TAKE THE OFFENSIVE

NOW that Foch is about to visit this country, we
shall doubtless hear quoted many times the fam
Gus message which he sent to Iofre during the crisis
OF the first battle the Marne We do not recall
the exact wording but il ran something like this
My left wing has been turned my right wing is
rereating am attacking with the center"
And we all know how he saved the dav for
France by forcing the Germans to stop their advance
and withdraw to point where they could mend
the breach which Foch's little wedge made in their
line. All honor to the man who had the courage to
;ake the offensive
We need today little of the moral courage that
Foch displayed the Marne. In the business
world with business declining many statesmen have
gone on the defensive, anxiousy scanning the sales
sheet to see ii their sales are falling off more rapidly
than their fellows instead of concentrating on new
campaigns and more aggressive efforts
For now OF all times is the hour to take the OF
ienSve remembering that the man who takes
the offensive chooses the hour and the place to do
battle or in terms of salesmanship that YOU choose
the line of argument and plan of approach which
seems most likely to make the sale We too often
forget as statesmen that it is more difficult for the
buyer to answer our arguments than it is for him
to state his own stock ones which frequent oppor-
unity to has led him to believe are gospel truth
Again we say all honor to Foch who had the
courage TO take the offensive and may we get some
personal inspiration from that fatefu phrase Il am

ARDMORE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

THOMAS r. Marshall. former governor OF In
diana and former vice president of the United
States, is contributing series OF articles to the
press OF the country. An article from the pen OF
Mr.. Marshall appeared in Sundays Dallas News on
the subject OF education Mr. Marshall takes the
view tina. the schools are wasting much OF their
power and influence for good by educating
boys and girls for some specific work.
In this article he refers to but one school in the
United States as a school which is applying the
principle of psychology and is doing scientific edu-
catona work.
That one school is at Ardmore
The schools here have a system Of determining
the work that a pupil is fitted to do and then to
educate them along practical lines for that specific
thing With this system boy should step from
the school into practical work equipped to make a
success. Under the rule that prevails in the vast
majority of schools pupils must obtain all the prac
teal knowledge they require after they leave school

STRIKE POSSIBILITY ONLY THING
WORRYING L. {. Y. CONVENTION CITY

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct 2O.-
The only thing that is worrying the
officials of the Confederate reunion
committee now Is the possibility of
railroad strike on the evening of Oc-
tober 80, and even that should not pre-
vent the attendance of all people in
the Confederate zone of the country
upon the reunion. All of the commit
tees preparations to entertain
large crowd of people are about com-
pleted and the hope is entertained
that fear of a railroad strike win not
deter any who have made their ar
langements TO he in Chattanooga upon
the reunion occasion. The committee
in the first instance, does not be-
licvc there will be strike. but even
IL there is every visitor can leave
Chattanooga as late as October IS
the day after the reunion closes. and
reach their homes before the strike be
gins. They can travel from Chattanoo-
ga to the Atlantic scaboard in -
hours: from Chattanooga to central Tex
as in 36 hours; from Chattanooga to
the Mexican border in As hours; from
Chattanooga to st. Louis I'm 80 hours:
from Chattanooga to Richmond, Va, in
% hours; and from Chattanooga TO the
center of Confederate territory in less
than one day
Sixty hours will elapse between the
morning of October 2S and the time
set for the railroad strike and in that
time person can ride almost to Den
yer, Col, or to Kansas City in u lit
lie more than half the time. Il is cas-
lily possible for 90 per cent of the
people who attend Confederate reun-
ions to leave Chattanooga on the
morning of October %. two days after
the close of the reunion and reach
their homes before the date of the rail-
road strike arrives. Hence it appears
positively sure that no visitors to the
reunion is in the least danger of
becoming stranded even if the strike
materalizes on schedule time.
The railroads have made public their
reunion tariff sheet providing for the
purchase Of round trip tickets for
the reunion occasion. The price of tick.
cts from all stations to Chattanooga
is printed in the tariff in bold figures

misunderstanding about either the cost

round trip passage. As matter of
fact the printed prices are for the
round "trip. clearly so stated in the
tariff sheet The fares az, remarkably
low for these reunion tickets. The local
agents will doubtless supply the pub
lie with all the information contained
in the tariff sheet. both as To price of
tickets and the route of travel to
and from Chattanooga. They have
been supplied with all his informa-
tion and ii is now public property
Some complaint has reached reunion
headquarters that local agents were
not supplying information upon re-
quest about reunion tickets. This lack
of information is due to the fact that
no' until Friday Ct last week had the
railway officials east of the river com
plctcd their tariff sheets. and i'm adj
vance of this very important work, no
10 the local agents. Those agents who
may have given information were
speaking without official sanction, and
in scme instances the information they
gave the public was incorrect. One of
these complaints came TO the commit
tee from Mayesvile, Ky, to the effect
that the local agent there had given
out the information that the cost Of
ticket TO Chattanooga would he $3.50
one way only. The printed tariff sheet
shows that the cost Of "A round trip
ticket from Mayesville, Ky, 10 Chat
tanooga is $3.50. The agent at Mayes-
vile had doubtless heard that a re-
uni ticket y Chattanooga would cost
the figure quoted and that II was
q one-way ticket. 1t is Sl6 miles rom
AIayesville to Chattanooga or 632 for
the round trip by the nearest route
Selection OF another route doubtless
explains the slight discrepancy between
the rate and the mileage. Other COM
plants have come from Texas, Ark
ansas and Oklahoma but the facts
are that not until this week had the
Southwestern Passenger association is
sued official orders TO their ticket
agents in that territory. Rate is
cent a mile west of the river, the
same that the Southwestern Passenger
association has given east Of the Mis-
sissippi. Official knowledge of the rate
is now in the hands of Ill railway
agents in the territory covered by
these passenger associations.
