Dual Mediation Proposed.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-Considerable Curl
osity has been reused in diplomatic
circles here regarding the reasons for
the proposal Of Great Britain and Japan
tb undertake dual mediation in China
after the powers including the United
States, had decided to present an Identical
note to the conference now meeting at
Shanghai.
There was a tendency to believe that
the Japanese government had made the
proposal and that Japan was anxious to
intervene. 1t turns out now however,
that the proposal really came from the
British government, acting on the belief
that the British consul at Hankow, who
had induced the combatants to agree to
an armistice, might again succeed as
amenator in the larger question.
II is understood the State department
at Washington is making inquiries both
IN Japan and Great Britain in regard to
the proposed British Japanese mediation.
The reiterated report that the British
Japanese mediation contemplated in
sistence on the maintenance OF the
monarchial government is officially
denied. 1t was said at the foreign office
that the efforts OF the British govern
ment in conjunction with the other powers
were directed TO assisting China TO
secure an efficient form OF government
based on popular approval.

More About the Normal
ONE OF EN-.

The committee appointed last
June to make arrangements for q
normal this year make the following
announcement:
l. We have employed Prof. D.
I. Rogers, Of JOnesbOro, as instruc-
tor, at a cost of S65.OO
2. We have secured DR.. John.
son, of Fayetteville, to lecture June
2, bearing his expenses of abcut
$4,000 or $500.
3. We have secured for lecture,
June 8, Miss Reichardt, without
expense.
4. For June 9, DR.. Brough, of
the University has been engaged to
deliver a lecture. Expense about
$4,000 or $25.OO.
5, The total cost will perhaps
reach Sl25.O0 and we have arranged
the following schedule which we
hope will cover expenses:
Full normal and lecture course
$3.50.
Full normal course $l.5O.
One week of normal course Sl.OO.
Full lecture course $l.25.
Single lecture $3.50.
5. The entire normal and insti-
tute is to be held at Maynard, be-
ginning Tuesday, May 30, and con-
tinUing to the June examination.
The entire cost for the whole time
need not exceed 5000, since board
can be secured anywhere in town
for S2.5 a week.
This is the best opportunity the
teachers of Randolph county have
ever had to prepare themselves for
better teaching at very small cost.
These men have been secured with
an eye single to better preparing
our teachers for the great work they
are to do, and the schedule is placed
as low, it is believed, as possible to
recover expenses, which is all the
committee asks, and the benefit re.
ceived will be many times the cost
to the teachers.
Pocahontas star herald., 1911-05-19

Prof. Rogers is one of the best
instructors in the state. Having
been president of the State Teachers
Association, and having made the
schools of Jonesboro in the time be
has been there the foremost in north
Arkansas, he needs no further rec
ommendation. DR.. johnson is one
of the strongest school men in the
state, is doing much to advance ed
ucational interests, and always has
something good to say. Miss
Reichardt is an artist 10 her line,
and DR.. Brough is considered ''King
of the platform" in Arkansas, hay
ing more calls for lectures than he
can fill.
The teachers should remember
that they obligated themselves to
bear the expenses of this work,
which IS all that is wanted, and the
true teacher should need only be re.
minded of the place and time, which
place bear in mind. Let every one
come out, throw his whole soul TO-
to the work, and make this one of
the most pleasant and profitable
meetings of teachers ever held in
this part of the state. You may
say that you cannot afford to come,
but, ifyou intend to teach, YOU can
not afford to fail to come. So be
on hand the first day and remain
till the close. THH COMMITTEES.
| will endorse certificates and ex-
tend licenses for work done at the
normal, it counting as regular iu-
stitute work, thereby accommodate
ing few who might find 1t impos-
sible to attend the whole time, since
you will have choice of either work.
Every teacher who expects to teach
will be required to attend the time
required, unless legal excuse is of
fered and granted before the work
closes here. However, l hoOe all
the teachers will show willing
ness to attend, come out, and get
the best out of this work. | con
slder this the greatest treat the
teachers have ever had and COM
mend the committee for their ex-
cellent selections.
