THE ILL WIND THAT BLEW GOOD

n GAIN has Galveston's sea-wal saved the
Texas island city from disaster or destruc-
ton. The terrific tropical storm which devas-
tated Corpus Christi and other small places
along the coast, left Galveston almost un-
harmed thanks to the great wall built against
the gulf tides after the unforgettable tragedy Of
September 8, 1900, when about ten thousand
persons in the island city were drowned or killed
and most of the city was demolished.
The present writer has vivid recollections of
the results of that hurricane having covered"
the event for metropolitan newspapers. A week
in Galveston, Immediately after the storm, was
one week of hell on earth. Any person who
saw the stricken city at that time is consider
ably relieved as to mental anxiety when the
annual tropical storm is brewing, by the knowl-
edge that the stout sea-wal protects the other
wise helpless populace.
There is familiar saying to the effect that
cts an i'll wind that blows nobody good" AS
suredly it was an i'll wind that blew dire harm to
Galveston nineteen years ago, but that same
wind undoubtedly blew good to many other
American cities. Out of the storm grew what
used to be known as "the Galveston plan" of
ity government.
The necessity for organizing some form Of
municipal government other than the slow-mov-
ing aldermanic body was pressed home upon
the surviving Galvestonians. They formed city
commission for the government of the place, to
bring order out of chaos 1t worked so we'll that
other cities took up the idea. Now there are
hundreds Of American cities which have done
away with the old-fashoned and out-of-date al
dermanic bodies and have adopted the commits
sion plan.
Many improvements have been made upon
the original Galveston idea, but in every city
where the commission gives better government
than did the board of aldermen-and that is.
the case in almost every city that has adopted
the innovation of 1900-the people should give
thanks to Galveston.

WE NEED MORE sCHOOLROOMS

at any one Of the four ward schools in this city

yesterday, are overcroWded. That is not the

schools are iammed.
We learn that in the seventh grade of the
First ward school, Just to mention one instance
Of jamming, there were eighty-four pupils yes
terday-and there are more to follow. Eighty

Think it over.
We are told also that the high school is
just about half as big in the matter of student
accommodation as it should be- Each of the
ward schools is iammed beyond the limit. Chill
dren are herded into Easements in some of the
schools. Superintendent Richards and his staff
are doing the very best they can, under the cir
cumstances but they can't hang children out
side the windows or hoist them up to the roofs
and give them scholastic treatment calculated to
make good citizens.
Every child in Ardmore is entitled to an
equal chance with every other child for a COM
mon school education. With the schools iammed
as at present, many children cannot enjoy that
equal chance. The demand for general educa-
ton is not altogether altruistic-there is a sort
Of selfish element in that demand, if we analyze
it closely Self-preservation is the law of So

when he said there is a possibility that
bolshevism may spread i'm threatening
proportions to the United States un
less the peace treaty is ratified

Of his address there is found the fol
lowing:

none of that poison has got into

asked. Men look you calmly in
the face, in America, and tell you

so long as the question of what
kind of peace the world was to
have and what guarantee We're
to be behind it remained open, the
poison would continue to spread.
How long shall we be kept
waiting for the answer whether
the world will trust us or de-

stands annoyed because an author
