School Notes.


 Contribute to the school library. Irving's Sketch Book was presented this week by Mrs. Geo. Howell.
 The library is great advantage, and is in daily use by the students.
 The thanks of the teachers are due to the parents for the regular and punctuaI attendance of the past two weeks.
 Free-hand drawing is now taught in six grades, This is very im- portant branch of school training. 4 systematic course in Hygiene and Physiology has been adopted and now forms a part of the regular course The care of the body is worth more than arithmetic and grammar.
 The folio wing are the officers of the literary society for the next term {: President. R. H. Kolb; vice presi- nent, Frank Smith; secretary, Miss Gertie Munday treasurer, Miss Della Baird; seargeant at arms, Ed. ". Harkey.
 l The school is by no means small and unimortant institution in our country The educational statistics of the census of 1890 show that the army of scholars in all our schools, is 14,000,000, nearly. About nlne- tenths are in the public schools, or to be more explicit, 12,563, 1894. Much is said about the public schools being a failure. Without question it is a failure, sometimes, under certain conditions and with some materials. l have observed:
 l. That it fails to store with use ful knowledge the minds of boys and girls who attend school, while thelr time is partly employed and their minds chiefly occupied with dane ing, juvenile parties, novel reading, roller skating, street gadding, the ater going, round town loafing or other like time killing amusements.
 ?. That it fails to make passablv fair scholars of pupils whose medi ocre abilities require faithful study at school the whole year, and whose attendance averages but one half that time.
 8. That it fails to give sym metrical education to those pupils who are induced by somebody's whims or prejudices to omit or slight the very studies they most need.
 A. That it fails to make orderly. obedient, courteous young folks out of those pupils whose home training and discipline have been so much and so long neglected that a stuff ciency can not be we'll supplied at public expense.
 These and like failures usually charged against the public school should properly be laid and left at the doors of parents and patrons.

A Slick sw,ndier.

Several days ago w. H. Rankin, Of the livery firm of Rankin X Oates, was yictimized to the tune Of $145 by a stranger who sold him pair of horses belonging to Ft Smith liv- cry man. The stranger claimed to be enroute to New Orleans to attend medical lectures, and had notes (forged of coursc) showing that he had practiced medicine in Logan county, this State. He told such 8 straightforward and plausible story and seemed so gentlemanIy that Mir. Rankin never once suspected any thing wrong. A few days after the deal telegram from Ft. Smith mak- ing enquiry for a stolen team was received here, and the fact was soon developed that MT. Rankin's medi- cal student and the thief were one and the same. The strangers name is believed to be Arthur Lancaster. He halis from Texas, where he trav- sled for Dallas music house. A few weeks ago he married Mss Susie Ball ot Lebanon, Ellis county, Texas, whom he deserted in Ft Smith. The desertion of his wife, and the cool and deliberate manner in which he deceived Mir. Rankin, marks him as sn accomplished vii lian accustomed to ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. Mir. Rankin is making strenuous efforts to apprehend the rascal, but his du- plicity was discovered 80 late that probably he has made good his es- cape.

The Emmet Henson Case.

Fort Smith Times: "The trial in the U. s. court of Emmet Henson, g young white boy, on charge of larceny, has brought to light pecu liar state of affairs. Last summer Henson was working in the Chero- kee nation and bought horse from Henry Hancock, making partial payment upon it. He borrowed a saddle and started to his home near Russellville, Ark. In Russellyille he met some horse traders to whom he sold horse aud saddle. He then started to his home on foot, when he says the men who had purchased the horse overlook him and saying they were afraid the horse was stolen, made him give back the money that he had received and also give blll of sale to the horse. The men, Buck and Finley were afterward arrested for robbing Henson. The owner ship of the horse and saddle were traced up and Henson arrested for stealing the saddle. The graud jury however indicted him for stealing the horse and also the saddle. Jef- ferson Dayls, prosecuting attorney of Pope county, is defending Henson, for without Henson's testimony 8 conviction cannot be had in the case against Buck and Finley"
 Henson was convicted on the sec ond count in the indictment and sentenced to thirty days imprison ment. He will be on hand to ap- pear against Buck and Finley when ever needed.
