THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL AT
 CONWAY
Conway, Ark. April "A, 1916. The Tribune:

SOllWdy, AIk., ,ApIll A, IJIO- The Tribune:
 As 1 promised to tell the people of Carroll county some thing of the State Normal School, 1 wish to do so through the columns of your paper. Carroll county is allowed, by the provision of the law which created the school, to send to the Normal School seven students each year, free of tu- ition. and l am the only one from that country attending this year.
 This School is located at Con- way, thirty miles northwest of the State Capitol. Conway has al- most all of the conveniences of a modern city, is noted for it's healthfulness and is above tn e average in culture and refine ment.
 This school is designed especial ly for training teachers and we know that there is a growing demand for teachers who make a study cf methods of instruc- tion and of discipline, and who feel the need of genuine prep eration before entering the pro- fession.
 1 sincerely wish that every teacher in Carroll county could take one term at least in this or some other normal school or department. 1 believe con- scientious teachers should not be satisfied until they secure better training. A term at the State Normal certainly would be a revelation to one who looks upon his position nst ,fe 'se9ne one of .gravs' trust and greT4slSAn ,4~ead9SSYv
 The teachers are Weshat fI. a and are specialists in their WpJK The equipment of each deSart- ment is especially adopted to the needs of the stude,ts. The library is stocked with we'll se- lected books, which the students not only are allowed to read but are requested to read and are assigned lessons in them for reference work. Also there are to be found at all times many of the leading magazines. In connection with it is a reading room that is kept open all day, Saturdays included, for the con- venience of the students.
 The model school for the train ing of students in active school work IS perhaps the leading feature of this institution. Here are classes in all of the common school grades Gin all about seventy-five pupils) with a we'll trained critic teacher in charge. Student teachers taking course here are allowed to do practice teaching or observe others teaching in those rooms. All seniors are requested to do daily teaching under the supervision of the critic teacher for stipu- lated time before they are grant ed a diploma.
 The school year is divided in- to three months each. Work can be taken up at the beginning of any of these terms, but it is better to enter at the first of the school year, in September. In addition to this regular ses- sion a summer term is conduct ed which extends over a period of eight weeks, June 5 to July 28 inclusive.
 The students are friendly and soclable. There is practically no class distinction and only a friendly rivalry exists among the literary society. It IS not a school of aristocrats. Most of the students are here because they want to be something and do Co,1,nt h h;,,1. n, I; ;fo anJ m, f. z, ,,x,

 "The second is Tenacity of purpose, the capacity to adhere to a view once adopted, or a de- cision once taken. Whoever wanting this, lets himself be blown about by every wind of doctorine or every pressure of menace or persuasion, may be a very acute man or a very adroit man, but will never impress himself on others as a person to s.% s% followed.
 ''The third element is a sound Judgment, fit to forecast the results of action. Few people con look beyond the next move on the chess board, and the man who sees several moves ahead, and whose forecast is usually verified by the event, soon grows to be the man whose ad- vice is sought and taken. His neighbors seek it. Any assem- ply where he finds himself, from a town meeting or local school committee up to a legislature, gladly listens to his counsels.
 ''Fhe last is Sympathy-that is, possession of a capacity for entering into the thoughts of others and of evoking their feel ings by showing that he can share them. The power of sympathy is so far an affair of the emotions that it may eX- ist in persons of no exceptional abilities. Yet it is a precious gift, which often palliates errors and wins effection in spite of faults and weaknesses. It is key to unlock mems hearts. "- Clarence Poe, in The Progressive Farmer.

DENY GERMAN VERSION
Arabia Not in British Service When
Sunk, U. S. Is Informed.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Contradict-
ing Germany's contentious that the
steamer Arabia was a British trans
port, the British government has in
formed the state department the Ara
bia was not in admiralty service when
she was summarized nor had she ever
been in such service.
Great Britain did say, however, that
the Arabia carried some governme
passengers ''booked as ordinary packet
passengers at the expense of the gov
ernment."
There were no Asiatic soldiers
aboard, the note said.
Germany had admitted sinking the
ship. She claimed there were Asiatic
workmen-soldiers aboard and said her
submarine commander believed the
ship was a transport in view of the
fact that she was not following the
ordinary steamer course.
The state department had awaited
this word before deciding its course
toward Germany in pending submarine
matters.
Secretary Lansing indicated he is
undecided about passing along the
"incon plete information to Germany,
and it Is thought he will wait for the
figures of Great Britain before decid-
ing upon action.

BRITISH GUESS AGAIN
Ranting Over Wilson Note Greatly
Modified Today.

London. Dec. 26.-British hostility
toward President Wilson appeared to
have been considerably modified to-
DAY The change was attributable to
the latest interpretations of the mo-
tive which impelled dispatch of the
American peace note. London now
regards it as having been sent with
the main purpose of forcing Germany
to state her peace terms and to carry
the Implication that unless these
terms are "satisfa ctory," America may
enter the war on the side of the allies
There was. however, considera BILE
continued criticism of what was term
ed the presidents -obscurity and in
felicity of language and his apparent
reversal Of principles since May 27
when he stated that America was not
concerned with the causes and objects
OF the war
The declaration in the Swiss state
ment that the Swiss government was
in touch with President Wilson five
weeks ago" was regarded as conclu-
sively disproving the almost universal
initial belief that the American prof
fer was mere appendix to the Ger
man peace note.

IT'S HIS LAST CHANCE
If Carranza Doesn't Accept Protocol,
Peace Conference Will End.

Washington. Dec. 26.-Settlement of
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States by peaceful means de-
pends upon what answer Carranza
gives officials on the last chance to
be given him by the American-Mex-
icau peace commission, to sign the
troop withdrawal protocol.
Official announcement was made to-
day that this government expects to
hear from the first chief today as to
whether he agrees to the troop with
drawal terms Difficulties in trans
mission may delay the answer until
tomorrow but this government does
not purpose to negotiate with Car
rama further on this point.
If Carranza does not sign. it is
stipulated, the commission sessions
will end.
This will leave the situation as it
was before the commission convened
at New London in the early fall. 1t

part Of this government in dealing

children.

ton for schools but not for admins
