Need Six Additional Instructors.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 7.—Presi
dent Futrall of the University of
Arkansas, in a preliminary re
port to the Board of Trustees,
calls attention to the fact that
the employment of six addition
al instructors will make possi
ble the establishment of com
plete courses in six different
subjects as follows: Architec
ture, Public Speaking. Journal
ism, Business and Commerce,
Highway Engineering and phar
; macy. Every year the Univer
sity has applications from citi
zens for work in all these sub
jects, and an examination of
catalogues of schools outside the
I state shows that many Arkansas
' students are taking such
! courses elsewhere.
j In each of the subjects men
tioned, three-fourths or more of
the work is already taught in !
| the University, but a oart of the
I necessary technical work is not !
j provided, so that it is impossi
ble for a student to obtain a
complete and satisfactory course
in any one of them.

vote here.

No, Ar-Kan-Saw, our real cogno
men isn’t L. E. Phant. It’s just our
nom de plume. For various reasons,
we refuse to tell our real name. Now
you were so kind as to tell where Ade
laide was located, four miles east of
Denmark, and six miles north of
Bradford, if you will tell us where
Denmark and Bradford are, we will
promise to ask no more questions.
We note with pleasure the announce
ment of Walter F. Hurley for a sec
ond term as road overseer. Mr. Hur
ley has attended to the duties of his
office faithfully the past two years

the various districts. He should get
the endorsement of the people for
his second term and he will no doubt,
attend to his duties the next two years
as he has during the past term.

Two candidates for prosecuting at
torney, Casey and Williamson, mani
fested their grit and earnestness by
walking out from Tuckerman Tues
1 day to make an address to the voters
here; and a third one, T. A. Gray,
showed equal fortitude by coming
from Swifton horseback. Each one of
the three is seemingly fairly entitled
to receive the support of the small
collection of voters they met and ad
dressed at Guiltner’s store.
It seems that I was mistaken last
week in supposing everybody was a
fraid of Mr. Oldfield, and that Mr.
Campbell of Randolph has decided to
enter the race and “beard the lion 1ft
his den.” Mr. Campbell is not a
stranger nor is he an unimportant
factor in the contest, and will assur
edly make things interesting for Mr.
Oldfield. The people in the meantime,
will feel confident that they are to
have an able and efficient man in con
gress, whether it be* Tom or Bill.
