EIGHTY "TEACHERAGES" BUILT
IN OKLAHOMA DURING 1919.

There are 223 homes for teachers in
rural school districts in Oklahoma, of
which eighty were built during the
last year, at a cost of $5i.70T, according
10 information at the office of X. III.
Wilson, State Superintendent. The move
for "teacherages" was started several
years ago. when district boards began
building houses near the school build
inEs for the teachers and their fam
lilies. 1t was done as :; matter of econ

other ways as well that the system has
been extended. During the last year
113 new school buildings were built in
the rural districts. 1t is also reported
that for the last year the attendance

MAY ACT ON PACT
LAST OF THE WEEK

William Jennings Bryan, at Lincoln
Monday. said that ii was infinitely
more important that the peace treaty
be ratified before Jan. 16 with con-
cessions by both sides than to continue
a state of war for fourteen months
until the people could decide at the
coming elections. He expressed the be-
lief that the Senate would ratify the
treaty by Friday so that the United
States could enter the league of ma
tions at it's first session on that day.
Mr.. Bryan again denied that there
was. any break" between him and
the President over the treaty. Neither
knew what the other was going to say
relative to the treaty prior to the Jack
son Day banquet recently held at Wash
ington, he said.
