much ability. The board of education
at Ardmore has shown great wisdom
in the selection of superintendent
Richards. He has scholarship, charac-
ter, and the power of leadership, and
he knows how to impart in an inter
esting way his information to others
and to make diplomatic and success
ful application of his educational
ideals to any community. Kentucky
has lost one of her foremost educators,
one we greatly regret to lose; and
the teaching profession of Oklahoma
has gained one who will become at
once an efficient leader in the cause
of education in the state of Oklaho-
