 On the 17th and 18th of this month will occur the quarterly examination for teachers. This examination will be held in the public school building and at the same time will be held the first county institute of St. Francis county. All teachers in the county are expected tCz De present, if not for examination for the institute. An h. teresting programme has been ar ranged by the state superintendent.
 The secretary of the school. board sFent $ few hours visiting the various rooms last Friday. He expressed himself as being well pleased with the work being dcne.
 Miss Annie Louise Davis, who de- parted this life on the 7th, inst, was one of dearest our pupils. She was always kind to her teachers aad was beloved by all.
 But she has crossed tho river
 She Is with the angela now,
 She has laid aside sarth's burdens.
 And tie crown is on her brew.
 No sorr0Wing thought can reach thee,
 No grief is thine today;
 God gives thee joy for mourning,
 He wipes thy tears away;
 
 Thou art waiting in that city
 Where the holy angels wait.
 And when We cross the river
 We will see thee at the gate r'
 We see no good reason why parents should send their children of to school when they can get the same adyant- ages at home, and no board bills to pay. If you wish to huiid up your city build up your schools. 4 good college located at Forrest City will do more to boom the place than any other one thing. Every year from St. Fran cis county alone. is there more than thir- ty thosand dollars eXpauded for edu- eating our children away from home. Why Hot put that money in circulation at home? Few citizens have carefully considered the advantages of having 2 college located in their midst. Iet us consider 1t from 4 financial staneD0int although that is by uo means tAe prime enc. Forrest City is tine best location Tor college m all Eastern Arkansas, and If established with a good blild- Iag and faculty, will enroll from 20O to 30O students annually. But VIC oaSe our argument upon enrolling even 100 students The college wear """'N DN NAN i'iNd liAO lOuI terms or ten weeks each and one term of seven weeks. Tuition for the long terms ten dollars, and for the short or review term seven dollars. Now look at these lEgTeIS based upon an attendance of l00 pupils, tuition for ten weeks, lGG pupils, SlOee; board and room for ten weeks, lO0 pupils, s4G00, incidentals tat low estimate), Sl500; making 9 total of S65o0 put into circulation in ten weeks. Now multiply this amount by four and seven tenthS and have the totai ot c30, ,550 coming into your city every year. From the money side of the question, what more need be askedt In addition to this there is the refining influence brought to hear up0n our children by the ladies and gentle men attending college, the moulding of society, the building up of our churches; stimulating our boys and girls to higher ideals of life. In fact making us better physically. mentally and morally. Why not put our shoulders to the wheel and start the ball rolling. Will not some enterpris- ing citizens call a meeting of the citi- zens of Forrest City and St. Francis county, and see what can be done. We are convinced that all that is needed is beginning and success will Do assured.
