To Join Summer Schools.

Special to the Independent
 Little Rock, Aug. 8.-Corres-
 pondence is going back and
 forth between President J. N.
 Tillman of the University of Ar kansas and George B. Cook, Su- perintendent of Public Instruc- tion which it is believed will soon result in the combination of the summer normals which have heretofore been conducted at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and the Arkansas State Normal at Conway.
 ''This summer there were 215 attending the summer school for teachers at Fayetteville, and 150 at the Normal" states Prof. Cook, "and the Board is now considering the advisability of combining the two and permit ting the faculty of the Normal to join with the faculty of the University, in one big Normal at Fayetteville. There is no town in the state so suited for this work as Fayetteville. The town is a summer resort and it is cool all during the summer. There are large dormitories for men and women. There are plenty of boarding houses on the outside. Fayetteville can be easily reached by fast trains from all Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas points. If we decide toI combine the summer schools, it should draw all the teachers from these states, and instead of an enrolment of 365, It should the first year have 1000 teachers in attendance. We could have a faculty there se- cond to none, and keep in Arkan- sas the 75 or more teachers which each year go to Knoxville to attend the Summer School o1 the South.

WILL TAKE
 12,00O SIGNERS
To Refer Revenue Bill To Peo- pie Says Secretary Of
 State. Specie. 10 Independent.

Little Rock, Aug. 9.-Instead of the 5000 signatures the op- pOnents of the Turner-Jacobsen bill expect to cause a reference of the bill to the people, it will take 12,000 according to the cal culations of Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges. He states that the Initiative and Referen- dunn requires Is per cent of the number of votes cast for gov ernor in the last general election. This would be a fraction over 12,000 for the vote cast for gov ernor shows 15O,856.
 Secretary Hodges does not ex- pect the petition to pass with out a fight, should one with that number of signatures be filed before Sept. 10, when the act will otherwise become effective, because there will be contests on the signatures in many in- stances, and the courts will probably be called upon to settle the question.

STATE AID
 FOR tIIGF1 SCHOOLS
Last Act Is Bringing Private High Schools Under
 Control of State.
SpsclaI to Independent.

] F~-Aoi .o aLNSP PchdVAt.
 Little Rock, Aug. 9.-The leg islative act which created the Arkansas Educational Comnis. ] sion is making the state richer in property every day. The pri. vate high schools of the state are turning their property over to the state in order to come within the provisions of the act which specifies that all institu. tions which receive state aid must be public schools.
 This Board will meet in the office of Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction George B. Cook next Monday, receive the com missions from Governor Dona- ghey and take up the work of apportioning the $50,00O set aside for aid to county high schools, among the schools of the state. This is to be given out, $400 for high schools with two year course, $500, for three year course; and $500 for four years. The high schools which have a normal course in connec- ton will receive 5000 per an- mum.
 In spve.lri~e of the appOrtion- ment, Supt. Cook states tlisss tl-o s5O,0OO will not be felt by the schools of the state, even though it is taken from the common school fund of the state. lie says that the school districts all over the state have annually, since the county examiners be- gan to file itemized reports, shown a surplus in the treasury at the end of the year.
 The amount each district will be called upon to contribute to- ward the S50,0OO will be but g few dollars, running from S3 to s15, and in consideration for this sum, the district will be en- titled to free schooling in the county high school for all its district graduates. Under the old law the pupils had to pay s1.59 per month each to take ad' vantage of the high schools ii they lived out of the district.
