THE LADY EDITORS.

Opinions Universally Favorsbs.

The ladies OF Ardmore took charge
of the ARDMoRETTE Thursday and
got out the paper. II Is no nattery
to say that 1t Is one Of the spiciest
and best eight page paper that has
reached this ONCE in many a day.
Not only has 1t many sparkling, pol
ished essays, but It has many prActi-
cal editorial paragraphs written in
crisp and attractive style.
Some of them show that the good
ladies who edited 1t carry level
heads. For instance we can COM
mend the following to our readers:
How delightful a small central
park would be in our little city, with
a pavilion band stand, wherein our
band boys could discourse sweet
music these warm summer evenings"
The following shows that the pro-
prietors had ample notice OF the
coming OF the ladies and prepared
for it:

about the "ofice towel" The ARD
MoREITE ofiice is neat and clean"
We hope the ladies viii try their
hand again.-Gainesville Hesperian.
The Ardmore ARDMoREITE was
turned over TO the ladies OF that

MoREITE office is neat and clean"
II those ladies knew how long that
towel was boiled in earbolic acid
and other disinfectants, they might
reverse a hastily formed decision.-

BETTER SOHOOLHOUsES.

The recent troubles in the City School
Department have been profitable in show
ing that the money of the department is
unwisely employed, and that this is the
result of politics in the management of
school affairs. There is another phase of
the subject that should receive attention
while the general matter is under review.
This is the inadequacy and inferiority of
the public schoolhouses of the City. Not
only are they crowded beyond the point of
comfort and health, but they are at best
inferior wooden buildings and are con-
stantly in need of repairs which they do
not receive. In many cases the lots on
which they stand were never provided
with proper drainage, with the result that
in the rainy season the cellars are flooded
and INJURIOUS dampness and decay ensue
In billy city where drainage is so easily
secured this fault amounts to scandal.
We are all familiar with the disgraceful
wrangles which arise out of any propo-
sition to repair the buildings or erect new
ones. In nearly every board of trustees
are intelligent and conscientious members
