To Abolish Preparatory Branch


1t is said that a sentiment is grow
ing among the educators and legisla
tors of Arkansas to abolish the pre-
paratory department of the State
University at Fayetteville. This de-
partment has existed since the estab
lishment of the institution. 1t is al
legged that the adjustment of the pre-
paratory department of the universe
ty, in which is now taught the high
school branches, will result in the
raising of the standard of the public
schools of the State and at the same
time raise the university to it's right
full place as the head of the educa-
tional interests of the State.
Up Against a Problem.
The Jonesboro School Board is
trying to solve a difficult financial
a school house at a cost of $25, 900.
The income of the Jonesboro School
Board from taxes and other sources
is in the neighborhood of $4,000.
All of this amount is required to OPP
crate the schools. The board is in
hopes that the school tax amendment
to the constitution, which will be
voted on at the general election in
September, will be adopted. With
the amendment in force the school
revenues of Jonesboro will be in
creased about $4,000.
