GREAT EDUCATIONAL
 PROGRAM.

The county superintendents of Ar kansas held a two days session last week. upon call of State Superin- tendent J. L. Bond, for the. purpose of formulating plans for the great est educational program ever under taken in Arkansas. Only one of the 75 snperintendents was absent and all enthusiastically approved the plans of the Forward Education Movement.
 The plan of organization was ex- plained in detail by Mir. Harrison and was unanimously endorsed and adopted by the superintendents. Mir. Harrison explained that 1t is the pur- pose of the movement to enroll 100 per cent of the teachers of the state, of whom 3.254 are already enrolled; also to enroll 25,000 citizens who are committed to the plans and ob- iectives of the Association. There has has been formed central com mittee of 100 representative citizens, representing all counties who are naming workers in the several coun- ties of whom there are to be at least l,000, each of whom is expected to enroll 9 citizens during the 60.day period beginning August l.
 As an added incentive, profes- sional library valued at Sl00 will be awarded to each county which enrolls at least 90 per cent of its teachers and 75 per cent of its quota of citizens which Is based upon 2 l-2 per cent of the white population of the county, according to the last cen sus. The state is divided into con- gressional districts with a district manager in charge of the campaign in each. These managers were se- lected by the county superintendents as follows:
 l. M. o. Alcorn, Wynne.
 2. J. Wood Henry, Searcy.
 3. w D. Jeter, Harrison.
 4. W. H. Morden, Mena.
 5. Tom D. Bullock, Russellville
 6 Clarence Davis, Lonke.
 '. D. C. Hastings, Crossett.
 These managers will act in coop eration with the county superintend- ent and citizen chairman in the sev- eral counties and a complete school district organization is contemplated by means of which it is hoped to reach every citizen in the state dur ing the months of August and Sep tember. It is proposed 10 award a loving cup to the district which makes the best showing in the enroll ment of its citizens and teachers.
 Hamp Williams of Hot Springs, chairman of the citizens section, was unable to be present, but he sent to the superintendents challenge that if they would enroll the 5000 teachers of the state, the citizens section would give them three times as many laymen committed to the cause of education.
