TEACHING METHODS

teacher. The problem must be clear
ly seen, defined and kept in mind.
Material on the problem should be
gathered and all such not bearing on

step Of organizing what they have

Rural Life Discussed.
Prof. L. ]. Hanifan then took up
the subject: 1.-THE Rural Life Prob
lem and the School," He showed
that this problem is composed of
four other problems. First the agri-
cultural problem, then the rural
church problem, the rural school
problem and the good roads prob
lem. The agricultural problem is the
greatest because prosperity in a com
munity is necessary for the working
out of the other three problems. But
no one Of these problems can be sim
gled out and carried very far ahead
without bringing along the other
three.
As a usual thing when u boards
Of education fail to carry out the up
to-date Improvements 1t is because
the people are not back Of the boards.
Something will be accomplished when
the people not only get back OF the
boards but get after them. The peo-
pie must want a thing before It will

Cooperation of kind that is by no
means common is manifested by the
local Rock Island employees who are
seeking more business for the corpo-
ration which they serve. There can
be no question as to the fundamental
soundness of the policy upon which
the men are proceeding. The amount
Of employment which the railroad com
pany has and the money available for
payrolls depends in the last analysis
upon the volume Of business handled
and the economies that can be effect
ed in the operation of the road. It is
indeed hopeful sign when the en-
ployers and employees thus pool forces
for the promotion of mutual interests.
If the same principle were applied in
all lines Of business and industry it
would undoubtedly tend to bring
about better relations between capital
and labor to the advantage of both.

GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS NEEDED

We have always had plenty of peo-
pie in Chickasna who would say, Eyes,
we need good roads and they ought to
do something about 1t" but the tronble
has been that we have never had any
organized effort in this direction. 1t
is true that the matter has been talk
ed from time to time and committees
that never did anything have been ap-
pointed but for the most part we have
been content to let road improvement
drift along in an aimless fashion.
Now, with the enthusiasm generat-
ed by the Ozark Trails convention
still running through our systems, we
have started out to have some united
action. The Grady County Highway
association has been launched and it
is being pushed by some determined
citizens who want to make it a sue
cess A small membership fee has
been fixed, the purpose apparently be-
ing to provide for the minimum
amount OF paying ana The maximum
of individual work OF course, there
will be plenty of paying to do before
the thing is over but that will come
later in the form Of taxes or contribu-
tions to specific projects. You can
become member of this noble order
for very small sum and every citi-
zen of Chickasha is therefore expected
to fall in line.
With five hundred or more men en-
rolled in this association and all work
ing at the job we can do almost any
thing we want to do in the way of
improving our roads. We have not
the slightest doubt that the combined
wisdom and energy of band of citi-
zens who mean business will be equal
to the task Of building the Ozark Trail |
and pulling off any other undertaking
they may tackle. The thing for you
to do. Mr. Citizen, is to get in on the
ground floor of this road building syn
dicate, and be one Of the active partici-
pants in it. You may have ideas that
are different from those held by your
neighbors and they may be better
that doesn't matter. Sail in and scrap
for what you think is for the best in !
terests Of the community instead of
standing around on the outside to scott
and criticize. We want it to become I
a well-known fact throughout the state
that Chickasha has bunch of road |
boosters who really do things. We
can easily acquire this enviable repu-
tation if all Of us will just get on the (
job Join the highway association and I
be in hurry about II

munity more prosperous. And while
you are engaged in this Christmas
shopping business, bear in mind that
the earlier you attend to it, the better
the merchants will be able to satisfy
your wants and the better it will suit
the working people who must serve
you. All Chickasha people should
wind up their purchasing several days
before the close of the season in order
to give the stores the best possible
chance to take care of the out-of-town
shoppers who will come during the
last few days.

While the speech of the German
chancellor in announcing the peace
proposal in the reichstag was clothed
in language calculated to provoke in
dignation in the hearts Of the allies
and the note itself was unhappily
Dhrased, it is altogether likely that
some sort of reply will be forthcom-
ing. tt is certain that the entente ma
tions will not silently accept respon-
sibility for continuance of the tragedy
the attitude in which the Teutonic dip
lomats have sought to place them. If
the exchange of communications serves
no other purpose than to bring out the
general lines upon which settlement
is possible, it may have the effect OF
bringing peace appreciably nearer.
