In 1800 the per capita product

and in 18!>0 05 cents What brings

covered to exBt, in i-obited cases
only, no impor.iiuee would he at
tached to it; hut when if is found
to exist all over the country and
extending over a petiod of twenty
years, the conclusion forces itself
upon us th-'t 'he relation bet vec:
educalio.. a;..’ ,.;\.d..edon i.-, or.e. of
cause and off ct. I’ne contention
is not made that this relation is
it'solu‘e, for other factors may
enter, such as differences in soil,
capital, and character of edit a j
tion. It might he said too thut i
the wealth of the people deter
mines their educational expendi
ture, that if they are poor their
schools will i>e poor, that if they'
are wealthy, their schools will be i
good. Tliis is ia part true; for,
people will often gauge their ?i|»- '
propriations for schools by their J
wealth. I’liis however does not
affect the truth of our main thesis.
The effect of poor schools on pro
ductive capacity is the same.what
ever the cause of the failure to
provide them.
Should these facts have any
bearing upon the action of Arkan
sas?1 Our venerable charter of j
1*74 imposes upon the general as
sembly the duty of maintaining a
general, suitable and efficient sys
tem of schools, but this document
which commands also with-holds
the power to perform. We have
long since exhausted our taxing
power, both state and local, and it
has proved wholly inadequate.
Many states place no limit upon
the taxing power for school pur
poses; they find it safe because the
people are not given to imposing:
unnecessary burdens upon them
selves. The limit therefore of both
state and district taxation must be
raised. The child is the supreme
interest of the state; its education
is the highest duty of society.
Nothing is too good for our child
ren. In the light of what has
been said the movement to increase
school taxes is not a charity cause,
, but a wise financial proposition, a
! better investment than railroad
bonds or Standard Oil preferred,
ione which will declare ten years
hence from one hundred to one
thousand per cent dividend, Ar
kansas now realizes $50 or $00 per
bale for cotton: let her establish
cotton mills and we should realize
several hundred per bale; the pit;
iron of Izard and Independence
counties is cheap; convert it into
watch springs and it will be worth
13fs we'gl't in gold; our half million
raw children are riot worth much
.commercially, but educated they
are worth millions.
EDUCATION OR BIG GUNS.
1 )oes some one say that we are
already burdened with taxes f We
scarcely know what taxes mean.
l'he French peasants before the
Revolution paid eighty per cent of
their incomes to the Publicans, as
do the peasants of Turkey to day.
Our tax burden is less than half
what our European brother has to
hear. Will we refuse to provide
for our children when we appro
priate $25,000 for militia parades:1
Is the education of our children of
less importance, than battle ships
and fortifications (
The figures below show the rel
ative value which the great world
powers place upon physical pro
tection and education:
France, army and navy expen
ditures for 1 '.*05, #1*0,071,073; ex
penditures for public education
for the same year, $40,021,780.
Italy, (Central Government) ar
my and navy expenditures, $55,
130,454; educational expenditures,
$10,001,231.
Great Iiritian, army and navy
expenditures, $321,104,540; educa
tional expenditures, $80,083,135.
Austro-Hungary, army and na
vy expenditures, $01,055,540; edu
cational expenditures, $20,34 s,
083.
Stated in another form France
expends four times as much on
lrt;r army as on education, Italy
(Central Government) five times
as much. In Germany forty-four
per cent of the imperial revenues
goes to the army and navy, in
England forty-six per cent. Ger
many imjKise* a burden of $3.7h
per capita for big guns, England
$7.40. In the face of these facts
can we Uiast of our civilization?
When it is remembered how little
we spend on the culture elements
and how much on the destructive
forces of our civilization, we may
| well doubt die genuineness of our
Christian and Civic professions.
Arc we not .vet Lmrljn.nn.tis with a
veneering of civilization? More
lor fortilicalions and hiir guns,
than for education! Let us Imug
our heads for shame.
WHAT SHOULD ARKANSAS DO?
This message should come with
special force to Arkansas at this
time. She is at the important
stave in her development. W e
fail t<» appreciate her great natur
al resources. The list of her ag
ricultural products is ns long as
the alphabet. She ranks fifth
among the states in the yield of
cotton; she produced in 11*00
000,000 worth of farm products;
in the Ozarks she grows fruit
equal to the world’s best; and her
timber exhibit at the Fair took
the premium. Independence and
Izard are rich in iron, Johnson
and Sebastian rival Pennsylvania,
in coal; and North Arkansas has
the richest zinc deposits in the
world. The development of these
resources has already begun. In
1000 Arkansas had 4,704 manufac
turing plants capitalized at $35,
000,000, turning out annual pro
ducts worth $45,000,000. Our
gross receipts lor timber in 1000
were $25,000,000. Let us stand
erect and be proud of our state;
let us no longer poke about with a.
long lace saying, “The Federals
burned father’s barn, we are poor,
we can’t;” but instead let us face
about, seize our opportunities,say,
“We can, we will.” Let the spir
it of confidence of achievement,the
feeling that we are a great people
in a great state take posession of
us; let us rise to the occasion; theft
shall we be thrilled with th«
knowledge of glorious achieve
ments. Money and energy ex
pended just at this stage of our
development will be more produc
i tive of results than we can calcu
late,
EDUCATION OR SERFDOM.
Our state is at the turning of
the way, at a strategic point in
her economic development, on tho
eve of an industrial revolution, %
change from agriculture as tho
almost sole occupation of the peo
ple to an industrial condition
wherein manufacturing, mining'
and commerce will be important
industries. In a short time our
state, already crossed with rail
roads will be dotted with cities,
filled with foreign labor and smok
ing with factories. These econo
mic changes will bring grava
problems and will throw a great
strain on the intellectual and mor
al forces of our civilization. Am
we prepared for the change * Will
the native Arkansan fall heir to
his share of this increased pros
perity? Will Arkansas furnish
the captains for our industry, the
superintendents and the skilled
labor for our factories, horticul
turalists for our fruit region and
scientific farmers for our virgin
soil? Or will our sons and daugh
ters become the industrial serfs of
the country, “hewers of wood ami
drawers of water,” while the edu
cated Yankee comes and reaps tho
princely fortunes from directing
this economic development? W ill
