ADVOCATES Use
OF TYPEWRITER
IN THE SCHOOLS
lBx Associated Press.>

Chicago, Dec. 30.--Typewriters in
stead of pens for public school chill
dren were advocated today by Prof.
Franklin Robbitt, of the school OF ed
ucation of the University of Chicago,
in addressing the Illinois Woman's
Legislative Congress. He said that
public schools were only SO per cent
efficient.
ave have passed the quill per
stage in education. We are now az
the typewriter stage. II our schools
were properly equipped, they could do
in half a day what they now do in n
whole day."
The subject discussed was free text
books, and the congress voted to fa-
vor what is known ass the permissive
plan for free books.

iNGRATlTUDE WILL KILL TOWN.

Here Is a little story that we want
you to read clear through to the last
word and then if it possesses any
merit if the suggestion made ought
to be carried out, we ask that you
call up some friend an ask him to
read it.
If the bond issue carries next Mon
day Bert Simpson will pave the most
beautiful driveway in any city in this
state out in the southwest portion of
the city where he has purchased a
large number of lots He must have
the sewer lines and water lines laid
before the work can be done. He is
ready to begin that work tomorrow
morning and is waiting only on the
city to lay the lines mentioned.
You may ask how that paving and
how that improvement is going to
help me. That improvement means
labor to the hands to lay the pipes
and "a dig the disGlies, At means work
for thb paving crew, it means the
Guildibg of d half hundred houses
that will bring labor to carpenters,
plumbers, painters, paper hangers
and masons. 1t means that a bcauti.
full driveway will be built in Ard
more shaded by stately trees that
will be a beauty spot in the city it

will attract many people to this city
who will build homes and establish
factories and other kinds of bust
ness enterprises. 1t means that there
will be much more taxable property
in the city. And in the end the reve-
nue. from the sewerage and water
service established will pay the bonds
and the final result will be no eX-
pense to the men who vote the bonds.
But the voting of these bonds have
still greater meaning than any that
have been mentioned. That meaning
is the encouragement of Bert Simp-
son who has made million or two
in the oil fields and who is spending
it in Ardmore Bert Simpson is ad-
ding to the value of every piece of
property in the city He could have
taken that bunch of money and gone
to Denver or Los Angeles and lived
in luxury without labor the rest of
his life. But instead of that he is
working more hours and doing more
hard work than he ever did in his
life and that labor he is doing is
building your city He has some
plans ahead that will make you proud
of him and proud of Ardmore.
You know as well as we that Ard
more heretofore has neen consider
ed a poor town our per capita
wealth has been very low. This is
the first time that wealth has come
to any number of our citizens and
they are now doing the very things
for Ardmore that YOU would like to
have them do. They are building
handsome homes, they are improving
the business district, they are re
iuvenating the street car line that
was dead, they are putting new life I
N the city and every man who lives
n this city is getting the advantage |
If that energy and of that wealth.
We must choose Monday whether
We are going to take these people by .

by the recent special session of the
legislature, which was declared un-
constitutional by District Judge Old

peal was at once taken to the su-

Another case that has been watch

case is on rehearing and an order

was preposterous to expect the allies
to listen to peace talk till the issue of
that campaign was settled, and that
the pressure upon President Wilson to
intervene was ill-timed. The peculiar
irritation which the bare hint caused
in England was due to causes which
well meaning pacifists, looking only at
the apparent deadlock did not under
stand.
A campaign on so vast a scale
moves slowly, and the full test of
strength is yet to come. But before
fall ends it should be possible to meas
ure both the weight of the offensive
and the resisting power of Germany,
Bulgaria and Turkey. I'm
