On Yesterday afternoon at the court
house. several ladies met with Mrs,
Curtis to assist her in making plans
for the poor of Ardmore at Christmas.
The attendance was small, but sever
al have telephoned they would help,
and Mrs. Curtis believes she will have
a full share of assistance in this
work.
1t was decided to have a Christmas
tree for the poor at the Pennington
building, if possible; if not there, at
some other covenient place. Donations
for this tree will be solicited and Mrs.
Curtis through the press, asks the
ladies of Ardmore to help in some
way. either with toys, candy, clothing,
dolls. or in any way most convenient
to themselves Many children have
toys they have outgrown that would
furnish world of pleasure to the lit
tie boys and girls who have few com
forts, much less the luXuries.
Christmas is really a Children's fes-
tival and d. is to be hoped that no
child in Ardmore will be without a
song in his heart on Christmas Day.
Telephone Mrs. Curtis at the rest
room or simply take your donations
to Mrs. Curtis.

{: FEWER MEDICAL SCHOOLS ::
:: !:
:: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: /. :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

There are II fewer medical schools
in the United States than there were
a year ago; 1000 fewer persons stud
led medicine in 1913 than in 1872; and
there was a decrease of 500 in the
number of medical graduates, accord
ing to figures compiled at the United
States bureau of education.
The reduction in the number Of
medical schools is part of steady
movement for improved medical edr-
eaton that has been going on for the
past s or 9 years The American Med
ical Association. the various state
medical societies, ana other agencies,
have aroused public opinion to such
an extent that ~ medical colleges
have either merged with other insti-
tutions or ceased to exist and the
standard of medical training has been
raised considerably OF the lOl med
ical schools now listed at the bureau,
53 are requiring one or more years Of
college work prerequisite to entering
upCn the study of medicine State eX-
amining boards in North Dakota, To-
wa. Minnesota, Colorado, Indiana,
South Dakota, and Kentucky have in
troduced regulations, in most cases
to be made effective within year or
two. providing that every applicant
for a license to practice medicine,
shall have studied two years in col
lege. after a four-years' high school
course, before even beginning medic
al training. A similar requirement
covering one year of college work
will soon be enforced by the state
boards of Connecticut, Kansas, Utah
Vermont Pennsylvania, and Califor-
mia.
An interesting feature of the sta
tistics is the part played by women.
Although the total number of medical
students has decreased, the number
of women studying medicine has in
creased. In 1912 there were lS,45l
medical students, of whom 7l2 were
women; in 1913 there We're l123S
students. of whom $50 were women.
ONLY 20 women graduated this year,
however, as compared with li2 in 1872.

SCHOOL ELECTION, SAT-

There is no more important date on our calendar than the third Saturday in May the date of our Annual School Election.
 Arkansas has permanent in- vestment of more than $lO, 000,- GOO in public school property and more than S2, GOO. 900 invested in its University, State Normal, Ag- ricultural Schools. etc.
 It is, therefore. apparent from a financial standpoint alone that every citizen should be interested in casting his vote in selecting those who shall administer that portion of this great fund avail able in his district.
 Yet. how much more import ant is this question than the mere matter of the money involved, when we consider that our public school are our one means of train ing the rising generation for citizenship.
 It is of personal importance to nearly every citizen that persons capable and worthy are elected to the School Board in his dis trict, for the directors have very broad discretionary powers. as we'll as full authority to handle the affairs. he district and, once el89 J office for three

THE MONROE COUNTY PROBE.

The disgraceful condition that has precipated a searching into the acts of one of the most im- portant officials of Monroe county is not without a cause and 1t IS time for every tax payer in the county to examine the cause.
 It has only been a few years since nearly the same conditions existed in that same important office and THEN. as now, the scrip of the county was worth only 30 to 40 cents on the dollar. The same cause produced the re- suits then, i. C., ring politics and demagogery.
 There's scarcely any one who doesn't remember that portions of the records of the county were published in the county papers last year. charging an open profligacy of county f. nances. The people cannot plead ignorance of the existing condi- tions. They knew it before the election and yet they voted in open disregard of what they knew, so the cause of all the trouble is upon the shoulders of the people themselves.
 Just so long as men will close their eyes to theil. real duty and allow the wrong kind of men to step in, frame up and run the politics. these conditions will continue.

HODGES HEIRS GET $3,OOO
Railroads Loose Heavy Damages Case at Claren-
 don this Week.

In the Circuit Court on Tues day the jury brought in a yer dict for the full amount of damages asked. S3. GOO. % against the Rock Island Ry., in favor of the children of Charley Hodges, who was killed during the early part of the year by a Rock Is- land train between this city and Biscoe.
 The evidence revealed the fact that Hodges was aboard a speeder with negro man and woman coming back to Brinkley from Biscoe where he had been on de- bauch. They were drinking to- gether and were under the in- fiuence of whiskey. and as they were speeding along were run down by Rock Island train which was going at a 35-mile per hour rate. The evidence showed that the train didn't have it's headlight burning as required by law and it was largely on this that the jury fixed the blame on the railroad.
 The Hodges children, Irene and Otha, were present at the trial and Attorney c. F. Green lees eloquent plea for the jury to render "a verdict for the $3, GOO as asked, $500 for Irene and $500 for Otha" was evil dently touching.
 The railroad will appeal the case. so it is reported.
