1t is well realized by American naval

Though Business High School has TO
cripple its efficiency by a double session
! plan to accommodate its even 1,SO0 pupils
in a building with a capacity of LOO, no
immediate relief is in sight to remedy
this condition.
Business High also suffers from lack
of large study hall and from an in
adequate teaching force, which places
a heavy burden on teachers, and there
fore handicaps pupils.
Central High Schools new building is
expected to relieve this congestion to
some extent, but that building will not
be completed for two years, and mean
while Business enrolment is growing
steadily. 1t is not believed the pupils
taken over by the new Central School will
bring the Business enrolment within
thu capacity of its present building.
Perhaps the greatest handicap under
which Business works is its lack Of
playground space. Boys and girls alike
must be turned into the streets at recess
periods. For several years Principal
Allan Davis has been trying TO get
funds to convert the roof into a girls
play space. But deaf ears have been
turned to his request.
Principal Davis today furnished fig-
Ures to indicate the steadily increasing
enrolment of the school. The figures
taken are the October enrollments, con-
sidered a fair basis OF comparison
How Enrolment Increases.
In 1907 the school opened at its present
building at Ninth street and Rhode
Island avenue with s11 pupils. In 1905
there We're 9l2. There were So in 1863;
l,gll in 1910; 1,107 in 1911; LA in 1872;
LIZ in 1913, and 1,SoO in 1914.
Most of the work requested by Princi-
pal Davis is in accordance with original
plans for the school. lie would have
three class rooms and an open air room
erected on the space north OF the build
ing not now utilized for any purpose
Mr.. Davis said.
The projected completion of the
school will accommodate about 30
additional pupils, and VIII add mark
edly to the usefulness OF the school
BY carrying out the original plans.
1t is a matter OF economy for the
District TO utilize the site. main
buildings and valuable equipment in
the instruction of these 2e additional
pupils rather than to attempt the du-
Dlication OF a large educational plant
Such a plan insures a minimum OF
cost of instruction per pupil
The proposed addition, Mr.. Davis
pointed out, would give additional pupils
the perfected organization of a school
already well established. and thus Will
render a maximum OF educational eftlci-
ency. Work done at Business requires
specially trained teachers and experts,
who already are available at Business.

agents of the pool. During the re mainder of this month these agents will be named and other details of the loan will be worked out. Other calls will be issued monthly, or as often as needed.
 The pool will easily double the loan ing power of the South, according to
 Memphis bankers. It will be placed on warehouse certificates accompanied by insurance, at six cents per pound, or $30 bale.

COTTON LOAN POOL COMPLETE SUCCESS SYNDICATE IS ORGANIZED WILL HAVE MONEY READY TO
 LOAN ON COTTON BY
 NOVEMBER l.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 15.-The cot ton loan pool is complete success.
 All subscriptions to the $150,O00,OOO fund have been practically completed and the syndicate will be formed at meeting of bankers today in St. Louis. All details of the plan will be worked out and the machinery will be gotten in shape to begin actual loans by Mo- vember 1.
 Memphis bankers interested in the formation of the pool stated yesterday that the plan was sure to go through today. Their information was that all subscriptions from every section of the country had been been made and when the beankers meet in St. Louis today they will have the pledges of hundreds of financial institutions of funds to carry out the plans.
 The pledges of the Memphis banks have already been forwarded to St. Louis, where they will be placed with others from different parts of the country.
 The entire scheme has gone through without "a hitch and there remains lit tie doubt that today the organization will be formed and placed in position to place loans on cotton warehouse certificates.
 With actual money ready to loan on cotton by November 1, the move ment will have established somewhat of record for the rapid mobilization of so large sum. No intimation has been given as to the personnel of the syndicate officials, but assurance is given that they will be men of highest moral and financial standing.
 The pledges of the different banks are subject to calls in monthly install ments of 15 per cent of the total. Soon after the formation of the syndicate a call for this 15 per cent, which amounts to $22, 100000, will be sent out. That sum will be in the hands of the officials of the syndicate by Mo- vember 1, and will be sent by them to the different banks throughout the South which have been appointed

ARKANSAS PLAYS BULLDOGS FRIDAY OPENING GAME OF YEAR BATESVILLE TO MEET HENDRIX ELEVEN ON RUSSELL
 FIELD GRIDIRON.

The Arkansas College football elev- en of Batesville will arrive tomorrow morning at 9:22 o'clock, and at 33O P. m. it will meet the Hendrix College Bulldogs on Russell field for the opening game of the season. The Ar kansas team is reputed to be excep- tlonally strong this season. The only dope obtainable on the relative strength of the two teams is that Ar kansas was defeated 25 to early this season by Henderson-Brown at Arka- delphia, team that has defeated Hendrix College during the past seven years by scores varying from 72 to 0 to 6 to 0. This is enough, however, to guarantee a battle royal on Hen dirk campus tomorrow afternoon.
 Cantain Harton of Hendrix said this morning that the Bulldogs will not be in the best of condition for the game, owing to the fact that three of the first string men are on the hospi- tai list, and others are still complain ing of stiff joints. In practice yester- day afternoon, little ginger or pep" was displayed, and the workout was very unsatisfactory. This afternoon the team will be given signal work, and the coach will then send them through limbering-up process, which rarely fails to bring the desired re- suit.
 A large crowd of spectators is ex- pected to see the game. An admission of 50 cents will be charged at the gate.

The Proposed List Of Kaws.
Baseball conditions in Topeka are
more promising than in any previous
year. Manager Gear has sixteen pitch
ers signed, but expects the regular
staff to be composed OF Ralph Glaze,
Paul Brown, Faircloth, Pepper
Clark. ''Parson" Richardson, Fuller
ton and Higginbotham. With this ar
ray and Catchers McAllister, Rapps
and Smizer, Koernor at first, Dowd at
second, French in the short field,
Cochran at third, Forsythe in left,
Tallion. in center and Carlos Smith In
right, there appears to be nothing to
prevent the club from finishing well
up in the first division and being one
Of the dangerous contenders on the
circuit.
The Kaws will open at home and
play twelve games before going on the
road, they will play twelve games on
the road. followed by four at home,
on the road for sixteen games and re-
turn home June / for twenty-four
games. This will give the Kaws forty
games at home before July 1. This
will permit the Topeka club to reap

as attendance always is better at the

TRAVEL
"There are lots of things

There are lots OF things
you never learn at school," So
goes the familiar phrase.
Thanks to railroad, steam
boat, and automobile adver-
tising in good newspapers
that go into thousands of
homes, one may learn a great
deal of geography that very
often is of lasting value.
Travel by land and sea has
increased wonderfully in the
last decade-since the perfec-
tion of comfortable means of
transit and the development
of modern newspaper adver-
tising.
Travelling has always been
of great educational value and
will always continue to be.
And so, even though but q
small percentage of the read
ers of The State Journal can
travel extensively, yet all may
travel occasionally.
The advertisements are al
ays interesting, however, and
have a broadening and inspir-
ing influence.
They claim the attention
alike of those who travel and
those who stay at home.
