"Let We'll Enouqh Alone"

One of Americas multi-millionaires
began his business career with this
motto: let Well Enough Alone"
He well understood that frequent
changes are disrupting and disorgan-
izing to business enterprises. The
same rule holds good in the affairs
OF the city and more especially is this
rule good to apply TO the system of
public school. No one man as
teacher or superintendent ever
pleased all the people. The matter
that the school board should look
carefully to tomorrow in their choice
of a superintendent for the Ardmore
public school is the selection Of g
man who can do the most good fol
the pupils OF the schools. Or. in 9th
er words, let well enough alone and
not experiment with the untried.
