IT seems that Sate Road Com missioner R. G. Dye is having ar unreasonable amount of trouble over his rock crusher. The Courts have been appealed to stop the State Highway Com mission Rock Crusher. The State Highway Commission has had rocky road" of it ever since the Legulature created it and it does seem that they ought to be allowed to at least crush the rocks. If there is an arm of the state government which should be an effective one 1t is the Road Commission and 1t is to be hoped that the next Legisla- tive will crush all the rocks" that are impeding the progress
 of Arkansas road building boom.

 TABLE AND ATTRACTIVE
 At slight expense, with a little planning and work a school room may be sanitary and attractive. Floors, walls, and windows should be cleaned and kept clean. Chalk marks and cob-webs on the walls and windows are not very ornamental Waste paper should not be allowed to accumu- late on the floors or in the school yard.
 Polish the stove and stove pipe. See that all the out buildings are in sanitary condition. Do not allow puddle of water to stand on the floor where the children take water.
 Children cannot study in 8 room that is too hot or too cold. The teacher should not try to regulate the temperature of the room by his or her personal feel ings.
 Now is the time to replace all broken window panes. Mend the door so that it may be fasten- ed.
 l If your school room is clean, 1 comfortable and attractive the chances are that you will have a full school. You have then won just half the battle. Study to keep your pupils busy at some thing profitable.
