IMPROVING MAIN STREET

The Main street of year ago in
Ardmore is not the Main street or
today. There have been many i'm
provements. Owners are building mod
ern fronts, putting in new ceilings and
new floors. There are few things that
add so much to the appea, arce of the
business district as the modern front.
While these changes are III progress
still there remains much to be done.
There are some corrugated tin avn
ings on Main street that belong more
to some logging town on navigable
stream than they belong to progress
i've city like Ardmore. There are
some business fronts that need to be
changed. Revenues from rents are
sufficient to justify modern improve
ments. Modern improvements attract
the progressive man, and when the
business thoroughfares are modern
the entire city has better chance &c
grow.

OLD GLORY REDEEMS
U. S. MARITIME BUSINESS

Washington, Aug. 31.-The Ameri-
can flag now floats over more ships
in the foreign trade than at any time
since 1853 and the United States is
pressing close on France and Norway
as maritime nations.
Figures made public Monday by the
department of commerce show that
on June 80, 1915, there were regis
tered in the foreign trade s,76S ships,
totaling 1,S13,775 gross tons, an in
crease of 363 ships and 1888 tons
for the year.
Practically all the increases are due
to the new American registry law.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the de-
partment of commerce said in state
ment Monday:
This is about triple the increase
in registered tonnage for any previous
year in American history. Our reg
istered tonnage is now much greater
than at any time since 1868, when
we had 2,O26,114 gross tons in foreign
trade. 1t is many times more eff
ficient, however, as the steam ton
mage now is 1,273,7OO gross tons, while
in 1863 it amounted to only 1929
tons.
THE increase from the ship regis
try act of August is, 1911, to June
49, 1915, was SO rapid that tonnage
under the American flag now employ
ed in foreign trade is nearly equal
to such tonnage under the French or
Norwegian flags. British tonnage OF
course, is more than ten-fold greater

THE SCHOOL PLANT
AND RECREATION

Men will not tolerate in public
school building a performance they
might witness without protest in 9TH
er places, says Clarence A. Perry, in
bulletin just issued by the U. S.
bureau of education. For this reason
DR.. Perry thinks the movement to use
the school plant for social and recre-
ational purposes is destined to purify
as well as popularize amusements.
"The teaching staff and other ma
chinery of the public schools are dedi-
Gated by the people to a betterment
service" says DR.. Perry, therefore,
society will not permit the building
erected solely for that purpose to be
put to a contrary USE
Statistics gathered by DR.. Perry
from As leading cities in the United
States show that in one month there
we're over 100000 attendances upon
evening functions in the public school
building of these cities. The bulletin
declares that these figures mean so
many evenings spent in wholesome ac-
tivity by persons, many of whom
would otherwise have spent that time
in less beneficial or in positively harm
ful pastimes. "These 500, 900 instances
of the influence of the school in one
month. whether scattered over many
persons or concentrated upon few,
indicate the tremendous force for
righteousness that was extended by
one months extension work in these
As cities
"The public character of all func'
tions held in the school buildings has
the effect of censoring those func-
tions." asserts Dr. Perry. "The activity
which a group heartily, publicly, and
unashamedly seeks, affords the kind
of expression that its members need.
When youths and maidens consort in
public-school buildings in social life,
we may be certain that instincts OF
racial importance are being cherished
instead of exploited"
unfortunately" says DIR. Perry, "a
large number of young people, in the
heyday of life, are devoting their am
pie margins of energy to passive amuse
ments and degenerating satisfactions
What holds these young people back
from profitable .pastime is lack OF
meeting places and leadership. Suta
BILE meeting places and wise leader
ship, would, for vast majority OF
them, change the evenings of waste
and drifting into times of upbuildine
and character-strengthening. The op
portunity which society needs for this
purpose it possesses in the vast equip
ment of the public school which lie:
idle otherwise during the period o
popular leisure"
