1uartered on the property
 We find that the building now used as the main building is we'll construct
 ed and cost about $50,00O and is in most excellent condition, consider ing it's nine years of service, but we lalso find that it is utterly inadeuuate for present needs The library seats only 50, but should seat at least 200. The auditorium seats only 180, but should seat four times that many. We flnd that class room is at a great premium and that the training school department must be utilized for over flow classes and that other rooms in the main building are taxed in some instances far beyond their normal ca pacity; that some classes must shift from room to room and that the in- stitution faces a necessity for the in- troduction of new courses and new de- partments and other additions to the work offered, which with the expected increase in enrolment will soon ren- der the conditions hurtful to the cause of the institution unless more room is obtained There is more than 40 per cent increase in the enrolment since the last appropriation. The school has increased over 800 per cent since it's first years enrolment, eight years ago. It is easily seen that before an- other legislature meets the efficiency of the institution will be seriously inn paired unless greater accommodations are provided
 We find that the instructor in edu- cation has under his personal charge over 300 students, and that it is inn possible to classify these so that the work can be done to the best advan- tage under only one instructor. We find that the training school super visor must overlook at the same time teaching being done in two rooms by students and must know the character of the work being done by each stu dent teacher, give them individual ir- struction and help when necessary and also give general instruction for the conduct of the work. We are of the opinion that the efficiency of this de- partment is and will be seriously i'm paired unless an additional supervisor is employed. We know of no other normal school in the United States | where this amount of work is attempt ed to be accomplished by only one su- pervisor. We find the instructor in l cooking and sewing is taxed to her utmost capacity and yet more than 100 young ladies are denied the ad- vantage offered by her department and that the employment of an addi- tional instructor in this department is l imperative. Your committee knows of | not other normal school in the United ] States having no manual training de- partment, and We believe that the es- tablishment of such department is essential to the true purposes of the institution and that provision should be made for the same and compe- tent instructor be chosen for the work.
 Recommendation.
 In keeping with the facts above presented we recommend:
 1. That an additional teacher of education be employed.
 ?. That an additional supervisor be employed in the training school.
 8. That an additional instructor be employed in the department of cook ing and sewing.
 4. That a department of manual training be established and compe- tent head be employed to carry on

SENATE DEFEATS
 GOVERNORS BILL
FOR BOARD OF CHARITIES
Administration Measure Indefinitely POstpOned-Ruf Educational Bill
 Goes to Defeat.
Special 10 the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special 10 the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, Feb. 2.-The senate today by vote of IS to l4 indefinite ly postponed the Collier-Hardage bill abolishing the state board of con- trol of charitable institutions and establishing an honorary board of seven members, which passed the house almost unanimously yesterday. The senate would not permit the bill to be read the second time, the mo- tion to indefinitely postpone being offered as soon as the bill was read.
 With only five dissenting votes the house passed the measure yesterday afternoon, following the receipt of a special message from Governor Brough urging it's passage. The joint house and senate committee had re- ported the bill with an almost unani- nous recommendation against it. Thursday afternoon the senate started in on the Utley compulsory education bill, which had opened a floodgate of oratory in the forenoon, but before it proceeded very far it was demonstrated that the section which requires the directors to haul to school all pupils living two miles or more from the school was going to deprive many children of an edu- cation, for in many districts the schools have not sufficient revenue to operate a full term, and it would be impossible for them to supply and operate a conveyance to bring chil- dren to school. Senator Utley re- alized this as much as any one, and consented that the bill go back to its second reading for the amendment of the section.
 Even though the education com mittee had reported adversely upon his bill to provide a board of control for the state educational institutions, Senator Ruff called it up and for an hour or more told what it would save the state in the course of year, in having men always on the job, and men fully equipped to handle the financial affairs of the institutions. Senator Ruff was the author of the board of control bill for the state elemosynary institutions, and he pointed with pride to the record made by it. Senator Edmondson supported Senator Ruff in his argument, but Senator Caldwell grew quite eloquent in his oration against the measure. The roll was called and Senators Ruff and Edmondson drew Senator Rogers to their support, but all others voted against the bill, which lost by vote of 29 to 3.
 Gov. C. H. Brough sent a special message to the senate asking that it pass the Duty bill appropriating a sum of money to pay the deficit of the Arkansas -Panama-P Pacific h. ternational Exposition Commission.
 The senate committee on corpo- rations demonstrated that it believes in the independence of the cotton gins of the state, by giving favorable report on the Ward bill prohibiting cotton seed crushing corporations from owning an interest in gins, or in selling bagging or ties.
 Senator Jones of Pulaski county in- troduced a bill in the senate on Thursday afternoon, for the working of all surplus white convicts in the state penitentiary, on the public high ways.

AUTO THIEF GETS AWAY

Atlanta, Ga, November 22-An or
binary case knife, pair of ply
sician's scissors and an iron bar were
the instruments used by r. G. Jester,
indicted for automobile stealing, to
bore his way through fourteen-inch
wall in the Atlanta police station,
where they missed him yesterday
morning
If lester is as clever at making a
getaway with an automobile as he
is in making his getaway from a pris-
on cell, every owner of machine in
this entire section had better lock his
car when he leaves it, for Jester is a
regular star at this sort OF work,
The police call him king of the
auto thieves" and say he is wanted
in a number of southern cities, in
GLIDING Louisville on the north and
Jacksonville on the south.
