ARDMoRE CITY SCHOOLS.

Since the openeing OF Ardmore's sys-
tenn of public schools is approaching
II may be appropriate for me TO address
a few preliminary remarks 10 parents
who expect to patronize the public
schools
am especially interested in the
progress OF the children in their
school work. The school this year
cannot be over seven months long.
To get the greatest value out of this
short term parents must see to II that
their children who are above the
fourth grade prepare a part OF their
lessons at home each night OF the
week Children below the fourth
grade should not study much. II any
at night. Parents and students should
see 10 II that school work is a bust.
ness-the child's most important bus.
mess. first above everything else for
seven months.
AS superintendent | shall insist on
thoroughness IN all school work done
by pupils and teachers. We cannot
afford to show any sympathy with any
parent who permits his child TO re-
main out OF school or to be constantly
tardy when SO much is depending ON
regularity and good, daily preparation
in all lessons.
All in all, Ardmore la to be con
graduated on her nice new school
buildings, splendid body OF teachers
and earnest, conscientious school
board. With only two exceptions the
seventeen teachers in the two new
buildings will have only one grade TO
teach. This will offer to the pupis
an opportunity to do much better work
than ever before This means that
the pupils In all higher grades will
have to work harder.
Again. | charge the parents to see
that their pupils above the fourth
grades do considerable work each
night.
Several important announcements
concerning the grades win appear in
the daily papers within a day or so.
