P. C. HOLDEN IS SPEAKER

pert Outlines Plans For Teaching
Practical Farming in City and
Rural Schools.

Little Rock
The annual meeting of the Arkan'
Ras State Teachers Association, which
opened with sectional meetings n
various public buildings of Little
Rock, brought more than 5000 teach
ers to the city, and every hotel and
rooming house in the city was packed
to its capacity.
Features Of the opening sessions
were the address of J. y. Joyncr
state superintendent of schools of
North Carolina, before the meeting of
the high school and college section,
which was held in the auditorium #
the Hotel Marion and the address Of
P. G. Holden Of Chicago, in charge
Of the extension work of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company and one Of
the foremost agricultural experts IN
the country, before the meeting OF the
county superintendents and oXamin-
ers at the new state capitol.
"The Adaptation of the Work of the
Schools to Meet the Needs of the Peo-
pie" was the subject which was
chosen by Prof Joyner for his lecture
at the Hotel Marion. He pointed out
the many deficiencies in the teaching
of today and showed that it was nee
Cssary for the teachers to study the
community and the exact need Of the
student before the schools could be
made the most useful.
"The whole idea Of universal eduCa-
tion has been changed" declared the
professor THE old idea was that the
same thought was used for all stu
dents, bat the new idea is that we
must have all sorts OF education for
all sorts of people. With a democrat
ic government we must have demo-
cratic schools and democratic courses
must be taught"
Plans for the teaching Of practical
farming in both the rural and urban
schools were outlined by p e. Holden
at the meeting OF the county super
intcndents and examiners at the new
state capitol. He told Of the system
that was used in Cook County, Hi
nois, where he worked for several
years, and showed the remarkable re-
suits that have been obtained by the
teachings Of the various schools. His
talk was illustrated by charts.
Throughout his address Mr. Holden
emphasized the need of diversified
tion and showed the results that
should be obtained by the campaigns
which have been conducted through.

7 TOME, hope and money gone.

II A loving husband and little
daughter tearfully waiting for
the dread summons which would take
away wife and mother.
That, in brief, describes the scene
enacted one October day, year ago,
when f. o. Wilson and his little
daughter sat in darkened room await
ing the end they thought near.
This chapter in the story of the Will
son family is one of sorrow and
suffering, pathos and human interest.
II is one which touched the hearts of
friends and caused them to pour out
sympathy to sOrrowing husband.
Five years ago f. o. Wilson, his wife
and child were happy family. They
moved to Atlanta from Abbeville, S. c.,
so Mr.. Wilson could accept a position
on newspaper.
Mr.. Wilson prospered and the family
moved into little home of their own.
Mrs. Wilson took an interest in
church work and in the WOman's Aux
iliary of the Typographical union. Her
future looked bright.
1t was in the early part of 1913 that
the blow fell. But let Mr.. Wilson
tell the story. He can do 1t better, be-
cause every detail is indelibly stamped
upon his memory.
Mr.. Wilson's Story.

lVl live at 1877 Bass street, Allan

old daughter. l have been a printer

ut Is with a sense of gratitude for
being permitted to have with me today
my dear wife that l am voluntarily
making this statement. want every
body interested to know that it comes
from the bottom Of my heart.
During the spring OF 1918 when I
thought that nothing could impair my
happiness, the blow fell. My wife, un-
til that. time healthy and strong, was
stricken with illness. She was weak
and nervous and at times had dread
full smothering sensations to the point
of fainting. She would have fearful
headaches, pains in her back and over
her kidneys and her joints ached all
the time. She got so bad off that she
couldn't do her housework and had to
take to her bed. She didn't know what
it was to get good nights sleep.
II called q doctor who treated her
eight weeks and she showed no I'M
provement. / took the advice Of an
other doctor and my wife was operated
upon twice and spent II weeks in two
hospitals with several weeks of nursing
at home between operations.
"She got weaker and weaker. I was
desperate. My savings were gone. l
was in debt. So sacrificed my home.
Driven frantic by my thoughts, /

This was along in October, 1915. My
wife was a shadow Of her former self.
They told me she could not possibly
live more than five days.
"The five days passed and although
she still lived she grew weaker and
weaker and finally I was told she
would die within the next few days,
