 As Commissioner Tigert writes, in

A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION
 IN ARKANSAS

A great event for the immediate future of the state of Arkansas has occurred during the past week in the submission to the State Educational Commission of the report of the School Survey A nasty examination of the digest of this report, which is all that is available at present, suggests that Governor McRae is fully justified in characterizing it as the most signifi- cant public document of the decade and by Chairman w. E. Mann as q program which will effect progress in Arkansas for fifty years to come.
 In brief, the survey proposes that tue State of Arkansas shall undertake by means of a carefully articulated ten years program to bring educa tional facilities and opportunities up to the average of conditions as they exist in the As states In view of the back ward conditions which the Survey OK pcrts found in our school system, the proposal that we raise our standards to the equivalent of average conditions for the United States is in fact an

Higher Standards Needed


 The Survey calls attention to the extremely low standards of education and professional training among the teachers in the rural schools. Of the rural teachers reporting, 22fe have had nothing more than common school edu- cation: less than one-fourth had finish ed high school less than one-fifth had had any normal training. Experience in other states indicates that the best way to secure an adequate teaching supply iS to require candidates for certfication. gradually increasing academic and professional qualifica- i tions The survey proposes ten years program of gradually increasing re- qu rements, so that by 1932 no one will he permitted to teach in an elementary school in Arkansas who has not had four years of high school and ill ad- dition two years of professional prep aration in normal school. If this plan be made effective. the state will be justified in providing salary schedule representing better compensa- on for better services. sad condi- tion of affairs was found as regards enrolment of pupils attendance, and l length of school term. In only one or two states in the Union are conditions so bad In one typical county 22 of the 32 schools have a term of 60 days or less A study of 42, ,5S4 white pupils l in more than 1000 rural schools show ed that more than half of all the chil- dren are above the normal ages for the grades in which they are enrolled. | That is. they are repeaters for whose or three or more times. A careful study shows that in the 10S0 schools
 reporting, there should be approXima-
 tely 24,0O0 pupils in the first and six
 grades, on the basis of normal ages l instead there are 35,SS2, an excess of nearly 12OOO This shows clearly that
 these schools are handicapped by du-
 plica ton of effort to the extent of nearly one tAird, due to the piling up
 of children in these grades by reason
 of the failure of promotion.
 In presenting the report to the Gov
 ernor and he Comm ssion the Director
 of the Survey emphasized the fact that
 this investigation was wholely imper
 sonal and was actuated from beginning i to end by a desire to do something to improve educational conditions for boys and girls of Arkansas as it's chief con ] troll ng motive The survey staff con- sisted of Is experts drawn from i'm portant positions in widely separated states working in cooperation with and under the direction of the U. $.

Many Reasons.
There are many reasons why the
allied debts should not be cancelled,
said Representative Burton.- First.
they are binding obligations. ma
would throw doubt on national credit,
which is an all-important part of all
commercial and Industrial rsl&eions0
Second, these loans we're not made
from an .aboundinS revenue, but were
obtained by, borrowings from our peo-
pie with no small difficulty and with
a great deal OF sacrince. There Waa
no thought at tho time, that they
| would not be repaid and indeed the
law under which our people took our
bonds provided for their exchange In
! kind.
Third, the United States is sincere.
ly interested in yorM peace. II these
debts were cancelled It would lead tl
an expansion OF the military and
/ naval establishments Of other coun
tries and thereby, bring a threat o.
war and all the waste It entails.
Fourth. proportionately, the In
crease in the debt Of the United state'
!, aR-a result Of the war is greater thar
that of the borrowers. The inoreas'
in taxation also 10 proportionatel!
greater. .~
Opposes Further Loans.
"Fufther, while we recognize tn
wonderful sacrifice made by the allie
during the war, their danger was NOR
imminent and we have gained NJ
territory and are got expecting an,
large 'indemnities. The. general feel
ing abroad is that these. debts ought t
be paid" n Jt.a
Mr.. Burton also declared aeains
!!.any further national loans abroad
adding that private credits for Amer
loan raw materials might and shoul
be arranged but thaf the United State
treasury should not be called upo
