those in NoahE boat returned 10
ground. In latter days the Assyci ais
were ambitious to add it to their do
mains, and it was the scene Of many
battles.
In modern times is has been the
joining point Of the lines Of Persia,
Turkey and Russian territory. Ere
guent earthquakes are part Of tts
history and hundreds have been kill
cd by such disturbances.
The land lying in the region about
Mt Ararat is unusually fertile, and
thereh has been the source Of the
persecution Of the Armenians. Indus
trious an flclined to accumulate
they have constantly been tormented
robbed and ravished by the indolent
and unprincipled Turks.

REFERENDUM INVOKED TO
HELP POOR WHITE COUN-
TVS SCHOOL.
Election in November
Radical Change in Method Of
Distribution School Fund
Comes Before People.

JACKSON. Miss. OF a-Ths
following announcement is given ort
BY the State Department Of Educa-
ton:
Under the nits..ive clause Of the
constitution petition signed By
more than 5000 qualified electors
Of the state was filed some weeks
ago with the secretary Of state,
asking for a vote On the amend
ment OF section POO or the consti-
tuition, by adding to tre section the
following sentence: "But the State
legislature shall have authority to
make an additional appreciation
be disbursed BY the STATE Board Of
Education. in such a manner al to
equalize the public school terms
Throughout the State
The secretary Of State has no op-
ton in the matter, and 50 this amend
ment win come before the people
for rejection Or adoption at the re-
gular election or Nov. 4. The see
ton in question provides for the dis
tribution Of the public school fund.
The objection to the section as it
now stands is due to the fact that
under the present method q distri-
button some counties get enough
money from tie State to run their
public schools eight or nine moths
each wear. paying their 'eachers

counties ~ sac 5Tey 'Jre.
opIt 5ersiy 49,. -as a.houis three
four or five months IN the year,
paying maximum salaries. Conse-
queltly, many counties Of the state
have had to make large levies in
order 10 maintain even five, six
OF even months term.
Bond Prepares Petition.
The initiative petition was got
ten up by superintendent Bond and
his co-workers, who maintain that
the tate should do no more for one
child than il does for another in an
educational way. In other words.
the state should BE-. no respecter Of
childr,n when it comes % providing
the advantages Of a good school.
The Legislature tried to remedy the
inequality now existing in the dis
tribution Of public school funds in
1914, but the act Of carrying the
APPRECIATION was declared unconsti
tutional. If the proposed amendment
is adopted Is will enable the Legis-
lature to SO apporlkn the public
school fund that public school terms
financed by state money alone will
be Of equal length throughout the
state.
Many efforts have been made
during the last several years to
amend this section, but all have tall-
ed. because Of the difference Of op-
inion. and because Of the difficulty
Of amending the constitution BY
legislative action. Tbs is the first
time the people of the state have
ever had an oportunity Of voting on
the proposed amendment to this sec
tion, and it is Believed that the
measure will carry almost unani-
mously. The members Of the Stata
nepartmcnt Of Education are going
to devote practically the entire
month Of October to this PROPOSE
tion.
