at College Auditorium and
Prove One Of Best Organi-
cations Here.

Last night at the O. c. w. audi
torium the o. U, Glee club lived up
to all press agent reports and liter
ally knocked 'em off the Seats in
what was probably the most enjoyed
program given by an out-of-town or
ganization in the local auditorium
this year
The piece that injected plenty of
comedy into the program and reg
istered big with the audience that
packed the house to capacity, was
the one act piece of up4to-date grand
opera in which the eItire company
took part. The skit depicted the life
in a modern apartment house and
was a satire on Grand Opera. The
musical numbers were well render
ed and the entire skit went off with
out a hitch.
La donna mobile, sung in Ital-
ian by Joseph Benton proved to be
an exceedingly pleasing number,
while Miss Anderson, reader, scored
heavily in every number.
The program follows:

SCHOOL is
UNDER WAY
IN VERDEN
Successors to Resigned Instruc-
tors Appointed; Attorney
General Decides in Favor
of the Board.

The Verden school is opening al
10 k a. m. despite the shake-uI
last week, M. H. Shepard, county SUI
perintendent, stated this morning.
The trouble between Superintend-
ent Black and the Verden school
board eliminated yesterday in the
resignation Of Miss Ruth Profit, who
rendered her resignation as a result
of the boards ruling relative to the
time school should start The sue
cessors to Supt Black and the teach
ers who resigned have been appoint
ed.
County Superintendent Shepard
points out the decision of Prince
Freezing, attorney general of Okla
homa, in answer to the following
question::
First: Has The school board the
right to make rules and regulations
governing the management of the
school and set the time for opening
of same?" Answer: "Yes.'-
Second; Has the board the right
to change the hour Of opening school
from o'clock to another hour that
appears to be more convenient to
the patrons of the school" Answer;
"Yes."
"Third: Is it a violation Of the
law for the board of education Of
any school district to set the hour
of opening at 10 o'clock instead of
nine" Answer: "No."
FOURTH: Has the board the au-
thority to remove the superintend
ent or principal of the school when
he absolutely refuses to adhere to
the boards wishes IN the matter of
regulation" Answer: 'Yes"
"In the matters mentioned" the
opinion says, "that the power of
making rules and regulations for the
general control of schools, being vest
ed in a board, said board is required
to exercise same and that it cannot
be contracted away, should the board
and teachers so desire. The matter
referred to in the above questions
do not refer to the incidental details
such as control Of individual pupils
and does not interfere with the
teachers rights to manage their
schools and are purely matters Of
board control and not of teachers
discipline and discretion"
This decision was handed down
10 State superintendent Wilson on
request of Mr. Shepard, who asked
that the above mentioned questions
be answered in the opinion.
