McVay at Pins Blnff Is, Held to Grand Jury. Pine Bluff, Dec. 28. (Special) Doc Bagland, the negro whose confession caused the arrest of J. W.

Etheridge for the killing of J. W. McVay, in this city, was today given a prelim-inary hearing and held to the Grand, Jury on a charge of murder, without bail, by Magistrate Frazier. Etheridge was a more propitious time for mould plans for, a better educational system. The community critic who dis parages the new movementt for a better system had -better take care.

When the community once comes into a full realization of the -good that will come from school consolidation and other improvements in-the educational system, all these critics will be killed off banished. They- will have to get out of the way'of the interests of the children! of the common schools." A larger conception of citizenship is necessary, said, Hartzog, and we must come to realize and appreciate the fact that the individual who labors for the advancement of the State from the civic standpoint is as much a pa triot as the military hero, and is as deserving of credit. Here is where the great part the teacher and friend of education may in promoting the educational interests and keeping eternal'y before the public the needs of improvement nntil the5e improve ments became accomplished fact. Endorses Education Board. Dr.

A. C. Millar, president of Hen- drix College, delivered an able and discriminating address in support of tho demand for a permanent State education board. "The State has nothing that can be proderly termed au education board," said Dr. Millar, "although 33 other States have such organizations and much of the efficiency of their school systems is due to this fact.

"We pay out: more annually for schools than forvany other item, yet there is no board to direct the expenditure of this money, or to supervise generally the school system of the State. This is a condition that should not exist, and that cannot exist much longer. The people of the State are demanding a better system, and it is only a matter of short time until the change will "The State superintendent is burdened with too many details of office work to be able to look after the educational affair of the State at large as should be done. One man cannot possibly do all that should be done in overseeing and supervising our common schools and colleges. "I would not suggest a commission that would lord it over the other school authorities, but we need and must have a permanent body to advise with the superintendent of public instruction and assist in perfecting the general educational system." Such an organization, declared Dr.

Millar, would stimulate college attendance and add immeasuraby to the efficiency of the system of higher education. It should keep in view at all times the good interests of all the schools, without preference for any. The Best Immigration Bureau. "The best immigration bureau that can be estabished by a State is a good system of public school," said Prof. J.

W. Kuykendall, in a brief but forceful address on consolidation oi rural schools. "Much of the loss sustained by Arkansas during the past ten years in the growth of the Southwest has been due to the' fact that our puouc scnooia are not what they ought to be, We took the objections urged jagainst. rural school consolidation ana showed that they are all flimsy, and Jare to be compared with the gain Hia nmAiiiniHeft under consolidation. the communities under consolidation.

He showed that 38 States already have Consolidation and that the ost per capita, based on actual school attendance, is less than it is in States where the old-faBhioned, single-room school buildings are still found. Professor Kuykendall recommended to all teachers and to the public at large the reading of the report of the committee of the State Education Commission on rural school consolidation, as this embodied practically all that could be said on the subject. For Health Supervision. In a strong paper by Dr. J.

H. Southard of Fort Smith on "What Shall the School Do for the Physical Welfare of Children!" the recommendation was made that a school nurse should be employed and that there should be the most cordial cooperation among parents, the school and the health authorities in protect- ihe Suppmtenaent Supei George Seid-ofV iexarkana read a valuable paper on school ventilation and sanitation, and Col. R. C. Hall of Lktle Rock told of what Little Rock is doing in the matter of improving health conditions in the city schools.

Greetings From California. From the 8tate Educational Association of California a telegram of greet-' ing was received, conveying also an invitation to the Arkansas teachers to attend the next meeting of the National Education Association in San Francisco next July. -Professor Drokc, president of the State association, was authorized to acknowledge receipt of the greeting and send a suitable response.

AT A MEETING OF THE ABBAM- sas Historic Commission last afternoon. it was decided to carry on the work of endeavoring to compile a roster of Arkansas troops who participated in the Civil War, degpite tne fact that the war department at Washington has de nied the commission access to the war records at Washington.

