WANTS COMPULSORY
 SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS AND OUTLINES LEGISLATIVE
 MEASURES.
CHANGE IN APPORTIONMENT
1t Is Said One of the Most Important Recommendations Which Will Be Made Is for Appointment of an
 IIiterarcy Commission.
Little Rock


 At a meeting of the State Board of Education 1t was decided to recom- mend to the Legislature uniform com pulsory school attendance law; an ap- propriation, or a small state tax, by which the interest on the permanent school fund may be met each year; law amending the apportionment or state school funds whereby the appor- tionment will be based upon the aver age daily attendance instead of the proper safeguarding of the issuance of district school bonds; and change by which teachers institutes may be held in any month from June until Oc- tober instead of in June alone.
 One of the most important recom- mendatons which will be made is for the appointment of an illiteracy com mission. The proposed commission will consist of both men and women whose duty it will be to consider ways and means for eliminating illiteracy in Arkansas. The members are to serve without pay.
 It was also decided to ask for the passage of law appropriating S25,000 a year out of the general revenue fund to aid and encourage rural and village high schools in the teaching of agri, culture, domestic arts and manual training, and for the introduction of special courses in high schools for the training of rural teachers. The board went on record as indorsing the prin- ciple of state uniformity of textbooks law.
 The recommendation for the appro- priation or levy for the permanent school fund is made for the reason that default in the interest payment of something over $25,000 was made last year because there were no funds available for this payment. The fund consists of s1034.000 school money borrowed by the state in 1899. The state issued bonds bearing three per cent interest to cover the loan. The board now hopes to have created either by appropriation or by levy a sinking fund out of which the interest may be met each year.
 The amendment sought in the pSesent method of apportioning school funds to the various districts seeks to make the actual average daily at tendance at the schools the basis Of apportionment instead of the enumera- tion. Report of the attendance is made in June. and the apportionment is made in September. Hitherto there has been no incentive for increasing the schools actual attendance, as the apportionment was made simply on the enumeration. Also the possibility of padding the figures is greatly re- duced.

MATADoR DOOMED IN MEXICO
General carranza Puts a Ban on Bull fights in the Southern
 Republic.

General CarranZa has acted for the betterment of Mexico by issuing a de- cree abolisEing bullfighting, long re- garded as the national sport of Mexico. The decree states the government is under obligations to stamp out GUS toms which are opposed to culture, and to aid civilization by elevating the moral level of the people. It de- nounces bullfghts as needlessly en- dangering the lives of men torturing beasts, provoking sanguinary senti- ments and disgracing the country.
 Then what commentary on the poor of Mexico follows! Immediately after the denunciation of bullfghting the decree adds that bulIfights cause misery to the poor, who, for a mo- ments enjoyment, go without the nee essaries of life. This remarks the Fl Paso (Tex.) Herald. is an admission that the masses of Mexico are willing to deprive themselves of food and clothing to enjoy something which is a disgrace to the country.
 This recalls a statement ascribed to the late President Diaz, who, when asked once whom the people of Mexico would elect for president If allowed an unrestricted exerclse of the ballot is said to have replied: "Bombito, the bullfighter"
 There may have been some truth in the alleged interview, or it may be wholly fictitious. If at all true, it il- lustrates the hold which the so-called sport has had upon some Mexicans, especially the lower classes.
