PARlETTE INTERESTS BIG LYCEUM AUDIENCE Humorist's Lecture, Opening Local Course, is Enjoyed by Crowd
 Numbering 75O.

With rare sense of humor, Ralph Parlette, featuring at the high school auditorium last night on "The Uni versity of Hard Knocks" kept his 750 hearers in a state of constant at tentiveness. Every word uttered by the speaker was heard by every one in the audience, and every word car ried weight. There was no listless- ness as is sometimes displayed at a lecture.
 MT. Parlette opened his remarks by complimenting the people of Con- way upon securing this seasons ly- ceum course, which he said is one of the best obtainable. The course is going to be great feast, he said. The speaker offered a prize to the students of the four schools of Con- way for the best account of his lec- ture. He did this, he said, as an in- ducement to teach them to listen we'll to all that is said.
 The address was one of the most masterful ever heard here. "The University of Hard Knocks," which is life itself, is filled with bumps" " the speaker said, and the one who is bumped" the most is the most suc- cessful in life. Life is school MT. Parlette declared, with yells and colors, just like any other school. Its yell is 'Oooch,' and it's colors are black and blue. Knocks and bumps help us to grow, and the more we get the bigger we grow. By grow ing big we are able to help our fel- low man, which is service, the basic principle of life"
 The next number on the course will be presented Monday night at Gen. tral College, the attraction being the Dekoven Quartet. Season tickets for the remaining numbers will be on sale at $2.50.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.


 The following pupils have enter ed since last report: Bradley and May Henry, Virgie Thompson, Keith and Kyle Durham, Teddy and Aldo Bell, Bertha Simmons, Carry Denton, Elliott Johnson, Grace Clanton, John Durham, Hazel Carter. We have lost only two by removal-Ethel Mobbs and Herman Harrison This leaves our actual enrolment $50.
 The basket ball team has organ ized and is at work.
 Our ticket-selling team distin- guished itself Friday, selling twelve more tickets than any other team has ever done.
 Room XII has an excellent new map-a greatly needed addition to that room.
 Mrs. Afford, of Tyler, Texas, in company with her niece, Mrs. J. B.. Greeson, Jr., visited the school last week. She read in a Boston paper of our school bank and came to in vestigate. Although a resident of another state she knew more of our school than some of our own patrons.
 And that reminds us. Not long ago-in April, to be exact, the su- perintendent went to see sick pupil in town. The man of the house was not disposed to admit him until he told his business and who he was. "Are you one of the teachers?" he repeated, "well, you can come in then; l didn't know who you was" And that man has lived in Conway for years and is in business here.
 Bessie Powers has been out of school for some days on account of an indisposition. We hope to see her in school again soon.
 Ruth Guys condition is reported but little improved. She is having a long and serious illness.
 Some one has raised the question of where the Conway school got its new grading system. It did not get it from Hot Springs. Six years ago the superintendent learned it while a student in the Missouri University. It WIS an old system then but not in general use. Since then it has spread, until now it is used all over the country. The University of Ar kansas introduced it at the begin- ming of this year, so we are inform ed. At any rate, the system is in use there.
 A young man in the public school wants chance to earn some expense money. He says he can do anything to be done around a home-wash dishes, milk, care for stock, clean car, or anything else that people need to have done. He offers to work evenings, mornings and Satur days at ten cents an hour. Won't someone give him chance? He seems worthy.
 The superintendent has two girls on his list for similar places. One is about 16-a country girl who can come to school only by working her way wholly or in part. She is a good girl-we know her personally. She was heartbroken when she had to drop out for lack of money to con- tinue paying board.
 The other case is that of young woman. She attended Central some years ago. Since then she has been orphaned, and has a six year old brother to support and care for. She says she must prepare to teach as a means of self-support. She can pay
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-10-03

a part of her expenses, but wants a place where there are no small chil- dren if she can find such a place where she can pay as much as pos sible of her expenses. We hope someone will be able to use these young people and so help them to prepare themselves for their work in life.
