COUNTY NORMAL INSTITUTES.
EXCELLENT RESULTS SURE TO Ac GRUB FROM NORMAL
 INSTRUCTION.
Arkansas Stands First Among Southern States in Making Generous Provision for It's
 Teachers.
fGazette.l

One of the great acts of the last Legislature was the appropriation of $l0,000 per annum for support of Q county institute in each county in the State of one month $ duration under the supervision of the State Super intendent ofPublic Instruction. The act was not only great but wise. A State system of education is futile without qualified teachers. Exper- fence in every State in the Union and in every foreign country has demon- strated beyond controversy that qualified teachers for systems of magnitude may not be evolved through ordinary individual aspir- ation or resolve. Thousands of schools need thousands of teachers. The meager compensation and short terms do not awake emulation. Still the schools must go and wisdom would seem to say that they should go well. The only remedy is the in- ducement offered through normal in- struction, at institutes or colleges established and supported by the State.
 From the biginning of our system this principle has been recognized by our lawmakers, but no sufficient ap- propriation was made to make it productive of great good until four years ago. At the beginning of Mr. Shinn's term the Legislature gave him $2,000 per annum to maintain a three months school in each Con- gressional district. At the beginning of his second term this sum was in creased to $3,000 per annum. The good done was palpable and every county in the district was clamorous for the school. At the beginning of Mir. Jordan's term an effort was made to give each county what it demanded. The opposition to the measure was great as was the Op- position to other measures from years before. Great bodies move slowly and 1t takes a long time to convert the sentiment of 1000, ,000 people into newer form. The vigil ence and industry of Mir. Jordan triumphed, however, and the county law passes with an appropriation of $10 ,000 q year-a compliment to the progressiveness and thoughtfulness of the people of Arkansas. No other Southern state has made so generous provision for the development of it's teachers In a short time each county will have an institution in session under a competent instructor which will go on for twenty days. The schedule of work prepared by Mir. Jordan and published in the Southern School Journal is modle of sugges- tive detail. The work of each week upon each study is very carefully and

Obituary.

DEwooDY-In Pine Bluff, Saturday May II, 1895, EDITH, youngest child of MT. and Mrs. W. l.. Dewoody.
 The funeral took place Saturday af- ternoon at o'clock, from the resi- dence.
 The little child is sweet and beau tiful, like the divine radiance of the morning dawn, or like the tinted smiles of the sunset glow, or like the atmosphere of heaven when scin tilat- ing with the radiance of angels. Sweet and beautiful is the smile when it shines forth from the back ground of purity. The sweet little child represents all that is angelic, God-like in human nature. They represent human perfection; they constitute the radiant background. of every uselfish thought, word. or deed. Death of a little cbild is only a change of environments. Only a short while ago little Edith's twin sister, Milred, Passed beyond the D SiON IloW joined in that land of peace and |eternal joy, where all are as little children, can prattle to each other. This thought is the balm to the broken hearted parents. These lit tie ones were the light of the house hold; how dark must be the hour when the little cradle is empty. How lonley must be the pathway without them. But there is light which shines through the darkest cloud and brightens the heart in these darkest hours; that light shined from the sweet and beautiful features of the Savior when he said suffer little children to come unto me for such is the kimdOn of heaven" and "he that belieyeth on me shall not perish but have everlasting life" These sweet assurances will enable the broken hearted parents to meet little Edith and Milred in that land where the sun never sets and parting words are unknown. w $.

Preachers Want a Change,

The resident Minister'S Association,
W lich holds its meeting each Monday,
has had the subject of Sunday schools up
for discussion at the past three meetings.
Some of the pastors think it would be
best, and cause a larger number to at
tend the morning sermon, to hold the
Sunday schools in the afternoon, instead
of the forenoon, as at present.
Yesterday each pastor reported the
matter to his church, in order to get the
sentiment of the membership, and some
lively discussions followed.
1t is understood that a majority in
each church oppose this modern idea.
