Montpelier, BrattlebOro and several
other Vermont communities followed an
admirable plan for Halloween in organic
ing and presenting a parade of "hor-
ribes" and other novelties. Some such
reasonable and lawful direction of youth
ful energy would be a great thing for
any town.-Rutland Herald.
The Brattleboro parade and jollifca-
'tion seems to have provided a safe, sane
and inexpensive way of celebrating Hal
loween and one which both old and young
could enjoy. The absence of any reports
of lawless depredations in town that even
ing shows that it worked out well.

TeXarkana, Nov. 9.-S. O. Campbell, living four miles north of the city in Texas, yesterday afternoon brought to town. human skull which he found while draining a marshy place On his farm.

Educational Institutions
 Have Large Enrollments

Little Rock, Nov. 10.-The educa- tional institutions of the state report greater enrolment of students than ever before in all their history. rms is true not only of the public schools which are for the most part crowded beyond their capacity, but of the state and denominational schools. which the enjoying an era of unusual pros perity.
 The University of Arkansas has an enrolment of more than HOO which is 15O more than it had at this time last year. This enrolment approaches the maximum that we reached dur ing the years while the university had secondary school in connection with it. This represents HOO collegiate students, among whom are students from every county in Arkansas as well as from many other states and for eign countries.
 The State Normal has an enrolment of 366, which is 1O1 more than a year ago and as the fall terms of the coun- try schools close there will be heal thy increase in the matriculation of teachers for the training courses.
 No other argument is needed to prove the necessity of greater facili- ties for taking care of the army of students in primary, secondary, high school and college courses. The high schools all over the state are wholly inadequate to provide accommodations for those entitled to their privileges. The Little Rock school are crowded to capacity and several more buildings are needed, including another Junior High School The Junior High School system is new in Little Rock. The first one was established only three years ago. Now there are three of them and another is contemplated for next year, if the necessary money can be raised for it.
 The educational conscience of the people of Arkansas has been aroused as never before and the interest is expected to culminate in a concerted movement for greater things for our schools at the annual convention of teachers and citizens in the Arkansas Educational Association which will be in session ill Little Rock this week
