ONE CAR FOR TEN PEOPLE

SEVEN years ago there was but 100000 automo-
biles in the United States. BY New Years Day
there will be l0,4S7. 600 of them registered. one for
every ten men. women and children in the land.
and these figures do not include motorcycles or
tractors.
On Dec. 81, 1920. the registered automobiles in
the country numbered ~9.5l5.5lo. This indicates a
gain for the present year of l2l-2 per cent. The
gain over 1919, outwardly the most prosperous year
in our national history, is &1-5 per cent.
Iowa leads all other states in the use OF auto
mobiles. Everyone in that state could go riding at
once. for there is car for every 9'N persons, In
California. Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Ctah,
Arizona and Nevada, there is a car for every o.
persons. Throughout the Middle West there is one
for ever IL persons.
In the East. despite highways which are the
envy OF other sections, the automobile seems less
popular. perhaps because OF the development OF
steam and electric interurban systems. New England
has but one car to every lis persons, New York to
every l22 and Pennsylvania to every l2.3 persons
The South averages lower still, with but a single au-
tomobile TO every 1873. but the South has been
buving lavishly Tor the past five years.
Under the circumstances, the wonder is that the
good roads movement has not gained more rapidly
These figures indicate that highway travel and
traffic mean much more than any other kind to al
least Is per cent OF our population.

REVERT TO OLD scHooLs9 MOI

THIS is National Education Week. In every city
OF the United States men and women interested
in education are making efforts to bring the need or
child training to the minds of the people. The
American Legion has stepped in behind the move
ment and is lending its moral support and its &C
tiyities.
Ardmore has approximately four thousand pupils
in school, it is paying annually something like $780,
600 a year for their training We have buildings
and pay interest on investments and employ leach
erS and buy equipment.
We have invested in buildings three quarters
OF a million dollars.
We are teaching the little folks penmanship and
drawing and music and have a special superintendent
Tor the grade work.
When they attain TO higher grades they are
taught printing and typewriting and bookkeeping
and wood work and a dozen other things they will
use all their lives.
Pupils are taught athletics, they are taught the
value OF health preservation their characters are
being built by one hundred faithful teachers who
are striving with them, the schools are maintained
twelve months in the year.
But there are those who say the cost is enor-
nous, To maintain this vast work costs ten dol
lars per capita on a basis of twenty thousand
population.
Ardmore needs to put that money down in its
pockets. Hoard il in the banks. Put it away IN
your sock. Keep your money and shut down the
schools.
Suppose we do that and offer for sale the
school property and the equipment and pay oil the
bonds and stop interest payments and stop school
taxes. Suppose We make up our minds TO be
controlled BY the dollar and save this money.
Do YOU call to mind the kind Of schools we had
when there were no public schools? We remem-

all over the city. Tuition was collected from the
pupils. Some attended school and some did not

Ii a boy did not make progress his father let him

There was no uniformity about text books. There

there were pupils and there was very little class

old days.

STUDENTS GRADED ON CITIZENSHIP

Csrom the School Journal. published as an English
project by Edward Anderson and Arthur pavenport)
RELIEVING that students would take more interest
in .obeying rules which they have framed Prot,
Bach principal OF .Ardmore junior high school. re-
ouested the students to form a code OF citizenship Tor
use in their school. Each of the six English teachers
was requested 10 have the pupils write a code. The
teachers then selected the best paragraphs from
these manuscripts and turned them into the principal
who selected the best. Thus the code OF citizenship
is the production OF the students Of junior high.
The idea which is constantly impressed upon the
students is that a junior high school represents a
community in which is developed conduct that is
identical with those elements Of citizenship neces-
sary in the city, state, and national life OF a true
America. With this idea in mind the students are
graded on citizenship instead OF department. Boys
and girls, students OF junior high school. who seek
strong and servicable citizenship to become good
Americans, bind themselves. and are graded upon
the following laws OF life.
