The Star is glad to announce that the Bank of Mena, organized and oper- ated by Missouri men and capital, will be open for business in the Biocksom block by May 6 at the latest. The projectors and owners of this bank have the endorsement and good will of Mir 4. E.

 Mr. J. Spencer Kelly, who will have the actual management of tho bank, spent q few hours here the first of the week and arranged the minor details preparatory to opening up for busi- ness, Mir. Kelly has been connected with the Citizens Bank, of Windsor, Mo, and leaves good business and thriving town to cast his lot in Mena.
 Mir. Qigley, whom we mentioned last week, and Mr. Kelly promise if possible to be here by the 1st Of May in order that they can accommodate our business men, and hope to be ready for business on that day but in any event the bank will be running Tn good order by the 9th.

mary school to do part of the work.
While Miss Baxter or Mrs. Drummond
leaves her own room to go up stairs TO
hear these pupils recite, her own work
practically ceases. The room is left in
charge of the janitor who, of course, is
wholly unable to direct studies. and the
room necessarily becomes disOrderly in
the absence of the teacher. Then, too,
the work of the eighth grade perform
ed by three teachers in this disconnect-
ed manner has been most unsatlsfac-
tory. Only part could enter the next
grade and these are not as properly
qualified as they should be. 1t should
be remembered that the work done by
this grade is most important. 1t en-
braces Just those studies which 60 to
make up good common school educa-
ton. Very many of the pupils finish
their school work here. For this rea
son it is most important that they have
the best of instruction, and this is i'm
possible under present conditions. The
only remedy for this evil is to employ
an assistant teacher, place her in the
recitation room which was made for
that purpose, and give her charge of
this grade. When necessary she can
take charge of the High School room
while the Principal examines the work
done in the other rooms which has
heretofore been impossible. Nothing
but good results could come from this
arrangement. No more room would be
required; the eighth grade would have
one teacher instead of three; the gram
mar and intermediate teachers could
give their undivided attention to their
own rooms; the Principal would have
time to supervise the entire schools and
see that each room is being properly
APPROPRIATIONS.
Your primary department is greatly
in need of supplies. Twenty-Five dol
lars devoted to the purchase of Kinder
garten material and busy work would
largely increase the value of the work
and make it easier and more satisfac
tory to your teacher and pupils. Work
in physics is hampered by lack of ma
terial. Fifty dollars wisely expended
would do much to remedy defect.
