CADR0N RIDGE SCHOOL
ENDS SUCCESSFUL Term

A successful summer school taught
by Prof. w. N. Jones and Miss Mae
Goad was closed at Cadron Ridge,
three miles northwest of Conway,
Friday. Interesting closing exercises
consisted of a program rendered by
the pupils, an address by County Elk
aminer J. NJ. C. Vaughter and box
supper served in the interest of the
fund being raised by the S. |. A. for
the purchase of an organ. A quilt
with the names of about 200 persons
embroidered upon it, was sold at auc-
ton for $3.50, with 10 cents addi-
tional realized from each name APP
pearing on the quilt. The S. l. A.
has been organized only since the be-
ginning of the present term, but mas
done very effective work. Joe Green
gave the school permission to fell the
timber obstructing the view from the
crest of Cadron Ridge and the pupils
now haze a beautiful view for five or
10 miles away.
At the closing exercises Earl Shu-
mate was awarded certificate OF
graduation. Eight pupils, seven OF
them being members of the Turner
family, were given awards for beng
neither absent or tardy during the
term. They were illus, Erma, Dora'
Oils, Lizzie, Lois and Czerda Turner
and Pearl Shumate.
Patrons declare it the best short
term school ever held at Cadron Ridge
and that Prof. Jones and Miss Goad
deserve much credit for it. Prof.
Jones having made other arrange
, ments, Miss Goad was retained for
the winter school.

HOME TALENT EXTRAVAGANZA
TO BE PRESENTED AS BEN

Everyone undoubtedly remembers
"Fi Fl of the Toy Shop" the delight
full home talent play given last June
under the auspices of the Methodist
church choir for the pipe organ fund.
Another of the John B. Rogers pro-
auctions, ''In Story Book Land" is to
be given under the same auspices at
the Grand the latter part of next
week. All who saw "Fi FIJI declared
it to be one of the best amateur at
fractions ever staged here, but the
new play promises to surpass it in
every particular.
I'm Story Book Land" is a musical
extravaganza. The dances, music,
spectacular features and costuming
are beyond description; they must be
seen to be appreciated.
The theme of the play is as follows
Jean and Allen, indignant because
their mothers will not allow them to
stay up for her party, wish that they
could be in Story Book Land, which,
as pictured in their now book of the
same name, would, they think, be
much more attractive than living at
home with an unfeeling mother.
Their wish is granted and they are
taken through Story Book Land where
they meet interesting people and
strange adventures. Many unexpect-
ed complications arise and conditions
finally become so serious for the chill
dren, that they are overjoyed to re-
turn to real life, convinced that home

PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR NEGROES URGED
PROF. LEO M. FAVROT, STATE
AGENT OF NEGRO SCHOOLS
SPEAKS HERE.

An address on the subject "a Prac-
|tical Education for Negroes illus
Itrated with stereopticon views, was
given last evening at the courthouse
before an audience of eolored people,
together with several white citizens
Of Conway, by the state agent of rural
schools, Prof. Leo NJ. Favrot, of the
department of public instruction. The
speaker, after being introduced by
|Supt. J. P. Womack of the public
schools, explained that school men and
business men everywhere advocated a
practical education for all people and
all races, but that in the present stage
Of development of the negro race, GER
tain fundamental needs of the race
had to be met, and these needs had to
be stressed in the public schools. He
dwelt upon the need for better health
among negroes and the necessity that
rules of helath be taught in the
schools and that sanitary homes and
habits be required by law in all COM
munities.
The speaker referred to the habits
that had to be inculcated upon the
negro race-habits Of industry, thrift,
self-respect and self-control, and
higher standards of moral living-and
showed what part the school should
play in developing these habits. The
pictures shown demonstrated what
was being done in several counties of
the state towards teaching industries.
The teaching o. domestic arts, cook
ing, sewing and laundering, together
with home gardening and putting up
fruits and vegetables for girls, and
the handling of tools and practical ag-
riculture for boys, were shown on the
screen. The value Of the negro girls
home makers club movement in sew
eral counties of the state was demon
strated. This movement is supported
jointly by the Jeanes fund and the
General Education Board.
In closing, the speaker urged the
cooperation of both races in working
with Superintendent Womack and the
school authorities to help make the
school practical and to make it serve
the real needs Of the negro race.

pute with fellow-pupils and to show
our school spirit to other people, to
let them understand that we are not
asleep at old Blackfork.
/ am glad to say that the people of
Blackfork have faithfully assisted us
in trying to have the best school in
Faulkner county.
On September 4, about 80 school
children, accompanied by about so or
rs of the parents of Blackfork, start
ed to Holland, where the final contest
was held. We had eight representa-
tives, and when the judges announc-
ed the winners the following names
were called from Blackfork: Archie
Troxell, Clivie Johnson, Roy Snow,
Elton Vaughn, Eva Dempsey and No
Ian Troxell.
Our representatives did well and
put forth every honest effort to OBJ
tain that which they were seeking.
The people should be proud of the
boys and girls of their school and the
good work they did in the contest.
Not only have the boys and girls
striven to improve their mental fac
ulties, but they have observed the
physical side as well. At the COM
mencement of school we organized
baseball club of 10 boys. During the
entire school they have done some
good work.
The school board is composed of
men who have level heads and who
can look into the future and see
things. They are body of men that
have a school interest and are ready
to do things.
We are planning for a grand school
this winter. Never was there time
before in the history Of Blackfork
school that prospects were as bright
as they are for school now. May
everyone awake to their interest and
ioin hands to make the winter school
the most successful school ever had
at Blackfork.
