100 TO CONSIDER
SCHOOL PROBLEM

With the announced intention of
devising means whereby Arkansas can
be lifted from it's present standing
as the forty-sixth state in the union
in the development and support of
public school education, the citizens
section of the state department of
education will meet Thursday morn
ing at Hotel Marion, Little Rock, &C
cording to a class issued by Hamp
Williams of Hot Springs, chairman
of the section and former federal
food administrator in Arkansas.
Mr.. Williams has mailed invitations to
100 representative citizens of the
state, representing every walk of life,
and the task will be undertaken SER
iously.
The last meeting of the section was
held last fall in conjunction with the
gathering of the Arkansas Teachers
Association. 1t discussed the prob
lens confronting public school edu-
cation in the state but reached no def
mite conclusions. As now proposed
by Mr.. Williams, the 100 men will
consider the task and attempt to de-
wise means which will be effective in
every section of the state, when car
ried out with the assistance OF local
citizens.

ADDRESS TO CLASS
CENTRAL OLLEGECL0SINC
Record Number of Diplomas and Ger
tificates Awarded-HonOrs
for College Year.

Made notable by the eloquent and
fervent address which Governor Thorn
as &. McRae delivered to the class
and the record number of diplomas
and certificates conferred, baccalau-
reate exercises concluding the twen-
! ty-seventh annual session of Central
College were held in the auditorium
this morning. All told, President
Doak S. Campbell conferred on be-
half of the college 35 diplomas and
certificates, fact which Mr.. McRae
mentioned in the course of his address.
Award of collegiate honors and the
benediction, a prayer by Row. E. P.
j. Carrot, brought the exercises and
the college year to a close.
To open the splendid service this
morning, the student body sang
praise Ye the Father" while Mr..
Campbell, Mr.. McRae, j. Frank Jones
and DR.. ]. H. Estes of Little Rock,
who occupied seats in the rostrum,
entered with the senior class and were
seated Rev. R. L. Jetton then asked
the Invocation. and Mr.. Campbell pre-
scented Miss Ruth Estes of Little Rock
who represented the class. Her sub
ject was "Woman's Real Place."
paper which displayed close study and
was worthy tribute to the benefic-
ent influence of woman in all man
ner of activity, with the home describ-
ed as her real place. Miss Madge
McMurry then rendered piano solo,
which won the applause of the audi
ence.
The representative of the faculty,
Miss Vida Adams of Conway, took as
her subject christian Education for
Women" describing the various
stages in the progress of woman to
the place now held. Her paper en-
phasized by use of striking illustra-
tions the need of woman for educa-
ton ad Christian education. Miss Ma
bel Thompson of Conway, a graduate
in voice, followed her with well re-
ceived solo.
Mr.. Campbell introduced Mr.. Nc
Rae as busy man who consented to
lay aside for a day his arduous du-
ties as the states chief executive to
address the class. Mr.. McRae, whose
voice did not carry we'll to all parts
of the auditorium, declared that
should his address be lacking in ora
torical finish and flourishes, he
hoped to make it up with wholesome
truths, consideration of which is worth
while.
Mr.. McRae first declared himself
a believer in Christian education and
congratulated the church upon the
ownership of Central. At no time has
the need of Christian education been
greater than now, he said, and cited
the appalling extent of illiteracy IN
the army as proof of his assertion.
"Illiteracy in the army so shocked
America" the governor said, that
now one-third of soldiers time is
given over to his education Hitter
acy is a menace to the world and to
America. Illiterate Russia threatens
Europe and we have our menace at
home.
"Here in Arkansas we have $4,000
children of school age and only $4,000
of them attend school. In Arkansas
500 schoolhouses are vacant for lack
of teachers. We paid only $1024 per
capita for public school education last
year, while our per capita for tobacco,
cigars and snuff was $21. And still
we say we are doing all we can for
