SCHOOL DIRECTORS
 ARRANGE CAMPAIGN

Little Rock, June 23-The execu tive committee which has in charge the campaign for amendment No. 12, by which school districts will be per mitted to vote 12mill school tax, met in Little Rock Thursday night and mapped plan for the campaign.
 Y. A. Trusty of Fort Smith, repre- senting the school directors associa- ton, stated that the principal busi ness of the committee was to get the school directors in each county to working for the amendment. This would interest the leading citizens, and turn the teachers loose to work among the other patrons of the schools.
 The argument of the opposition was discussed, as well as the best means for combating it. It was ex plained that the chief argument so far was an appeal to the oredulity of the rural people, who were told that if the amendment was adopted they would have to pay more taxes. It was decided to reach these people through publicity and other means, and show them that no increase can be made unless they favor it, and at the same time point out the benefits to be derived, which are far superior to any objections.
 Speakers will also be provided for the summer series of picnics.
