 New Law Provides for Consolidation
 in Arkansas.
 The Legislature of 1911 passed an act providing for the consolidation of school districts in the state wher- ever the people desire to avail them selves of this privilege. It was thought that consolidation should be permissive and not mandatory, hence the Act provides for permissive con- solidation. The Act was very care fully drawn after close study of the consolidation laws of number of other states. The law is plain, prac- tica1 and safe one and will no doubt be taken advantage of by many school districts of the state desiring by this means to bring about better school conditions. There can be no doubt of it's practicability where conditions are at all favorable. For information, the consolidation law is given in full on the concluding paragraphs of this bulletin.
 How to Consolidate.
 Two or more districts under the provisions of the consolidation law, maye be formed into consolidated district as follows:
 1. A petition must be presented to the Board of Directors in each dis trict to be included in the proposed consolidated district.
 2. The petitions simply requests that the subject of consolidation be submitted to the voters of the cleo tors of the district.
 8. Petitions must contain 10 per cent of the electors Tn the district. It would be wise, where possible, for the petition to contain a majority of the names of the electors.
 4. The Board of Directors will then submit the question to vote of the electors at the regular annual school election or at a special election called by the directors of each district for that purpose.
 5. If the question is submitted at an annual election, notice should be given of the same in regular annual school notices to be posted in the district, 15 days before the election.
 6. If special election is called, notices of such election should be posted in at least five public places in the district and by posting no- tice at the school house. Notices to be posted at least five days before the election, which special election

Such schools add to the attractive ness of country life.
 What Consolidation Means.
 1. More weeks of schooling and a higher grade of instruction for your children.
 2. Better school buildings in your community.
 3. Better teachers will be employ ed as the district will be able to pay better salaries. Better teachers will mean better schools for your children to attend.
 4. A large saving In the cost of educating your children.
 5. A school in your community, equipped for efficient work.
 6. Affords an opportunity for en- riching the course of study in your school by the addition of special sub-

abandonment of schools in the country and the transportation of pupils to the town schools, as some have thought, but on the other hand it is the plan of maintaining one central school, which may be in the country, with it's area of patronage conform ing to the natural boundary lines of streams and mountains. Consolida- tion is a safe, sane, practical work. ing plan that has made the rural schools in many communities of other states equal to those iE the towns and villages or more favored localities. In those states where the plan of con- solidation cf schools has been care fully worked out with transportation of children to and from school at pub lie expense where conditions and dis tances demanded, it has proved emi- nently successful. Reasons for Consolidation.
 The following may be given as a few of the many excellent reasons for consolidation:
 l.. It increases the percentage of enrolment.
 2. Transportation prevents tardi- ness of pupils.
 8. Pupils are better classified and better graded.
 4. Pupils are in charge of respon- sible persons while going to school and while returning.
 5. Pupils are taught in better school houses, where modern methods of heating, lighting, and ventilation | conserve health.
 6. The larger central school pro vides opportunities for efficient work in special branches such as agricul- ture, manual training, music and draw l ing.
 7. Fewer teachers are required | better teachers are secured and higher salaries are paid.
 8. Consolidation enables the pupils to select their studies from wider range of subjects.
 9. The cost of the school to the district is reduced. Two instructors working together can teach more stu dents efficiently than three instruc- tors working independently in sepa- rate schools, because the classes are not duplicated.
 10. The length of the school term is increased without extra cost to the public.
 II. The pupils are benefited by having wider circle of appropriateness. ] The varied interests of the large school develop enthusiasm, interest | and confidence.
 12 Transportation makes feasible the daily distribution of mail through out the entire school district
 13. Consolidation makes it prac- ticable to add high school branches to the course of study.
 IA. Consolidation builds up large schools in the country, thus giving the rural school districts the educational advantages of centers of population.

 and Women.

Pierce, Neb.-Mrs. Dollie Schilow. sky, of this place, says "Cardui did me so much good! I had dreadful backache and dizziness, and suffered from pains in my eyes and in the back of my head, as well as low down in my body.
 Sometimes, it seemed like I would die with the pain. I was compelled to see the doctor, but he did not help me.
 At last, I began to take Cardui, and three bottles gave me great relief. My health is getting better every day.
 I can recommend Cardui to suffer- ing women, for it helped me wonder fully. IL is wonderful medicine"
 Other women, who suffer as Mrs. Schilowsky did should learn from her what to do. to be relieved. Take Car dui.
 For women's pains, for female troub- res, for nervousness, for weakness il is the best remedy you can use, the most reliable you can obtain.
 For over 50 years, Cardui has l. helping weak and miserable woE back to health and happiness. T many years of success prove merit
 Pure, strictly vegetable, perff harmless, Cardui is sure to help will leave no disagreeable aft fleets. Try it.
