TEACHER GETS COLD
FEET DESERTS SCHOOL


That the Harris school had been
without a teacher for a week was not
known to County Superintendent M
H. Shepard until he was notified yes
terday afternoon that new teacher
had been found and would get on the
job today.
1t happened this way. Following a
recent resignation Mr.. Shepard en-
gagged a man whom he thought would
stick and a week ago Monday drove
him out sixteen miles in the early
morning in the cold in order to get
the applicant to his new position on
time. Arriving there ahead Of any Of
the students the county officer dropped
the new man believing that he would
open school at the proper time. For
a week the people have been looking
for the new instructor which the coun-
ty superintendent had promised to fur
nish them and yesterday Harvey Viii
liams of Chickasha was engaged and
is now performing the duties. No one
in the district had seen or heard of
the new man.

Be Organized Friday

The question Of jurisdiction being
settled, Verden will now undertake
the organization Of boys and girls
clubs to engage in the industries and
compete for prizes which clubs ID nine
other districts III Grady county are al
ready striving for.
Yesterday Mrs. Nettie Cogyell for
the girls school, and County Superin-

County Agent Cooper for the boys
schools, went to Verden to explain
the project and the matter was taken
under consideration until Friday.
Verden being on the Caddo county
line there has been question as to
whose district the patrons belonged,

thorities recently ruled that it should
come within the jurisdiction OF Grady
county.

State Superintendent Wilson Asserts Pres
eni Legislature Has Been Both Best
and Poorest for Education
MANY GOOD BILLS
ARE CALENDARED
Way Paved for Important Favorable Legis-
IaIiOn which would Promote
Education
By United PRESS


Oklahoma City March 1.-THE Sixth
Oklahoma legislature. Insofar as its
actions affect the youth Of our state,
has not been a success This was the
conclusion reached today following AN
interview with State superintendent
Icf Public Instruction X. Fl. Wilson.
Although Wilson did not declare the
present session to have failed in its
duties toward the schools, bat even
went SO far as to say that II the ses-
sion finished up its present school pro-
gram II would have done more for cd
ucation than any previous Legislature,
still It was felt by those in position
to know conditions at the fapitol that
practically nothing more could be done
with school measures. TIf the present
school Legislation program goes
through the Sixth Legislature win have
done more for Us than any otlier." de-
clared wilson "But II 1t does not
pass any more bills pertaining to
school affairs than It has already
done, this session win have been the
poorest or any since statehood.
More good legislation for schools
has been introduced and placed on the
calendars In both houses than at any
previous legislature" said the state
superintendent. "Little to date has
been passed. The transfer law good
one. which provides that districts not
furnishing high schools shall pay the
tuition Of children from their districts
who must attend high schools IN other
districts. was passed during the pres
ent session. Another bill passed, with
an appropriation Of s125,oo0 provides
for consolidated rural schools. Ap-
proximately thirty-fiye xchools will
benefit by this. | favored the free text
book bill which was defeated"
Some Of tho bills now before the
legislature which Wilson declares
should pass are: Bill providing
term Of four years for county sperm
tendents: bill making 1t illegal for
teacher to make more than one con-
tract the same teaching season; bill
for free county libraries; union graded
school districts hill; bill providing
home on school grounds In rural dis
tricts for teachers; bill creating
state text book commission: bill au-
thorizing the state superintendent to
issue d bi-weekly bulletin to state
bill providing that school
must present clean bill Of

the roads will receive first attention
and the balance will be applied to the
three hills
Arrangements were made today
with contractor to finish the job,
which will assure a good thoroughfare.
He was to have begun his task tomor-
roy morning but postponed operations
until Monday with the snow FAIL When
he finishes his task there viii be moth
