OPEN AIR SCHOOL
NOT LIKELY SOON,
WH|TEF0RD SAYS
Advocates Plan But Sees No
Hope Of Getting Funds,

Il see no possibility Of open air
schools in Oklahoma City Just now"
said J, A. Whiteiord, superintendent OF
city schools, this morning. This was
Mr. Whiteiords answer when asked
what he thought Of the plan proposed
by Jules Schevitz, secretary Of the OK
Iahoma state Association for the Pre-.
yention Of Tuberculosis, to have open
air school, for childreR predi,po,ed to
tuberculosis.
War Has Bad Effect.
"I have always advocated such
schools" said Mr. Whiteford, "and
recommended them in my annual re-
port TO the board Of education last
spring They were included in the gen
cral improvements that were voted
down by the people Of Oklahoma City
when the general vote for school bonds
was launched in the spring.
This is a building proposition and
war conditions have had such a bad sf.
feet on bonds that it is hardly likely
that such a proposition would carry
here" said Mr.. Whteiord.
Mr. Whlteiord went on to say that
these schools would be a splendid thing
for the school children OF Oklahoma
City, that in all oher cities where it
had been tried out il had proved a great
success, and Il am for it, he said.
Wants Schools in State.
Mr.. Schevitz says that not only In
Oklahoma City will open air schools
for children inclined to tuberculosis be
advocated by the society, but all over
the state.
lie says that arrangements arc being
made to have committees appointed m
every county who will be in charge oi
local chldren's welfare campaigns.
Dr. Leila Andrews is in charge Of
chldrenS welfare work for the women's
division OF the state council of national
defense, and she will help with this
work The association is preparing
to have exhibits on child welfare
throughout the state in the near fu-
ture, Mr.. SChevitz SAYS.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Eyery I'M
naturalized German male over IL

postoffice authorities during the first
week of February. according to an
nouncement made here by the de-

is estimated that the decision will
affect approximately 100000 Germans
IN the United States. The registra-
ton will be undertaken in Pursuance
to President Wilson's alien enemy
proclamation as means of minimiz-
ing danger of enemy sympathizers.
Earlier plans of registration in the
eastern cities and gradually extend
ing it to the country We're abandoned
because of the fear that some Ger
mans might avoid registration by
moving from district to district.
Registration will involve gathering

On this point ~e recently ran
across an interesting. farm story,
fresh from the prairies of the west.
The moral is one that cannot be TOO
often emphasized; and this is the
story as the American Cooperative
Journal gives 1t:
They tell of an old grandma who
was sitting in front of her home,
knitting in the sunshine, when an
immigrant with covered wagon drew
up his team and gave them a reN
and drink.
Howdy,' spoke up grandma

cents pound and other crops in
proportion as was the case a few
years ago, you might have tried your
best to save, and yet have accom-
plished practically nothing. Now it
is different There is a big margin
to save from, and yoh can store up
an insurance fund and liberty loan
against further trouble. And this
is worth doing not merely for the
material advantages it will bring out,
but as moral exercise, an exercise
in character building. Every time you
spend for an unwise or unworthy
purpose, you have strengthened your
character. 1t is mental and moral
discipline. 1t was in recognition of
this principle that famous old
John Ploughman said Learn to say
than to be able to read Latin No
parent should think he has properly
trained a child until he has taught
that child to save money. For the
reason first mentioned, it is one of
the fundamental moral virtues as
well as indispensable to financial sue
cess.
No matter whether you are able
to save much or not, if you save what
you can, you will almost surely be
independent eventually. We recently
heard of man and his wife who
agreed when married that they would
save every ten cent piece they got.
Whether in payment for something
or in making change. and this SIM
pie expedient has resulted in piling
up surprising and satisfactory bank
account AS an Italian workman once
said: 81 make ont dollar day and
