DIR. M'BRIEN MAKES
 INSPIRATIONAL TALK
QUALIFICATIONS AND OPPOR- TUNITIES OF TEACHERS DIS
 GUESSED AT NORMAL.
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
 An interesting and inspiring ad- dress was delivered this morning at the Arkansas State Normal School by Dr. Jaspar L. McBrien of the United States Bureau of Education on the qualifications and opportunities of the teacher. The lecture was given close attention by the entire faculty and student body of the Normal School and several visitors.
 Character, scholarship and com nonsense, Dr. McBrien stated, are the principal qualifications for teach CT. without which none could succeed. He gave many illustrations to show how necessary are these qualified tions. Dr. McBrien also explained the new national law which will give S15,O00,OO0 for the next seven years from the government treasury for agricultural extension work, and sald this measure will afford an unusual opportunity to the teachers of the south who would qualify themselves for the positions in this work.
 This afternoon Dr. McBrien held an interesting round-table discussion with the Normal students and fac ulty, answering many question and discussing many important phases of the teachers profession.

CASE OF CONTRACTOR
 VS. ENGINEERS TRIED
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Dai'V
 Contractor Joseph McCoppin re- turned this morning from Little Rock, where he has been since Monday at tending the trial of the case of Dick Coppin, in the Pulaski circuit court, a suit growing out of the construction of the Conway waterworks system As will be remembered, it was more than a year after the expiration of the time allowed before the system was finally accepted by the commits sioners, the delay being due to leak age of the wooden water mains which for a time seemed almost impossible to stop. Under the contract with the improvement board the contractor was liable to the engineers for $1O a day for each day more than the al lotted time for the completion of the system. When the system was com pleted the board turned over a bal ance of about 100 to be held by a bank in trust pending the settlement of the differences between the con- tractor and the engineers. Dickinson & Watkins brought suit against Me Coppin for $6,000 and the latter filed a counter-claim for about $14,000 damages, alleging that the delay in the completion of the system was the fault of the engineers. MT. McCop- pin stated that the case was decided by the court sitting as jury, and that after reducing the claims of both parties, he received net judg- ment for the amount slightly exceed ing the sum held on deposit. The case, however, he stated, would likely be to the supreme court.

STATE NATIONAL CLOSE
 HITS HENDRIX COLLEGE
CONWAY INSTITUTION OWNS $10,OO0 STOCK IN LITTLE
 ROCK BANK.
From Saturday's Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
 While none of the the three Con- way banks will suffer any loss by the closing of the State National Bank at Little Rock this morning, if a failure occurs it will mean a severe financial blow to Hendrix College, which owns S1O,000 stock in the Lit tie Rock bank. Being national bank the stockholders are liable for double the amount of their stock, should it be required to pay off the depositors. There are two or three other local holders of stock in the Little Rock bank, but so far as can be learned no Conway deposits were carried by it.
 The stock owned by Hendrix Col lege in the State Nationaal was gift to the college by the late Capt. w. w. Martin. The Faulkner County Bank was the local correspondent of the State National, but had withdrawn practically all of it's balance before the failure occurred. Their books to- day show a balance due the Faulkner County Bank of only $173, and this small amount will probably be rceov- cred, as it is not thought the depos- itors will lose anything.
 The first official information that the State National was in trouble came this morning, when at 2 o'clock the directors issued a statement that on account of heavy withdrawals of deposits during the past few days the bank would not open for business this morning. The directors declared that the depositors would be paid in full. The State National is one of Little Rocks newest banks and re- gently erected the big 12-story office building at Fifth and Main streets in that city.

At an enthusiastic meeting held in the directors room of the Farmers State Bank last night, new life was put into the promotion of the chau- tauqua, interest in which has been at rather low ebb until the present. The big week of entertainment will begin here Friday morning and some of the finest platform talent in the nation will appear during the week, entertainments being given twice daily.
 It was announced at last night s meeting that a sufficient number of tickets had been sold to meet the con- tract with the bureau and that all sold from now on will go toward re- ducing the guarantee fund of $500 subscribed by 20 local business and professional men. Local Secretary G. Rice Wilson expressed the opinion today that tile remaining 250 season tickets will doubtless be sold before the chautauqua opens, and vigorous campaign to place them will be con tinued for the next three days.
 Another meeting of the local con- mittee will be held late this afternoon.
