: PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


 Mid-term examinations have held the center of the stage the past week. The grades were not affected much, as they have but few regular exami- nations. But the whole time of the high school teachers and pupils for two days was taken with them.
 We have never seen an examination go off more quietly There was no friction; everybody seemed to want to do the right thing, and all have ac- |cepted the grades in good faith. We are proud of our student body; we doubt if a finer is assembled in the state.
 There were some failures, we are sorry to have to say, but there were not nearly so many as usual. In some classes there none at all The entire senior class came through without a scratch. Most of the fail ures were due to irregular attend ance; number were new pupils who had not had sufficient preparation.
 I. S. Wampler of Peabody College, Nashville, is visiting the teachers in school today in the interest of the summer school at Peabody. A num- Der of teachers will spend few weeks there next summer.
 A class of 24 began work in book keeping today.
 Olin Mathews has dropped out pre- paratory to making a crop.
 Our rooms have not been uniform ly comfortable the past week. There has been plenty of steam, but 1t has not warmed the rooms. However, we have managed to keep at work. We have permitted the pupils to stay Tn the corridors most of the recess pe- riods.
 A new course of study has been given out. It differs from the old chiefly in the required branches. Un- der the old course fourteen units were required, practically all of which were required. Now the re- quirement is fifteen units, ten of which are required. All pupils are required to take English, history al zebra, physiology, agriculture and higher arithmetic. To fill out the course they may take music, domestic science, Sunday school work, Latin, botany, bookkeeping, geometry and one other science. This gives wide range of electives, so that no pupil need feel cramped in making out his course. The new course goes into operation next year.

FRY RESIGNS AS
 UNION SECRETARY NO SUCCESSOR ELECTED ATKINS MAN CLAIMS THE POPE COUNTY ATTACK DID NOT
 FORCE HIM OUT.

Little Rock, Jan. 19-J. Il. Fry, secretary of the Arkansas Farmers Union since August, 1914, yesterday rendered his resignation to the eXecu- tive committee of the union at a meet ing at the Mahoney hotel, Markham and Cross streets. The resignation was accepted. Members of the com mittee last night would not admit that MT. Fry had resigned, although they did not deny it. MT. Fry said he had resigned immediately after the com. mittee convened The committee will be in session again today, J. r. Pane of Van Buren, chairman, said.
 MT. Fry denied vehemently that his resignation has any connection with the resolution adopted last week bv the Pope county union, asking that he he dismissed or that it was due to friction with members of the commit tee. h
 "The charges made against me by the so-called Pope county union were not mentioned by the committee, ne said "The committee did not ask me to resign. Private business affairs and my health had caused me to de- eide to resign some time ago. when the committee met today l presented my books for inspection. As soon as the members of the committee haa said they were satisfied with them' offered my resignation, giving my reasons. The committee accepted It and adopted resolutions endorsing my work in behalf of the union. | nave not severed my membership with the union There is no friction m the committee so far as l know
 "The committee will not appoint my successor. He will be elected at the annual meeting of the convention next Aueust. Until then the committee members will attend to the secretary s duties. The committee did not men tion those charges of the Pope county union against President Scott ot the agricultural school.

tackles that ever wore Hendrix uniform. His playing, though never fashy, spectacular or brilliant, was always consistent, steady, forceful and effective He was never known to take an unfair advantage of an op- ponent on the field. As in everything he stood squarely and unswervingly for principle. In track he also ex- |celled. He was always second in the distance runs and hurdle races only to "Woodrow" Wilson. In what seemed likely to be his most success full year in track work he fell while running the hurdles and broke his collar bone. Though this disabled him somewhat, still he was able to contribute his part to the glory of Hendrix at the annual Track Meet.
 As college student he bears a most enviable record. During his first year in college he maintained a very high average and each succeed ing year his grade showed higher average, thus indicating healthy growth and closer devotion to his work. In reviewing his record we find that his course contains the hardest, most difficult and most educa- tive subjects in the curriculum. He never looked for nor chose the "easy snaps" if there be those. He main tained during his entire college course an average grade of about 89 per cent, which is most excellent. In student activities MT. Bishop always was leader. He was a leader be- cause he was capable of doing things and was always interested. His ma jor subjects in college were Latin and Greek, of the latter he was assistant instructor for two years in Hendrix. There was not a phase of college life that he did not touch vitally.
 Howard Bishop was man, reserv- ed though amiable, amicable, capable with a deep sense of personal honor, and a profound respect for the rights and feelings of others. His person. ality was commanding both of respect and confidence which is attested by the various positions of honor and re- sponsibility to which he was elected by the literary societies and student body at large. Following are a few of the most significant of these:

