THE I MYKKSITY STRIKE.
Tlie daily press this week lias car
rled lengthy accounts of the strike of
the student body at the I'nievrsity of
Arkansas at Fayetteville. It 'terns
that the faculty objected to certain
criticisms made of the professors in
the X-Ray, a newspaper published by
the students, and this objection led
to the expulsion of the thirty,live
students connected with its publica
tion. Upon this expulsion practical
ly all the other students walked out,
leaving only about twenty-live at
their studies. Then President Till
man resigned, a meeting of the trus
tees was railed, and action on tiie'
matter is expected when that body
gets together.
The Times has received from Mr.
Ilulburt Yadakin. who was a puDil
at the Cniversity, hut who went out
with the balance of the students, a
Copy of the paper which precipitated
the trouble, and we print herewith,
an excerpt from the leading article
therein:
“The idea seems to obtain anv ng
certain of our respected ‘highbrows'
that the summum bonum of the
teaching profession consists in poun
ding daily into tlie student's ears tlie
second band plunder of higher learn
ing, forgetting altogether, it seems,
the decidedly human quality of the
victim. The Prof, as an evidence of
11is awful dignity elects to pass
tire students upon the street,
bestowing upon him about as much
cordial recognition a> one might ex
pect to receive trum an Indian cigar i
sign.
* * * -a-******
‘■This illustrates the attitude of j
many of our professors towards thei
students. The idea seems to be to
have as little as possible to do with
tiie student outside the lecture room,
even going to the extreme of refusing
to recognize him on the streets. But
this is strictly a personal matter, and
need not be complained of. However. ;
it is noteworthy that highest good i
done in the teaching profession is
achieved by those men who come in j
contact with the candidates under
their tuition. Certainly not the pen
sioned stilt who sits behind a walnut
stained desl and emits dry informa
tion to be written down in notebooks.
This very simple operation may he
cione quite as acceptably by a phono
graph.
* * n *
‘‘The chief compliment we can pay
to some of our respited mentors,
without crossing our fingers, is that
they know their subjects, hut what
does this prove? Is not the highest
good in teaching accomplished by be
ing able to teach and inspire, and i
not by merely knowing? Digests and ■
encyclopedias may play tic* part of 1
yielding information. Wherefore it is
with confidence that we make th*
statement, that as real teachers and
inspirers. of men and worried. we
have some of the finest negative
specimens in captivity. Instead of
being able to unfold a subject and
make it vitally interesting, they seem
to have an ingrained knack of making
it repulsive and impregnable. Their
efforts to educate result merc y in
making education distasteful and
hard to digest."
The paper contains several tie a
articles all well written and all ex
pressing a very condemnatory feeling
toward the faculty and most of the
instructors, one of the articles -ay
that a di(Terence is made in the treat
ment of freshmen, according to their
degree of wealth, influence or politi
cal pull, possessed b. said freshmen's
antecedents, nf course, we on the
outside, know hut little if the daily
life and trials of the young men and
women who make up the student
body, hut we d , not think that a body
of young people, such as this seems to
lie. would so solidly hack up man or
ltody of men who published the ar
ticles appearing in the \ Hay, with
out t here heir g good solid grounds of
truth and logic for the article' ole
jected to.
Another thing that makes us !*•
lieve that the student body is in the
right in this matter is the fact that
the sympathy of every graduate of!
the l niversity with whom we have
talked, i> with the striekers. and the
newspaper reports indicate that the
people of Fayetteville are with them
and thor uglily in sympathy with the
stand they are s» boldly taking.
And still another thing the minds
of young people are receptive their
impression of things or men are very
apt to In- correct, and slights,
imagined or teal, ate keenly felt and
as keenly resented, ilesides. we do
not oelieve that lids body of \oting
people, who are iu the main,'- aipus- d
ofc. r-.es diligent workers, who are
striving with might and main, with
every ounce ol energy with which
they are gifted, for an education,
would take such a decisive step with
out serious consideration and a firm
belief that they were in the right,
The trustees meeting is being held
today, and it is to be Imped that its
action may result in restoring har
mony to the institution and making
it what the people of Arkansas de
sire, a school where their sons and
daughters may tit themselves to le
good, true and valiant soldiers in the
life's battle and not what the Vllav
utterances lead one to believe, a
wouldbe education factory, which
turns out its finished pioduct of
Arkansas men and women, as a
machine would roll out its daily pro
duct. and with about as much feel
ing and human sympathy, one way or
the other.
J. 1.. MWSOMF FOR REI’RESEV
TATI V E.
In its proper place in this paper
will lie found tlie announcement of
Mr. J. L. Newsome wbo lias decided
to enter the lists as a candidate for
tiie ottice of representative of St.
Francis county in the next General
; Assembly, subject to the action of
the Democratic primary election.
Mr Newsome is a native of Tennes
see, of course, a lifelong Democrat
and is a it. S. graduate of tlie Normal
I'nlversity, >f Huntington, Tennes
see. He came to Arkansas atxiut
eight wars ago, and the last rive years
has t een spent in St. Francis county.
He lived near New Castle. where lie
was engaged in teaching school un
til about two wars ago, when lie
came to this city. Since coming here
lie has iieen engaged in the real es
tate and loan business, in both of
which lie has heen very successful.
Mr Newsome points to his record
as a man and a citi/en as his ix'st
recommendation, and besides, be
lieves tha» his experience and educa
tion tit him to serve tlie constituency
faithfully and well. While lie has
not as jet made public tlie platform
on which lie will make ids campaign,
but he assures the voters that his
every act, if lie is elected, will lie to
wards the furtherance of the best
interests of the people of St Francis
county, and that he will lie on hand
throughout the session, working with
all his power towards this end.
He hopes to lie able to see and pre
sent his claims to all of the voters
personally, but should any of them he
missed, he asks that, they take the
omission as an error of the head and
not of the heart and consider this
presentation of ids claims as a per
sonal appeal for their support We 1
recommend him to the good people of !
St. Francis county, and hope that
they will give his claim their careful j
c< msideration.
