SHERIFF TO READY TO SETTLE

Little Rock, July 14.-Sheriff B. L.

ing to make his annual settlement

STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION MEETS
ITS DUTIES ARE VARIED
NEW BOARD WILL HAVE GEN
ERAL SUPERVISION OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Little Rock, July 1.-THE first
meeting of the new state board of edu-
cation is being held today in the de-
partment of public instruction. The
board consists of the following men,
bers: c. l.. O'Daniel of Mariana, Jno.
p. Lee of Clarendon, j. H. Reynolds
of Fayetteville, J. w. Kuykendall of
Fort Smith, B. w. Torreyson of Little
Rock and David A. Bradham of War
rem.
This board was appointed by the
governo rim accordance with the act
passed by the legislature, upon the
recommendation of the Arkansas edu-
cation commission. The duties of this
board may be stated as follows:
To have general supervision and
inspection of the public schools of the
state.
To make rules for the distribution
of any part of state school fund set
aside to assist and encourage schools.
TO prepare and distribute plans and
specifications for the construction and
equipment of schools.
To provide suggestive courses of
study for rural, elementary and high
schools.
To prepare all questions for teach
ers' examinations, to grade all exam
nation papers and to prescribe all
rules and regulations necessary to
carry into effect the provisions of the
law regarding the certiication of
teachers.
To propose plans for the organiza-
ton of institutes.
To prescribe rules and regulations
for the sanitary inspection of school
buildings, and for the examination of
pupils in order to detect contagious
and infectious diseases and physical
defects, and to take such other action
as may seem necessary to promote the
organization and increase the eff
eciency of the educational system of
the state.
At today's meeting of the board
scarcely more will be done than to or
ganize and discuss in a general way
the provisions of the law, and what
may be accomplished by its proper ad-
ministration. An examination of the
bieEnial reports of the state superin-
tendents of Arkansas since 1868
shows that many excellent reforms,
tested and approved by the experience
of other states, have been urged at
disjointed intervals by the various in
cumbents in office 1t is this lack of
continuity that has weakened the
work of the department of education,
and it is this fault which the board
is designed to remedy. 1t is proposed
that the work of this board will save
the legislature the expense and
trouble of much petty legislation.
Forty-two other states have such
boards, and the educational interests
of Arkansas feet that this state has
made very great advancement by the
creation of an adjunct of the depart
ment of education. Alabama is now
left as the only state having no board
of education in the south. One new
member is appointed each year on the
Arkansas board, which insures con-
tinuity of policy that should make for
the upbuilding of the school interests
of the state.

JOHN DUNAWAY WRITES
ABOUT WESTERN TRIP

Salt Lake City, Utah, July s,

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 8,
Editor Log Cabin Democrat BY
the good graces and liberality of our
children, after as years of married vi
cisitudes, and my wife are taking
our wedding tour-being planned and
paid for by them.
We left home on the 9Th and arrived
in this city at p. M, the 9Th. Leav-
ing off everything on our trip to Pu-'
eblo, Colo, we started from theer at
5:25 p. m. yesterday. In about an
hours run we entered the great gulch.
through which the railroad runs. 1t
is about so feet wide and walled in on
both sides by rock, said to be 1000
feet high. The Arkansas river was
on one side and the railroad on the
other. The river here is but a small
creek. This gulch, or gap, is seven
miles long, but the rocks are not so
high up all the way, but all the way
the tops are too high to be seen from
the car window. Passing into this
gap was like going into tunnel, and
night came on and closed our sight
seeing until this morning.
At daylight the first thing l noticed
was the Colorado river and the rail
road occupying the same position, ex-
cept the gap was wider and the rocks
not so high, but the railroad bed is
cut out of the sides of teh mountains
and the river is usually on the other
side of the gulch. For so miles the
scenery is about the same. After this
we have change and the ground is
nearly level, with high mounds of dirt
and gravel. These mounds are proba-
bly, 100 feet high and resemble lot
of huge elephants standing on bond
feet with heads and ears to form
basis for rock houses on top with
natural doors and windows and at
distance resemble four or six-story
building. These freaks of nature are
from so yards square to a quarter of
a mile. These mounds seem to be linn
itless, for as far as the eye can see ON
either side of the railroad the picture
is the same. Nothing grows in this
valley-not even weed-for miles. |
haven't seen but three birds or fowls
of any kind for 200 miles, and they
were crows on the wing. We passed
through short tunnels during the day.
These mounds and valley land, after
miles of travel, gave way and we en-
tered another gulch, having left the
river. On entering this gulch we
passed through Castle Gate. The rock
on either side was about 300 feet high,
but rather thin, and these were set on
top of high mountain. We have
been going up hill for many miles
and the train made slow time, but we
started down afternoon and the train
made good time. A few spots of ir-
rigated land were all the crops that
are growing in this wonderful desert.
Alfalfa, sugar beets and vegetables
are the crops in these parts.
Before reaching Utah Lake, which
was west of the railroad, these noun
tains gave way to lovely valley of
good land, growing fine crops of wheat
and oats, sugar beets, alfalfa and veg
etables. Some nice towns in this val

writer in American Medicine. They do
not bear acute illness 50 we'll, and ac'
cidents to them are likely to be more
severe.
Risks over the allotted limit Of
weight are especially liable to dia-
betes. heart affections, apoplexy, govt.
diseases of the kidneys and arterio'
sclerosis; excessive eating and abuse OF
alcohol are common among this class.
It is stated that stout men under forty
are worse risks than those over forty
and under sixty. and that men who
were unduly fat while they were boys
are considered poor risks. especially II
the tendency Is hereditary.
Stout men are better average risks
than their very thin brothers who are
liable to tuberculosis and disorders OF
the nervous system. But for even the
