If the federal laws won't protect
human life on excursion boats rum
ming out of Chicago, Mayor Thomp-
son can do it himself. Il isn't always
necessary to look In book and find
a law to permit doing something that
ought to be done,
Mayor Thompson can have an in
spection by competent authorities Of
all boats carrying passengers out of
Chicago. He can find out whether
the boats are safe or unsafe. He can
consider stability or anything else he
thinks important.
He can fix a CHICAGO inspection
that will do the work, in spite of any
state or national laws and regula-
tions.
Owners of boats that are entirely
safe will be glad to stand that inspec-
ton, because it will help their busi-
ness. If the CHICAGO inspection
says the boat is safe to carry so many
passengers the people won't be
afraid to travel on boats that stand

\ REM ARK iBLE GROWTH.
Largest and most remarkable in
growth of the grade schools of Tulsa
is the Washington school. located i'll
the lynch torsythe addition, ana
originally known as the LynCh-FOr-
sythe school The building was
erected i'm the summer of 1903 ana
in September of that year 1t opened
for work with five teachers and al
enrolment Of l52 pupils. Last Fri
day there We're "a teachers at work
I'm that same school teaching LOIS
pupils Such has been its develops
ment in six years.
There are ten grade schools in town
and the Washington school has ap>
proXimately one-fourth or all the
students up to and including tho
eighth grade one OF the most re-
markable facts about the school is
that the enrollment has grown from
no pupils to the present 1919, since
the first Of September There were
only 42O pupils in school two and one.
half years ago when Prof. George
MacCurdy, the present principal, took
charge.
In the history OF the school there
have been four principals, G. G, Lis
colt, Ray S. Fellows, w c. COker and
George MacCurdy. When originally
built, the school building was intend
ed to have eight rooms Now by
multiplying the little temporary
structures on the campus and divld-
ing the rooms in the main building,
there are ~ rooms, ana not nearly
enough at that. In some of the
rooms the children are sitting three
deep in their seats and the fact that
they do anything In the way of school
work is remarkable. The work that
IS done under the circumstances is
hard to explain,
Although there have been four
principals of the school and possibly
as many city superintendents in the
life Of the institution, r. NJ. Erwin,

its erection The old man has mado
himself a fixture by this time that II

TEACHERS "p\RsON\GE.n

Why not have a "parsouaEc' for
the school teacher? The idea is new
and original bat so far as the scheme
has been advanced II looks good. The
idea originated i'm Red Fork. ana
characteristic OF the Red Fork poo-
pie, they didn't stop with the idea
( They proceeded to buy a lot near tho
school house and make arrangements
to build a $1,000 house on il. Red
Fork may be small but 1t was on the
map long time before the present
county seat was known about farther
than YOU could smell the raW-uide,
nailed on the walls Of Tate Brady-
| trading station. Red Fork was here
first and Red Fork Is about TO show
the civilized world how to treat
school teacher.
Considering public schools. the av-
erage age Of male teachers i'm the
rural schools is much less than tho
same class Of instructors I'm the city
schools. The reason for this is very
simple When a teacher has gotten
good training in the country schools
and established a reputation for him.
SELF he is inclined to go to the city
where the schools offer better oppor-
tunities for advancement and he will
have more ConvenienCes I'm a well or
ganzed system. When he leaves the
country his place is filled by an i'm
experienced youth who can mako
more money and have more privileges
there than are offered to men of his
class i'm the city.
This keeps constant flow OF
young teachers to the country schools,
destined to be promoted to a better
place or doomed to fail and get out
of the business within two years time
The Red Fork people know that II
they will build a good comfortable
home and offer it free Of cost to tho
teacher I'm charge of the school, that
men older and more experienced will
come there, bring their families ana
be Contented to stay long enough to
accomplish something. Besides this
the teacher will live next door to the
school house where he will take pride
in having the campGs kept in good
order and prevent marauders from us
ing the school house as a place TO
cOngregatc at night and practice their
vandalism.
The plan looks practical to the Red
Fork people and II it is started and
proves success, every district in the
county will follow suit" Oklahoma
at the present time has a big ad-
vantage over many other states In
the union, I'm having plenty of school
money Only in the large cities is
there a scarcely OF funds. and there
is no reason why the country schools
OF this county might not be models.
