QUARTER MILLION
 DONATED SCHOOLS

Little Rock, June 9.-It has been estimated that the people of Arkan- sas have this year paid approximate ly $25O,OOO voluntarily to supplement
 he public school funds available for use during the past school year. Notwithstanding, this heavy volun. tary increase, many schools have ,, hortened their terms and the schools n North Little Rock, Star City, Ola, Grady and Ell Paso, besides numerous
 mall country districts, have been
 losed because of a lack of funds.
 Among the towns that have paid voluntary taxes are: Rector, 8 mills; Wynne 6 mills; Waldron 8 mills; Lit tie Rock 6 mills; Prescott 6 mills; Leslie 12 mills; Carlisle 10 mills; Paragould 8 mills; Fordyce 10 mills Walnut Ridge 10 mills; Stuttgart 12 mills. Many other districts including "a large number of rural schools are also paying a voluntary tax, but there is no official record kept and the ex- act number is not available. Other additional funds raised include, Con- way, $25,000; Rosebud, $4,OO0; Nor rilton. $4,000; Van Buren, $1O,OOO, and Bentonville, $10.000.

CT be a shortage as there are mill lions in the waters surrounding the
 island. "In fact the farther north you go the more sharks you will find and from here to Alaska are their feed
 ing grounds" Mir. Mcdonald said. Taking them from the bottom of the sea is automatic. Norway has a hundred of such industries. The only real hook for catching them, which works on a swivel, comes from there and the so-called cod-liver oil, which invades the markets of the world, is really shark liver oil, manufactured in Norway"
 Nothing is wasted in a shark plant. There is no finer fish meat than that made from the bodies of the sharks. As a fertilizer it is superior to dog fish. The head of the shark is full of glue of highly valuable quality and are fins are much prized Chinese food delicacy, Orientals here paying as much as $3 pound for it. The liver content runs from 60 to 70 per cent of finest oil of which about 10 per cent is glycerine. Sharks teeth are in de- mand i'll many parts of the world and fetch high price for the manufacture of ornaments. What bones there are, and they are few, go into the fertilizer part of the industry.
 The greatest interest in this new in- dustry is being manifested in the of hides. Several Amer ican companies have been formed and much research work is being done at present. The shark hides run from an inch in thickness to the consistency of paper in the baby shark. In Seat tie they are manufacturing hip-boots from shark hides and they are de- clared to be completely waterproof.

M'RAE CHAMPIONS
 CAUSE OF SCHOOLS
NORMAL SCHOOL CLOSES
States Public Schools and Their Need Text for McRae and Bond
 NOrmaPs Largest Class.

Speaking today at the State Nor maj, the hub of Arkansas system o1 public school education, Governor Nc.
 Rae went on record as stauncl champion of immediate action to raise the state from the lowly position il now occupies among the states of the union on the score of it's common schools. J. L. Bond, superintendent of public instruction, continued the same theme before his award of diplo- mas and certificates, the class for the year comprising 61 members, the largest in the 13 years the institution has served the state.
 Governor McRae's declarations were of a positive nature. He was intro |duced as citizen and official whose long record in public service is we'll known in every section of Arkansas. 'The states greatest sin has been against the public schools" he de- clared. "What have we reaped? A harvest of crime and illiteracv, the greatest menace to any people. Nine counties close together, of which Faulkner is one, pay $6.O4 per capita for education. l am saying school population. These nine counties aver age $6.04 per capita. White pays |$12."
 At this point some interrupted the governor to saw White is three times the size of Faulkner. "It makes no difference" he replied. q am speak ing of per capita. God bless the com- munity which has both children and money. Faulkner has both"
 Every age of action is followed by an age of thought, MT. McRae said, and it is now time for America to turn to the inner man and vouchsafe Ito every boy and girl that equality of opportunity promised under the con- stitution. Liberty, freedom and illit- eracy are not compatible, he declared, and he championed an amendment to the states organic law which will per- init school districts to vote whatever rate of taxation required to make common school education open to every child in Arkansas. He told of his own lack of education and his firm resolve to stand staunchly by the pub lie schools, and not to treat any one as his generation treated him. "God bless the community which digs down and supports it's schools" he said.
 Arkansas lowly place as the forty sixth state of the union in support of education is not the fault of the people, but of school directors and

Manila, P. l., April 15.-(Delay- ad) The veteran army transport, Crook, which was offered for sale by the quartermaster of the Philippine department of the United States army. is still on the market, no bids having been received for the craft in re- sponse to advertisements. The reason assigned for lack of bids is surplus ocean tonnage for the freight now offering.
 The Crook was formerly British ship, having been built in Scotland in 1882. She was known as the Rou- mania until purchased by the United States at the outbreak of the Spanish American war. Her gross tonnage IS 4,126.
 It is also planned to sell the trans- port Warren which operates regular. ly between Manila and China ports. The Warren was once the German ship Scandia of the Hamburg-American inc. She was built in 1889 and pur- chased at the breaking out of the Spanish war in 1898.

COURT MATTERS.

A suit against the estate of the late J. w. Herring, to satisfy note of $275 held by Mrs. Josephine Lucas, has been filed in the Faulkner chan cery court.

THE APPOINTMENT OF LORD
BYNG

There is peculiar appropriate
ness in the offering OF the COVER
nor-generalship OF Canada to
Lord Byng, as reported. Before
taking charge of the Third Brit
iSh army he was commander OF
the Canadian forces. He led the
Canadian troops in their great
achievements at Niny ridge.
where they were proud to win the
sobriquct OF "Byng's boys"
But Canada's chief cause for
gratitude to Lord Byng is not the
more spectacular victories with
(which his name IS associated as a
leader OF her soldiers. but his serv-
ices in training her troops to play
their efficient part in the winning
OF the war. Byng as general was

noted as the greatest disciplinar-
ian in the British army. 1t was
said that he made his men polish
the backs OF their buttons and the
nails Of their boots. He made the
new armies parade morning, noon
and night. Maj. Eric Fisher
Wood has told us in his Note
book of an Intelligence Officer"
that The Canadian troops when
they first went to Europe were
ineffective and vulnerable because
they did not sufficiently appre-
ciate the value OF rigid and pune
tiIious discipline. They did not
lack courage or discipline, but
courage or initiative. to have mill
tary value. must be co-ordinated
by strict discipline" Byng gave
them this discipline.
As the seventh son Of the Earl
OF Stratford and now a lord III his
own right. Lord Byng is an arts
tocrat whom even the most ex-
tremc democrats can admire, for
he has made his own way by his
energy and consummate talent
ever since, as young man. he
chose the army for his career.
The people Of Canada will receive
him as one OF their own. who has
been comrade-in-arms with
their sons. aud who will do his
utmost to advance the welfare OF
the Dominion.
