TWO WEEKS SCHOOL
 FOR CORN CLUB BOYS
15O of Them Will Attend Uniuue Demonstrations and Lectures At
 Little Rock. a z.

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The two weeks school to be given by the Arkansas Fertilizer Company to 150 members of the Boys Corn Clubs of the state which will open next Monday, prom ises to be the biggest event of this kind ever pulled off in Arkansas. The boys who will attend have all been selected by the special agents of the United States Department of Agricul- ture
 When arrangements were first made for this school, it was the intention of the company to secure tents and have the party camp at Forest park, but through the kindness of Bishop J. B. Morris the buildings of the Little Rock College have been secured. This will give the boys fire proof dormitories in which to sleep. The college dining room will also be used, as we'll as the gymnasium, swimming pool and ath- letic field placed at the disposal of the visiting boys,
 In addition to the regular lectures one or two Little Rock business men will address the boys daily.
 The entire expense for the two weeks school is being borne by the fertilizer company, With the exception of 5railroad, fare, the railroads of the state donating the transportation.
 On August 16 all farm demonstra- tion men of the state, as we'll as every manufacturer in Arkansas and adioin- ing states, will meet with the boys and the discussion will be along the lines of stimulating interest in agri- cultural pursuits in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Aug. 4.-Capt. A. B. Sloan, U. s. A., deatiled to service with the Arkansas National Guard, accom- nanied by Maj. w. c. Bradford, left Little Rock Sunday afternoon for Warren. where today the military company will be inspected. The in- spectlon will then continue, one or more companies each day, until Sep- tenber 6. by which time the entire state will have been travelled over.
 This inspection is being made for the purpose of showing the officer of the United, States Army, that the Guard has more property than credit ed with in the last inspection. and it IS hoped that enough additional eauip- ment will be- shown to wipe out the charges against the Guard
 The last inspection was made ius, after the legislature had failed to pass a bill making the usual appropriation for the Guard, when report was cir culated over the state the Guard would be disbanded. In many places Captain Sloan failed to get a suffician, number of the company members fo, an inspection, the men thinking there would be no inspection, and for tha reason they failed to. show up witt their equipment. This equipment wa 2 all reported short by Captain Sloan because he must personally see it, o report it short.

EDITORIALS
THE SCARCITY
OF TEACHERS

June is time of stress for school
boards and superintendent, when
vacancies occur in teaching forces.
and anxious candidates of more or
less rawness are scrutinized.
In spite of all the abundant facil-
tiles offered by normal schools and
colleges it is harder than ever to
find acceptable teachers. In many
places where it was once required
that candidates have had actual
school experience, now the single
condition of a normal school train
ing is made, often not as much as
that.
The explanation is simply that
other fields are offering women
more encouraging returns. The
average stenographer. who may not
have had a full high school course,
who has to pay from her own pock-
ct for about six NOR tbs training
probably gets more than the aver
age grade school teacher, who must
usually be high and normal school
graduates.
Furthermore business and pro-
fessional fields are opening wider
every year to the feminine aspirant
People would be surprised did
they know how many women are
running little farms or market
gardens, bake-shops, millinery and
dress-making establishments, res
taurants and lunch rooms, hotels,
even newspapers. In these and
other fields, whatever brains and
business ability they have is not
discounted on the ground of sex,
but brings its full value in the
market.
Under these circumstances, the
school room grind looks less and
less attractive to the ambitious girl
Why should she teach for SIS
week for only 35 to 90 weeks
year, when she can maze so much
more if she has the initiative and
efficiency to conduct little bust
ness Of her own?
Towns and cities are poor pay
masters. In New York City where
the cost of living is at the top,
they have it figured out that the
average elementary teacher earns
only $40; the average street
cleaner 1851. In all other fields
brains command a better price
than music.
