full. The High School department num-
bers near 40 pupils. The other depart
ments are still larger. The tendency to
rise above the three Rs and ascend TO the
plane OF a higher culture is evidenced by
the fact that about 40 pupils are taking
German and about the same number study
Latin. The music class makes a very cred
liable showing and numbers between Is
and 20 pupils. The class i'm Elocution
has made good beginning, and the
Business department is growing. All
things considered where can we find a
finer showing in school work? The,Board
of Trustees very wisely concluded that
school buiiding-a first-class building-is
the first consideration in a school enter
prise. As a result it would be difficult to
find anywhere a finer or more conveniently
arranged structure for school business.
Another result is that under the present

when pupils by the car load were shipped
from Texas and elsewhere across the
river to the Eastern states to find school.
Let the tide now be turned and we shall
have an influx OF pupils from the east to
our town. Nothing SO builds up town
as a first class school. 1t improves the
tone and culture OF its citizenship, brings
in population and with this comes an in
crease of business and money. So that
fine school not only gives better and a
higher education, it adds population and
dollars and cents to place. People will
move to good school. Every citizen,
even he that has no children. is interested
in the school and its prosperity. Why?
For the plain reason that it builds up his
business and puts dollars and cents into
more cultured people. All success then
to the noble institution of Forrest City.
Nothing is so valuable to the student as

Questions of History. Science and Liter

A chance at fairly good library is a
fairly good chance fer a liberal course of

Self-culture must supplement any
course of instruction given by the schools

itself. but standing alone ii leaves the
scholar open to the charge of narrowness.
ton is to induce growth of the mind pow
ers rather than to impart any very great
amount of valuable knowledge. Knowl-
edge and culture rather follow as a result
of the use of the forces gained by system

Access to the book is a condition in the
problem of scholarship which must be
considered and met before a solution can
be effected. In this day of cheap books.

every city and town would provide a
library for its schools. The cry comes
