A Great Convention.

A half-million children is
good number and represents a
great power when they are right
ly directed but in many homes
this task is left entirely to the
public and Sunday Schools.
There are about that many in
the good State of Arkansas who
never go to Sunday School and
nearly that many who do not go
regularly to day school. The So
luton of this problem lies with
the nation whose greatest char
acter builder is the Sunday
School and its workers. The
great convention to be held in
Warren April ID tn to 10Th, is
for the purpose of studying these
problems that must be met by an
educated leadership and this
convention will offer great oppor-
tunities to all teachers, pastors
and Sunday school workers. No
school should fail to send one or
more delegates who will be en-
tertained by the citizens of
Warren.
A number of the best speakers
from all parts of the country will
be heard, including Mr.. Brown
of the International Sunday
School Association. And some
of the specialists in work with
boys and girls.
There will be a devotional
period each day by the Rev.
John Van Lear, d. d. of Little
Rock, and special work for the
teachers in every department Of
the school. There will be great
singing by the whole convention
and banquests and special con-
ferences every day. Send names
of delegates to Arkansas Sunday
School Association with regis
tration fee of 81 90 at once.

DIED-One mile north of this
city, on the 9TH inst, Mr.. F. O..
Robertson, aged about so years.
Mr.. Robertson had been in poor
health for long time. He was
the son of the late DR.. S. G..
Robertson, and Mrs. S. G.. Rob
ertson, of this city. He was
born and reared in Monticello,
and spent most of his life here,
where he was engaged in the
Drug business, and, afterwards
as Bookkeeper. For the past ten
years he has been living on his
farm. He was a quiet, peace
able citizen, and an upright,
honorable man. He leaves a
wife and several children, be-
sides his aged mother and one
sister, Mrs. Emma Allen, to
mourn his death. The remains
were inferred in Oakl and Gene
terry, this city, on last Tuesday
at IL 80 O'clock. Ser
vices were held at the grave,

any one year. Some seven or
eight have indicated their inten-

dozen. or more, have their peep

1t is announced that the four
Agricultural schools, of the
state, will close, after July 1st,
for two years, as a result of the
Governor vetoing the Teachers

means may be found to continue
the schools. Let the Governor

appropriations for Agricultural
schools; and as sequence some
of the prospective candidates for
Governor raised a howl, which
has been taken up by other enc
mics of the Governor, and the
Boards of the schools, and the
cry has gone forth that the
schools will have to close be-
cause no appropriation is now
available for teachers salaries.
While the Governor vetoed
the $4,000 item for salaries he
left, intact, the larger item of
$40, 900 for maintenance of the
schools, with the idea and IN
Outstanding that this fund could
be used for paving teachers as
we'll as for other purposes con-
nected with the schools. As no
single item of appropriation
could be vetoed in part, the Gov
ernor wishing to aid the schools
all that he could, left the larger
item standing; and were it not
for the playing of politics, pure
and simple, this $40, 900 appro-
priation for each of the schools,
would have been spent in defray-
ing the current expenses, and the
schools would have gone right
on and no great trouble would
have resulted Gov. HAYS, not
being of that extremely techni-
cal sort as those who wish to
succeed him in office, had an
idea that schools could not we'll
be maintained without teach
and that salaries were as much
a part of the maintenance fund
as anything else, vetoed the
smaller and left in the bill the
the larger appropriation.
The Auditor has given it out
that he would honor the war
rants drawn on this fund in pay
ment of the teachers salaries, as
we'll as any other item of ex-
pense; then why all of this con-
fusion?
AS the schools receive pay
from the pupils for their board
and their farms should be self
sustaining, and they all are fully
equipped with new buildings, we
fail to understand what purpose
they could put the $4,000 to
unless it was to hire teachers.
But let us admit for argument
sake that this $40, 900, under
the law, as it stands, cannot be
used for salaries, the Governor
proposed to issue a proclama
ton, recognizing a deficiency,
and diverting this fund to the
purpose of liquidating such de-
iciency; but the Boards Of the
different schools, with their
backs up, because they did not
get the whole loaf, refused to ask
the Governor for such relief, and
propose to close the schools, in
stead. 1t is the old adage of
"biting off ones nose to spite
his own face"
AS these schools are not more
popular, now, than they should
be, with great many people, it
is the duty of those in charge OF
them to use all means, possible,
to keep them going, and to use
all manner of economy and skill
to prove their worth, rather
than sulking in their tents, be-
cause they failed to get all they
asked for.
To close the schools for two
years, may mean their utter ex.
tinction.
