BOOST THE STATE"
BOARD OF CONTROL OF LAND
 CONGRESS ANNOUNCED.
President Goarge A. Cole Talks of Plans for Properly Advertising
 State of Arkansas.

Little Rock.-The members of the Board of Control of the Arkansas Land Congress have just been made public by President George A. Cole. One vice president from each coun- ty in the state will be appointed, in compliance with a resolution adopt ed at the first annual session of the congretss
 The members of the executive committee, which is d part of the board of control, are as follows:
 President, George A. Cole of Fay etteville; vice president, Bert John son of Pike county; w. H. Lankford, of Jefferson county; secretary, Er- nest Ratterree treasurer, W. l.. Hemingway, and George R. Brown, all of Little Rock.
 In addition to the executive com mittee, the board of control has a representative from each of the sev- en congressional districts, and rep resentatives of the leading trunk lines of railroad in the state.
 The representatives from the con gressional districts are: Love Banks, of Smithdale; H. L. Remmel, of Lit tie Rock Dr. c. F. Adams, of Fay etteville; John P. Logan, of Granniss; Prof. M. F. Dickinson, of Conway; Col. S. w. Fordyce of Hot Springs, | and T. c. McRae of Prescott.
 The representatives from the rail roads are as follows. From the Frisco, Frank Anderson and S. A. Hughes; Cotton Belt, Guy B. Stew art and E. w. Le Beaume; Iron Mountain, J. N. Anderson and D. E King; Kansas City Southern, Gary | Wood and J. H. Tull; Missouri and North Arkansas, Leo D. Dell; Rock Island C. B. Schmidt and J. B. Tay- | Tor
 AS yet no definite plans have been formed regarding the advertis- ing of Arkansas said President Cole, but I believe we should have no difficulty in raising sufficient funds to do this advertising and feel con. fident that the plans adopted will bring the desired result For one thing, in the way of advertisement, ! believe that it would be a good plan to send an exhibit car, loaded with samples of the things raised and found in Arkansas, through the North and East. The car should be supplied with literature advertising the vari- ous resources of the state
 MT Cole also stated that he be | lieved some arrangement should be made whereby farms of 40 and so acres could be sold throughout the state to Northern and Eastern peo- pie. many of whom, he said, are now going to Canada.
 About 50,000 people moved frcsA' the United States to Canada last year." declared Prof. Cole. This movement should be stopped, and part of it at least headed toward Ar kansas. The wrong impression has existed concerning this state. Peo- pie have thought it barbarous, and ev- erything else that is bad, but they are learning their error, and we should now push our advantage"

VIEW OF ARKANSAS SCHOOLS. Report at Educational Conference IS
 Highly Illuminating.

Little Rock-In the course of pro ceeding at the recent educatioal con ference held in this city, a report on the schools of Arkansas was sub mitted, as follows
 The first compulsory attendance fective with the beginning of the school year for 1909 and 1910. Two acts were passed by the last gen eral assembly, one requiring a min mum attendance of one half of the school term between the age 0 eight and sixteen years and is effec- tive in thirty-one counties. The oth- CT places the age limit from eight tc fourteen years and is effective in nine counties.
 This leaves thirty-fye counties in the state without compulsory edu- cation. A marked increase in the attendance in both town and rural schools is reported from all sections where these new laws apply
 The last general assembly appro- priated $lGO,OO0 for the establish ment of four agricultural schools in the state, one in each of four dis, triets
 Consolidation of school districts has been made possible by an en. actment of the last general assem- bly,, which permits the patrons O. any trritory to petition the county court for the organization of a spe- cial school district having all the rights and privileges previousy al lowed only to schools in incorpora- ted towns and cities.
 The Arkansas State Normal school at Conway opened it's second school year in September, 1909, and has an enrolment of over tho hundred. An appropriation from the Peabody funG is being applied in the establishment of a model farm to be conducted in conjunction with the agricultural de partment of the state normal.
 With the opening of the school year in 1909 the campaign for i'm provement in the schools was again instituted by the department Of pub lie instruction. The movement is proving both popular and resultful. Twenty-seven new associations have been effected by the field representa- tive and requests for organizing plans are being received form all sections of the state. This work has been organized in fifty-three coun- ties.

Will Adopt Plan of Paying Cash for
 Supplies for institution.

Supplies for institution.
 Little ROck-At a meeting Of the State Penitentiary Board, Superin- tendent Pitcock submitted a report showing that the convicts had earn ed over $10,000 on the w. L. Reeves contract. The report shows that on April 1 there were S15 convicts, men and women, confined in the peniten- tiary. Of that number 476 were men with an earning capacity or leased out. There were POS convicts on the state farm in Lincoln county, but of than number only about 100 were capacitated to do manual labor.
 The board decided to borrow about $35,000 to be used in paying current expenses until the next cotton crop is gathered and sold.
 Gov. Donaghey argued that the in terest on the loan would not amount to as much as would be saved by paying cash for all supplies used at the institution.
