Miss Louise Gill is a graduate

vocational agriculture under the
Smith-Hughes fund-a fund
authorized by Congress several

The Superintendent will be at
his office each day from 9 a. m.
till 5 p. m. the week before school
opens. Pupils who have never
been to school in Rockingham be-
fore should see him for cards of
admission and assignment to
grades. Pupils with conditions
to make up before promotion to
a higher grade should arrange
for this.
The school hours observed
during the past year, so far as
can be determined, did not prove
generally satisfactory. 1t has
been decided to make this change:
School will open promptly at 9
o'clock, with a recess from 10:45

cess will be given and children
and teachers allowed to 60 home
to lunch, provided this can be
done without hardness. A first
bell will ring at 1o'clock; a second
bell at lis at which time school
will begin promptly for the after
noon session. School will close
at 2:45.
Parents should see to it that
their children are in good physi-
cal condition and ready for school.
1t may be that a visit to the
family physician or the dentist
will save time and prevent
trouble later on.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 13.-The eighth
legislature is to get a chance TO pass
on the question of curtailing institu-
tional expansion Sen. Il. =. Hill of
McAlester yesterday introduced bill
calling for the abandonment for the
purposes TO which they are now de-
voted, of the secondary agricultural
schools at Warner, Tishomngo and
Lawton; the preparatory school ";
Tonkawa; the military academy at
Claremorc, THE Weathcrford normal
and the schools of mines at Miami

any or all these institutions as hnspit-
ais for sick and disabled world war
veterans, or for other needed purpos-
es, the institutions are not ITO con-
tinue after July l In their present
functions. Hill probably will ask thu
committee to which the measure is re-
feTred TO remove the Weatherford
normal from dhe list mentioned in the
bill
The bill may have been drawn with
the primary intent Of making pro
vision for sick soldiers But back OF
that is the feeling. nj least on the part
of HILL that the schools referred TO
are not needed by the state--that they
are liabilities instead of assets. It
the institutions are not converted into
hospitals they may be devoted TO some
other use, according to the bill. but
are not TO continue Operation as state
schools. An important field OF in
quiry is thereby thrown open. 1t is
possible Senate Bill No. 81 may lead
to the adoption of a new state policy
In respect to institutions--a policy of
consolidation; II may be decided the
state should devote its energy to
building few large institutions in-
stead of having their functions exer-
cised by many small institutions scat
tered throughout the state.
Senator Hin is besieged by persons
interested in ihe question brought up
by his bill. Most OF them seem con-

by the removal of an institution. Tn,
