F. Bassett in | structor in civics at the Pine Bluff | High school, has begun a course of in- l strudtion for the senior class. that | they might learn exactly how elections are conducted and how the city gov, ernment is run.
 The senior class has 333 members, about two thirds of them being girls that is, young ladies. The senior class. it is generally understood is the stage at which girls cease to. be girls, and become young ladies.

 MT. Bassett started things off in the proper style. by appointing the cen- tral committee, of three members, Doc Mccain and Ruth Westall being the Democratic members and Harry Mcintyre being the member to repre- sent the Republican party. The com mittee has full control of all elections, and at the very first election. aeld yesterday, the committee found it necessary to exercise it's powers. to determined who had been elected mayor of the city.

STARTS DRIVE TO PROTECT
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AGAINST
C0NSCRIPTiON OF SCHOOL YOUTH
Bv Jesse S. Cottrell.

Washington, July With the gov
ernmenr making a drive for 10000
volunteers for the regular army ami
with the CONSUMPTION Of half MIL
lion of the male population between
the ages of q and 81, inclusive, to
start within two weeks, the bureau OF
education, headed by Dr.. P. P. ClaX-
ton. has started a drive to protect
the educational system Of the United
States from being undermined by the
drafts that will be made upon children
and the youth of school and college
age. DR.. ClaXton urges that the at
tendance laws in every state be es-
forced to the letter during the year
and that no exception be made. He
says that parents should be encour
aged to make all possible efforts to
keen their children in school and
should have public and private help
when they can not do so without 1t
Many young children will lack the
home care given them in times OF
peace, and there will be need of many
more kindergartens and Montessor
schools.
The only way that Dr.. Claxton sees
that this end can be attained is Dy
encouraging sentiment for keeping
the attendance up to the high stand
ard in schools and colleges. He IN
sists that it should be increased IN
the high schools and more boys and
: girls should be induced to remain u1-
til they complete their course owing
TO increased responsibilities that will
come to them after the war. In or
der to keep up the high school stand
, ard he urges the half-time attendance
a, law, according to Fitchburg, Clncln-
natl and Spartanburg, S. c., for as
large proportion Of pupils as possible
All laboratories and manual training
shops in high schools should be kep'
going. domestic science classes should
be kept up with attention given te
sewing for the Red Cross and charity
For all boys and girls who can not
! attend school in the daytime, night
schools should be opened and gen.
eral course taught as during the day
! time
A special appeal is made to the co..
1eoaS and universities, and the techni-
cal schools, to use every effort to In
crease the number of pupils with the
idea impressed that it is the duty ol
the student to repare himself to give
the best and fullest possible measure
of service to his country. With the
fraction of agricultural students, only
fraction more than one-tenth OF
ner cent of the total number of per-
sons engaged in agriculture, the I'M
, nortance of the work Of agricultural
Nools is urged, with an appeal to
technical schools to make every pre-
paration to induce students not OF
c-nscr:pt age to rem4ln in college the
coming fall.
