large experience in conducting such
campaigns, having been for several
years Director of Adult Schools IN
Alabama.
This work will be carried on through
the cooperation of the county super
intendents and examiners, and the
teachers of the state. Adult schools
will be conducted by the pupil school
teachers n the many communities OF
the state. The schools will continue
four or five weeks with three or foul
sessions each week. Textbooks will be
furnished free.
The commission has arranged t.
have the results of this work included
in the Forthcoming census. We hope
therefore, not only to reduce illiteracy
in the state but to lower materiallyAr-
kansas illiteracy percentage IN this
respect. Arkansas now ranks thirty
seventh in illiteracy. Other states ae
also working hard to reduce their illit-

will require hard work on the part Of
Arkansas people generally to hold

The Course of Study

The new course of study for the ele-
mentary grades is now ready for dis
tribution and is being sent out to the
county superintendent and examiners
for distribution to the teachers of the
state. Teachers who desire copies
should apply to their county superin-
tendents and examiners for them.
This course Of study is based upon
the state adopted textbooks. For this
reason, they are not being sent at this
time to the counties that are still I'M
der county adoptions. 1t would prob
ably be unwise to have them distribu-
ted in these counties until they are
ready to take up the state adopted
textbooks.
The Department Of Education is
proud of this work It has been work
ed out after a long period of work
and effort upon the part of a good
large number of teachers, county su-
perintendents and the Department of
Education. 1t is earnestly hoped that
it will be helpful to the teachers
of the state in their work
We regret to advise that the supply
of this course of study is limited be-
The Carlisle independent., 1920-02-05

cause of the scarcity of the Depart
ment's printing funds. For this rea-
son, We must ask that the supply of
the courses of study be conserved as
far as possible and that they be distri-
buted only among teachers who are
actually teaching.
The course has been carefully pre-
pared, and it is earnestly hoped that
it may be an indispensable help to the
teachers of the state. Criticisms and
suggestions on any phase of the
course are invited.-Educational News

ANOTHER ROAD MEASURE.

Jackson, Miss, March 1.-Senator
A. c. Ball of Webster county has placed
on the senate calendar bill to raise
money for the construction Of good
roads without the necessit of bond is
sue. The Ball measure outlines plan
to raise approximately $2,65O,OO per
year to be paid into the state treasury,
apportioned among the counties on the
basis of area in square miles, and ex-
pended by the county authorities, thus
eliminating the state highway commits
sion from playing any part in the pro-
gram.
The bill levies an average tax of $40
each on the $4,000 motor vehicles in
the state, which would yield about
$500,000. 1t provides a tax of one cent
per gallon on gasoline to be collected
by the vendor, and paid to the county
tax collector which would yield about
$2,000,000. Next is provided gradu-
ated tax of 81 to $40 assessed on
horse drawn vehicles which would
bring in about $75O000 per year. The
final item is an advalorem tax of
mill en- assessed valuation, which
bring in approximately 100000.
The author figures that by following
this plan the heavy interest charge
will he eliminated and M heavy hur-
den will be imposed on the tax payers,
that the total will show steady in
crease each year as the number of au-
and other vehicles increases.

SEACOAST OIL CO.
SOON TO Drill
Meeting Of Directors Appoints Com

Negotiate for Rig, Etc.

| A meeting of the directors of the
Seacoast Oil Company, the home COM
pany organized and chartered some
months ago to test out the oil pOssi-
bilities in this section, was held here
Thursday afternoon with almost full
attendance. Much enthusiasm was
manifested and prospects for early
active drilling operations are splendid.
So well pleased were the directors at
the progress made in the sale Of stock
that committee composed of Messrs.
Mcintosh, Dantzler. Herring. Martin,
Watts and Young was appointed to
select site for the first well, erect der
rick and negotiate for drilling rig,
etc.
The company is incorporated for
100000 and the directorate is com
posed of a number of the most promi-
nent business men of South Missis-
sippi. The company contempIates put
ting down at least three wells, and
the leases held by them have been
pronounced by several well-known and
successful geologists as abounding in
oil indications. In fact, some of them
state that the surface indications for |
oil in the Pascagoula district are bet
ter than that shown in any proven
field in the United States, and all are
unanimous in the belief that this will
probably develop into one of the great
est oil fields in the country
This district as potential oil field
is attracting the attention of oil men
from all parts of the country. Scarce
ly a day passes that new ones do not
arrive to look over the territory. AT
least four or five outside companies
are now negotiating for leases and
acreage with view of drilling at an
early date.
