know what the
people think unless individuals ex-
press themselves?"
Editors OF metropolitan newspapers
who daily fling incense before special
interests do not hesitate to express
their opinion Of what the country's
course should be. Then, why should a
country editor, like myself, be denied
this privilege and why should a Dem
ocrats friendship for the president be
questioned when he differs on an issue
like this, which has nothing in the
history of the country or the party to
recommend it?"

It is reported that Obregon's popu-

northern Mexico.
The people received Obregon enthus-

CROWDED
Ramey's Report Shows Increase in
Enrolment; Another Building
Will Be Needed Next Year
Says Superintendent

The summaries of the reports for
the Chickasha City schools show net
enrolment of 1859 for the first two
months. The number on roll for the
past month was 2,31g OF these 27t
are enrolled in high school, 176 in
grades at high school, 5S7 at west
school, sos at north school. 442 at
south school, 35 at rural and $40 at
negro school.
The average number belonging was
2,07S, with daily average attendance
of 1879. There we're 1913 cases of
tardiness, 33 at high school, 10 in
grades at high school, 35 at west, rs
at south, II at north and 13 at negro
school. There have been no corporal
punishments at north school since
school opened, with at south and Il
at west during the last month. The
teachers are endeavoring to do away
with corporal punishment entirely.
In the year 1910 for the second
month the high school enrolment was
l5S, total enrolment 1896, tardies for
all the schools 3O3, number of cor
poral punishments 55. III will be noted
that the report for October 1915 shows
decided Improvement in the whole
school
An extra teacher was recently en-
ployed for high school, making y
teachers in that department and sc in
the grades of the white schools and Z
in the negro schools and one in the
rural school.
Commenting on the report for the
past month, Superintendent Ramey
said:
Because of the crowded condition
in the beginning grades, it became
necessary to place these on half day
sessions at each of the ward schools.
There is no prospect that change can
be made in these classes during the
year.
"It is quite evidence to the casual
observer that another school building
should be erected this year to take
care of the increased attendance.
"We believe Chickasha has good
system Of schools. but they can be i'm
proved by making provisions against
the crowded conditions and giving 9
better equipment for grade work and
for laboratory work in the high school
Nothing will contribute more to the
general uplift of the citizenship of the
city than your schools. We believe
all loyal citizens will see the situation
in this light and they will give the
measure for another school buildinl
hearty support when the opportunity
is presented.
