“Most of the speakers, however,

“In discussing the superintendent
at work, several speakers made the
point that democracy should be car-

The superintendent should share his
problem with the teachers in the

Following introduction of a num-
ber of bills to the state legislature
designed to regulate loaning agen-
cies, the seventh grade at Lamar
has taken up a study of personal
loans offered by agencies to find'
why reform may be needed.
Interest has been aroused especial-
ly in rates for small personal loans.
One child brought the following' to
the class:
A firm offered to plan 825 for five
months to be repaid in five monthly
installment of 85 50 each When
worked out in the arithmetic class
the pupils found the interest rate
was 38 per cent. Many other sums
and loan propositions were studied
and the heights discovered was
approximately 60 per cent. How-
ever. that was not representative
I of the majority.
The class has decided that repu-
table companies should be protect-
ed by proper legislation and that
the borrowed needs wise state regula-
tion for protection. Another week
will be used to study similar, and
practicable problems of loan com-
panies.

four years were given an opportun-

Members of the Booster club
of Abilene are not the only citi-
'sens of the city to don western
attire. The children of Central
school have become real cow-
boys, too Many of them have
very beautiful and complete
a costumes, while others are wear-
ing colorful neckerchiefs Be-
sides the great number of
"cowboys" there also are many
“cowgirls'' in school.
The fourth grade art classes
were busy Friday making a
frieze of the rodeo to be held
this month during the Boys’
Livestock Show. The wild cow
milking contest seemed t at-
tract more interest than any of
th* contests being drawn.
One of the youngest cowboys"
to Central was Edward Barfield,
six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
L E Barfield. An attractive
"cowgirl" was Laura Wood,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Den-
nis Wood.
Other children who gave
“gone western” include J. T.
