HENDRIX COLLEGE,

CONWAY, Ark, Feb. 9. Prof. F. c. Miller, Forrest City, Ark; Dear Sir-Yours of the Sth inst has been received. We are just making plans to negotiate with high schools throughout the state with the view to accrediting those that desire. We shall probably agree to give the same credit that the University allows-16. Of course, as We require + points more for entrance, high school grad uate would need to take that into ac- count, but we would give him credit for just as many units from your school as the University (l6) would do. You may expect to hear from us in the early spring when we are fully prepared to work out our plan for CO., relation Remember me kindly to Mir 4oungblood. Yours truly,

STATE OF ARKANSAS, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. LITTLE ROCK, Aug. !.
P c. Miller, Forrest City. Ark:


 r. c. Miller, Forrest City. Ark:
 To the School Board and Principal: In the fall of i3li students applying for admission to the Freshman class .of the University of Arkansas will be required to p esent thirteen and one- half units of high school work. Other colleges of the state have already raised their entrance requirements to fourteen units. There are number Of three and four year high schools in the state, now on the accredited lists of the colleges which will not be able as now organized to meet these re- quirements: that is, pupils completing the present courses will not be ad- mltted to college classes without ad- ditional work in high school subjects. There are, however, many of these schools which, with slight extension of the course and the addition of a teacher for half of the time of one teacher, might easily meet the require. ments and prepare pupils for entrance to college without examinations or conditions.
 The unit, as defined by the colleges, means one study carried for thirty-six weeks with five forty minute recita- tlons every week, making l20 hours of sixty minutes devoted to recitation in one subject during the year. If the term is shorter the recitation period should be correspondingly longer. When the term is eight months in- stead of nine the recitation period should be forty-tiye minutes.
 According to the last report I have had from your high school it is rated, under strict construction of the definition of unit, at 9i units, which may be offered for college entrance. This circular is sent to you in the hope that by calling your attention tc the matter some plan may be found by which your high school may be brought up to the standard
 shall be very glad, indeed, to ren der any service possible to the princi pal or the Board in arranging the course of study or in any other mat ter pertaining to the school.
 Very truly yours,

THE CRESCENT.
Legend Of It's Adoption as an Embism
by the Turks.

Legend Of It's Adoption as an Er1bism
by the Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient my
thology 1t decorated the ~foreheads of
Diana and of Astarte, the Syrian We
nus. In the days Of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies wore Ii as an orna-
ment in their hair.
Since the foundation Of CONSTANT
nopfe, the ancient Byzantium, 1t has
been the emblem of the city and us
such adorns its walls and public build
ings, besides being stamped on its
coins and postage The legend which
accounts for Its universal adoption In
Turkey, and Censtantiaeple In par
ticular, Is as follows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city In the year $40 b. G. He chose a
night of unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
a cloud. In commemoration of this
providenttal deliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city.
The MohammedaR sultans were slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that 1t was the symbol of
increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases of the moon.
