THE END.

The United States has this to be
proud Of in contrast with most Of the
nations now at war in EurOpe-it has
stood for peace all along because that
was a reflection Of the national mind.
Some Of the powers which engaged in
recent world peace movements were
accused of having an eye to the main
chance. Not ready for war, they coun-
seled peace. Later, on all too slight
provocation for genuine peace lovers,
they rushed into war. This country's
peace principles date from a conflict
which was relatively one Of the fierc-
est Of modern times. Not alone senti
ment, but bitter experience was at the
root Of our hearty espousal Of arbitra-
ton and peace. Convictions as pro-
found would have discovered better
way to settle the European quarrels
than appeal to the sword. But normal
Europe thinks in terms of battleships
and heavy guns and strong battalions.
Like the ruffian with gun, only slight
provocation is needed to draw fire.

After yielding abjectly-or perhaps
only diplomatically-to Japan the Chi
nese are raising a defense fund and
preparing for national military organ
ization. Better late than never" and
perhaps it is not too late. In ordinary
times the relations between Japan and
China would have aroused keen inter-
est in the United States. Matters
would not have been permitted to drift
so far if the situation In Europe had
been normal. But with all the great
commercial nations preoccupied and
with even the United States involved
in foreign troubles Japan found a ia
vorable moment for exerting pressure
upon China and gaining concessions
the extent of which is still unknown to
outsiders. Japan is said to have given
assurances that the treaty rights OF
the United States were not affected by
the new Chino-Japanese arrangement
The proposal at the pan-Amer1can
conference in Washington for a joint
marine fleet to promote closer trade
and social relations, with joint court
to revise and establish suitable laws
to regulate international transactions,
looks good. 1t would be a sort Of
trading union, and all parties engaged
would find common interest in sub

BANQUET FOR HIGH
SCHOOL TEACHERS

An ancient proverb would lead us to
believe that there can be nothing new
under the sun. Be this true or not
true; certain it is that the high school
teachers were treated to a delightful
innovation Friday night in the shape
of a regal banquet rendered them by
twelve mothers of high school stu
dents
Special congratulations are due the
hostesses of this occasion upon their
keen discernment of the present need
of the school. A close, nay, an init
mate friendship between mother and
teacher, mere acquaintance will not
do.
SO brief is the period of youth and
its impressions so vital and lasting
that every precaution must be taken
to prevent well-meant but misdirected
training or education.
To make possible the attainment
of the ideal for the individual stu
dent held by either one of the guar
dams of the youth of Ardmore, there
must exist between them the closest
of sympathy and understanding as

City School Gardens.

That plan of superintendent Rich
ards to interest and instruct the
school children in growing gardens is
certainly worthy of applause from our
citizenship and should be promptly
and emphatically backed up by every
resident of the town. AS outlined,
Superintendent Richards has put much
careful thought into the plan which
he and the teachers propose to exc
people can undertake so much addi-
tional work on behalf of the children,
to say nothing of the Improvement in
civic attractiveness of the city surely
the rest of our citizenship will press
forward and lend helping hand when
ever it is needed.
How many owners of lots can give
over to the school gardens a quarter
half or whole acre to be apportioned
to class for the growing of vegeta-
bles?
How many have a few flowers or
! vegetable seed or bulbs that you will
donate to these little gardeners?
How many have berry plants, grape
cuttings, rose cuttings, or young
shrubs to give to the children?
Certainly parents can see nothing
but good in the plans of Superintend
cnt Richards, and will heartily coop
crate with him in his effort to take
the children to nature for some OF
their development and education, and
at the same time lead the children into
the habits of thrift and industry which
will likely remain with them through
life
Let's all place our shoulders to the
wheel and heave-ho for a hearty good
pull for Ardmore and her schools.

well as an absolute unity of purpose
and consistency of aim
1t was the realization of this truth
that made the following ladies' such
gracious and charming hostesses in
the school parlors Friday night: Mes
danes r.. A Adams, Attaway, Bur
nitt Daube, German, Graham, Kahn,
London, Lykins, Mccain, Ramsey,
Sandlin.
The tables were arranged to form a
Maltese cross. From a bed of crimson
carnations in the center of the table
rose a magnificent candelabrum whose
candles sent forth soft mellow light
that pervaded the whole room
IN no other way did the queenly
hospitality of the ladies display itself
more perfectly than in the elegance
and artistic arrangement of the table
Beautiful and unique place cards
directed the guests to their places
Covers had been laid for the follow
ing visitors and members of the facul-
ty: Mrs w. A. Ledbetter Of Oklaho-

1t follows as a fact
That we have "a brand new faculty
BY this one little act.
The depth of the guests apprecia-
tion of the bountiful and delicious
seven course repast found expression
in the toasts which followed. Mrs.
Mccain proved herself an accomplish
ed toast-mistress and her presentation
of the toast to the teachers composed
by Francis German, was most de-
lightful.
Here's to the teachers of the A II. S.

And good luck with you e'er abide
May all your wishes soon come true
All your requests be granted, too

Supt Richards and Prof. Erdman
responded for the faculty, expressing
in fitting words the sentiment of that
entire body. The festal board was
graced by some eminent visitors who
added much to the pleasure of the oc-
casion by their words of inspiration.
Miss Hirchler gave some very inter
esting "reminiscences of educational
banquets in the city of Boston.
Mrs. j. c. Thompson and Mrs. w.
A. Ledbetter, leading factors in the
organization of the first mothers clubs
of this city, spoke most enthusiast
ically on the comparison of now and
then. When the guests at last reluct
antly arose from the table, so per.
fectly had the ladies succeeded in
their plan of recreation, that a new
faculty did indeed proceed to the gym
nasium to cheer the boys and girls on
to victory in the basket ball games

For Greater and More Beautiful
Ardmore.
The Mothers club movement for
civic attractiveness is still gathering
momentum from additional impetus.
They now have Superintendent Rich
ards and the city schools added to
their forces and if there was any doubt
as to their ultimate success before, it
is all removed by this new splendid
power that has joined them.
AS we think of the big crop of
weeds that have annually been given
large space along and streets and
see them giving way to plats of vege-
tables bordered with flowers, a great
desire is born within us to help out
too.
Then what it will meant to the pent
up life of the boys and girls, who gath
er no lessons from the beautiful pages
of nature out in the great QUA Of

new thought from a dull printed page,
till all love for learning dies in the
bosom of many of the brightest and
best.
