TEACHERS FAVOR
 AMENDMENT N0.l2
YAUGHTERIS COMMENDED
Most Successful County Institute Ever Held Here Adopts Resolu-
 tiOns and Adjourns.

WnO had not attended for five days by Friday afternoon are remaininp over today and the sessions are being continued for that reason, the annual Faulkner county teachers institute practically concluded it's work yester- day afternoon and the majority of those attending left for their homes. 1t was intended that the full attend ance should be kept up for six days, but the law requires only five days attendance and the teachers yester- day afternoon voted to permit all who had been enrolled for five days to leave.
 The institute was decidedly the most successful and the most largely attended ever held in Conway. The new system of dividing the institute into sections proved to be a signal success and 1t is said that more good work was done than ever before. The teachers had the privilege of hearing number of distinguished lecturers of the Hendrix College summer min lsttrs' conference, and the faculties of the local colleges and the State Normal School co-operated with County EXabiner J. M. c. Vaughter m supplying leaders for the various departments of the work. The en- rollment exceeded 325.
