 terest Manifested in the Work.

 The sessions are held in the city high school from 8 a. m. to 12 m. daily, and the public are cordially in- vited to attend.
 The enrolment yesterday was seventy teachers The number m. creases daily. Many visitors attend.
 The program being followed is very interesting and is meeting with hearty endorsement and cooperation by the teachers. The work of organization took place Thursday, Superintendent Crockett displaying much executive ability in putting every one to work, himself included. Each day pro gram committee is appointed to out. line program for the next day. 4 leader and several assistants are ap- pointed to conduct the work in each subject. The leader acts as a teacher the assistants act as a class and thus real normal training is given.
 A pleasing feature of the program is an address each day by some prom inent public man. The opening day Rev. F. D. Scott. presiding elder Of the Methodist Church, offered prayer which he followed with an excenen1 talk on the relation of religion to ed ucation as evidenced in architecture, literature, art, etc, and true of all na- tons whether worshippers of God or pagan.
 Yesterdays opening prayer was led by Rev McCarty. After few classes had been heard, Rabbi A. B.mRhine member of the city school board, was introduced as orator of the day. His address on the position the school oc- eupies in creating the right social standards of living was interesting throughout and received much ap- plause.
 The leaders for the day were Mir. D. A. Crockett. Misses Kate Milan, Fannie Connolly, Christine Schafer, Clara Lloyd, all of whom acquitted themselves creditably, as did also their assistants.
 The program for today follows:
 Arkansas History-Charles Allison, iealer; assistants, G. H. Davenport (. E. Aiexander, Charles Lonten

On Repair of Roads.

State Highway Commissioner Mac donald is sending a circular letter 10 the authorities in towns and cities rel stive to spring repairing of roads. He says the past winter has been a pecu- liar one on account of the rain and mild weather with intermittent sea- sons Of very heavy frost, or snow, re quiring users of automobiles almost constantly to use chairs on their wheels. The result is maeadam roads show need of repairs but a little later on the roads will dry up and not ap pear as bad as al present.
 The general plan for repair is to re- move all coarse stone where ruts have appeared as soon as the weather set ties, scfape the width of the travelled road, moi touching the shoulders. and replace material that has schuckled oil on sides Of road. This is done be cause the quarries have not begun op- erations yet and quantities of stone cannot De had 50 the roads will have to be protected temporarily. Inch stone will be supplied to iii up nuts and foe marks prior 10 scfaping back material in which oil was incorporated iast season.
 In respect 10 the gravel roads. the shoulders should be pared down. In 90 far as the shoulder work is concern. ed, also cleaning out gutters, tne weather is hardly settled sufficiently to enter upon this line of repair, except perhaps in the towns lying close To the seashore where the frost disap. pears very quickly.
 il Is his purpose 10 furnish as liberal an allowance of money as possible for the repair of roads and To get into ac- tive operation as soon as possible. so that by the middle of May il Is hopad that all roads for which the state has contributed money in the original con- struetion will be put in first.elass repair. lie asks cooperation with he repair men and department in refer. ence To anything connected with lhis particular feature of state road works

mission stating when and where such fire may be kindled, shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars, or inn prisoned not mote than six months, or both.
 Cities and bofoughs were excepted because Of local fire fighting organiza- tions and regulations regarding the kindling of fires. Railroads are held specifically liable for damage to adjoin- ing property under previous acts, and have to burn over the right of way as a protective measure, employing an or ganized force of men for the purpose.
 The intent of the permit law k nol to impose hardship on any one, bat to give the forest fire wardeus control over ptlvale acts which are often pet formed under conditions harmful lo the public welfare. IIs enforcement should mean general recognition of the need for greater precaution in starting fires. When an individual secures a permit, the warden has an opportunity to call attention To the laws N hich hold him both criminallX and ciellly liable for any damage that may result, responsibility from which the permit in no way relieves the holder. To ensure safety he may also specify certain conditions with which the applicant must comply, such ss blowing furrows around the fire, having sufficient help at hand to control the fire, etc. A warden may refuse to issue any permits If the l weather remains very dry and windy, or 10 revoke permit already issued if conditions make fire particularly hazardous al the time indicated in the permit,
 The whole matter is one of coopers. tion between lhe individual and the fire warden for the purpose of reduc ing damage 10 property from forest | fires, and the expense o! extinguishing them. When in addition to the ex- pense Of fire fighting, the loss in prop erty value is considered, cooperation which will tend to prevent forest fires seems most desirable thing for tax payers. Every public spirited citizen whether an owner of woodland or not ] should cooperate with his local fire warden in this matter of securing per mits, thereby recognizing his own re. sponsihiIity and rendering the fire warden's duty less burdensome II brush must be burned il Is above all important that people realize the pos l siole dangers ana use good Judgment ] in the selection Of a day.

Little Rec Delivery WagOnMlkas Great
 Showing.

Later and more complete details of the recent Port Huron commercial car endurance run diseloses that the course covered twenty-five miles of heavy, rough, hilly and muddy roads between Port Huron and St. Clair, it having rained heavily on the two days ore. ceding the contest. Among the four contestants the Rec, Model 'sH," light delivery truck, driven by George ] Thomas, won first place by the tre- mendous margin of fifty-five minutes. The Reo's load, exclusive of the actual weight Of the car, was 1880 pounds and only two and half gallons of gas. oline and one pint of oil were used. This load was much greater than that of the Reo's closest rival, besides the Reo's ratio of gasoline and oil con. sumption was most favorable. The Rec was the only car;in this strenuous contest that negotiated the entire muddy route without having to be shoVeied out of the many deep mud holes ln the run. This is the fifth vie. tory which this powerful, reliable and popular light delivery motor truck has won within the last sixty davs.- Boston Post, April $. See adv. page ,.

wonder if your children have colds and if they caught them in your sehoolroom or if you are not interested in improving the attendance. If you get to the bottom just get away as soon as possible for you are losing op- portunities for yourself and money for the town while you are there.
 Think It Over Again.
 Tax payers do you realize that every time that pupil Of your town stays out of school for day that your town will be able to get just thirteen and eight ninths cents less next fall when you ask for your average attendance grant from the state? If you do, do you realize how much that will mean for the entire year? Here il is for the month Of March:
 Woodstock lost 483.5 days which means S60 II, Ashford lost DDS } days which means S29.9l, and Eastford lost l49 days which means so 69. For the month Of February Woodstock lost S5o.69, Ashford S47.50, and Easlford s2o 49. Al this rate, how much is each town losing each year?
 Which schools are losing the money? Those that have the low per cent of attendance. Which are making money for the town? Those with the high per cent of attendance.

April 30 Named as tuberculosis Day.

In accordance with plans just an- nounced by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- cuIosis, of New York city, and in con- junction with which the state tubercu- losis commission is working, April 50 has been set aside as "Tuberculosis day" and all the churches in the state and country are asked to observe the same.
 The Tuberculosis day of this year will differ in one respect from that of Tuberculosis Sunday of last year, in that instead of asking the churches to give the cause a special Sunday service, il is suggested that meetings at which the subject of tuberculosis and its pre- vention can be discussed, be held on April 30, or on any other day near that date, either the week preceding or the week following.
