The junior high school brought
educational interest in Chickasha to
a high pitch. Up to that time the
city had not paid its superintendent
and teachers much above the old
time $2,500.00 for the first and an
average of $4,000 to $4,000 for the
latter But it decided to get away
from that weakness and they called
to the head of the system Superin
tendent T. r. Montgomery, man
who had proved his ability as an
educator in many circles of edu-
cation. The enrolment shot up from
2,100 to 3,O49; the enrolment in
senior high school moved from 1870

junior high went up to 613, making
Chickasha an enrolment for high
school life of 894. No city OF its

CHICKASHA, A CENTER OF EDUCATION,
SAYS OKLAHOMA EDUCATOR IN ARTICLE

Chickasha was one of the first
educational systems of the state to
put in manual training and domestic
science. 1t began early If not the
earliest, to elevate the playing spirit
of children by putting special
teacher and leader into the work
for coaching basketball, football and
other games and for years the
schools have held their own with
Oklahoma City, Muskogee, Tulsa
and all the rest on the field in
athletic battle.
Some three years ago Chickasha
decided to do the thing so many
cities of Oklahoma talked about but
failed to do. 1t would try the junior
high school plan in truth. 1t would
erect a modern junior high school
plant, exclusively for this work and
place therin junior high school spec
ialists, and see just what a real pun
ior high school, unmixed and una
dulterated meant. OF course this
meant an outlay of many thousands
but that did not daunt Chickasha.
AT an expense of $1i0,O00OO they
put up the finest JUNIOR high school
plant then and now in Oklahoma,
which today would cost $500, 100000
to build, and placed it in charge of
