10 ENROLL 25.OO0
 IN SCHOOL DRIVE

Little Rock, July IA conference of the executive committee of the Forward Education Movement was held yesterday in the office of Supt J. L. Bond. It was agreed that an intensive campaign for membership is to be made throughout the state during the months of August and September. AS a result of this cam- paign, it is hoped that an enrolment of 100 per cent of the advertising force in each county and 25,000 citi- zens can be secured for the purpose of promoting the public school pro- gram of the state. A conference of county superintendents and other school leaders is to be held soon to work out the details.
 This movement is attracting much at- tention among men of all classes and the business interests, especially, are actively cooperating. A character istic expression is the following from H. c. Couch of Pine Bluff, woh writes as follows to Major J. J. Harrison, state director:
 "We as a growing state, need ad- ditional and outside capital and so often, while l am down east looking for money, the investors inquire, What are your educational facilities?' for they have found that their invest ments are safest in communities that have proper educational facilities.
 We are particularly blessed

HIGHER EDUCATION
 FOE TO DEMOCRACY
CRy the Associated Pressl

Des Moines, 1a., July 1.-The dicta- tion of higher institutions of learn- ing is bringing on such gigantic at tempts at educational legislation as to test democracy to the limit, Homer H. Seerley, of Cedar Falls, Ia., president of the National Council of Education, told the council here today. His theme was "The Struggle for Power in American Educational Systems"
 "The present period in education in this country is noted for huge en- deavors to raise immense sums of money by gifts, by taxes, and by ad- vance in tuition in order to possess buildings, equipments, and variety of instruction far beyond any former undertakings" MT. Seerley said.
 Ire struggle going on in American Democracy is leading to classified citizenship organizations attempting to dictate class instruction, class con- ditions and class opinions as to the purpose and the aims of education.
 "The institutions of higher learn ing are assuming to dictate everything regarding the recognition of what is standard and acceptable in public edu- cation and thus seek to dominate and control public policies, public ideals, and public efforts.

DR. REYNOLDS HIGHLY
 PRAISED AS LEADER

No words but those of praise are due Director General Reynolds and his assistants in the management of the Christian education movement. The character of the work they did is a credit to our Methodism, irres- pective of the degree of success the work reached We are inclined to think that the publicity department set new pace in this distinctive line. Dr. Clark showed a truly striking ability to deal with a great, compre- hensive publicity scheme. He had his lieutenants, Dr. Chadwick for the re- ligious press and Mr. Ahrens for the secular press, displayed talents in this line that would be appreciated at high values in the secular world. We are proud of them all-Christian Advo- cate, (Nashville)

Crops Injured by DrOuth,

The weather this summer has
got completely out CT joint, not
only in this country but in most
of the other countries. 1t is many
wears since there has been such
general and long continued hot
and dry weather. Ireland usually
so green, is nearly burned to a
cinder. In France there Is an
acute STORAGE Of all green stuff.
Reports from other parts of the
world are along the same line.
These unfavorable conditions
are reflected in the crop estimates
just put out by the U. 5. agricul-
tural department. Ordinarily
when one crop is below par, other
crops will show up unusually well
and thus a balance is preserved,
But this year practically every
thing is suffering, The condition
of potatoes is very bad and the re-
duced estimates puts the crop at
only 316,000;00Q bushels.
The total wheat crop estimate is
cut to 757,OO0,O00 bushels, corn
5000, 100000 bushels, oats LAO
100000 bushels. Corn shows the
best condition of any Of the big
staple crops-84 per cent. Hay
is 50, with crop of 95,00O,O00 ton:
forecast. Tobacco is estimated d
$780, 100000 pounds. Rice $4,000,
900 bushels. Apples will be
poor crop-total 10, 900, 900 bush
els. Peaches are put at 81, 900,
900 bushels, Cotton only $500
600 bales. Sweet potatoes ll5, O0(
900 bushels.
t Many people said it would b
] bettert to have smaller crops al
] get more money for them. Prov
dence seems to have taken thel
g at their word and given them VIII
2 they wished for. However, thel
0 are still large stocks remainin
! from the crops of previous year
+ 50 that there ought not to be acut
g suffering in this country. Gre
prices as whole have probab
70 touched bottom, and the tender
n cy now will be for them to ri
A somewhat, owing to the short pr
N duction.

Mothers Influence.

ntlQ Win jne DtJntl cNurCn, lne
following paper was given by Mrs.
NJ. A. Thigpen and the sugges-
tons offered seemed so helpful
that upon motion by one Of the
mothers present it was voted to
have same published.
For the sake Of brevity how
ever, will say that the paper was
cut in half, many Of the hints
which made the discussion SO
helpful having to be omitted.
Train up a child in the way he
should 60 and when he is old he
will not depart from it. Prov. 22:6.
This passage comes to my mind
when am about my daily tasks,
especially if the children come to
the place where they cannot agree
or ask me questions. Children
are continually asking their mo.
Their questions which she should
answer satisfact0rlal, for if she
doesn't the child will ask someone
else who may answer them in a
wav that will leave a bad impress
:, sion on him.
, We mothers know that our little
children, three, four and five years
. old, some times even younger,
t can be impressed with religious
truths. We are beginning to know
a the Importance Of starting early
in training up our children as we
would have them 60. So many of
