Io,,osboro College Will Have A
SUMMER School

r, ovocntiye board Of the Jones'

ontborized the president to announce

tho faculty and the detailed plans lor

,at,r ~, ,rucb interest has already de-
yoIopod in the summer school
# will be the first twelve weeks
Summer school offered the teachers III
roucshoro. Opportunity will he given
for doing complete college courses
which will be equivalent to one-thiru
wear in regular session.
Teachers have been reviewing from
vear TO year but the time has come
when they must work out their degrees
in rs much as the law requires after
1926 that all teachers in first class
bipb schools have degrees and that the
standard of teaching ability in the low
er grades be raised.
The summer school will not only
offer college courses but will give
full and complete line Of review courses
for those teaching and wishing to take
tbe state examination for certificates.
These examinations will come at the
close Of the session.
Superintendent Hill has already been
consulted and is pleased to Know that
.Jonesboro College is contemplating the
training Of teachers.
For the benefit of those who are not
able to get in the June review courses,
complete repetition of all of those
will be offered in the last weeks of
July and the month of August. As
these are only 6 weeks courses, a re-
petition of them will just exactly fill
up the time included in - week sum-
mer quarter.
Students failing in high school
courses throughout Northeast Arkan-
sas should take advantage of the sum-
mer quarter. They will be allowed to
do regular high school work and get
credit for it in JOnesbOrO College Aca-
deny which is recognized as an A
grade high school by the State Depart
ment. High school students taking the
- weeks will be able to do IL or 2
units of credit. They will not be al
lowed to carry as many subjects as in
the regular term, but the subjects taken
up will be completed in the u weeks.
The regular college faculty will probab-
ly be retained for the summer school
and many of the leading educators en-
gagged in public school work i'm this sec
tion will be brought i'm to assist in the
review courses.
Those interested i'm the summer
school should address the President of
JOneshorO College.

Wreck of the DeIawanna Adds But Another To the Already
 Long List

| Halifax, N. g.. May 2.-The Lunen-
 burg schooner Delawanna, Canadian : entrant in the first international
 schooner race in 1920, in which the
 Gloucester boat Esperanto was the winner. was lost yesterday on the
 eastern coast Of Nova Scotia. The Delawanna's spring stay snap ped, causing the mainmast to crash i down, smashing in the stern of the boat.
 Captain Cook and crew escaped in dores and made shore in safety. The loss of the schooner adds one more to the long series of disasters that have oyertaken boats which have sought the international fishermen's trophy. The Gloucester schooner Es- peranto. which won from the Della wanna in the first race in 1920. was wrecked off Sable Island, N. S., in June, 1921.
 Almost on the same spot the Glou- cester schooner Puritan. built as a cup contender for the 1922 race series, ended her career in June, 1922, two months after her launching. The schooner Elizabeth Howard. unsuc- cessful contender in two elimination contests 10 choose the American rep resentative in the races for the trophy was lost off Porter's Island, N. S., in November, 1923.
 The Henry Ford, built in 1922 and loser to the Lunenburg schooner Blue nose in that years races. went on sandbar an hour after she was launch- ed at Essex and was held fast for a week before she was foated, after which extensive repairs were required. The Columbia, American representa- tive in the 1923 races. was rammed by a French trawler off Sable Island in the spring of that year in October she struck a rock outside Gloucester harbor but escaped serious damage: and was saved with difficulty.

ANDERSON WON'T PLAY
Famous Australian Tennis Star Am nounccs He Is Out Of The came For Good.
Ths Assorinted Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Sydney, Austra ip. May D. James 0. Anderson. captain and star of the Australian Davis cup team that was defeated by the United States in the 1923 challenge round, has abandoned all hope of competing in this years contest for international team supre- macy.
 He expressed surprise today when reports were brought him that, in view of austraia's excellent oppor- tunity to lift the trophy this season, he might be added to the Australian team which now is composed of Pat O'Hara Wood and Gerald Patterson.
 .'There is no truth to these re- ports'' said Anderson. ''I have not the slightest chance of playing this year."
New Britain herald., 1924-05-02

Anderson's presence on the 1924 Australian team would greatly en- nance the chances of Antipodean vic tory in the tournament particularly as America faces the loss of her bright est star. William T. 1iiden, over the player-writer controversy.
 Anderson is regarded as one of the finest singles players in the world, be- ing generally ranked now as second only to Tilden and on par with Will liam M Johnston, who was beaten by the tall Australian last year in the Davis cup challenge round. Anderson also was a member of the 1922 Aus tralian challengers, who were defeat cd by the United States. four matches 10 one. That year Anderson was be- lew his best form because of illness and lost 10 both Johnston and Tilden. Illness again handicapped him to some extent last year and he withdrew from the national singles championship after completing his Davis cup play.
