Action that VIII almost GER
tainly result in making Pacific
Lutheran Academy at Falkland
the principal Norwegian Lutheran
school of the Pacific coast, was
taken by the board OF trustees
of the academy Friday.
The meeting was part of a
movement that is healing an old
religious dissension among Nor
wegians in America, it was ex-
planned by professor at the aca-
denny.
The Norwegian Lutheran
church has for years been split
into three branches.
Close Everett School.
One branch, calling itself the
Synod church, established it's sec
tartan school for the Northwest at
Falkland, about 25 years ago. An
other branch, known as the Unit
ed church, has a school at Ever
EFT. The third has one at Spo-
kane.
Many attempts have been made
to reunite the church, without
result, until early this summer,
when at meeting in st. Paul, diff
ferences were finally reconciled.
The trustees of the Falkland
academy Friday voted to turn
over the school property to the re-
organized church. On acceptance
of the institution, which is be-
lieved certain, it is understood
that the school at Everett will be
discontinued and the Falkland
school will serve the entire west
ern part of the state and most of
the Eacific coast.

PERFECT MOTHER is often the
MOST TYRANNICAL OF her sex.
She accomplishes marvels with
her children. They never dis

They are models at school, and
members of the mothers club are
all anxious to find out how the
perfect mother does 1t.
But very often the average busy
mothers are educating the future
senators and governors, by their
halfway methods of doing things
which leave something for the
child to decide for himself and to
execute according to his own
fancy.
The perfect mothers control OF
her children often amounts to
hypnotism.
The child trained from the
beginning to walt for his
mothers Judgment never gets
into any trouble, never makes
any mistakes. But he never
arrives anywhere, either, be-
cause he has been despoiled
of his initiative.

been stamped out Of him. He has
not even a will of his own. And

The president Of the Oklahoma InSur
ance Agents association, II. ) She'or
81 Muskogec, has resigned and a new
bill is being drafted for introduction
into the legislature.
Bill Is Cause
Senate bill No 100 did the mischief.
II was framed by a legislative commit
tee composed OF I'd Seamans and T.
z. Braniff and others, and introduced
in the senate by Senators Risen, Logan,
Mcintosh and Keller. 1t took practl-
cally all power away from the state IA
suYsnce commissioner and gave 1t 10
the state insurance board W, X. Sam
uel, secretary OF the state insurance
board was strong supporter OF the
bill which was designed TO give him
more power. II took away the power ot
fixing rates from C. I. ingalls, oi the
Oklahoma rating bureau and gave It to
the state board.
Letter TO Agents.
H. s. Shclor who was elected prcsi.
dent OF the Oklahoma Insurance Agents
association in December, was not cor
suited in the drafting OF the bill. His
formal letter OF resignation was ten
dered after the bill was introduced and
stated that he resigned because he coul
not look after the affairs OF the oiil,e
But in the same mail was letter 70
state agents calling their attention e
senate bill No. 100 and suggesting that
II was dangerous to their interests.
Insurance men say that the bill great.
" curtails activities OF state agent
and promotes the interests OF loca
agents. State agents object to the pro
visions taking away the power oi th'
state insurance commissioner.
