JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENDS Term

The 1922 school term in the
Chickasha junior high school ended
last night with the commencement
program in the school auditorium.
"Life's Worth While Considera-
tions" was the subject of the COM
mencement address delivered by
Prof. c. P. Baber of the University
Of Oklahoma.
The speaker outlined lifes worth
while considerations as follows:
Education, respect for parents ana
home influence, influence of the
church and the Christian religion
and patriotism to the country and
the flag.
In discussing the necessity OF
higher education, the speaker de-
clared that statistics show that 79
per cent of the inmates in the ma
TONS reformatories never advanced
further in school than the third
grade. He gave many striking sta
tistics and illustrations showing the
necessity of a higher school and
college education, pointing to the

P|NCH0T VICTORY
SEES AWAKENING
Man Who Defeated Powerful Repub-

(By The United Prees.)

Milford, Pa, May 19.-Results of
the Pennsylvania election indicate
there is 10 be peoples awaken
ing" and better government will
follow, is the belief Of Clifford Pin
chot, progressiverepublican, victor
in the keystone states gubernatorial
primary.
Pinchot sees in his triumph over
the powerful state organization once
bossed by Cameron, Quay and Pen
rose, unmistakable signs of the ap-
preaching awakening" at least in
Pennsylvania.
Back home in Pike county, among
his neighbors who welcomed him
like a conquerer, Pinchot today was
completely surrounded by fishing
tackle. He had just emerged vic
torious from one of the most spec
tacular political battles of years, in
which he accomplished what a few
months ago even he himself con-
sidered impossible-the defeat of
the organization. He knew he was
again a national figure, as in the
old Rooseveltian days, and during
the famous Ballinger-Pinchot con.
servation fight. Politicians besieged
him, clamored for his attention,
tried to force themselves upon him.
81 said | was going fishing, and
fishing | am going" Pinchot replied
to all of them, and promptly exc
cuted his intentions. But, on the
way here, with few friends around
him and with his long legs stretch
ed out comfortably in Pullman
smoking room, he analysed the sig
nificance of his victory.
He had to be careful what hi
said, for he had just given PROUD
men a defeat that humbled theil
pride and he is determined that hi
victory shall unite rather than dis
rupt the republican party in Penn
