The human mind is unsettled in it's youthful stage. 1t requires train ing, and the school exists only for this purpose. Arithmetic was once supposed to be the best form of mind-training. It brought into full play the powers of reason and was placed first in impOr- tance. But experence proved that while the reason was, to certain ex- tent exercised, the memory was neglect ed. Again, the longest time and hard est work were devoted to arithmetic, and the other studies were disregarded. With all of these concessions the arith- metic lessons was not more than half learned. To-day the pupil delves deeper into the more intellectual re- searches of civil government. grammar, geography and reading. He can tell you now something about the destinies of government and people that hinge about Presidential election. He takes an interest not only in the doings of Mayor Pingree in Detroit, but of Mir. Cleveland at Washington, Mir. Glad stone in England, Senor Castelar, in Spain, Premier Crisei in Italy, and the young Emperor in Germany.

The Decline Of Arithmetic.

These facts about the decline of arithmetic as an education were gather ed from the principal of one of the local public schools yesterday. What he says applies only to the Detroit schools. though it would seem that the failure of what was ten years ago re- garded as the most important grammar school study might not be confined to the city limit of this metropolis:
 In the latter part of the '7Os and we'll along into the sos, he says, the pupil who was quickest and surest in arith- metic was also the quickest and surest to gain the esteem and influence of the teacher. He might be an ignoramus in geography, an undecipherable penman, slow to perceive the principles of gram mar, and a miserable speller; but if he grasped the point and pith of a catch problem m declmals or in fractions, his future promotion to a higher class) was assured.

A MAN is not qualified elector in Arkansas unless he has paid his poll tax. He is therefore debarred from serving on juries and taking part in other proceedings, where the requi- sites are the right of suffrage. Some of the circuit judges are enforcing this rule, and it will be applied all over the state. No doubt it will conflict with that class of men who are in the habit of standing around courts watching the chance to serve on the jury.

A SOUL FULL OF MUSIC.
Little Annie Dunn tho Musical Prodigy ef
 Los Angeles.

Little Annie Dunn tho Musical Prodigy ef
 Los Angeles.
 Los Angeles has musical prodigy. Annie Poindexter Dunn is the prodigy s name, and the violin is the instrument into which she pours her soul. She is now nine years old, but has known more or less about handling a bow ever since she was four.
 When most young misses are suck ing sugar plums or spanking their dol lies to sleep. sine was worrying with Rails cavatina and Opuses and such. Her parents were quick to appreciate and glad to encourage her wonderful talent aud secured the best instructors within reach.
 Before long she was much sought af- ter as a participant in musicales and and church entertainments, and inva- riably won round after round of ap- plause from those who could appreciate her precOciOus delicacy of touch and accuracy of rendition.
 Her father is the Hon. Poindexter Dunn, who for some time held a seat in Congress from Arkansas. Little Annie was given her first lessons at her southern home by Emil Siefert, and continued her studies at Washington under Herman c. Rakerman. who dedi- cated to her a slumber song. which she plays delightfully."-. In 1888 the family came to Los Angeles, and there she was given instruction by Harley E.. Hamilton. She has shown wonderful improvement, and is thoroughly de- voted to her music.
 Recently Edouard Remenyi, one of the worlds most notable virtuosi, visited Los Angeles, and. the child wonder played before him. The eccen- tric genius was charmed. and he wrote of the little one the following charac- teristic note:
 May 14. 1893.

TIE Christian Endeavor convention

TIE Christian Endeavor convention in Montreal last week, came near re- sulting disastrously to it's members, but for the prompt protection of troops and police. The comparing of Roman Catholicism to the idolatry of Hindoo- ism, and the assertion of delegate from Colorado, that ''the mother of Christ to whom the Catholics paid more homage than they did to God, was an abandoned woman," was the cause of the uprising of the French Canadians.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
ANOTHER SUICIDE.

The school board has settled the question as to its policy for 1893, and unless their action be reconsidered, we will have another farce of school-one room on the cemetery hills, and an other on the gullies of sugar creek. The funds will be worse than thrown away, and we will be no nearer an ideal school than we were ten years ago. There is strong interest felt in this question of better schools. It is yet an undercurrent, but it is coming to the surface gradually, and the peO- pie will sooner or later become fully aroused as to the suicidal policy which has been followed, blindly, for several years, and under which our schools have become the object for the jeers of the. public, and absolutely, detri- ment to Forrest City. The majority of the board seems to think that the people prefer to have any kind of school, to suspending for year and erecting 2 creditable building-one ill which good school may be built up and maintained. We are thoroughly convinced that they are mistaken in this, and that a large majority of the taxpayers prefer to suspend the school and build. We believe that some dem. onstration should be made by the friends of the building idea, and think that perhaps the mothers in Forrest City will take the matter in hand and circulate petition asking the board to reconsider their action, and take some step which will insure a good school. The writer was greatly pleased to read while in Chicago, the articles appear ing i'll TIE TIMES, on the school ques- tion. We were gratified to know that at least one person had become inter- ested so much as to write communi- cation on the subject. This week we have another from "a parent" We hope others will follow thick and fast. These columns are open to both sides of the question. We want to see the peo- pie express themselves. When satis- factory to do so have us print your name to your articles. It will be more satis- factory to the public. This is not nec- essary, however and we will be gov erned by the wishes of the writers. The women should take the matter up at once and let d demonstration be made which cannot be mistaken. It is sin and shame that the people of Forrest City should be compelled to send their children to such. schools as we have been having, and will con tlnue to have until suitable building IS procured, and the school conducted upon business principles.
 Since the above was put in type we learn that the ladies are circulating a petition asking the board to reconsider their action; that it is being signed by nearly everybody to whom it is pre- scented, and that at least three of the board will vote to reconsider. THE TINES hopes other members will do likewise.
