Conferrees Reach
Agreement on
Press Gag Bill
House Opponents Of Cen
sorship Section Expect
to Send 1t Back
TFrpn Tho Tribune Bu~sgl

From Tho Tribune Bureau
Washington, May 2s.-Final agree
ment on the espionage bill, including
the press and free speech gag section,
was reached by the conferrees OF the
House and Senate late to-day. Under
the existing parliamentary situation
the report must first be made to the
House, and this will probably be done
tomorrow. Unless unanimous consent
can be obtained for immediate con-
sideration, which, in view of the oppo-
sition 10 the measure, is not likely, the
report will then lie over for a day.
Opponents of censorship are quite
confident that they will muster a ma
jority in favor Of sending the bill back
to conference, with Instructions to the
conferrees to eliminate the press gag
section. The House Republicans in
caucus have taken a stand against II,
and while there are a few wavering
members whose objections the confer
rees sought to meet by repeated
changes in the text, there are enough
Dem ocrats, it is believed, who are op-
posed to censorship TO more than off,
set them. Several prominent Demo
cratic leaders have been working quiet
ly against the Administrator cher
ished plan to suppress news by law,
and It is said their work has been eff
fective.
Even if the House should approve
the censorship section, however, there
is no disposition in the Senate to ac-
cept it. The majority Of fourteen by
which the Senate struck out a milder
gag section than the one in the con-
ference report will be augmented, il
is confidently predicted, should q vote
come on accepting the new section.

not wavered in a single instance since
the Congress declared that a state
of war exists between the United

Der of citizens of Webster county,

How to make the most of leftover
food is otter a puzzling matter to the
housewife who is straining every eff
fort now to avoid waste in the kitch-
en-, and yet every bit of leftover food
has its use. even the meat bones.
These can be cooked up slowly to-
gether with scraps of leftover meat
and a little bunch of soup greens.
Then add carrots, potatoes and what
ever bits of vegetables may be on
hand. Season with pepper and salt
and you have a good soup. If the
bones and trimmings are cut from a
steak before broiling they can be used
for soup. Rice, barley or noodles are
| good additions to meat soups. Re-
quest your butcher to send you the
bones from the rib roast which he
cuts out after weighing-those make
good soup.
Leftover Fish.-Break cold fish

tween the peas and lettuce.
Fried Spinach.-Cold spinach can
be thoroughly mixed with the poached
or boiled eggs that are left, sprinkled
with pepper and fried in hot drip
pings.
Potatoes.-Put cold mashed pota-
toes, mound shaped, into baking dish

elementary grades. The private
schools are almost entirely supported
by denominations. Only 10 OF tne ~
schools are classified as having an
important part in the educational ac-
t~ivities of the State. 1t is pointed
out that some of the remaining
schools may be justified on denoml-
national grounds, but the majority
are so hampered by small income OF
poor management that the State re-
~ceives but little benefit from them.
One of the most urgent needs OF
the colored schools in Arkansas Is
trained teachers. The report declares:
'The supply now depends almost en-
tirely upon the secondary schools,
many of which are private lnstltu-
tions. Of the private schools, now
ever, only four offer even fair pre-
paration for teaching. while two 9TH
ers do some teacher-training work.
To supplement these facilities, an Ell
fort is now being made to develop
county training schools. These schools
are county centers at which some
secondary and industrial training
NAV be given to those who plan to
teach in rural sections. Through the
cooperation of the Slater Fund n
the General Eduation Board with the
State department of education, four
of these institutions are now main
tanned. As yet, however, their work
is almost entirely of elementary
grade. They have probably been more
successful in Arkansas than else
where because Of their location in
small towns rather than in remote
rural districts. The small town has
made possible the combination OF ru-
raj interests with the larger school
income, better travelling facilities.
and more boarding Accommodations for
pupils from a distance. The pupils
in the graduating classes of all the
schools offering Understanding sub-
jects in 1915 numbered only 125, how
ever. an annual output obviously in
adequate to meet the need for teach
ers in a State with over 100000 col
ored people and 1000 colored public
school teachers"
The report summarizes the educa-
tional needs for the schools of Ar
kansas as follows:
1. The strengthening and extern
sion of the elementary school system.
The only agencies able to supply this
need are the State, the county, and
the local public schol districts.
2. The increase of teacher-train-
ing facilities. To this end secondary
schools with teacher-training courses
should be provided, more summer
schools and teachers Institutes should
be maintained, and the private schools
should cooperate with the State de-
partment of education by placing
more emphasis or teacher-training
courses in accordance with state
school so that it may supply; the need
for teachers of industry and agricul-
ture.
8. More provision for instruction
in gardening, household arts, and
simple industries. In developing this
work, counties should realize the pos
sibilities of the Jeanes Fund Indus
trial supervisors.
a. More instruction in agriculture
and in the problems of rural life, so
that teachers and leaders may be de-
veloped for a people 86.6 per cent
rural.
5. The increase in the number of
industrial nigh schools in towns.