It was also recommended that the funds for print ing the reports, of the commis sion should be included in the State printing appropriation instead of being made a separate printing appro priation. A committee composed of B. McKenzie, James E. Wood and Miss Clara Eno was appointed to look after legislation needed in connection with the work of the commission. GREATEST TEACHERS' MEETING OF STATE (Continued from First Page.) "There was never a greater error.

The whole proposition nun Rome and Germany put this Prln-j ciple of to high or academic and Germanv must be acknowledged to stand pre-eminently at the head of the family of nations in the perfection and thoroughness of its educational system. It is this system that is gradually but surely giving it pre-eminence in the commerce of the world, as well as in the fields of art and science." Teacberg That. Become Active. "I dont believe in a labor union for teachers," continued Hartzog, in speaking of the part the teachers should play in securing legislation needed to advance the interests of edu cation, "but I do believe in a unity of purpose and harmony of sentiment among the' teaching fraternity. It is necessary to accomplish anything, and with it we can accomplish everything we undertake that is reasonable.

"The teachers of the State must become active in these matters. Here in the city of Little Rock there is a Shaniber, fjjctBHnediat hp- 'attaekr anything- would be disadvantageous eo, the city and- the State. Why can't the teachers have that flame spirit and be as prompt in acting, when the welfare of the childrtff of the public schools is endangered! It is higS time we learned to meet propositions squarely and in a business-like way. Then, and only then, will we get results." Efforts of Three Men. In speaking of the new movement in this State for greater educational results Dr.

Hartzog said that credit is due chiefly to the efforts ot ihree men Dr. Wickliffe Rose of Washington, who had had the good taste, good judgment and good sense, said ie, to marry' an Arkansas girl; Bourland Nashville, Ten who had exercised' the wise foresight of being born in Arkansas, and Superintendent George B. Cook, who has been for many years connected with the development of Arkansas education He deplored the fact, however, (hut the education commission has, only $80 per. month for meeting all expenses, publishing bulletins, and this is a gratuity from" 'private individuals In, order for the commission to succeed, hs pointed out, it was absolutely necessary to have the co operation of the teachers of the State. Cost Need Not Be Fabulous; What the State needs, said the speaker, is not so much larger taxes for school purposes as a better plan for general a more uni.

form system and the elimination of the present causes of waste In small isolated districts. Arkansas, compared to its ability ii pay taxes, is now paying practically as much as is Indiana, Ohio and other 8tates, said he, and the State is not to be criticised for lack of interest in paying revenues into the common school fund. It is only necessary that a better plan for distributing and ap. plying these funds be inaugurated. The working out of the plan for' reasonable aid to high schools, the maintenance of a State educational board end the consolidation of- the rural schools, said Dr.

Hartzog, can be accomplished without any great Increase in the cost of school maintenance. Critics Will Be Killed Off. pub'kJ' is -hungry tot tion regarding' the publia schools," ing or were married at 8:30 p. m. yesterday at the realdence of the bride's sister, Mrs.

YORK SAYS HE WAS Iron Worker Says He Was Held Up at Eighth and Sherman Streets Last Night by Two Armed Men They Bound and Gagged Him, He Says. M. H. York, an iron worker in the employ of the Arkansas Foundry Company, reported to the police last night at 9:30 o'clock that he had just been robbed at the corner of Eighth and Sherman streets, and relieved of $80. He says Just as he reached the corner two men came out from the shadow and the larger one of the two placed a gun in his face, and told him to hold up his hands.

He says he hesitated, and they it plain to him that he would be shot it he d'd not comply with the demand. He says after they had gone through Teoiri Hnw-rtn on'e'Sti his own handkerchiefs, tying the other one around his mouth so he could not call for help. Thus, bound and gagei, he claims he made his way to his rooming houss at 511 East Seventh street, where the gag and binding were removed by a fellow roomer. The strange part of it all is tljat he does not remember who removed the handkerchief from his hands and mouth, and when talking to the detectives today seemed to have the dazed feeling of a man -who had been drugged. He was out with a companion until a few minutes before he was and took a few drinks, but not enough, he says, to make "nim feel it.

York has been collecting some money on the accounts of a concern in litigation is how he happened to have the $80 on his person. The detectives are puzzled oser the and have no clue on which to work.
