A superintendent of schools should
be allowed to be superintendent OF
schools. This idea was forcibly
brought out in a paper on THE Re
lation OF the Community and the
Teacher" by Principal William Bate
OF the Mankato high school at a
meeting of the Social Science club,
held last evening In the library OF
DR.. j. w. Andrews. Mr.. Bate said
in part:
"If the community does expect its
teachers or the professional heads
OF its educational system TO be CON-
petent to decide the matters men,
toned, then by all means the CON-
munity should allow these people who
are to be responsible the oppor-
tunity to show whether or not they
can do the work. In other words, II
the superintendent and principals of
the schools are looked upon as par
ties wholly. capable of running the
schools, then they should be allowed
the freedom which will enable them
to work out the best ideas they have.
"Too often we find the picture of
superintendent, supposedly the edu-
cational head of the of the schools,
unable to make the advances in the
system that he would like to make
and which would derive a greater
benefit to the community, because in
relaity he is merely the supervisory
head of the teaching force, entrusted
with the supervision of the routine
matters of teaching and not entrust-
ed with the determining OF the edu-
caticnal policies for the schools.
Situation In One City.
81 have seen a situation in GER
tain city, where the superintendent
2f schools was man of sound ideas,
recognized outside his community as
leader In the educational life of
his estate and yet occpying such po-
sition that il would be Of no effect
not only restrained from deciding
by himself but afraid to propose a
change of curriculum i'm meeting

he knew that the whiEi OF some mem
Der of the board or that the ignorant
opposition of some part Of the boards
constituency would probably either
defeat or at least so change his prop
ositio nthat 1t would be of no effect.
Finally that man left the city where
he was engaged, and I understand
they now have a professional head
for their schools that Is satisfactory
to those In authority, for he never
proposed anything new that will be
tax on the treasury and most OF
the members of the board are run
ming for reelection on a record for
cutting down the expense Of the
schools. What the result will be In
the efficiency of the system remains
to be seen.
What | want to point out Is, the
community engages teachers, and
administrative officers, especially.
who are supposed to be trained by
7tudy and experience I'm their work.
These people are expected to be COM
petent to do their work, which Is
the running of the schools, from the,
educational point OF view. Now. then,
In my own thinking at least, and I
believe In the mind Of every reason
able person, Il is the community's
business to make plain what results
they want, give all the financial and
moral support that they. can to the
teachers and. finally. allow the teach
ers to use the best methods avail

Pleasant Evening at the lLoyola Club.
II was German night ut the Loyola
club house last evening. About four
hundred were present. II was a
session wherein the language, cos
toms and Institutions of the father
land were dominant The songs,
games and supper were all charac-
teristically German. A play entitled
Kitchen Warfare. was one of the
main features of the program. This
was given by the amateur actors of
the .Loyola.
The principal speaker OF The even
ing was Rev. Fatheb Alfred Spirig
of st. Peter and 10 Paul's church.
Father. .Spirig talked ,,ap pthe present
European war. He declared his
firm belief that the, Germans were
in the right He said It was most
remarkable that with so many of the
great powers of the world against
Germany, not one foot of German
soil was held by the enemy. He
spoke of the wonderful progress
Germany had made in every depart
ment of Science, and how her com
merce had been taking the markets
of the world away from England.
He said this progress had made other
European powers jealous, and England
especially was eager TO crush Ger.
many on account Of this commercial
rivalry. He said IT was this jealousy
that had led to THE coalition OF
powers against Germany. and Ger
many had been driven to seek an
alliance with Austria in self-defence.

HAS
AN ABUNDANT
WATER SUPPLY
CITY LAKE SUFFICIENT FOR CITY
TWICE THE SIZE OF ARDMORE.
PLENTY OF ROOM IN 1T FOR
TWICE THE WATER.-,.

While Oklahoma City is facing what
may be water famine, and other
cities in the state are apprehensive as
to their water supply, Ardmore has
never a worry on that score because
the city water supply is sufficient for
city many times larger than Ard
more is at present, and the water at
the city lake is not half way over
the spillway at that, with an immense
watershed to draw from.
Some time ago there was apprehen-
sion about our water supply, the pro-
tracted dry weather for a couple of
years, with a slight rainfall, reduced
the supply almost to the minimum of
safety, but the rains came as they
always do, and the water in the lake
gradually rose until people have for
gotten the incident. Insurance men
who visit this city, congratulate the
citizens of Ardmore on their water
supply. and that, coupled with the
efficient fire department that we boast
of, makes insurance rates in this city
very reasonable. The healthfulness
of the city water supply is attested
by every physician in the city, who
say that the only cases of pneumonia
that prevail here, are the result of
few wells in the city that are still
used by people for domestic purposes,
but these are gradually being done
away with.

UNITED STATES MARSHAL HERE.
Progress is Being Made in Enforce
ment of Liquor Law.

United States Marshal Enloe is
here attending the sessions of the
federal court and will remain here
until the term ends. In speaking
of liquor enforcement he says the
task has proven to be an enormous
one, but that great progress has
been made. He is especially pleased
with his man here, Dick Hignight,
who has been devoted to the work
of enforcing the federal liquor laws.
Mr.. Enloe says in every town in
his district better conditions prevail,
the press has been with the office
in law enforcement, and he says
the press has been a factor for good.
Slowly the people are being arous
ed to the necessity of law enforce
ment, men are realizing that it is
a crime for them to buy whiskey
and by that means encourage others
to violate the law, the federal force
has not made itself unpopular by
needlessly prosecuting the man who
brings in an amount for his own
use, but is devoting its energies to
the prosecution of those who intro
duce for the purpose of selling.
