TEACHERS
MEET WAS
IMPORTANT

County Superintendent Shepard re-
turned yesterday from the State
eTachers association which was in
session in Oklahoma City for three
days last week and reports that 1t
was one Of the greatest meetings
that has ever been held in the his
tory of the association.
One Of the biggest features Of the
meeting outside Of the routine work
was the movement that was made by
certain elements to do away with the
state meeting and divide the work in
to districts. After a strong fight it
was managed to keep the association
meeting as it has been in the past.
one Of the most sensational fea-
lures that was brought out during the
meeting was the fact that there was,
in certain parts Of the state, schools
in which no other language was be-
ing taught except the German Ian
guage. 1t was shown, said Mr.. Shep-
ard. that in certain instances where
the school boards and county super
intendents had attempted to remedy
the matter the patrons would take
their children out Of school and or
ganize private schools for the pur-
pose of teaching the German Ian
guage to the children. In some in
stances the proposition was carried
so far that separate school houses
we're built by German inhabitants.
So far as the power Of the county
superintendents were concerned there
was no remedy for the situation and
it was brought before the associa-
ton with The hope that something
would be done to remedy the ques-
'tion.

$4,000 need OF
NAVAL MILITIA

Funds approximating $4,000 for the
coming biennial period will be needed
for naval militia work in the territory,
according to a decision reached last
night by the naval militia board in the
first meeting it has held under the
new organization.
Charles r. Wilder and Lieut.. s. w.
Tay, whose recent nominations by the
governor we're confirmed last Satur-
day by the senate, we're at the meet
ing. Others present were Lieut. Cmdr.
w H. Stroud and Paymaster G. D.
Bishop.
1t was decided that the former esti-
mate Of $4,000 was a little too low
to support the five divisions planned
for the militia in the coming period,
and that $4,000 should be asked for
instead. These five divisions are two
engineering, two deck and one aerial.
Cmdr. Stroud said today that this will
mean practically 500 men, The pre-
sent strength is liz men and eight
officers.
Stroud smiled today at mention of
the fact that legislators were much
pleased with the showing made by the
naval organization in the parade last
week.
