Assassinated.

Albert Roach, aged about 30 years, was assassinated from ambush at a place about three miles from Dewitt, Arkansas county. People of Dewitt believe that the murder of Roach was the result of a conspir- acy. A gang of cattle thieves have infested Arkansas county for num- Der of years. Recently the leader, a man named Lacutt, was arrested and indicted for cattle stealing. The rest of the gang, it is said, believe that Roach, who was also a member of the gang, gave the secrets away and caused Lacutt's arrest. This it is believed, was the cause of Roach's assassination.

The Government Will Help.

Commissioner of Agriculture James Wilson has written as fol- lows to Commissioner of Agricul- ture II. T. Bradford:
 q acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of your letter of December 10. Whenever the experiment sta tion people of your state feel like moving in the matter of rice exper- imentation, We will cooperate with them to the extent of our ability. Financial assistance, however, must not be understood to mean the shouldering of the whole burden. We have not money enough for such purpose. We could find the proper seed, perhaps" The success of ex- periments made in rice culture in certain parts of this state has at tracted considerable attention, and this article will no doubt be exten, sively cultivated in a few years.

Duties of Examiners.

The following circular with ref erence to the examination of teach CTS has been sent by State Superin- tendent J. H. Hinemon to the coun- ty examiners of the state:
 Department of Public Instruction.
 Little Rock, Ark, Dec 13, 1902. To County Examiners:
 Your attention is respectfully called to the following suggestions:
 1. The law plainly states that no candidate shall be examined until he shall present receipt showing that the fee for examination has been paid to the county treasurer. There should not be the slightest deviation from this direction of the law.
 3. It is the purpose of the law to have uniform examinations throughout the state. Private ex- aminations should be rarely given, and then only when public necessity demands such action. A physician does not wait until he has "call." nor does the lawyer ,,,;ait until he has a client, before he secures a li- cense to practice, and the same rule 1 i of conduct should apply to those who seek positions as teachers.
 3. Every examination should be conducted in a business-like way, and every rule relative to the man. agement of the examination should be carefully observed.
 4. The law plainly names the studies in which teachers shall be examined. An examiner has just as much right to omit all of them as he has to omit any one or more of them.
 5. Candidates should not be i- censed unless the examiner has pos itive knowledge of their moral worth, or unless they present certifi- cates to that effect, as provided by law.
 6. All examination papers should be careful graded, and should be graded as the work of teachers, and not as the work of pupils. Good schools can be had only by placing the children in the care of earnest and competent teachers. The flu ture citizenship of the state rests in large measure upon the character and equality of the teaching force employed in the schools. The state has provided a county examiner for the purpose of protecting the chil- dren, and no feeling of sentiment or friendliness should be allowed to dissuade an examiner from the plain path of duty.
 7. In written arithmetic the work should appear. Answers only, whether correct or not, should not be accepted.
 S. The English, as it appears throughout the papers of the candi- date, should be counted against him if he is careless in construction, or if he disregards the rules for the use of capitals, punctuation marks, etc. If children are to learn to speak and write correctly they must have teachers who show their knowl- edg of the laws of the language by using correct forms of speech, both in speaking and in writing. 9. That it is unlawful to renew any certificate or to grant a license without an examination is clearly shown in section 1017.
