THE GROWTH OF OKLAHOMA SCHOOLS

The increase IN population in Okla
homa as shown by the federal census
in 1910 and 1920 was 224 per cent,
while the increase in the number q
children Of school age was 3O.5 per
cent.
In 1910 there were 5000 teachers
teaching in the public schools OF Ok
lahoma. In 1920 there We're 1910
teachers. vi which number 2.4l9 We're
teaching in high schools. In 1910
there were 2,O95 teachers holding
first grade certificates and better and
5.90j holding second and third grade
certificates. In 1920 there were $500
teachers holding first grades certifi-
Gates and better and $3.50 holding
second and third grade certificates.
II will be seen from this statement
that while we have almost doubled
our teaching force in ten years, all
of the gain has been OF the better
type of teachers, and that there are
actually fewer Of the second and
third grade class than there We're ten
years ago.
There are 1895 one-teacher schools
in Oklahoma at this time: 1.217 two
teacher schools: 1871 hree-teacher
schools: 122 four.teacher schools and
223 schools having five or more teach.

in which no %four-year high school
is maintained. TO which we add 305
more high schools in which 4 four-year
course is maintained and fully accred-
tied making a grand total Of 6,45S
schools.
In 1907 there We're approximately 10
accredited high schools. In 1912 there
were % accredited high schools Of
record. In 1929 there We're 3O5 four
year accredited high schools.
In 1911 there Were 3.725 pupils who
finished the common schools and re-
ceived the diplomas; in 1920 there were
Is, 036 pupils who finished the eighth
grade. In 1907, from the best records
we can find there were bou 200
children graduated from high school
in what is now Oklahoma. In 1920
there We're 5,'572 graduating from high
school.
In 1911 there were 443 ,227 children

WE Must pisARI..


Just as long as We have big stand-
ing armies and powerful navies We
can have no promise Of lasting peace.
Say what one may and do what one
may, peace can only come when ar
mics are disbanded and nayies are
dismantled.
That is the conclusion of the argu-
ment5 against wars and in favor OF
peace.
To accomplish this purpose all ma
lions must act in concert. or course
it is not expected that all nations will
disarm Immediately, but all can dis
arm gradually, with perfect safety.
Al twenty-five per cent or even ten
per cent annual reduction and in tel,
years or less the well known dove Of
peace will be able to stretch her
wings over world at peace.
without armies and nayies there
can be no wars.
And when armies are disbanded and
navies are dismantled it should be
regarded as crime Of the first mag
nitude to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of de.
struction.
Peace is the longing Of the nation.
IT was its longing before that celes-
tial multitude sang with the angels
praising God and saying: Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men,
A gradual and final disarmament
of the nations is the only hope Of uni
versal and lasting peace.
Soldiers and sailors in uniforms,
machine guns. dreadnoughts, and 9th
er implements of destruction, are not
the emblems of peace.
These things mean war.

GENERAL PETER HARRIS REFus-
rs TO OBEY COURT

Shall a man be held in contempt
of court or betray that which he con-
siders a sacred trust? The question
is as old as courts and is one that
will present itself as long as courts
exist. After all, mans conscience
is the supreme court: its verdict is
the one that matters most.
The case Of Mayor General Peter
j. Harris, adjutant general of the
army, offers this question for consid-
Grafton in a new light. The facts in
dictate that this was the situation:
An ex-service man was suing his wife
for divorce. His attorney thought
that certain information in the selec-
tive draft files could be used to good
advantage against the defendant, He
asked the coure for their preservation.
The Judge ordered General Harris to
deliver these papers into his hands.
The adjutant general refused. He stat.
Cd that President Wilson when the
selective drafe act was II the making
solemny promised that information il
the cue stionaries pertaining to pnysi-
cal condition, relating to dependents
ard other matters would be regarded
as confidential and that under no cir
cumstances would it be produced as
evidence Of any sort.
Under these circumstances. one
can readily appreciate the position
taken By General Harris. We know
nothing Of the details Of this particu-
lar suit. They have not been made
public and no. doubt are quite COM
nonpIace.. Divorce proceedings are
SO common nowadays that they arr
| hardly worthy Of mention in the press
dispatches. While in this instance Il
is sought to produce these documents
in favor Of the man who was drafted,
the moral involved is unchanged. The
woman's rights are equal to those Of
( her husband.
General Harris also pointed out that
! to submit the papers of one man
would make him bound to submit
those Of others called for on similar
occasions, and the natural and right
] thiRE FOR him To do was to refuse to
obey the courts order. The judge
felt that the dignity of his office had
been outraged and consequently the
adjuant general was sentenced to
serve ten days in prison, which he has
not served and we seriously doubt if
he viii ever put in time for the Of
Tense. Public opinion is in his favor,