Who's Who 1,,H ln Hen

James Howard Bishop, Jr., who has recently been selected by the Rhodes scholarship committee to represent Arkansas in Oxford University in England was born April 4, 1893, in Rails county, Missouri, near Hannibal His father, J. Ii. Bishop, being an itinerant Methodist preacher, lived as Mir. Bishop termed it, ''All over northeast Missouri In 1902, when Howard was 12 years of age the fam fly moved to Beebe, Arkansas, where they lived for five years. Here MT. Bishop finished the Grammar grades and High School. Then for educa- tion facilities they moved to Conway in 1910, where MT. Bishop entered the Senior Academy Class in Hen- drix. He graduated from Hendrix College in the class of 1915 as the Honor A. B. Graduate.
 In high school he developed lik- ing for Latin, Greek and football, and a strong dislike for the fairer sex Gin the latter however he has "re- formed.") In his early youth "Bish, y as he is universally known in Con- way, showed strong tendency for
 eing butter" He is said to have developed this tendency from play ing with his fathers sheep, goats and calves in their own style. In his bril- liant career as a football player he made constant and consistent use of this "butting" ability.
 As an athlete MT. Bishop was among the best. His name is always linked with those of Holmes, Harton, Charles and Staples. In football he was a line man, one of the best

 As Rhodes scholar we are coni- dent that the committee who chose him shall never rue their selection. We are also confident that he accept ed the scholarship with full realiza- tiOn of the ideals which Cecil Rhodes had when he founded it, and that he will use it as was intended by the founder.
 He expects to make the educational field his life's work and with his training in Economics and Sociology in Oxford we are sure he can come back to Arkansas where he has been educated and contribute to the edu- cation and youth of this state.
 Of course Hendrix feels proud and justly so, of this her son. We con- gratulate him and wish him success commensurate with his efforts and desserts.

PUT EMBARGO ON
 COTTON TOIfAST SHIPMENTS ARE BARRED
ACTION OF RAILROADS WILL AFFECT SALE OF COTTON
 AT CONWAY.

While the bulk of the cotton re- ceipts at Conway this year have al ready been sold, and the matter of transportation will be problem for the factors to solve, the sale of sev- eral thousand bales in this county will probably be seriously affected by an embargo against shipments to the east, put into effect by three Arkan- sas railroads at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 w. B. Stark, buyer for Frauenthal & Schwarz, was in Little Rock yes terday and sold $50 bales shortly be- fore the embargo was announced. He says he would have been unable to make the sale if the embargo had been in force.
 Cotton factors were advised that the embargo did not affect other states. Railroad men know nothing of the extent of the embargo outside the state. The reason given is that all sidings and available tracks of railroads operating in the New Eng land states are jammed with cars loaded with freight for export. The embargo, it is said, affects all ship ments but those Of perishable goods.
 Announcement of the embargo ere ated excitement among Little Rock cotton men, although the market had closed for the day Buyers immedi- ately took action to fight the ruling Twenty buyers who had met at the chamber of commerce to form the Lit tie Rock Cotton Exchange, named a

COUNCIL WILL CUT
 0Ff|CfRS' SALARIES MAYOR TO GET NO PAY
MARSHAL'S SALARY TO BE CUT FROM $50 TO $5, ALDERMEN
 DECIDE.
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
 Salaries for all city officers will practically be eliminated after next April if an ordinance agreed upon at an informal meeting of the Conway city council last night is passed by that body. No regular session of the council was held, but Mayor Jones and four of the aldermen spent about two hours in an informal discussion of several important measures which will be brought up at the next regu- lar meeting, and unanimous decisions were reached upon each proposition, insuring the passage of the ordinan- Ices, 1t is said.
 It was agreed entirely to eliminate the salaries of the mayor and the treasurer. The mayor now receives S2O per month and the treasurer $50 per year. The mayor, however, will be granted a contingent fund of about S1O0 or S15O per year upon which he may draw for necessary ex- penses in his office and for cases of charity which cannot otherwise be aided. The mayor will also continue to receive the legal fees for the trial of cases coming before his court.
 The marshals salary is to be re- duced from $50 to S5 per month, in addition to his legal fees. The posi- tion of street commissioner, however, will be established at a salary of S45 per month, and the next council will have the option if it so desires of electing the marshal to this position, giving him the same salary as at present.
 No change viii be made in the sal ary of recorder, which will remain at $10 per month. It was agreed that lcity bookkeeper or accountant should be employed jointly by the city and municipal light and water plants and the duties of this accountant would also include the collection of bills for water and light service, city li- censes, etc. For this position and of flee rent, S6O per month will be paid, Ione-fourth out of the city general funds and the balance out of the wa ter and light funds. It is believed that this will result in much greater efficiency in the city's finances and will also give the superintendent of the city plants more time for admin istrative duties. The superintendent will also be appointed plumbing in- spector at no increase in salary, and the fees for this service heretofore go- ing to the inspector will be paid into the city treasury.
 The aldermen will continue to re- ceive no salaries.
 1 The matter of refund for tax payers in street improvement dis tricts 2, 3, 4 and was also discussed and it was practically agreed that 20 per cent of the total assessed benefits in each district should be refunded out of the city treasury, payable in | 10 equal annual installments. The total benefits in the four districts is $66,442 25. This will mean that the city will refund to the owners of property in the four districts a total of $13,2SS.45, or $1,32S.S4 per year, and will be equivalent to the city re- paying one-ffth of the total con- struction ana interest cost in each district.
