SOME PROBLEMS OF
RURAL COMMON SCHOOL
(From Committee of School Patrons J

(From Committee of School Patrons)
The only real objections to the con-
solidation of small rural schools into
larger ones and the transportation of
the children in wagons, to them, are
that it moves an ancient landmark,
and is a decided innovation. These
are unfortunately objections of great
weight with a considerable class of
patrons of rural schools who choose
to live, move and die as their ances-
tors did. But things of the past are
not good enough for the people of
today and along with such things as
rural free delivery of mails, tele-
phones and good roads, the free trans
portation of children to good public
schools is likely in the near future
to play an important part in the bet
terment of life on the farm.
The great number of rural school
districts keeps the amount of money
available for school purposes in each
district at so low a level that it is
difficult to procure efficient teachers.
The low rate of wages prevents the
employment of teachers who have had
normal or even a high school edu-
cation. Many of them have had only
the limited education given by the
schools in which they teach, and many
country schools have too few pupils
to stimulate the teacher to do his
best work, or to provide competition
for the pupils either in the class room
or on the playground This is most
discouraging both to the teacher and
the pupils. Arkansas has over five
hundred schools with an enrolment
of less than ten. These two faults
of many rural schools can be largely
overcome by consolidating small
school districts into larger ones, and
transporting the children who live
too far to walk.
The funds from several districts go
10 single ulStrlct, SeHeTdl EXPENSES
are cut down and better teacher en-
ployed. At the same time the num-
Der of children in attendance increas-
as, for the pupils find the school more
interesting.
If we are to improve our agricul-
ture and compete on the best terms
with our rivals in the worlds markets
and if we are to make conditions of
country life attractive enough to keep
bright boys and girls on the farm, we
must give immediate attention to the
needs of the rural schools. And this
matter the farmers have in their own
hands.

WOULD COMBINE
SUMNER NORMALS

Little Rock, July 11.-A prominent
educator of Arkansas who visits Lit
tie Rock frequently, has summer
normal plan which he hopes to see
worked out in the next few years,
giving Arkansas something on the or
der of the Lake Chautauqua summer
sessions. He would combine the sum-
mer coursts of the Arkansas Unver-
sity and State Normal, and hold the
sessions in Fayetteville, with a tent
colony feature, with added attractions
sufficient to bring teachers from other
states in great numbers. He figures
to have entertainment features in con-
nection sufficient to increase the at
tendance, and make the Fayetteville
normal the greatest event of the sum-
mer for the southwest Educators to
whom the plan has been mentioned
have spoken highly of it and offered
their assistance when the time comes
to make the move.

BUSINESS SCHOOL
TO LOCATE HERE
J.W. JAMESOF PINE BLUFF
TO ESTABLISH COMMERCIAL
COLLEGE IN CONWAY
SOON.

The Conway Board of Trade has
accepted proposition of J. w. James,
who is now conducting a successful
business college at Pine Bluff, to ees-
tablish a similar institution in this
city, and the new school is expected
to be opened within a short time Mr..
James will continue his school at Pine
Bluff, but will remove to Conway him
self, devoting his personal attention
to the institution here
A 5000 cash bonus and rent Of
rooms free for one year is to be given
Mr.. James as consideration for es-
tablishing the school here Mr.. James
believes that Conway offers splendid
field for a commercial college. The
cost of living here is lower than in
the cities and students of the other
institutions can take business
course, as the school will not only be
open every day, but will also hold
night sessions.
The college will be located in the
Halter building, on the west side of
the square.

FULL FORCE OF
MEN AT WORK

Little Rock, july 11.-A full force
of stone settlers was working this
morning on the dome of the state cap
itol, and everywhere else about the
building the work was going on with
rush. The south wing of the building
is now about ready for the wood fin
ishings, and the marble settlers are
working about the bases and windows.
The concrete floor was poured about
the steel columns in the rotunda dur
ing the past week and the bricklayers
walled the great columns which sup
port the dome, up as high as the sec
ond floor. The work which is going on
now does not show very much, but
within 80 days it will be so far pro-
gressed some of the rooms may be oc-
cupied. The governors offices will be
ready to receive him in that time.

ment was taken on the recommenda-
tion of Prosecuting Attorney Geo. w.

ly delayed by the excessive rains and
| it would be a serious disadvantage
to the farmers to be taken away from
their work at this time The day to
which the court was adjourned was
satisfactory to the members of the
| bar in attendance at the court this
morning.
The court acted upon two petitions
for the removal of disabilities as min
ors. James Otis Moore, 20 years of
age, was granted all privileges of a
person of full age by the court, and
the disabilities of Maggie and Ida
White were removed for the purpose
of enablin gthem to sign deed con-
veying their interests in certain
lands.
Attorney T. B. Pryor of Fort
Smith appeared on behalf of the St
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railway Company, and filed answers
and motions in the various suits in
which that company is the defendant.
Answers were filed in suits brought
by the following plaintiffs: Matthew
Jackson, E. Duckworth, William Ber-
ry, J. J. Cherry, admir-, and Henry
Mills.
| Answers and demurrers were filed
to the complaints of the following
j. NJ. Scott, admir-, Lee V. Williams
Lula Russell, A. g. Williams, X. F
Curtis and T. O. Black, admr.
In the case of |. c. Hall against
the railway petition and bond to re.
move the case to United States court
were filed.
A motion to make complaint more
specific was filed and granted in the
case of Peter Cain against the rail
way.
Neither jury appeared, all having
already informed of the intention tc
postpone court, and the court was
adjourned until August %.
Circuit Clerk A. NJ. Ledbetter states
that the docket for the adjourned
term will be taken up in the same or
der as it appears for the regular
term, the first day of the term begin
ming next month being counted as the
first day of court. All cases set fol-
trial on Monday, July II, will be
docketed for Monday, August %, etc
