APRIL wRAITHs
By Perrin Holmes LOwley

And now another lyric April blows Her dim tunes from the hills. Spring roses twine. Clear floods of sunlight, coll with
 mountain snOws, Brim all the world with sparkling
 golden wine, Old joys are boIn again. oid
 dreams arise. And call my sport. like far, gleam-
 ing seas. Old sweethearts kiss my brow and
 mouth and eyes, With :!ps grown sweet as April rev
 cries. Forgotten Aprils, clad in cherry
 blooms, Come drifting back along the or
 chard streams: They fill my heart with olden, faint
 perfumes. And haunt me with the lethargy Of
 dreams!

Statement From New Club.

The program last Thursday night
was the first to be held under the
auspices of the Southern Oklahoma
Athletic association, duly incorpo-
rated organization, with a charter
from the secretary of state. 1t was a
particularly creditable program. Diff
ficulty was experienced in finding a
suitable place to hold the bouts. The
platform and ring caused considerable
favorable comment. as it was the
first many had seen, constructed ac-
cording to technical regulations.
1t is planned by the new corpora
tion to enlist the support of the
business and professional men of the
city in thorough-going plan to
erect modern club, with gymnasium
and natatorium in connection.

clamors furnished by those who un-
fortunately are not following the
ideal or by what they consider the
business advantage of the present.
SO we must look mostly to the stu
dent, the teacher and to the pupil for
our highest and purest ideals. We
should concede this much to them at
least
would, therefore say, in conclu-
sion, study the speeches of your grad
yates and of your teachers. Encourage
them to go forward to the attainment
of their ideals. Let them know that
you approve of their ideals and wish
to help them to grow in those ideals
and to attain them. Every one needs
announcement. No one is sufficient

of the young. They need the sup
port, endorsement and help of those

older and stronger Most of those out
of school know more than those in
school for they have lived longer and
learned things by the school of hard
knocks that the young are yet to
learn. But it must also be said that
too many of those out of school have
not been strong enough to stay with
their ideals. Too many have sacri-
feed them to what they deemed at
the time was expediency. But prac-
tically all candid men will advise you
that the gain was not worth the price
paid.
Then it behooves us all to help
teach the young the value of their
ideals. We should help encourage
them to grow strong enough to never
desert or sacrifice the ideal for any
apparent advantage or eXpedience.
If this is done Ardmore can be made
at least one of the best and greatest of
cities. Greatness is not measured by
size any more than the greatness of
men or countries is measured by their
size. The greatness of city is meas
ured by worthy accomplishment, so
with men, so with countries.
Let us therefore make our foremost
work the development of our greatest
resource, our boys and girls, and our
men and women. No one is ever too
old to learn and to do.
We will not forget the material de
velopment We could not If we de-
velop our human resources properly,
they will know how to, and will de
velop the material resources in every
worthy and legitimate way. Our peo-
pie must first know what to do and
how to do it before they can do what
they want to do and should do. Proper
and practical education for young,
middle aged. and old, for all, is the
right and only road to take. 1t is big
! enough and broad enough for all
. There is plenty to do and ample re-
ward for the full use of the time and
| energy for all There are wonderful
possibilities in the people of Ardmore,
and | have great faith that these pos
| sibilities will be in a large measure
| realized.
I Yours very truly,
