MEISENHEIMER- M'CAIN.

A pretty home wedding was solem-
nized in Searcy last evening at 1880
o'clock when Miss Anna Mccain, &C
complished daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
+. A. Mccain, was united in mar
riage to Prof. Denver Meisenheimer
principal of the Cotton Plant public
schools. The ceremony was said by
the Rev. H. Hanesworth, pastor OF
the Augusta M. f. church, and was
witnessed by immediate members OF
the family The bride is one of the
city's most amiable young ladies and
best known teachers. For the past
two years she has been employed as
instructor in the Cotton Plant schools
and it was here that the groom first
met his bride. They will commune
their duties in the schools there. I'M

young people departed at S:lo O'Clock

revenue right here in Conway as a
result of lowered assessments. SO
while expenses have been going up,
receipts have been going down.
1t needs no argument to convince
you that the only solution of the
problem is to get more money. True,
we might cut out grade or two of
the high school, but that would not
begin to solve the problem. Or, we
might shorten the school term two
or three months each year. But that
would deprive LOO children of need
ed schooling, destroy our system and
drive away our best teachers. For
teachers who are in demand will not
contract for short terms or work
without guarantee of payment. Or,
we might close the school for a year
and let revenues catch up. But so
many evils would follow that course
that we need not attempt to enumer-
ate them. WE MUST KEEP OUR
SCHOOLS GOING.
An idea of what subscription
school would mean to you as individ-
uals may be gained from a little cal
culation. Our school, as now con-
Quoted, costs SITS per pupil, not
counting the interest on Indebtedness,
insurance, repairs, etc. This is $1.97
per month for each pupil. Now null
tiply this amount by the number of
children you wish to have in school
and you can see where you would
come out Now how many of you are
getting out on less than that by
means of the unsupported school?
AS a matter of fact, very few par
ents pay anything like the cost OF
educating their own children.
Finally it is proposed to supple
ment the school tax by voluntary do
nations. Another plan is to ask the
patrons and tax payers pay twelve
mill school tax instead of seven mills
as we have been doing. This seems
fair to all, since it equalizes the bur-
den. OF course such tax can be
only voluntary. 1t cannot be collect
ed if you refuse to assume it.
If we can lay and collect a twelve
mill tax, we should increase our rev.
enue by $4,000 year. Such an in
crease would soon wipe out our in
debtedness and also give us the in
creased teaching force we so much
need This plan is being used with
good results in other towns. Benton
vile, for example, is collecting a
fourteen tax.
What would such additional tax
cost you? Well, if your property is
assessed at $1,000, your additional
tax would be $500; if $500, it would
be $3.50; if $3.50, it would be $l.25,
etc. Note how little that is in COM
parison with tuition fees.
But the schools of Conway and the
children of Conway belong to you.
We want you, then, as patrons and
taxpayers, to consider earnestly the
matter and the means proposed for
taking care of the education of your
children. Feeling that heart-to-
heart talk would be helpful to all con-
cerned, we are inviting you to meet
in the public school auditorium next
Thursday evening, January 6, to con-
slider the matter thoroughly. Do not
fail to come This meeting will set
tie, one way or another, the immedi-
ate future of the public schools, and

Deficit at end of present

OenclC at enu OF present
school year $40, 10000
So far, the banks have carried our
warrants, but with the outlook of an
increased deficit before them, they
have refused to carry any more until
a method has been devised of putting
the district upon sound financial
basis. And, since teachers cannot
work without pay, it must follow that
unless such method as the banks de-
mand is adopted at once, the schools
will have to close. This, in plain
terms, is the situation.
The causes of this situation are
many One is, that we have to pro
vide larger school plant and teach.
ing force than most towns of the
size of ours, because so many people
come here for no other purpose than
= get the benefit of our schools The
good name of our school is one means
of our undoing. And we are often
imposed upon by having to accommo-
date children who pay no taxes here
and are not enumerated here. Last
year, for example, we took care OF
SO children who brought not one cent
into our treasury. They come here
claim this as their home, use our
schools, then go away for the summer
without even being enumerated here
We are proud of our school plant,
and justly, we think; but it has cost
US heavily. However, we do not ex-
pect to have to add to it for some
ears. And we are most fortunate
in force of teachers such as ours.
But staff of Is teachers calls for
a large monthly payroll. Even IS is
not enough. Right now the schools
are suffering for more teachers.
There is not a vacant seat in either
school, and in all the grades of both
schools there is daily attendance of
60 or more children, which is at least
20 more than a teacher is supposed
to handle.
Nor can it be claimed that our
teachers are extravagantly paid. In
the white school at least, there is not
a teacher on the payroll who could
not get more money elsewhere. They
stay here simply because they live
here or like to teach here
Another cause of our trouble is
that, under a recent decision of the
supreme court we have lost the state
aid that we used to get. This
amounted to some hundreds of dollars
year.
But the great, overwhelming cause
is yet to name. While our schools
have been strained to the utmost to
meet increased demands, the revenue
of the district has been falling off.
This year we lose $1,400 of school
