here by Malcolm Gray, secretary of
the state board of administration.

When Miss Wooster Ordered Prof w. N. Peck Dis
charged Because He Smokes and Plays Bridge-County
Attorney Comes Here Help School Superintendent.

arron there is the biggest disturbance
since the flood waters came down
from Pueblo. The school board is
standing behind Prof. Peck. Ditto a
considerable majority of citizens.
On the other side of the fight is the
Rev. James w. Little, pastor of the
Methodist church, who leads the local
campaign to present the town school
head as a Horrible Example. The
Rev. Mr.. Little is reported to have
requested that hostilities be stayed
until late in the month. He is to
dedicate a new $4,000 church soon
and there was a feeling that the trou-
BILE might interfere with prompt rails
ing of the $11,0 deficit.
Won't Help Lift Church Debt.
Now, it is reported, the town school
board and a number of citizens want
the Rev. Mr.. Little to resign. Nor will
they sign Miss Wooster's nominating
petitions for a third term. Neither
wilt they help lift the church debt.
The whole town seems up to the eyes
in sin and dissension.
The other day Miss Wooster-1oad-
ed with information that Professor
Peck smoked and played bridge and
danced-sent new man out to
Cimarron TO train the youth of the
town. But the school board refused
10 make a change. 1t held that Pro-
fessor Peck's certificate was signed BY
the state board and that Miss Wooster
hadn't made proper arrangements
with the bookkeeper regarding the
taking out of a stack of chips. There
upon both sides went to the attorney
generaf-and the attorney general
promptly went out of town.
Teachers Must Not Dance.
The club which Professor Peck
Joined is a social organization. Sew
erai lady school teachers in the town
attend its sessions. According to a
statement by County Attorney Brice,
Miss Wooster has sent notice to the
board that the lady instructors must
look for jobs in states with lower
moral standards if they insist on
dancing. The board, tho, is stepped
in It's sin. 1t has sent Miss Wooster
courteous and poIite-but rather
poilte that it prefers
TO be its own judge of the moral
standards of its teaching corps.

Goodness gracious!
H=-A--F

GOOdneSS gracious!
Miss Lorraine E Wooster, state su-
perintendent of public instruction, has
unearthed another scandal She has
found that morals of the school chill
dren of Cimarron are being trampled
under foot. Ideals for the youth of
the state are being torn and scattered
to the winds.
Lizzen goils!
Superintendent w. n. Peck smokes.
Yezzir. Tobacco. Real cigars What 8
more he has defied Miss Wooster and
won't quit the nasty weed. Whadda-
yaknowaboutthat.
He Belongs To Club.
SSH! That amt all, either. Just
listen to this. Prof. Peck belongs to
a club and the club is a perfectly ter
rible place and all the bad people in
Cimarron go there and the carrying
on is something scandalous and every
thing. Uh huh. It's a regular den
of sin and iniquity-and the director
of juvenile thought and morals is one
of the ringleaders.
And Sophie-d'know what they do ?
No? oh, you wouldn't believe it
and Prof. Peck seemed like such a
nice young man when he went to
Cimarron, too. Yes sir, they sure do.
Right out in public, almost-dance
and play bridge-and Prof. Peck sits
there and defiantly smokes. Some
llIneSs Ihey play lhdl tHlH5 SdAASU Je'AA
ON the Victrola. d-and-and-
well, that awful game of bridge is
played with real gambling cards even
if they don't gamble! Yezzir!
Today the state house is all worked
up. The county seat of Gray county
is in an awful town row, Miss Wooster
has ordered Prof. Peck discharged,
has selected his successor and is out
to conquer new worlds. Harry Brice,
county attorney of Gray county, is
here today to help Prof. Peck hold his
job. Attorney General Hopkins has
gone away to look after some mys-
terious business somewhere and has
failed to answer letters as to the legal
side of the matter. Miss Wooster and
Prof. Peck talked today behind closed
doors. The conversation wasn't re-
ported by rounds.
Creates Big Disturbance.
