My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
You viii be gratifed. | feel sure,
by the announcement I made today Of
our having designated Battleship No.

state. New Mexico, quite singularly,
is the only state in the union for
which neither a b%attleship nor arm

named. Your letter Of the 18th, re-
ceiyed yesterday afternoon, impressed
me with the splendid progress the
Of New Mexico is making, show
ing that Dreadnaught No. 40 viii bear
the name of a progressive and grow
ing commonwealth. That the NEW
MEXICO will be a credit to the state,
every citizen may rest assured. She
is a sister ship Of the Idaho and the
Mississippi, the two other dread
naughts which were authorized in
June, 1914, by the 63rd congress. All
three vessels will be $4,000 tons in
displacement, the largest war YES
sells either completed or projected by
any nation in the world. Each will
mount twelve 14-in. so caliber guns,
he type which ordnance experts
consider the most satisfactory in any
country. The NEW MEXICO, how
sver, which is under construction at
he Brooklyn navy yard, differs from
Ter sister ships An that, while they
will be driven by turbine engines, she
will be the first battleship in the
World to be propelled by electricity
type of motor power which our en-
.ineering experts consider superior
o all others. The vessel is already
n an advanced state Of completion.
The officials of the New York navy

While Coach Headrick appar- ently has little hopes of defeating Me Councils Porkers, still he is not ex- pecting the Fayetteville lads to pile up such large score. The players seem confident of this. And it wouldn't surprise them if they tilted the lid trifle and crossed the Razor backs goal, This is all they want.
 The Bulldogs will line up as fol-

The next step in this survey will be to ask each man or woman repre- sented, or an unselcted list of them, list of questions designed to show the relation of school preparation to success in after life. From the ans wers thus obtained, the superintend- ent will endeavor to reconstruct the courst of study so as to meet as far as possible the demands of the pat ronizing public and the aims and purposes of the student body. He earnestly desires the cooperation of every one who may be approached by those who are to make the canvass. The matter is no joke. It is not an idle dream. It is an earnest effort to get at the real needs of the com munity and to make the school serve those needs.

SURVEYS CONWAY
 VOCATIONAL LIFE
REPORT BY SUPT. WOMACk
Teachers Lead All Other Classes Only Seven High School Girls
 Confess Intent to Wed.

As part of his thesis for mas
 ter's degree in Peabody College for | Teachers Supt. J. F. Womack has
 for several months been at work on vocational survey of the school dis trict of Conway. In connection with
 the regular enumeration of the per
 sons of school age in this city last summer, Prof. Womack also obtained census of all persons who support
 themselves by work of any charac- ter. Many interesting facts are con-
 tained in the first portion of his re- port, which follows:
 With view to determining the
 needs of the children of Conway and
 the efficiency of the public school as
 means of satisfying those needs, the superintendent of schools recent
 y caused survey of the town to be
 made. An effort was made to list every adult in town-or rather in the
 school district-who supports him self All adult men were listed, and all women known to be self support ing. He does not claim to have found
 every one, but he is sure that he has the name of almost every one. His next step was to list the pu- pills of the high school grades with view to determining what each pu- pl is planning or preparing to be.
 Finally he reduced the number al ready engaged in each vocation, and the pupils who expect to take up those vacations later, to the basis of so many in thousand. There are not thousand of any class of work men, but this basis is more accurate than that of hundred, or the per centage basis. The only important thing to know about the doctors is not how many there are but what proportion of the men are doctors, or what proportion of the pupils ex- pect to be doctors.
 Here is the point If a large per cent of our boys and girls expect to make their living on the farm, then the school should make special pro- vision for training pupils for farm life. If large number expect to be stenographers, then the school should teach short hand. Get the point?
 Some strange results appear in the figures. There are more teachers in Conway than any other class of workers, and more pupils are plan ming to teach than to do anything else. There are more farmers in Conway than merchants, and yet only eight of the l76 high school pupils expect to be farmers. The second largest class of workers in town is salesmen, but not pupil expects to be a salesman. There are 33 carpen- ters in Conway, but not boy ex- poets to be a carpenter. Twenty three women keep boarders, but not a girl expects to keep boarders. And although we have nearly eighty girls taking work in the department of domestic science and domestic art, not girl intends to sew for a living. Strangest of all, only seven girls in all the high school confess to pur- pose to marry and manage a home.
 But let the figures speak for them selves. The first column of figures tells how many citizens in a thous- and are engaged in the vocation named to the left, while the right hand column gives the number in a thousand of pupils who have ex- pressed purpose or wish to enter that vocation.
