TEACHERS ENROLL 100 PCT. IN DRIVE BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOL County Institute Ends with 145 Pres. ent-City Teachers Here
 Next Week.

Public school teachers in this county have reached 100 per cent enrolment in the forward education movement. Supt. A. A. Parsons, Jr., reported the maximum membership at the close of the county institute at the State Nor mai School yesterday. Many had en- rolled prior to the institute and the work was completed while it was in progress. As planned by leaders of the movement, the teachers of the state will enroll 100 per cent of their number, and then the citizens section of the Arkansas Educational Associa- ton will make good it's quota. The movement proposes the improvement of public schools in the state by creating more active interest upon the part of the public and removal of the constitutional limit on taxation for school purposes.
 The institute reached total enroll ment of 145 and will be followed next week by the institute for urban teach CTS, to be held at the high school. Fridays program at the Normal was combined by Supt. Parsons for both teachers and school directors, one of the addresses being delivered by J. c. Clark, chairman of the county educa- tion board. Results of the days work are highly satisfactory, MT. Parsons said, teachers and directors showing much interest in plans for public schools in this county. Other brief addresses were also delivered.
