The st. Francis Normal.

Quite goodly number of the teach
ers of this county have been attending
the Normal school which has been in
session here under the direction OF
Prof j. b. Williams for IL couple OF
weeks. The last weeks work has beer
very interesting and beneficial. Be-
sides the routine instruction from the
principal, assisted by several of the
teachers in attendance, there have
been several special features which
were quite attractive.
The Rev. DR.. Davenport, of Memphis.
visited the normal on one occasion.
and by invitation, delivered a thought
full andl prolific lecture which was
highly appreciated.
a paper on the teaching of ElOcu-
ton was read before the teachers by
Mrs. Nichols which in its scope and
practicabllity was of great worth. 1t
was SO thoroughly enjoyed that many
of the teachers have joined in request
that she give the paper to them for
publication, so that it may be preserved
and distributed for closer study.
TIE TIMES hopes that the request
will be granted, and will be glad to
give it space in its next issue.
There were other good things" be.
fore the normal, the value of which
can only be estimated, and one of thu
most important of these was the speech
OF the Hon Junius Jordan, state supe,.
intendent of public instruction. which
WAS delivered Friday. Upon that oc-
casion he visited the school and made
thorough examination OF its details.
after which lie entertained the teach.
ers In forty minutes talk, and in a
most fascinating manner related the
condition and progress of education in
Arkansas.
lie argued that our system of County
normals is regarded as the best in the
United States, and he is proud of the
distinction. He reminded the teachers
that the educational public of the
country had turned its attention TO
our state school system, aud that it is
being heartily approved. We are told
that this is no wonder, when it is con-
sldered that Arkansas is the only state
III which the school fund controls the
state debt, and that within the last
Tour years the per capita Cor general
distribution has increased % per cent.
and may show, within the next few
months, an increase of 50 per cent.
lne teachers are enthusiastic in their
appreciation of Prof. Jordan's work.
One has said of his administration that
1t has demonstrated that "he is a man
OF the very best executive ability and
an ideal public officer, and it is reereta-
bic that very bad political customs de.
prive the children of the State of his
services for the next term; but there is
no good reason why man so CAPABLE
so resourceful, SO sound in Judgment
so well equipped in every particular,
should not be called to the chair of the
chief executive. Every first-cass teach
er In Arkansas would be glad to sup
port Junius Jordan for Governor next
time"
During the coming week the teachers
are to have some other good things, and
the public is cordially invited to visit
the school.

The Amendments.

The proposed amendments to
the constitution TO be voted on in
September are of great importance.
The one is to remove the eonstitu-
ent objections to a railroad COM
mission, the other is to empower
the levying of small road tax.
Smart men may talk about good
roads and amendments to the pres
ent road law until doomsday and
we will not have them as long us
the people are expected to keep
the roads up. A small tax, and
all convicts whose punishment is
less than five years in the peniten-
tiary should be retained in the
counties and worked on the road.
They don't need so many in the
penitentiary, and we can use them
on the road.-H elena Horn.
1t will not be out of place TO re-
lark in this connection that a
similar amendment submitted for
adoption four years ago was de-
feated because it had not been dis
cusscd and because the people did
not understand it. If the news
papers wish to do the people SER
vice they will discuss the amend
ments submitted for adoption at
the September election and pre-
sent good reasons fer their accept
ance.-Arkansas Democrat.
