CODE COMMISSION
The District System

The district school system had its
origin in primative New England
whence it spread to other states. It
arose as purely local undertaking.
It reflects pioneer conditions. Wash.
ington inherited the system from the
older states.
Since the day when the district
system was first organized and estab-
lished great and fundamental changes
have taken place in American life.
Steam, electricity, improved marhip-
cry. cheap and rapid transportation
and communication, the factory sys-
tenn, the growth of manufacture and
the phenomnal growth of cities have
created new era.
In 1904 four per cent of our popu-
lation was urban, ninety per cent
rural; in 1920, ffty-two percent is
urban, forty-eight per cent rural
Domestic industry has been replaced
by the factory system which condi-
tions our modern home life. The
stage coach has been supplanted by
the automobile, the interurban and
the limited express. The telephone.
telegraph, submarine cable and wire
less have annihilated time and space.
These and host of other funda-
mental changes have conspired to pro.
duce a new civilization and have
brought such fire of criticism upon
the district system, its organization
and administration. that today We
have what is known as the rural
school problem"
Among other conditions that have
aroused criticism and created the
rural school problem may be mention.

WANT OLD TEXAS-OKLA
| { A c j { REVIVED

The baseball bug has again struck
Ardmore good and hard, and the
chances are that the old Texas-Okla-
homa League will be revived next
season with Ardmore as q member Of
the circuit.
For the past few years Ardmore has
been without organized baseball, and
as that is the only kind that will
be supported all the towns that com
prise the old circuit are anxious to
get back into organized baseball once
more, according TO information given.
local fans.
An effort was made last spring TO
re-oreanize the league, but the move
ment fell through for the reason that
the season was too far advanced and
most all players had been signed for
the season.
The tentative plans call for a league
that will be organized along sound
financial lines. The old league had
hard struggle for existence for
many reasons, and the league blew up
leaving n league STRANDED on tne
rocks. There are a lot of ambitious
young players who are anxious to
go higher who would welcome the
chance to indulge in organized base
ball in order to develop their abili-
ties, and who can be secured at sal
aries that will warrant the future
OF the league, the promoters believe.
Fred Nicholson Of the Pittsburg
Nationals, who is n product Of the
Texas-O Oklahoma League, Billy South
worth Of the same club, who is con-
sidered one Of the speediest outfield-
ers in the business, and Roll Naylor,
pitcher for the Philadelphia club are
all wintering in this city and their
aid will be sought in forming the
new organization.
Local fans are taking the matter
up seriously and have every assur-
ancc OF success. Ardmore wants or
ganized baseball and the promoters
are going to see that the want Is sup
piled.

to Republican charges Of government
waste and incfficiency during the

cratic vice presidential nominee, de-
olared In u series OF speeches through

that We had outlined program big
enough to maintain an army Of A.

to create new plants for shells, pow

Everybody concerned with tho pro-
gram-Republican and Democratic Of
ficals, general staff of the army and
the general board OF the navy--all
were united in the need Of that pro-
gram. Our purpose was to win the
war and we proposed to do It whether
1t took one year or ten.
No one In 1917 or even in the
first half Of l9lS-not even Marshal
Foch--could forescc that Germany
would quit that year. When ! talked
