| secretary. The morning session was de-
! voted to the consideration of the report of
| the committee on courses OF study in the
! secondary schools of the Stale. The re-
port showed that of fifty-eight high schools
! that had replied to inquiries, thiriy-nine
have three and nineteen four years
course. The comparison of the California
high schools with similar institutions in
the East was in favor of the home schools.
The committee submitted time schedule
which occupied the main part of the dis
cuSsl0n. Adopting as unit the year con-
sisting of five recitations per week, four
subjects taken per day, the schedule was
as follows: Languages, English aud
others, six hours; mathematics, three
years history and political science, three
years; natural science. four years. The
first discussion showed strong sentiment
in favor OF two schedules, one for students
preparing for the university, the other for
those who never go beyond the high
school.
The discussion in the afternoon showed
strong opposition to giving so much time
to natural sciences. There seemed TO be
general reaction in favor Of Latin and
Greek. One of the arguments made was
that the boy would get more or less of
natural science in everyday life after his
graduation, while OF the life and literature
and languages of the people in other times
he would get nothing from popular thought.
moved TO reduce the units Of science to
three. perhaps two. The final decision on
the matter was postponed until the next
conference, as the adoption of it would
be q somewhat radical mea sure and most
of the teachers of the secondary schools
had gone home before time for a vote
came. A committee of five was agreed
upon who should present form of courses

NEWPORT, ARK. Jan. 5.-After an in
vestigation of two days and hearing
the testimony Of some twenty men the
grand jury handed in to Judge Butler
this morning indictments for murder
in the first degree against James Wy
rick, Thomas Brady, George B. Padgett
and Albert Mansker, four of the eight
men who held up the Fort Worth ex-
press train on the St. Louis, Iron Noun
tain & Southern Railway at Oliphant
on the night of Novemb~- 3 last, and
who shot Conductor w. P. McNalley to
death, The day for beginning their
trial las Lot been named vet, but the
preBumption is that it shall not be post
roned long. There being no evidence
sufficient to warrant the finding or an
indictment, Jack Williams and Charles

suspects. were discharged

Buchanan Sued.

LITTLE Rock, Jan. 2.-Attorney-Ge Cen
eral Clarke has filed suit in the Pulas-
XII Chancery Court against Rev. S. H.
Buchanan, late Treasurer of the Ar
kansas Insane Asylum, and his bonds
men. Buchanan served three terms
and had served three months of the
fourth when his shortage was discover
ed. The legislative committee upon
investigation found his shortage to
amount to $16,6l6.16. The bond for
each term was 900, but that for the
last was never executed. The com.
plainant asks that special master be
appointed to state account in detail
and that decree against Buchanan
and his sureties be granted on his sew
eral official bonds for the amounts COW
cred thereby.
Late this afternoon the attorney
general filed an additional complaint
against Col. John G. Fletcher, Ben S.
Johnson, and A. L. Breysacher, men,
bers of the board of trustees of the
same institution. After reciting the
fact of the board appointment by the
governor, the complainant alleges that
the trustees wiIlfully and negligently
refused and failed to ompel Buchanan
TO make bond during his last term of
office, whereby the state lost $5, ,543 .2S
by such negligence. The complainant
prays for judgement against the trus-
tees for that amount.

htitutcs
Tie teachers meetings heretofore held In
Carroll county, have been helpful to all who
attend and gave proper attention to their pro-
ceedings.
Permit me to say in this connection, that the
outlook for popular education in Carroll county
is hopeful. Encouraging reports OF the success
OF the schools Of nearly every district in the
county have reached me. ] hope for asgreat ed
ucatiOnal awakening during the year 1894. The
teachers will become more and more earnest,
and will do more to qualify themselves for the
discharge of their responsible duties. Meetings
full OF inspiration for teachers must be held
