TEXARKANA SCHOOLS

Many Citizens Refuse to Sign Cards Increasing Taxes to Support Ed

Texarkana, Oct. 6.-Closing Friday all schools on the Arkansas side is what Texarkana now faces
 None of the wartime drives brought termined set of men, than these de- voting so much of their time this week to the s. o. s. campaign, but it is impossible for them to bring coercion to bear on those who are deaf and callous to all appeals for the salvation of the educational system of the town
 The teams that met for luncheon to- day at the Huckins House brought in reports that in the main were encour- aging, but which plainly showed that the goal is far from being reached. The very possible contingency of having to close the schools for an in definite period, and the inevitable calling in of the state tax commis~ sion for the re-adjustment of all To- cal taxes, becomes daily more nearly reality The injustice to the child ren, the adverse publicity to the whole town, the upheaval of the schools, may result despite all the efforts of those who most wish tC avert such condition.
 Put one more day of the drive re- mains.
 Tomorrow noon the teams will bring in final reports. The cards that are turned into the campaign committed for auditing will then be given over to Clean up squad" and pressure of some sort brought to bear.
 A small amount of cash donations 1 is given each day by citizens who have neither property nor children in school, but who are willing to dc all they can to prevent the disaster that threatens the youth of the city.
 Reports by the various team cap tains at todays lunch showed the number of absolute refusals by tax payers increased to support the public schools. The report showed 1S9 sig natures to the pledge cards.

Notice to School Boards.

To the secretaries of the various School Boards of Little River Coun- ty. The law requires that before a school warrant can be paid by the county treasurer, the same must be
 registered in the office of the County
 Superintendent and approved by him. You can help the bearer of warrant if you will first mail same to the County Superintendent and get his approval before you give it to the one whom you owe. Of course, your
 teachers know how to handle war
 rant and they can mail their warrants in with their monthly reports, but for all small sums, such as amounts
 for wood, pine, janitor service and repairs, which are usually given to ones who are not familiar with the manner in which the warrants are handled, it would be an aid to them if you would mail the warrants to the Supt for his approval before handing them out. The law requires that the Supt knows for what a warrant is drawn before he approves it. You will therefore specify on the warrant, what it is for, giving the amount or number and the price per item. For example, if you are purchasing wood or coal state the number of cords or tons and the price each. This law is intended to protect the money of the school children of the state, though it may cause a little trouble at times. II. w. Holmes, Sec. County Board of Education.
