The people of Fairbanks are very much interested in Nenana coal, ac- cording to Dr. J. R. Bowen, who returned today from the upper town after an absence of several days, during which time he distributed about ten tons of Ignite in order to demonstrate its burning qualities. The result, he says, was very grati- flying, and there will be no trouble at all for the Healy River Coal cor poration to place large quantities of the fuel in Fairbanks and on the nearby creeks as soon as. it is pos sible to make delivery.
 Dr. Bowen says that he was un- able to supply the demand for fuel during his stay in Fair banks. The shipment which he took with him was eagerly sought and quickly gone.

OPENS At THE DITMAS

A photoplay rich in humanness and
literally tight with suspense is SHOULD

THEDA BARA PLEASING BIG
CROWDS AT The CRESCENT

Theda Bara captured her audiences
completely yesterday at the Crescent

Belasco stage play which set the coun-
try talking some years ago.. The adap-

Charles J. Bradbin who also directed
the picture.
The story recalls that among the
British nobility it is. or was, consider

her heart good as gold, the son who
made her his wife was likly to be dis

In this fine picture Theda Bara has
accomplished the rare feat of playing
two strongly contrasting roles-that of
the young poverty stricken wife and
that of her twin sister, a courtesan
whose evil repute is the talk of Paris.
The two characters portrayed by Miss
Bara appear simultaneously on the
screen In one thrilling scene, where
the two women confront and denounce
each other.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS

Little Rock, Nov. 22.-The cam paign was started last week for the initiation of proposed. amendment to the constitution which has. for it's purpose the improvement of our educa- tional institutions. Amendment was endorsed by the recent convention Arkansas Educational Association, which was in many respects the most remarkable demonstration of state wide interest ever witnessed in Ar kansas. This amendment provides that there shall be three admnistra- tive and taxing units for school pur- poses-state, county and district. It provides that the General Assembly shall arrange for the maintenance of all the common schools of the state for a period of at least six months annually. The most striking change in the present law on the subject is that the limit is taken off the amount of taxes that may be leved by dis trict. It will be recalled that several years ago, five mills was the maxi mum. This was increased to seven then to twelve and now it is proposed that the limit be removed enti1
 and that each district be authorized to levy any amount that it may deem necessary.
 It is recognized by everybody that the schools of Arkansas never before faced so critical period in their ex- istence as they do now. The entire state has been aroused as never be- fore. Our public schools, from the State University down to the humble one room rural school, are threatened with disaster unless some means is found whereby they may be contin- ued. In many districts the patrons have been forced to resort to the sub tefuge of voluntary agreeing to an additional tax, in some districts, amounting to more than twenty mills. The Little Rock district is endeavor- ing to secure the consent Of the tax payers for tax of IS mills or mills above the maximum prescribed by law. It is realized that this is sub tefuge which should not be necessary and that the law should be sufficiently flexible to permit any district to carry out it's program without resort to per- sonal pledges of support. When con- ditions are such as now exist in cer- tain localities, that tuition fee of $1 to S10 per month must be charged the pupils of public school, it ceases to be free school and should be clas- sified among the educational institu- tions which charge tuition for all pu- pills. =
 Many schools, including some of the largest and most populace of the state, announce that they will be un- able to continue for the full term un- less they have relief. All costs of ad- ministration have been advanced and the largest item in the increase is that of the increase in salaries paid the teachers. This had to be done if the teachers were to be retained in the profession. Hundreds of the best teachers both men and women, have been deserting the schoolroom for oth- CT vacations, because teaching offered
The Carlisle independent., 1920-11-25

less compensation for effort and time expended than almost any other call ing. 1t has not however been wholly question of salary with the teachers, for the true teacher is devoted to the ministry of the school room and many of them prefer to follow the profes- sion rather than to go into another which offers greater emoluments.
 But, the public itself has awakened to sense of the injustice which has been shown the teaching profession and thousands of our most prominent citizens are joining in the movement which has been inaugurated by the Arkansas Educational Association to raise the standard of popular educa- tion to provide more thorough trained and equipped teaching force and to provide public school train ing for every boy and girl in the state. The recent convention of the Arkan- sas Educational Association with near ly 10000 teachers and citizens en- rolled, was one of the most striking demonstrations of the new education- al conscience that has ever been wit messed in Arkansas. SAVE OUR SCHOOLS is the motto that is being deeply impressed upon the heart of every patriotic citizen of the state. Whatever the cost, whatever the sac rifice that must be made, whatever else fails, our public school system must be maintained and its maximum efficiency increased or the state will lapse into condition of ignorance that will become breeding place for crime and poverty.
 During the next few weeks an ef- fort will be made to secure at least 10000 signatures to the petition which is now being circulated for the new amendment. It is believed there will be little or no opposition, for it is recognized by all that unless the taxes are increased for school purposes, the public school system is doomed to fail ure. The petitions are being circu- lated under the direction of the coun- ty superintendents and it is hoped that every teacher and every citizen will assist in securing signatures.
 The next session of the General As sembly will convene just seven weeks from today, on January 10. In short time, or by the first of the year, legis- lative politics will begin to monopo lize the spotlight. It appears at this time that Senator Lee Cazort has the advantage of the situation in the cleo tion of the president of the Senate. MT. Cazort claims to have at least 23 pledged votes, which is more than. enough to insure his election. The situation in the house with reference to the speskership is not so well de- fined. No one apparently has a ma jority pledged to his support. There are three candidates who are the most prominently mentioned, these being Joe Joiner of Columbia, Harvey Par nell of Chicot and Tom Hill of Jeffer- son. Mr. Joiner, who was the speaker of the extra sessions of the last legis- ture, claims to have the largest num- Der of pledges. For the minor offices there has not been a great deal of in- terest manifested. So far Jim Hig- gins of Conway has no opposition for
The Carlisle independent., 1920-11-25

than $2000 has already been pledged It is hoped that enough pledges may be secured to insure the completion of the building so that it may be for mally dedicated on the occasion of the annual meeting of the association next summer. The site is.one of the most admirable in the whole state of Arkansas, and the clubhouse will be an ideal place for the hard working editors of the state to spend a few weeks or days during their summer vacations.
