THE ARKANSAS IN
DUSTRIAL HOME.
For many years the leaders in Ar
kansas, both in church and state,
have seen the need of an Industrial
Home for girls. Such a school
would have been established years
ago but for the lack of funds. Our
legislators could not under the cir
cumstances make appropriations
sufficient to build and care for it.
All that has been done in this line
in the past in our great state has
been done by private gifts of indi
viduals with only state and munici
pal indorsement.
With the increase of, population
and' the war conditions the need for
such a home has become so great it
cannot be deferred any longer. Hu
manity demands it. The safety of
society demands it—the moral and
physical interests of our boys de
mand it. The officials of our state
from Gov. Brough down, are work
ing for it. President Wilson has de
clared it a war measure, the de
mands 'of which can no more be neg
lected than the interests of our ar
mies in camp or “over there.” Read
carfully what the editor says in to
day’s Independent. Knowing the
nat.riotism of our Jackson county
men and 'women, I feel safe in saying
that the amount of $1,500 will
be paid as soon as they know the
facts in the case. Being a war meas
ure, as well as involving the moral
and economic interests of our whole
state and nation, we cannot afford
to be slackers now by neglecting
this institution, especially so . when
so little money is asked for at this
time. Wm. B. Hayscmfwyp vbgkqj
