SCHOOL OPENING
The McCrory High School
opened Monday with the most
elaborate program ever given at
a school opening in the history
of this city.
-Lninier was sei vtu tu a,ii at
tending; the Wynne Band ren
dered excellent music and with
several numbers by home talent
added to the addresses of A. L.
Hutchins County Judge, and J.
W. Kuykendall Superintendent
of the Schools of Fort Smith, the
day was well spent educationally
and will have its effect in a bet
t^* understanding between par
ent, teacher and child. Almost
every patron of the district was
present and everyone seemed
well pleased with the new idea
of school opening which is the
result of Prof. T. W.'Woodbury’s
untiring efforts in which he was
ably assisted by numbers of our
gentlemen and ladies. The
school board is to be congratula
ted also on the success of the
opening day.
Judge Hutchins struck the key
note and was heartily applauded
when he said that the school
should be the center of all edu
cational meetings, and went so
far as to include the free use of
the building for the Farmers
Union where this line of industry

is organized. He stated that it
was for the best interests of the
school to have the patrons “get
inside the walls” of our educa
tional institutions more often as
it would undoubtedly make them
feel more interested. He gave
statistics showing the progress
being made in school work in
Arkansas and other states.
While this state is not doing one
tenth the work of other states in
educating its children, it is by
far ahead of many others and is
rapidly outdoing some who now
rank higher than Arkansas in*
this line of work. Numerous ap
plauds greeted Judge Hutchins
throughout his entire address
and we were glad to have him
with us.
Seperintendent * Kuykendall,
who is a candidate for State Su
perintendent of Public Instruct
ion spoke along the line of work
necessary to be done in that de
partment and he was well re
ceived and applauded during his
address. He stated that the
presence of a brass band at a
school opening was something he
had never witnessed before, but
thought it one of the best plans
he had seen put into practice.
He somewhat liked the idea, he
said, of having the festivities at
the beginning instead of the
closing of school. Hemet num
bers of our citizens- and will re
ceive a good vote no doubt at
McCrory in the coming primary
election.

GUARDIANSHIP FOR JOHN BULL
Perusal of London papers would
thoroughly convince a red-blood
ed American that Great Britain
not only needs a guardian, but is
very desirous of getting Uncle
Sam for its paternal protector.
The London press isn't satisfied
with the diplomatic victory Uncle
Sam won from Germany, but ap
parently wants this nation to
suppress German submarine war
fare in all its aspects and do for
Great Britain what Great Britain
apparently cannot do for itself.
Whenever John Bull receives a
body punch from some beliger
ent, London papers rise in sol
emn dignity and dramatically ex
claim: “What does the United
States intend to do about this in
famy?" The United States has
obtained the result it set out to
obtain, and if the British press
wants to further eliminate the
German submarine warfare,
there is a broad ocean on which
to perform, and Great Britain
has a great fleet constructed ex
pressly to carry out the nation’s
demands on the high seas.
No doubt the United States
would prove a very good guardian
for Great Britain, and we might
be willing to undertake the task,
but on condition that the British
government first is turned over
to President Wilson for a compe
tent administration.—Arkansas
Democrat.
