State Superintendent Gives Ideas on
School Children Who Pay More AL
ientiOH to Clothes Than Studies


r. H. Wilson. state superintendent
OF education, visited Chickasha yes
terday afternoon and investigated ed
ucational affairs especially with ref
erence TO country schools.
While in Chickasha superintendent
Wilson reiterated his criticism OF
overdress in public schools which was
made in Oklahoma City. In the opin-
ion Of the head Of the state school
system, satins, silks and high heel
shoes, which nowadays are SO popular
with some high school and grade
school students, are not only hinder
ing the progress Of the students, but
are destroying the democracy Of iae
school system.
Too many students, he says, are
more concerned about having their ap.
pearance reflect the very latest de-
cree in fashions than they are in the
satisfactory preparation and recita-
tOns Oh their lessons.
ut Is not an uncommon sight to see
young girls and boys going to school
every morning dressed as ii they were
going to attend some great social
function" said Mr.. Wilson. "Satins.
silks and high heel shoes make uD
their wearing apparel Clothes Of this
character are not only uncomfortable
and expensive, but they are detrimen.
tai to the best interests Of the chill
dren and of the public schools It has
been my observation that the pupils
who lead in the fine dress parade sell
dom lead in the serious work Of school.
The school is distinctly an institution
for learning, and not for the display
Of finery in dress"
Mr.. Wilson was talking in reply to
a request for an expression from him
on needed reforms in the school sys-
tenn.
"There are many reasons why chill
dren should not dress extravagantly
while attending school, he continued.
III is not in good taste. It is not in
line with the principles of thrift which
should be taught in our public schools.
1t causes all pupils in the school 20
attach too much importance to the
matter OF clothes. Satins, silks and

have been made to him by good judg-
es, r. B. Human declined to send his
famous stallion roadster, Prince
Patchen, to Oklahoma CITY to compete
at the state fair. This noble animal.
sired by the full blood brother to Joe
Patchen, the sire of Dan Patchen, cre-
ated a sensation in the ring when

best in the roadster grade class and
stirred the spectators to applause.
This was repeated when his owner,
on pinning the first prize to the vic
tor, dropped the reins and crawled un-
der Prince Patchen as he would under
a pet. The winners ring manners
were remarked by the crowd This
was the first time Prince Patchen was
ever exhibited.
Mr.. Human won other honors with
his fine stock Cever, in the roadster
class, won third prize even at his
weight, 1410 which was a splendid
showing. Dave Pannel colt from
Prince Patchen, won first prize in the
colt roadster grade class. He is a
beautiful colt and is marked like his
grand sire, George Wilke.
J. r. Brown also carried off honors
in the same department and J. L..

Carranza officials at Juarez, how
ever refuse to believe that there has
been another Villa attack on Chihua-
hua City, saying that the message pro
badly referred to firing Tuesday morn
inf by excited outposts.
It is believed that Carranza will
again attempt to depose Gen, Trevino,
commander in Chihuahua A high de-
facto government official at Juarez
said Trevino was either a villista Or
coward.
Rumors that Villa was captured IN
Chihuahua City created excitement at
Juarez today. Communication had

MADE MONEY IN
BROOM CORN

What may be done when farmers
hit it right in broom corn in this sec
tion was demonstrated by the expert
ence Of well known farmer who was
here yesterday. This farmer owns a
farm in the Washita valley near
Chickasha but last year rented a place
near Lindsay. He cleared $4,000 on
corn and broom corn during the sea-
son just ended and after paying OFF
all his obligations and selling off what
stock he did not need he came ont
with his farm tools, three teams and
5000 in cash to the good.
A big yield and the high prices
which was commanded by broom corn
this year made this possible.
