OUR SCHOOLS.

Before thhe members of the state
Democratic senate take a too active
part in the proposed decapitating mea-
sure soon TO be introduced, measures
which, in the name of retrenchment
and reform will cut off and put out
of commission some of the best Of
the smaller educational institutions Of
the state, it might be well for them
to pause and enquire carefully from
what fountain head these measures
will really eminate.
And it might be well for them
to pause long enough TO think, to
realize that every dollar they are
saving the taxpayers Of this state
through the closing Of any of the
schools, will be dollars saved at the
expense of the boys and girls Of
today, an expense which will be
charged against them and paid by
them in the years to come, in the
years Of the future, the years when
they will be thrown upon the world
TO fight the battles of life unpre.
pared and untitled with educations.
1t might be well for the Democratic
senators, before they cast their votes
for the elimination Of any of our
educational institutions, TO hesitate
long enough TO ask themselves if
they win not be voting in the in
terests of measures wherein the fine
Italian hand of the master politician
Of Oklahoma's Republican oEganiza-
ton is TO be seen.
1t may be possible that We have
too many schools in this state. 1t
might, also, be possible that we have
too many churches. For it can be
said with just as much truth, that
a man can be too religious, rs it can
be said that he can be too well
educated.
Oklahoma ranks well among the
other states in point Of educational
proficiency. For the Lords sake
don't let petty politics lead the SEN
aate into kowtowing 10 the will Of
the enemy through applying the axe
to the educational Institutions Of the
state.

the great loss to our normal prosper
ity.
How can we maintain the high walls
Of the American Zion and the high
standards Of comfort and prosperity
to which we are accustomed? Only
by individual sacrifice, by individual
savings replacing the destroyed stores
of capital needed for development
of our country.
If every family of five could put
in the bank . thousand dollars saw
ings in the coming two years the
great shellhole blown in our garnered
national wealth would be filled up
and we would be back TO normal.
It should not be difficult for the av-
erage man or woman to lay aside one
hundred dollars a year for the next
two years and it would restore our
equilibrium and avert a debacle.
Backed with sound judgment and
economy in public affairs, this nation
faces the most prosperous period of
its existence.
Have faith in your country, your
business, your fellow man. Nobody
ever played the United States short
and won.-Anadarko American.

Editorial
of the Day
KNlFING OUR SMALL SCHOOLS

(Muskogee Phoenlx)
Word comes from the forum across
the state taat that old Gladiator and
Dictator, Jim" Harris, has decreed
that it is to be thumbs down" on all
Of our smaller educational institutions.
Our own school at Warner is to go
with the others.
If the reports are true, if Jim
Harris has said that these schools
are TO be abolished, .hey no doubt
will be and anything that might be
said in their defense VIII have but
little weight. The hospital for wounded
and disabled veterans, that would have
given to Oklahoma S2,00O000 insti-
tuition without one cent OF cost, was
knitted as it was born because the
Grand Old Republican feared some
democratic Official might be protiting
in the proposal.
1t may be that the Warner school
is not a good investment, but those
who would condemn ii must present
more evidence than they have before
we are willing to believe it. OF the
l35 students now enrolled at Warner
105 come directly from the farms. It
cannot be said that the school is OF
a local character as the enrolment
today represents II counties in eastern
Oklahoma. The senior class comprises
12h per cent Of the total enrolment
and of those only one lives in War
ner and but five in Muskogee county.
These figures would seem to prove
that Warner is worth while. But it
has not been the size of its enroll
ment nor the wonderful things it has
school TO US in the past. At Warner
farmer lad may be educated in rural
environment. There are no movies" ,"
no Jazz" and no white lights to
make him discontented with mis- life
upon the farm. He leaves school the
same boy that entered, except that
he has become q better farmer. He
will return home just as willing TO
work as before, but with the know
ledge that will enable him to worl;
better.
Our big" agricultural schools in
many ways do as much harm as they
do good. The boy becomes a more eX'
pert farmer il is true, but he ha.
ceased to long 10 put his skill tC
the test. lie has tasted the wine o
city life-and 1t need by no means b.
large city--and the prospect of re
turn to the farm is abhorent to him
He has learned TO call it honest toll
drudgery. lie is educated now and h,
wants to be man Of the world. Al
a consequence when he finishes schoo
the world has gained a scientific agrl
culturist who becomes a bank clerl
and lost a passably good farmer VIII,
might have been better one,
The Phoenix feels that there i
much TO be said for the small agri
cultural school and that 1t would 10
well TO consider the question iron
all sides before The Big Boss Is per
mitted to WELD the pruning knife.

NUT-TREES FOR FARM AND
HIGHWAY

Let US have nut-trees along the
roadsides, and in our front yards,
and our back lots, says c. +. Bley,
in Rural Life (Rochester), and the
editor Of that magazine urges the
fact that we are importing $42 ,OOO, 600
worth Of nuts and producing only
some s26,0OO,OOO worth, as an obvi-
Gus warrant for activity. Nut-trees
on the highway not only shade the
hot, dusty roads, check destructive
winds, protect against drifting snow
they also add TO the nations food
supply. On the odd corners of the
farm they provide food, fuel. and
TIMBER. In front yards they add 10
the attractiveness OF the home. and
wherever they are they contribute law
ishly TO the joy Of circumambulating
youngsters. In u speech before the
Northern Nut-Growers' Association,
l)r. William A. Taylor, chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, is quoted
In Rural Life as saying:
Since the scourging Of our chest
nut forests by the Aslatic chestnut
blight has practically eliminated that
nut from consideration for orchard
planting in the infected territory until
resistant varieties yielding good crops
or nuts OF acceptable quality are oh.
tained or developed. we can hardly say
with assurance that we have any nut
Of proved adaptability in sight which
is worthy Of planting ON an extern
sive scale for its crop alone in the
Northern States.
Along the southern fringe OF "the
North as In Delaware. Maryland.
southern Ohio. Indiana Illinois. and
Missouri, exception In favor of the
hardy varieties OF pecans should prob
ably be noted, but in the light Of
present knowledge orchard planting
Of the commercially important almond,
Persian walnut. and pecan must be
left TO the Pacific coast and in the
South. This fact has been so gem
orally recognized that We have been
inclined to give up all thought of
attempting nut production in tho
North merely because large-scalo
/ operation Is not attractive.
II the world-war taught any ccono-
mic lesson to civilized men which they
should remember and act on. Il is that
low-cost food-rcserves should be pro-
vided against possible exigencles. They
are not needed every year. but when
needed their value can hardly be osti-
mated. only TO limited extent can
