RECORD FOR 1913.

Three hundred and forty -one mar
riage icenses-a number exceeding all

cred unusually high.

308 in 1911. Last year the number
was 300; in 1910 there were only 275
and in 1909 273 licenses issued-a to-
tai of 1903 for the past five years.
AS So is charged for each marriage
license, fees from this source brought
the Office of the county clerk during
1918 the sum of $1,023. Of this
amount so cents on each license or
$17O.5O, goes into the county general
fund and $852.50 goes to the clerk.

SCHOOLS TOOTCROWDED
TO DO THE BEST WORK
AVERAGE OF 55.5 PUPILS To-
ROOM is TOO GREAT, SAYS.
SUPT. WOMACK.

With 800 pupils in 10 rooms, an av-
erage OF 55.5 to the room, it is i'm
possible for the best work to be done
in the Conway public school, according
to Supt. J. P. Womack. The school
re-opened yesterday with that number
present, the attendance in each room
being as follows: Room /, 81; 2, 6S:
3, 55; 4, IS; 5, SIS; 6, 81; 7, SO; 8,
AZ; 9, 81; 10, 80.
AS 40 is considered full room. it
will be easily seen that our teachers
are doing great deal more work than
they should be asked to do" said Supt.
Womack today. Look at the figures
for rooms l to 7 inclusive and decide
whether you can reasonably criticize
the teachers for what they do or fail
to do. How many parents could keen
that many children in order eight
hours a day and not get any gray
hairs? And yet the teachers have not
only to keep order but to teach as
well. In fact, keeping order is only
incidental to their work. So, if your
child does not seem to get all the at
tentlon it seems entitled to, just re-
member that the average time pupil
is entitled to is little less than seven
minutes a day. And remember also
only one room can give more than tina
amount, while four of them must give
less"
