Six Days Pass Without
Police Court Session

Police are wondering whether this
week is the beginning of perfection
among people of Chickasha, or wheth-
er things are brewing and the calm OF
the past six days is simply that which
usually precedes a storm.
Not a single complaint has been
made out on the police court book
since last Sunday. July IL. Six days
have passed without single offender
being confronted with the severity OF
Police Judge Coffman.
However, the average for seven days
is not so bad. Nine complaints were
made by officers last Sunday on
breakers or near breakers of the law
That is a rather heavy business foI
one day. Sergeantd4ooney says.

ny united Fress.
London, July 17.--Lord Mersey,
chairman of the board which investi-
gated the sinking of the liner Lust
tania, today submitted the findings Of
the board to the admiralty.
The report declares that the Ger
mans torpedoed the vessel net only
for the purpose of sinking it but also
to destroy the lives of those on board.
1t was held that the claims of the
Germans that the vessel was armed
are untrue. 1t was found chat the lin
er carried a number of cases of cart
ridges but nothing in violation of the
laws of the United States.
It was further declared by the In
vestigators that the vessel was tor
pedoed without warning, giving the
passengers no chance to escape. While
1t was found that the captain did not
follow the admiralty rules strictly, the
assailants Of the vessel were solely
responsible for stories of ,eaky boats
and inefficient crew work, these stor-
les being mostly unfounded
The report absolved the admiralty
Of all blame in connection with the
disaster and said the orders of the
Cunard company regarding slow speed
were an insignificant factor.

For once the Leader agrees,
or parti.s ally agrees, with the
Sentinel. In tnH.at papers issue
of the 18th it hops onto the
Sheriff for wanting 9 deputy
and in last weeks issue it does
likewise to the County Attorney,
for having his salary increased.
The Leader did not fight the
passage of these bills for the
reason it believed the same was
a mai,vl TO be decided by the
taxpayers, as they are the ones
who have to pay these bills, and
the increase may have been just.
The Legislature increased the
duties of the Sheriff by making
him tax collector and he may be
entitled to a deputy, but, as the
cntinel states "the duties of
the County Attorney have not
been increased, and they can see
no reason why his salary should
be raised" we will have to agree,

OUR OREGON STATE
INSTITUTION
The School for the Deaf

~
lem, situated on the Oregon
Electric railway, is a school for
the purpose of teaching the deaf
children of the State.
There is a farm with this
school and twenty-five Holstein
cows and a number of chickens.
Here most of the products for
the school is raised. They can
not use all of the food 80 much
of it is sent to other institutions
of the State. The buildings are
made of brick and are modern
in every respect.
The children could not heal
a bell or hear the teacher call, so
she waves her handkerchief.
This Is seen by the children, who
have vely bright eyes.
The children are given their
first lesson by sounds. The
teacher places letters, such as
H, X, P, T, on the board and
calls upon a certain child to
sound them. If 1t is hard for
them to distinguish the move
ments of their teachers teeth
and tongue they will place their
hand over the mouth to feel her
breath or place 1t on her throat
to feel the vibrations of the vo-
cal cords. The children will
hold a mirror before their
mouths to see the movement of
the tongue.
The children range from six
to twenty-oIe years of age. A
child may not enter into this
school until six years old. If
the Parents of a child discover
it is deaf they should write to
the deaf school and valuable in
formation will be given them for
the care of the child until 1t is
old enough to enter the school.
Deaf children, at home, are Of
ten mistreated.
A visitor at this school was
once asked to examine a class
, The teacher gave him a piece
of paper with the pictures of
, doll, dog, etc. On another
!, sheet was the names of these
! things. The visitor asked a lit
, tie girl to show him a picture Of
a doll. This she did, Then he
asked her to show him the name
of a doll. She did this also
!. The children are taught to read
! verw much when they are in the
higher grades, and also write
compositions. A little girl wal
4 asked for her note book once
a Though she was totally deaf
she understood him. When h
y, got through with 1t he salt
- "Thank YOU" She said "Yo'
are welcome"
. The children are wakened II
. the morning by turning on tn
n lights at six o'clock. At six
e. forty they have breakfast; af
IL ter breakfast the girls wasl
