The Rural Letter Carriers Associa tion of Arkansas held it's annual meet. ing al the state house in Little Rock, September 3. The attendance was small owing to the fact that it was election day. but those present took up their work enthusiastically and made plans for increasing the mem. bership of the association and eXtcnd- ing it's usefulness in many directions The association adopted a resolution declaring it's belief in the importance of good roads and Its appreciation of the fact that good roads and the rGsal free delivery go hand in hand. Be lieying that the only way to educate the public on this question is through the public press it was decided to ask the various county papers to deve' space to the discussion of the ques- tion and to ask patrons and friends of good roads to contribute to the de- partment of the papers. Another re- solution Was adopted asking the neyt General Assembly to pass a law reGlir ing road oYerseers to work ell roads
 
 ed in preference to others. A resoll ton was adopted extending the thanks of the association to Post. master General Cortelyou. Fourth As. slstant Postmaster General peGraw and Senator Clay of Georgia fer the granting of six holidays each year, together with fifteen days leave of absence with pay The thanks of the association were also extended to Post master Holt of Little Rock and his assistants, and 10 the officers of the association. Little Rock was selected as the next place of meeting.

A hearing child can learn to make it's wants known with out ever seeing the inside of a school room by hearing other people talk and learning 10 talk from them just as We all learned but a young deaf child can not dc this He can not hear others talk and, therefore. does not learn 10 talk. He can not make his simplest wants known, except by his crude signs which his constant companions alone understand. He is shut out from all the joys that we get from conversation with our fri nds He becomes sad and morose and. breeding over the neglect of his friends. he becomes hgh=tempered. His parents not being able .o tell him the difference between right and wrong. he is then real danger to his community.
 Send him to school and all is changed. He is taught the difference between right and wrong and to choose the right He learns that oth- CTS have rights and to respect these rights. He soon learns to write SC that he can carry on q conversation with his friends. He brightcns up and begins to enjoy life He is taught trade besides his book learn ing, so that he makes a living for him. self after he finishes school. Many support other relatives.
