FIRE Al MIDNIGHT DESTROYS SCHOOL
BUILDING AT MORRIL TON
IS BURNED SHORTLY AFTER PROMOTION EXERCISES
 ARE HELD.
From Saturdays Daily

From Saturdays Daily
 Fire which was discovered at 11:3O o'clock last night totally destroyed the new primary school building at Morrilton, causing loss of about S30 0,000, only one-half of which is covered by insurance
 The fire, which had evidently been smouldering for some hours, was dis covered only about an hour after pro- motion exercises, attended by a pack led audience, had been dismissed. President J. J. Doyne of the Arkan- sas State Normal, who delivered the address for the occasion, returned this morning and said the destruc- tion of the building was practically complete, the flames having gained such headway that the fre-fghters were unable to do anything upon their arrival. The fire is believed to have originated from the furnace. An un- usually hot fire had been built by the janitor and metal fue which ran through wooden partitions is believed to have become overloaded.
 MT. Doyne stated that the direc tors at once took steps to continue the school without interruption. At midnight meeting arrangements were made to conduct school for the first three grades in the w. o. w. opera house and the remaining grades of the primary and grammar schools will be transferred to the high school building.
 The exercises last night, MT. Doyne said, were very enjoyable. Thirty six pupils of the grammar school were promoted to high school.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Anna Mae Hanna has re-entered |school after long absence due to i'll health.
 Supt. o IL. Dunaway of Hot Springs paid us a visit recently. He is mak- ing good at his new post and is de- lighted with his work.
 Crawford Giddens has dropped out term. We are sorry to lose him; he is good pupil.
 If you want to see some especially interesting work, drop in and watch the tenth grade arithmetic class or the ninth history. The work in both is intensely interesting.
 The pupils in room two had spell- ing contest the first of the week in which they spelled every word passed over the past month in their spelling book and all the harder words in their reader, 169 words in all. Four pupils, Agnes Garrett, Jewel Banks, Thelma Echols and Charles Adams, spelled every word correctly-a most excellent showing.
 Miss Pauline Newborn has been substituting this week for Miss Agnes Maddox, who is confined to her room with a painful illness. Miss Maddox will probably lose the entire week.
 Blanche Duncan is still out of school on account of i'll health. She will have to go to Little Rock again | for treatment.
 For the second time in three years we are called upon to record the death of a pupil. Homer Tedder of room one passed away yesterday at 6 D. m., after an illness of some 16 days. He suffered much, but the end came peacefully. The body is being laid away today at Holland. Teachers and pupils join in expressing sym pathy to the bereaved ones. A broth CT and sister, Noel and Bessie, are also very sick of the same trouble.
 On behalf of the HOO school chil- dren of Conway, we wish to express our appreciation of the sacrifice our public spirited citizens are making to continue our school, It is no occa- sion of remark when man puts up for the education of his own children, for that is no more than buying shoes and medicine. But when men who cannot profit directly by their liberality go down into their pockets to help educate other mems children, we feel that word of commendatlon is not out of order. Let us assure you that in so far as we can we will give you the worth of your money in a we'll behaved, intelligent, law-abid- ing citizenship For the Conway
 schools are trying, first of all and hardest of all, to make good citizens.
 Your example of helptulness and community spirit makes our task easier. Every big-hearted, open handed, public spirited man or wom- an in a community is a big asset.
