CLEE CLUB
SINGS FOR
TEACHERS
President Austin and Supt. Shepard
Give Addresses; Moonlight
School Plan Discussed at
Length by Speakers

At this mornings session of the
teachers association, President G.. w.
Austin Of the Oklahoma College for
Women delivered a most excellent ad-
dress upon the Relation of the
School Board to the School," The adj
dress was well received by a most ap-
preciative audience, who listened to
the manner in which he handled his
subject with the closest attention and
an evident Intention of profiting by
what he said
Following this address the college
glee club appeared before the teachers,
forty strong, and for a half hour en-
tertained in most delightful manner
with number of beautiful selections.
After the departure of the glee club,
the principal matter of interest, the
discussion of the moonlight school
proposition, was taken up. In this dis
cussion, in addition to those who were
regularly on the program, the teach
ers assembled, generally took up the
subject and expressed their views in a
most entertaining manner.
Twenty of the teachers present
stated that they already had started
the moonlight school in their district
and reported that they we're meeting
with the greatest success.
Superintendent Shepard stated that
he had already received a number of
letters, some from men forty years old,
written by students at the moonlight
schools now being conducted in this
county, in which the writer's stated
that they, who only few weeks be-
fore could neither read nor write were
now able to write the letters in ques-
ton after only few lessons at the
moonlight schools.
During the morning session Super
intendent Shepard delivered his ae
dress to the assembled teachers. Mr.
Shepard was not to have spoken until
this afternoon, but owing to the
crowded condition Of the afternoons
program he took up a part of the
morning hour.
Mr.. Shepard spoke in most emphatic
terms about the need of moonlight
schools in every district in Grady
county and showed the great good to
be gained by the many citizens of the
county who had never had educational
advantages from these schools.
The speaker also urged upon the
teachers the benefit of frequent spell
ing contests in the schools. He also
called attention to the fact that the
state law requires that each school
should fly the nations flag and said
that but too few of the schools OF the
county were complying with his law.
He urged upon the teachers the neces-
sity of sending in their monthly re-
ports promptly in order that the super
intendent could keep in the closest
possible touch with the schools of the
entire county.
The greater part of this afternoons s
session was taken up by the further
consideration of the moonlight school
proposition. Moses K. Wood of the
Central State Normal. delivered an
address upon this subject.

better fire protection for the city be

attention the fact that the growth, and
consequent increased danger from fire
of Chickasha. demanded that the fire
department be equipped with more
and better fire fighting apparatus
Chief Gattis called attention to the
need OF the city for an auto motor

piece Of fire fighting machinery was

put the local members lin Dutch"
by declaring to the ladies present that

ter nine o'clock and hat if their nus

is appropriated for this item. The
Teachers Federation has never been
able to find out what this money is
spent for and how it is accounted for
on the books kept under the direction
of Sec'y Larsen.
Aldermen Buck, Kennedy and Nc
Cormick, under authority as spe-
cial committee from the city coun-
Gil, intended to look into this item
and others. They met with blank
refusals.
''Then what happened? A COM
mittee was appointed by the Illinois
senate through manipulation of the
senate records after adjournment
The Baldwin committee members
were not legally appointed. At the
right time we will show it.
There are honorable gentlemen on
that committee. They are not re-
sponsible for what happened. They
didn't know what the committee was
for.
'Wel, that committee came to Chi
cago, supposedly to investigate the
school system. Instead of going &C
tually into the school system they
aimed their whole investigation at
discrediting the Teachers Federation.
What absurdities there were! Trus-
tee Holpuch of the school board was
called as witness and questioned by
Meyer Stein. Mr.. Holpuch testified
that in one Chicago school cor
poral punishment was in practice and
in one instance child had been NAL
treated by a teacher. An innocent
member of the committee asked for
the names of the teacher, the school
and the principal involved. Mr.. Hol-
puch said he didn't know them.
Under farcical questions from
Myer Stein witness after witness tes-
titled the Teachers Federation was
bad influence. Newspapers published
these stories without once asking
why the federation side should not
