SCHOOL
QUESTION
DISCUSSED
Superintendent Insirrcls Teachers on
Rounding Up School Work and Legal
Status Of Credits and Exams.

During the regular weekly meeting
on Thursday evening Of Grady county
school teachers in attendance at the
state normal now heia at Edmond,
several matters were brought up for
discussion by Superintendent Shepard.
The superintendent took up with the
teachers the subject with reference to
the organization of school work in the
county for the coming year and inn
pressed upon the teachers the impor-
tance OF putting life into this work
and Of spending their time in building
up the schools in their respective com
munities.
The importance of the county teach
ers taking the state examination at
Chickasha next week was discussed
following minute explanation of the
question Of credits and examinations
in Oklahoma, where 1t developed that
several county superintendent had
been at fault in accepting grades in
a manner not authorized by law. The
state board of education alone is au-
thorized to accept grades given by
high schools and colleges outside of
the state Of Oklahoma In this c0nnec-
tion the following letter issued by
State superintendent Of instruction r.
II. Wilson will be read with interest:
To the County Superintendents and
State Normal School Faculties:
My attention has been called to the
fact that students who have attended
the normal schools are asking county
superintendents to approve grades not
authorized by law. For instance: Such
persons are asking credit on one term
in domestic science when three terms
are required for graduation; on one
term in agriculture when two terms
are required and after September
first three terms will be required; and
are making other requests of a simi.
lar nature.
The law specifically provides that
credits may be accepted in lieu of an
examination when such subject is com.
pleted toward graduation. I notice
that some of these grades are not
properly certified to by the school
authorities. No grade Of this kind
should be accepted by any county su-
perintendent except when certified by
the president and registrar of the
state normal, the university, or the A
q M. College The object Of this re.
duirement Is that somebody shall as
sumo responsibility for these grades
for when once these grades are placed
on certificate, according to law. they
are permanently on the certificate.
It may be that county superintend
ents will find that teachers have been
promised credit in these grades which
do not meet the requirements by the
normal school, but the county superin-
tendent has duty to perform and il
a mistake has been made by a normal
school it is no reason why the super.
intendent should continue this mistake
and make it worse by putting on a GER
tificate a permanent grade which is

Judge Linn Decides He Has No Authority
to Grant Injunction Stopping
Exhibition
THE COURT ROOM
Is WELL FILLED
AIger Melton Ably Defends Rights Of
Contestants and Shows Where No
Ofense Has Been Committed

Argued and decided purely as les
gal proposition, there being no evil
dence offered BY either side, Judge
VIII Linn refused the injunction ask
cd for by County Attorney Venable to
restrain Texas Tate and Jim Flynn
from engaging In their fight on Tues
day night at University Ball park.
The decision was delivered right Off
the reel by the district Judge who did
not take the case under advisement.
He stated that the court had no au-
thority to enjoin the contestants in
this exhibition as they had not been
guilty Of any offense against the law.
IN support Of his position he cited de-
cisions from several supreme courts
The case. although involving and
presenting only legal points, attracted
an almost filled court room when pro-
ceedings we're begun at 10 O'clock this
morning. County Attorney Nenablo
had intended to place George Ellis
worth On the stand as Tates manager
to testify to the fact that a contract
had been made to carry on this exhibi-
ton bout-that 1t had been advertised
to take place and that they expected
to have a large attendance from the
outside. This, however, was not done.
The county attorney supported the
allegations made in his petition by ci-
tations from the statutes. Alger Mel
ton made strong argument against
the granting Of the injunction on the
ground that the court had no authori-
ty TO act in the matter. This was the
position taken by Judge Linn In his
decision. Mr. Melton contended that
in previous contests held here there
had been no violation a the law ON
which to base the assumption that q
violation would occur at Tuesdays
meet, An injunction Is issued In con-
hection with property rights or 70
abate public nuisance There was
no evidence, he contended, to show
that a public nuisance was being c6aa-
mitted or had been committed in the
past. Therefore the court had no ju-
in this matter
About half the city hall officials
were present at the argument as were
several county officials. Among the
other spectators we're men on both
sides OF the question.
Judge Linn stated in his decision
that there wofs no grounds on which
to ask for the injunction or on which
to grant it.
This ended one IT the most exciting
legal questions that has been before
the public Of Chiekasha for some time
and the contestants received much
free advertising as result OF the &C
ton OF the prosecuting attorney and
the fight made against the exhibition
from other sources In fact IL was
stated BY some that they had never
felt any special interest IN the coming
exhibition until the opposition to Il be-
gan and details printed which aroused
their curiosity.

morning for Oklahoma City 10 confihua
