there are no defects and the fruit
is at the right stage of ripeness.
Inc hrst efforts to raise canta-
loupes will, it is thought, prove a
complete failure here. Worms have
attacked the few that have matured.
and Kansas City cantaloupe expert
who went over several fields in this
vicinity yesterday, says he doubts
whether there will be any at all fit to
ship. The same trouble, he says, IS
aeing experienced at Russellville,
Iorrilton and other places. Canta-
loupes are scarce and high this year,
and if any escape the attacks of the
worms they can be marketed by ex-
press at good prices.

l23 SCHOOLS ARE
GIVEN STATE AID
TWO ARE IN FAULKNER
INCREASED NUMBER OF AP-
PLICATIONS GRANTED RE-
DUCES AMOUNTS GIVEN.

Little Rock, July 23.-The state
board of education has completed the
task of apport;oning the $4,000
state aid to high schools for the sec
ond year. An appropriation is made
for each county, and this year there
will be 1913 schools aided as compared
with SO last year.
On account of the increased num-
Der of schools, the amount given each
is reduced. The normal high schools
get 800 instead of 5000, the four
years high schools $500 instead of
500, the three years high schools
S400 instead of $500, and the two
years high schools $500 instead of
$500. Aid was gwen all applicants
except seven or eight, and it is be-
lieved that all except about thirty
that are ready for aid will partici-
Pate in the fund this year.
Last year there We're eleven state
aided normal high schools and next
year there will be fourteen, receiving
So, SEQ Of the $4,000 set aside for
that purpose. The $4,000 for gen
eral h gh school work is to be divid-
cd among 28 four year schools, 36
three year schools, and 45 two year
schools. This makes total of S41,-
Gee, and the extra 1000 is balance
brought over from lapses of last
year.
The Russe,lville normal was chang
ed to four year high school, and the
new normal schools are Eureka
Springs, Texarkana, Blytheville, and
Ell Dorado.
Attention is called to the fact that
in So out of SO state aided high
schools last year, there were 1923
pupils who studied agriculture out of
a total enrolment of 6,63S. Of the
% schools without agriculture in the
nigh school, nearly all offer this sub
jet in the lower grades Agriculture
lis also taught in Al unaided high
schools, but there are no available
statistics showing the number study
ing the subject. If the same ratio is
maintained in the unaided schools as
n the aided schools, there are at
least 700 pupils studying agriculture
in them, making total of over $500
out OF 1922 pupils in all the high
schools who are taking a course in
practical and theoretical farm
science.
1t is provided that all forms of
state aided high schools shall be
eight months, and that tuition shall
be free to all high school pupils and
teachers in the county where the
school is located. All schools must
enroll at least 25 if located in an in
lcorporated town and at least Is if
not located in an incorporated town.
Normal training schools must enroll
at least twelve students, and the 9TH
er high schools at least ten high
school pupils from outside the DIS
trict. All schools receiving aid must
have at least three teachers. All
schools must expend at least $25 an
nually for books of reference.
Faulkner county's allotment is:
Conway, $500; Naylor, $500. Last
year Conway received $7O0 and no
other school in the county was given
state aid.
