leaves the school system n careful
study is made Of the reasons leaving,
this is entered and the record sent to
the superintendent office, where
each year is compiled a report Of the
reasons pupils leaving, the percent
cf these failing in subjects and what
subjects cause failures and disap-
polntments, and many other facts
needed Icy modern school system.
In speaking Of these records Sup
erintendent Richards said that we
have records adapted to our work, to
our special requirements and that
he believes they are as complete and
efficient as amy in the country. Tho
principals are all greatly pleased and
believe that the school system will be
better served, pupils viii gain by
the change aad teachers win be able
10 keep these with the least possible
work. This last factor was one Of
the most important considerations in
designing the new forms.
Mr.. Rinsland has had considerable
experience in designing office records,
especially during his service in the
army The system Of recording the
vocations Of all men in camp. Of fiji
inS acquisitions for large numbers
Of men Of various vocational ability
and educational qualification ana Of
transferring these men. as used in
his office at Camp Travis, Texas. was
said to be the simplest ana most
efficient Of any camp and the plan
of using these in all camps was UNI
der consideration when armistice was
signed.
In speaking Of these records Mr.
Rinsllnd said that he hoped to see
a uniform system Of records similar
to these adopted by the state for al
public schools. The high school in
spectors could with the least amount
Cf trouble inspect the records and
see that they are kept uniformly,
that when a child is transferred from
one school to another uniform records
of the state would then be organized
or a plan similar to the records of
large industrial firms operating in
many cities.

Ardmore public schools enter to-
morrow on the closing month of one
of the years work which are worthy
of more than passing mention, includ-
ing the installation of playground
apparatus: the perfecting of plans
for the erection of Junior high
school; and the first year of the
department of research and vocation
al guidance. under the direction OF
Henry u. Rinsland. This department
in public schools is being recognized
throughout the United States as be
ing one Of the most important factors
in the entire system and is being
rapidly adopted 10y leading schools.
II would be quite impossible to so
into details Of this department, Gov
cr1ug as il does a complete scientific
study OF subjects OF the grades, ana
including an intelligence survey from
the sixth grade through the gradu'
sung class.
\ close study has been made Of
the eliminatons in school. just what
percent " children drop out at each
grade. why they leave school and
what remedies must be adopted to
stop the leak. Mr. Riusland has
compared the Ardmore public schools
with 290 other schools and finds
The climinations 80 per cent less than
the average big city system, or IN
other words Ardmore schools gradu-
ate 80 per cent more Pupils, per
school population, from the mgh
school than the average big city
schools
In his intelligence survey, by
means Of psychological tests, Mr..
Rinsland found that every member
of the senior class rated above the
average man in the army and that
the greater percent Of pupils in the
high school measure above the aver
age.
Ardmorc may feel justly proud of
her public schools and of having at
its head Il man Of such broad vision
as Superintendent G. w. Richards
through whose efforts the depart
ment was established.
Statistics show that Ardmore is
the only city of its size in the Unit
ed States that has such a depart-
mont. Ardmore ranks with Oakland,
Cal. Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio,
and other large cities. In speaking
of his work mere Mr.. Rinsland said:
"Ardmore is one of the few cities
in the southwest where l would at
tempt this work. Mr.. Richards is a
man Of broad educational vision and
one Of the very few men in the
southwest who. has recognized the
trend Of modern education
The numerical strength of gradu'
atiug classes is the unit by which
the general public judges the success
and growth Of an educational insu.
tuition This year Ardmore boasts
the largest graduating class in its
history, the graduating class Of the
hish school numbering 81, while
there are 1876 grammar school grad
yates from the four wards.

work is given in the Senior class

New Records Adontel

The city schools have made

these records wree found very effect

superintendent Richards asked Mr..
Rinsland, director of research and
guidance to investigate and find a
new record applicable TO this sys-
tenn. This brought forth great
number Of records from many com
panies making school records, but
none were found that would suit the
work of the Ardmore schools. Some

START OF "GREAT WHITE Way
First Attempt at Electric lllumlns.
tion In New York Took Place N
December, 1880.

The first electric illumination OF ,
New York street was attempted De-
cember 20, 1880, when a trial was
given to the new system of street
lighting. With the crude apparatus
then in use the result was far from
brilliant, and was but a, dim forecast
of the wonders to be accomplished In
the future.
As result of this and other test
1t was predicted by many experts
that electricity could never take the
place of gas as an economical and
efficient method Of lighting streets
Poor as 1t was, however, the first
electric display OF street illumination
in the American metropolis marked the
dim beginning Of the "Great White
Way" and the transformation Of
Broadway by night into scene Of das
xling splendor such as our grandfa
Tiers could never have dreamed Of.
The first display Of electric light.
ing on a large scale was at the Paris
exposition Of 1878, when the wonders
Of the electric candle" Of Paul Jab.
loenkofr, a Russian engineer, startled
the world. The Partisan display, how
ever, was dim and droll compared with
the marvels since accomplished.
