METHODIST CHURCH

Last Sunday was a good warm day at the Methodist Church. Sometimes we perspire over there. sometimes sweat! Sunday we sweated. But, notwithstand- ing heat and consequent discom- fort to the physical man, we had good attendance and real spirit ual benedictions upon our souls. The Lord is good to us. We may not deserve the blessings of the most hign God. but glory be to His holy name, they come in un- measured fullness upon our un- worthy lives. How grateful and how faithful we should be. It is a high favor that sinful mortals like ourselves have provision made for the forgiveness of our Isins, and then for holding fellowship with God.
 Next Sunday we are to have Prof. F. D. Carr, Director of the Choir of the First Methodist Church in Little Rock, with us and to sing for us at both the morning and evening services, and to give a special song service on Monday evening at eight o'clock. This will be rare treat for all lovers of music. The public at large have special and cordial invitation to be pres ent at all these services, and to enjoy the best that can be had in our line.
 In addition to the music by the visiting singer, our home choir has some very fine songs for the Sunday services. These will be rich to the soul of all who have love for higher spiritual and mental things.

Teachers Can't
Be Social Leaders.

Hot Springs, Sept. 15.-That
local teachers cannot expect to
be success in school work and
social leaders at the same time
/ was the substance of an address
| that left no room for doubt,
which was delivered to the
teachers of the Hot Springs
schools this morning by M.
Rose, the new city superintend-
ent.
The public schools were to
have opened this morning, but
the fire caused a postponement
for a week. The conference
with the teachers prior to the
opening has been held hereto
fore in the high school building,
but that structure, one of the
finest in the state, was Destroy
ed by the flames.
Superintendent Rose and his
teachers met this morning in
the Police Court room. When 9
o'clock came the prisoners from
the city Jail were marched up
stairs, only to find the room oc-
cupied by the teachers. They
were taken into the office of
Chief of Police Tom Ellison I'M
til the teachers conference end
ed.
Superintendent Rose, speak
ing of the desire for entertain
ment and social life that teach
ers naturally feel, said:
81 want to impress on you this
fact: You cannot hope to make
a success Of your school work
by being out until 2 and 3 o'clock
in the morning. A teacher
should come to school with her
lesson learned, just as the pupils
she has charge of. l am not 60
ing to try to regulate your So
cial life, but | shall insist on the
best work that you can give, and
you cannot hope to be of any
help to humanity and keep late
hours"
The principals of the various
schools held meetings in differ
ent parts Of the city today, and
when school opens next Monday
a definite program will be in
readiness. 1t is the intention of
Superintendent Rose to bring
together the pupils who reside
in the burned district and to as
certain in what other schools it
will be advisable to place them.
Some of the classes will divide
the day, and in this case the
teacher to take charge in the af-
ternoon will act as an assistant
to the one in charge in the
morning, while in the afternoon
the morning instructor assists
her colleague later in the day.
Superintendent Rose told the
teachers he did not want any
"shirkers" among the teachers.
'"There is work, and very hard
work to be done," he said, "and
if any of you feel you are going
to fail, I'd sooner have your re-
signation this morning. Let us
work harder than ever. If we
do, we cannot fail"
