Box Supper is Loyal
 Plan of Local s. l. A

Manifesting an interest which is commendable from every standpoint of progress. the School Improvement Association has been busy for some time at devising plans for the general improvement of the local school equipment, their ideas maturing this week into a strongly united plan to hold an old time box supper at the auditorium Friday night. April 2lst, the proceeds of which will be used to the best advantage. The initial purpose for the supper will be to get funds at command sufficient to offset an outlay demanded by the needed purchase of window shades for the better equipment of the school auditorium. There is at present keen want for this equipment, but owing to the fact that the school term will soon come to a close the board does not feel hardly warranted in making the expenditure when the money necessary might be used to better advantage.
 In view of this the School Im- provement Association has rallied to their assistance and are going to make practicable all possible improvements for the comfort and good of the many children who attend the local schools. The s. l. A. organization is re- ceiving the support of the loyal citizens of the city and hope to accomplish much toward the inn provement schemes they have advanced.
 In conversation with John E.. Bryan, cashier of the Arkansas Valley Bank and president of the local school board, MT. Bryan stated to a Spectator representa- tive that he heartily indorsed the action of the association and would lend every encouragement possible. He also stated that he was confident that the school board would stand back of them in their every action toward the improvement and betterment of the schools. Mir. Bryan was loud in the praise for the good work already accomplished by this organization. Mrs. F. P. Nichols is president of the local School Improvement Association.
