Outlook for Next Year.
The work Is well organized and each
teacher will have the entire summer
season to plan for efficient work. The
city will have splendid quarters. The
two new buildings being completed VIII
give Ardmore as handsome buildings
as any city of like proportions tn this
section There will be six more whlte
teachers and one more colored teacher
which addition will strengthen the
schools In every way. over seven
hundred dollars worth OF equipment
are in the rooms not there at last

broadened In High School, retouched
In all the grades and all the ways are
plain before teachers, pupils parents
and trustees. so Il seems that matters
could not be more propitious for

YOU read IN every item herein telling
anything Of stronger growth for your

the end Of this report. The one thing
best OF all in looking back over the
year lies not in the expenditure OF dol
lars aud cents and the returns there
from in material things, but In the
fields OF sympathy and love, in the re-
glons of character, lie the greatest
gains of the year. It was ideal OF the
Board, the end Of all teacher EFFORT
and the necessity of every pupil that
Ardmore schools stand for merit, for
honor, able conduct and Christian
character building. The statement
can be made and proved that there Is
nothing loose and unrennod about the

our mouths, something better still for
