The Times can not fully understand
why the people Of Oakcs will not turn
out to hear a noted lecturer such as
DIR. Winship. The opportunity came
last Friday? evening, and the opera
house was not more than half filled.
Those who did go were highly pleased
with the scholarly address along edu-
cational lines.

ject of DIR. Winship's address. No
matter whether military, political or
civil achievement, the man who won
had to play the game. Same with the
boys and girls. Let them choose the
game they could play best; in short
let them choose the profession for
which they are best fitted.
DIR. Winship is decidedly in favor OF
consolidated schools. The little, old
schoolhouse was all right for the from
tier days, but just as the automobile
had displaced the oxteam, so should
fine modern rural school buildings dis
place the one-rOom school. The school
nurse was also something Of tn. fu-
ture. Some counties already had this
innovation, and more will have whe1
they come to know its great need. The
nurse is for the purpose Of looking af
ter the eyesight and hearing of the
children as we'll as sanitary condition:

The doctor is full of information
about our schools from a nationa
standpoint. He is editor OF the Jour
nal Of Education, published in Boston
and his trips across the country Civ,

comes in contact with the educator
of each state.

For the past three years the Tri-

The amount asked for such exhibitions
seemed exorbitant in years past, but
this year, with crops good and stretch

has been able to close a contract with

CONSERVING THE GAS

The Gas conservation order promulgated by the
corporation commission Sunday should have the
friendly support of every oil and gas producer in
Oklahoma The order, we have no doubt, is not
entirely satisfactory to everyone But il s an
order an honest attempt by the commission to end
wantou waste that comes precious near being
an Indictment of every oil producer in Oklahoma.
And it is, probably as good an order as the various
conflicting interests and customs Of the business
will permit
Public sentiment supports it. OF that there
is no doubt Natural gas is amost wonderful fuel,
and it should bee preserved for domestic uses as
closely as may be- That its waste heretofore has
been appalling is a matter concerning which there
will be no argument
The new rules entail some additional expense on
oil producers But their observance will result in
greater monetary returns to the producer in the
long run; for it may be held that the commission
will force fair treatment Of the producers by the
gas marketers So that eventually conservation Of
gas should prove beneficial to all concerned
As to the constutionality of the order-hat
We prefer to leave to the lawyers and courts The
purpose is sound, and the details for attaining the
end should be legal The Times does not consider
it likely that there will be any questioning of the
constitutlonay Of the order if the commission
continues to act with care and after fully inform
ing itself; for this gas wastage has been so great
that the oil men themselves have been appalled,
by it, The Times predicts they will cooperate with

BANKERS AND FARMERS

For several years those who have given the
closest study to agricultural requirements have
been urging the bankers of the country to take
closer personal interest in the farmer and hls
work Behind this advice was the conviction that
the farmer, as general proposition, was weak
on business and finance, and that the banker by
advising in such matters strengthened not only
the farmer, but himself
Mr. John Fields editor of the Oklahoma Farm
journal has been the most active propoeaudNt OF
this kind in Oklahoma and there IS scarcely a
banker in the commonwealth that has not been
compelled TO listen to the force of his arguments.
And this gospel he has been preaching is bear
ing fruit with promise Of an utimpe abundant
crop Of profits to both farmer and banker It Is
becoming II common thing to read ia 'hr various
Oklahoma newspapers. snaPpy, for'elu, and APP
