 "No only has the individual ctzenry of the country made remarkable response to the registration cal but the states through their official heads have indicated such zeal that there is great rivalry among some of the commonweaths for the honor of making the first com plete registration returns.
 Many questions asked daily at the War De- partment concerning the registration of travelling men and other absentees On the sixth day after the date of the Presidents proclamation anyone subject to regis raon who expects to be absent from his home on regis taon day should go to the clerk of the county where he may be staying If he is in city of more than 3O, OOO population the city clerk is the official to whom to apply The absentee will be told how to register and registration card will be filled out This card must be mailed by the absentee to reach the registrar of his home precinct by registration day. The clerk to whom the absentee applies is not empowered to issue the ab- sentee registration certificate. This is issued by the registrar in his home precinct.
 Persons too sick to present themselves for regstra ton must send competent person to the county or city clerk the sixth day after the date of the Presidents proclamation The clerk will give instructions for reg stratOn." s~.z

WAR DEPARTMENT EXPLAINS HOW REGISTRA-
 TON OF MEN FOR SERVICE WILL BE BE MADE

Washington, May 15.-The War Department today made the following announcements regarding the regis ration of citizens liable to draft:
 ''The War Department wishes to impress upon the people that there is only day for registration All males between the designated ages must register on the day set The fact that five days allowed for the placing of the necessary blank forms in the hands of strars appears to have misled headline writers. One day ony-the day fixed in the Presidents procla naton-wll be devoted to registration.
 'The War Department is gratified by the spontane- offers of mcompensated assistance in carrying out she work of registration.
 "One father in offering to serve registrar writes: II have two in the guard and one in the regular army but want to do my little bit This is typi cal of hundreds of letters All such offers properly should be made to the governors who the heads of the registration machinery of their respective states.
 'It should be clearly understood that male resi- dent of the United States between the designated excused from registration unless he is already in the military or naval service of the United States that s member of the regular army navy, the marine corps coast guard service that part of the national guard now actually in the federal service Registration is dis tnct from seecve service Registration is necessary preliminary to the later process of selection.
 Tt is useless to ask registrars to excuse anyone from registration The registrar has such powers. No one can suspend the law requiring all to regiter.
 Tt is important that all shall understand the sgnifi of registration and it is hoped that the day will be approached in the spirit with which the government has

Annual School Election.

The annual school election will be held next Saturday. Three i'm portant matters are decided at this election: The people of Arkansas vote the revenue for maintaining their public school for the year; they elect directors who have charge of the financial side of their lschool system; and at this election they may choose county superin- tendent to have supervision over the professional side of public edu cation.
 First, the people Of each dis trict vote on themselves the rate of taxes they will pay to maintain their local school. They may now vote any rate from one mill to twelve mills for the support of their schools.
 In many districts five mills will be sufficient In some seven mills will be required In Paragould the sull limit of twelve mills is needed to meet outstanding obligations, ad ditional buildings, and teachers sal aries, and furniture required by the increase in school population and attendance caused by the new compulsory act passed by the late only by the exercise Of the strictest economy on the part of our board of education to maintain school the past term. The law requires school boards to provide ample accOmmo- dations for all children Of school age, and after constructing an eight-room building in South Para gould. three rooms to the East Side school house and paying for the | furniture and new teachers neces- sary 10 equip these schools, the members of the board of education declare a twelve mills tax absolute ly necessary if we are to maintain q term, of school.
 In the common districts one or
 two directors are chosen, and in special and consolidated districts two or more directors are elected.
 Here in Paragould the terms of Di-
 rectors Light and Emmons of the Third ward expire. No one else has been mentioned for the positions of these gentlemen, and they will be reelected without op- position. The question of county supervis- ion of schools will be submitted to a vote of the people of Greene county at the election Saturday. This fact was not included in the notices of the school election, post ed by directors, because the law requires a vote on the question ev-
 ,ry two years, and the notice is stat utory and does not need to be given
 in the notice posted by directors.
 All other states of the union. and every city in the civilized world
 have school superintendents, and twenty-four of the counties of Arkansas have county supervision. | These are the white, intelligent counties of thes state, and their schools are making wonderful pro gress under the change from exam
 incr ot superintendent. Greene county cannot afford to be behind
 in anything that affords better edu- cation for our children. It is ardently hoped that Greene county
 will give supervision trial, and
 when this is done, new life and in spiration will be put into the pub
 lie schools of our county.
