PRESIDENT Of
SCHOOL BOARD
SUBMITS REPORT ON CONDITION
OF SCHOOLS OF THE CITY OF
ARDMORE.
Board Of Education,
City of Ardmore.

Gentlemen.
AS per your request | herewith sub
nit my report in writing of my in
spection of the schools OF our city.
When the schools had been in op-
Grafton for two weeks | spent two
days going through them and studying
and analy2ing the work that was be-
ing done in the various rooms and
by the various teachers.
One of the things that impressed
me was the complete organization of
the work throughout the four wards.
The work that is being done in the
various rooms of the first ward at
the same time and in the same way
is being done in each of the other
wards The students study the same
lessons at the same time in each Of
the wards. This of course shows the
complete organization of the work.
noticed that the students had
gotten quite a way over in their work
within the two weeks further than !
had expected. | asked the principals
of the various wards how it was that
the work was so far progressed in
such short time The answer in
substance was, the schools opened
and work was started practically the
same as if there had been no vaca-
tion.
The various teachers, at the request
of Mr.. Richards. the superintendent,
reported for work week before the
opening of school. During this week
the years work was practically gone
over, everything systematized and on
Friday, prior to the opening day, the
students were all requested to meet
their teachers in the various rooms
in order that they might be assigned
their places of work and that all
books might be purchased before the
opening day Practically the entire
student body responded to this re-
quest and reported on Friday, were
assigne their seats, given a list OF
their books and on Monday, the open
ing day, they all returned and work
WAS begun without break.
Another thing that thoroughly i'm
pressed me was the boosting spirit.
The students in every room all told
me that they had the best school and
the best teacher in the state. ] tho
roughly commend that spirit for
when student believes that he has
the best teacher and the best school
it is certain that his work will be
pleasure for him and he will accom-
plish more under these conditions
than if he did not so believe

GOV. ROBINSON
TO SPEAK HERE
CVERNOR-ELECT OF ARKANSAS
WILL DELIVER ADDRESS HERE
FRIDAY.

State democratic headquarters have
notified County Chairman Apple that
they have assigned Governor elect
J. r. Robinson of Arkansas for one
speech here, ana he will be in Ard
more to delve" that speech next Fri
day afternoon at a place to be des-
ignated later.
'rho county committee is indeed
fortunate in securing the services OF
so able man as Governor Robin
son although Young in years he is
considered one OF the coming men OF
the party in the southwest. At the
age of y he was elected to the Ar
kansas Legislature where he made a
reputation for himself as the baby
ed II years in congress and was
elected at the recent primary over
Governor Doneghay by $4,000 ma
jority.
This is but the beginning of what
the county committee hope to con-
tinue during the remainder of the
campaign and negotiations are pend
ing to have orators of national fame
address the people here in the near
future.
Chairman Apple stated this morn
ing that it was not definitely set
tied just where Mr.. Robinson would
speak. hut in all probability the
opera house will be secured.
