TEACHERS CHOSEN
FOR 1928 TERM

The board of directors for Poca-
hontas Special School District met
last Saturday night and selected the
teachers for the next term of school.
A stormy session, is reported to
have been one of the principle
features of the meeting. About
thirty-fve applications for different
positions for the next term had
been received and after balloting
for about four hours the result was
announced and the following de-
clared elected:
For seventh aad eighth grades,
w. f. Acree; fifth and sixth grades,
Jennie Johnston; fourth grade,
Mrs. Ellis; second and third grades,
Katie Lucas; primary, Mrs. Neely.
1t is not yet known whether or
not Mr.. Acree will accept the posi-
tion to which he was elected as the
salary that goes with 1t is much
less than that asked by Mr.. Acree.
The matter Of adding another
teacher to the faculty was taken up
and discussed, but it was agreed
that owing to the fact that the
people failed to vote for seven mills
special tax in the recent school
election that there would not be
sufficient funds on hand next year
to pay the salaries of any more
teachers than we now have.
For the same reason some of the
members of the board have told us
that they do not favor the PROPOSE,
tlon to erect the proposed new hlgh
school building, or even an addition
to the one we now have, and so it
is not known yet just what will be
done in the matter.
Let us hope that some arrange
ments can be made whereby the
good school work that has been
started in Pocahontas may continue
without mterruptlon-that the new
building be erected, and that here
after we vote the limit seven mills
for teachers salaries.

CLOSING EXERCISES
MAYNARD ACADEMY

Tuesday night closed the most
successful commencement in the
history of Ouachita-Maynard Acad-
envy. Includlng.the devotional SER
vices Sunday, eight programs were
given, and all of them showed the
careful training of the five teachers.
To the writer the biggest feature
of all, was the opererta, "Bulbul,"
given Friday night. The faculty
went to great expense in getting the
costumes, and this musical comedy
was complete success.
Quite number of people were
visitors during the exercises, and all
express themselves as being well
pleased with the work of the past
year as shown by the conduct OF
the student body. The faculty is
to he congratulated upon its work.
The patrons of the Academy have
urgently requested Prof. Downs to
retain his place with his entire
faculty, but owing to other plans,
he has decided not TO be an appli-
cant for another term. HIS teach
ers for the year just closed are, M.
G. Orr, assistant; Eugene Thomp
son, normal; Miss Leah Wilson,
piano; j. H. Bennett, chapel.
The graduating class this year is
composed of ten as follows: In
music, Tommie Crockett, Grace
Crockett, Katie Wyatt, and Nell
Lehman; and in Literary, Newt
Taylor, Carl Camel, Elsie Poynor,
Ruby Taylor, Forrest Downs, and
Nell Lehman, The graduate pro-
gram given by these seniors Satur'
day night was very interesting. In
their speeches, papers aud music
they proved themselves worthy of
the reputation that has been given
the school by other senior classes.
Three prizes were given this year.
The Ouachlta Scholarship, given
each year, was awarded to Newt
Taylor. The scholarship medal
was won by Miss Nell Hufstedler,
and the music improvement medal
was given to Miss Tommie Crockett.
The board of trustees of the
Academy are at work selecting the
faculty for the coming year and
hope to have some announcements
to make in the near future.

THE HEN QUESTION
Refers Midland Inquirers to

Midland, Tex, Jan. 11.-COL Theodore
Roosevelt was recently appealed to.
as an eminent naturalist, to settle a
controversy in Midland county re-
garding the habits Of the prairie hen.
Some old time ranchmen maintain
that the prairie hen, differing from all
others Of the female species, selects
her own mate They claim that the
hens gather at mating time in an open
space and around them strut the lord
" cocks The hens viii then one by
one dart out and choose their mates
story originated with a nature faker
and that the prairie hen, like other
self respecting females, waits for her
soul mate to declare his preference
MI. Roosevelt was finally selected
TO decide the question and all Wagers
were held up pending his decision A
letter has been received at Midland
from the colonel, but the ex-president
declines to commit himself. He wished
both sides happy new year and re-
Ierred them TO the American museum
of natural history. The proposition
has now been referred TO John Bur
roughs and Ernest ThOmpsOn Seton.
