SCHOOL MEETING
 TONIGHT AT 7::3O EXPECT MONSTER CROWD Plight of Conway School and State Movement are Vital Issues-Wis-
 dom Sisters Sing.

As meeting for the consideration of issues which affect all Conway, the rally to the cause of public school education to be held at the First Methodist church at 7:30 o'clock, has stirred an immense interest and in- dications this afternoon are that standing room only will be at a pre- mium. The parade of the school chil- dren, nearly 1000 in number, focused public attention on the number en- rolled and the responsibility devolving upon the city to provide adequate fa- cilities for their education. Pres. B. w. Torreyson of the State Normal will address the rally on the plight of the Conway schools, and the for ward education movement, which pro- poses to do for all Arkansas what Conway is attempting to do for the local schools, will be presented by James J. Harrison of Little Rock, it's director.
 An appeal to members of the Con- way Commercial Club, published else where in this issue, calls upon them to lend their support to the causes by attending the rally. P. F. Cleaver, president of the club, is especially concerned in measures which will inn mediately place in the school building some of the equipment now so sorely needed. An example of conditions there came to light in the formation of Red Cross class in home nursing, to be taught by Miss Martha Gretchen Mrs. J. R. Donnell for the Faulkner chapter supervised arrange ments for the class. Finding no chairs for it's use, she apealed to the club and was loaned cane bottom chairs from it's rooms. This and other phases of the situation will be pre- sented at tonight's meeting.
 On the forward education move ment, Faulkner has a quota of 575 members for the citizens section at $1 each, and is listed as one of the first six counties expected to go over, Mir. Harrison in the N minutes al lowed nm Will present the oDJectlVes of the great movement. Enrolment in this county thus far has been small.
 It is understood that no solicitation in behalf of the Conway school will be made part of the service, which is solely for consideration of conditions and remedial action best adapted to quickly relieve them.
 As special feature of the service tonight, the Wisdom Sisters will by request sing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" the old southern melody which this trio effectively rendered Wednesday morning at the State Nor nal School. Other numbers by these popular singers vii also be part of the program.

SCOUT CALLED "TAM-E-YUkH-
 TAH" (CUT-OFF LEGO

Amos Chapman was a scout for Gen. Nelson A. Miles in the war with
 he southern plains tribes in 1874. 7,ne day, with Billy Dixon ("Hasta"- l .ong Hair) and four soldiers he was arrying dispatches from Miles camp cn McClelland creek in Texas to Camp supply, Indian Territory, when they were surrounded by war party of l25 Commanches and Kiowas.
 At the first fire from the Indians Pri- ate Smith fell from his horse His < )mpanions, believing him dead, dis alounted, abandoned their horses and ln to buffalo wallow, a depression in the ground about 100 yards away. The two scouts worked swiftly with taeir knives deepening. the wallow vhils the three soldiers kept up hot ire against the savages, who were rid ircle around them.
 Suddenly Chapman noticed Private Smith trying, to rise. Boys, keep 'lese internal redskins off me and I'll run back and get Smith," he said to
 is companions. He laid down his ! fle, sprang from the wallow, and un- Ter hail of Indian bullets ran te
 here Smith lay. Throwing himself eslde the wounded man, the scout ulled Smith on his back and rose. IS he staggered back towards the wal s'w, 15 Indians rode for him at full
 )eed.
 Dixon and his comrades opened up with a fiercer fire to protect Chap ,.an in his dash for safety. When he "as only 20 yards from the wallow an nd;an rode almost on top of him and
 red. The scout fell, but since he id not feel any pain. he believed he lad only stepped into a hole.
 Amos, you are badly hurt!" ex- aimed Dixon as Chapman dropped eside him.
 "No, am not" declared the scout.
 Look at your leg" replied "Hasta," nd when Chapman looked he saw ,,lat one leg was shot off just above '.e ankle. He had been walking on 'ae bone and dragging the foot be- ] nd him, but in the excitement of the oment he did not know it. Ills

PARADE OF PUPILS
 10 MINUTES LONG

Pupils of the Conway public school marching in a double column, paraded the business district and a part of the residence section as a preliminary to the all-city rally to be held tonight at the First Methodist church. The line of march occupied 10 minutes in passing a given point and was con- vincing proof of the rapid growth of the school population, making it i'm perative that other facilities be added for their immediate use. The parade followed Clifton street from the church, crossing over to Front on Mill street and marching along Front until the Missouri Pacific station was reached. West Oak and Caldwell streets were followed on the return,
 The line of march was witnessed by many citizens. The children were orderly, and required little direction from their teachers.

SCHOOL SURVEY
 PLAN F0RMLATED COMMISSION ORGANIZES Federal Bureau of Education to Di- rect Survey of Arkansas
 School System.

Little Rock, Sept. 29.-A thorough
 elementary public schools of the state,
 together with teacher training and
 agricultural and manual training, is
 one of the fundamental purposes of
 the forward education movement.
 This is to be accomplished through
 the medium of the Arkansas educa-
 tional commission created by Cover nor McRae. This body, consisting of 26 men and women from all sections
 of the state, with w. B. Mann of
 Marianna, chairman of the Lee county board of education, held it's first ses- sion yesterday in the office of Gov ernor McRae
 Governor McRae addressed the com mission and asserted that the prob lem of education is the most important one now confronting the people of Ar kansas; that the educational condi- tions of the state are most unsatis- factory, in view of the fact that sta tistics show there are 100000 Hitter ate adults in the state, that one half of the children do not attend schnol and that the per capita paid for school purposes is $4.33 for those who at tend and SHEA for those enrolled i; that last year there were 500 school rooms in the state that were closed for want of teachers and that there were $500 undergraduate teachers. The governor said it is his desire that a complete survey be made by the best experts who can be secured of the public school system, beginning with the one room rural school and ex- tending through the Normal Schools. This survey should be sufficiently that a program may be formulated upon 1t for submission to the legislature in order that the state may be lifted from the 46th position which it now holds educationally. He said that the people have never re- fused to adopt any rational program for the benefit of the schools and that he did not believe they would do so now.
 J. J. Harrison, secretary of the estimated that the sur vey will cost $10,000, and J. R. Ham len of Little Rock was appointed chairman of the ub-committee to raise the finances, plans for wh ch were discussed. An executive commit tee was created which shall have charge of the business of the organi zation, consisting of w. B. Ma 'n, chairman; J. J. Harrison, secretary; Max Lyme, J. R. Hamlen and Mark Valentine. Mir. Bond and MT. Har- rison stated that the federal board of education has agreed to assume the management and direction of the sur vey without other cost to the state than the actual expenses. It was agreed that the commission should request the board to undertake this work. It is understood that other agencies will also be called upon and that the very best experts in the var ious lines of investigation will be employed to make the survey.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Success Of the

ponds upon recognition by the United
States, according to the report today
of DR.. George NJ. Fowles, treasurer to
the executive committee of the board
of foreign missions of the Methodist
Episcopal church. He has just return
ed to this country after tour Of
Mexico.
DR.. Fowles expressed himself as I'M
pressed with the primrose Of the new
administration and with the fact that
the Mexican congress as now consti-
tuted really represented the Mexican
people.
Fear of Intervention by the United
States is responsible for some of the
disagreements in the congress of Mex
leo" DR.. Fowles said, there being
radical groups who are so affected by
this possibility that they advocate ar
ultra-aloof attitude toward this coun
try. The power of the Obregon ad
ministration in it's efforts to enact
legislation which will make for a
rapprochement with tie United States
is thus lessened.'
The necessity for recognition by
this country is imperative so that
trade may be resumed"
