ARDMORE'S SCHOOLS

Thomas r. Marshall, former vice
president OF the United States,
commends the Ardmore city schools
in copyrighted article which ap-
pcared Sunday in metropolitan
newspapers throughout the country.
President Hopkins OF Dartsmouth
College recently stated it as his be-
lief that higher education should
be limited. He advocates an "aris-
ocracy OF brains saying that a
university training should be glver
only to persons who are so III
clincd and are, in addition, intel
lectually equipped to absorb such
training and apply it to the needs
OF their careers.
Mr.. Marshall endorses this theory
to the extent that he would not
make education, higher than graded
school, compulsory by state statute,
or required on the part OF parents
who wish to uphold the family
prestige.
A boy, Mr.. Marshall contends,
who likes farming and has the
qualities OF a good farmer should
not be forced to spend four years
or any period for that matter, try
ing to absorb philosophy OF life
and classical education to which he
is not attuned. merely because his
parents can afford such a training
ior him.
1t is at this point that Mr.. Mar
shall refers to the Ardmore schools.
Information he explains, oft
times miscalled education must not
be stuffed into the youth OF the land
as though they were mere sau-
sages. Ardmore, Okla, recognizes
this truth, and has put psycholo'
gist in her schools and is separating
the skiful OF hand from the nimble
oi BRAIN
Dartsmouth college and the Ard
more schools are the only educa'
,ional institutions referred to il
Mr.. Marshall's long article, which
goes to the extent OF more than Z
column, This is quite distinction
Tor the Ardmore school system, al
though we believe it is well de
served.
The feature OF the schools herr
which Mr.. Marshall refers TO i
the department OF educational re
search and guidance in charge o
Harry d. Rinsland.
1t is the outgrowth OF the work
ing OF this department that tn
following courses are now beinl
given at the high school here:
Manual training and sheet meta
work for boys, and domestic scienc,
and domestic art for girls, and
commercial course for both hoy
and girls. There is also a teacher,
training course.

Danger

British India reports that 1896 of
its residents were killed by snake bite
last year. About 3,40O others were eat
en- by wild beasts. Disease.bearing jun
gle insects killed many times more than
snakes and wild animals combined.
This makes the simple life of the
wilderness less attractive. However. on
a population basis autos in America
