HERE S A POLITICAL.
SN ARL WHICH SEEM s.
LIABLE TO KICK Up A.
ROW IN THE PR|M A RY.

There is considerable discussion go
ing on among interested candidates
for county office, whether there will
be general registration of all vot-
ers before the primary election or not,
and so far very little information can
be obtained on the subject.
County Attorney Brown stated Sat
urday. that he had taken the matter
up with the attorney general, also
with the chairman of the state cleo
tion board, but has been unable to
secure any material satisfaction.
Under the law no general registra-
tion throughout the state was to have
been held this year, but it has been
intimated that the matter might be
taken up by individual counties, and
voters registered, provided money
shall be subscribed to pay the ex-
penses Of registration.
Since the last general election there
has been many changes made in the
general attitude of elections, and un-
less some immediate steps are taken

No one knows accurately how

Ardmore School System and Faculty
In Address to 1920 Graduating Class

The announcement exercises of

address, while w. X. Burnitt, presi-
dent OF the board of education pre-
sented the diplomas.

did addresses in most dignified and
pleasing manner. They have made

and the honors accorded them at the

The program opened with a selec-

one Of the most successful in the

The invocation and benediction was
pronounced by DR.. Crayton $. Brooks

Education is the only cure fol

1t reduces from four to three the

cial aptitude it makes easy the carry

"To be sure all of this is not
achieved without extra money cost
pr opposition upon other grounds.
Your presence on this platform is
proof that Ardmore is willing 20 pay
for the education of her children,
and still more strange, has courage
to stand against opposition in behalf
Of their children.
Another respect in which your di-
ploma is especially significant is that
the high school of Ardmore repre-
sents a larger average of promotion
to the school system than is usual.
Ordinarily only nine students OF
each 100 of n school enrolment in
this country are in the high school
An average above II is regarded with
envy by most ClteS.
"I.eavenworth, in Kansas, has an
average Of II. The Newtons, in
Massachusetts, have an average OF

But Leavenworth and the New
tons are not usual communities. The
former city fills its high school part

GERS quarters at Ft. Leavenworth
The Newtons fill their high schco
with the children of especially privi
! legged class.
"As far as my knowledge goe!

no public school system in Americf
has more creditable average o.

Most Progressive System
"A third respect in which your di
ploma has especial character is tina
here in Ardmore the most progressive
methods Of modern pedagogy haV'
been consistently and conservatiyel!
and yet resolutely employed to fl
the course Of education to the child
rather than the child TO the cours

1.-The course Of wisdom thus lies
somewhere between the school with
out any vocational training which
will uncover talents and the school
like shat in Gary, which covers over
discipline and mind for the sake of
freedom from discipline and training
of hand. A median course has been
admirably developed by the board Of
education and superintendent in Ard
more.
"The system is suited to the child
still further by the pioneering pro-
gress which has been made here
through psychological tests.
"The State Normal School Of Kan
sas has undertaken various parts of
this scheme in various cities of that
state Similarly the present hoads
Of the department OF education OF
Yale introduced some Of these tests
into the schools of Minneapolis. Pea
body Institute for Teachers at Nash
vile. Tenn, has used them in its
model school. In California they
have been somewhat extensively
adapted. How evident it is, then
that the schools of Ardmore are in
this respect in the front line OF all
the schools of America
Doubly Fortunate
"You are fortunate further in com
pleting your course in the public
school in day when the old and
best standards of life have an EN-
phasis they have never been giver

that it is in the air-the whirl ol
