this year, I and 1T.

Algebra will be taught in the eighth grade this year. It is our purpose to have geometry in the tenth grade later, and this change is made to give the pupils two years of algebra be- fore reaching that grade.
 As the present ninth grade have al- ready had science I, that subject may not be offered. Physical geography will be dropped from the course for the present
 Advanced arithmetic has been changed from the ninth to the tenth grade. It will be taught the latter part of the year. Those ninth grade pupils who lacked only this subject of passing into the tenth grade will be enrolled in the tenth grade in full standing.
 No credit will be given for one year of Latin or of German, unless the pu- pil has two units of credit in the other AoAC16A lduSOdSc OucIcO. TUT Ill., stance, pupil with two Latin credits can get credit for single year, of German.
 A certificate of graduation will be given on the completion of either the Latin or the scientific course. Ger tificates of proficiency will be given specials on the completion of any number of subjects. But no recom- mendation for admittance to college or the Normal will be given to pupils having an unsatisfactory record. Pu- pills who habitually give the school trouble, those who merely drag through the course, and quitters, will get no recommendation.
 A higher standard of work and con- duct will be required of high school pupils than of those in lower grades. Noblesse oblige. You will be expect ed to work and conduct yourselves as men and women; do that and we will endeavor to accord to you the same consideration.

 "This inspection has been ordered by the government and we have to make up, if possible, a government property deficiency of something like S12,000. So please gather up all kinds of equipment and have it in your company armory in order that it may be easily checked. Get all of the old guns, uniforms and other government material that you can find
 "A very important feature of this inspection is that you must have your company books made out in god shape, giving account of all drills that you have had during the year. It is es- pecially particular to have placed on this record all government equip ment that you have received while in office.
 If you have neglected keeping your company record, please give this your immediate attention and have your company record book in as good shape as possible before the inspec- tors get to your town, for this is one of the important features together with the counting of as much prop erty belonging to the government as you can possibly show up.
 Bear in mind that we now have 8 national guard pay-bill pending ir congress, whereby, if the government still retains the Arkansas Nationa Guard, we will receive our prorats appropriation for both officers anc men, which will be paid to us by tht government each month"

WHY NO "HELlO" MEN.
Women Alone Have Enough Patience
to Be Telephone Operators.

Patience has its reward not alone
in heaven, but in every telephone Of
flee 1t is exchangeable for salary,
A group of Chicago women, com
posing the Chicago collegiate bureau
of corporations, learned this a few
days ago from j. S. Rice. manager
Of the American Telephone & Tel
egraph company.
He told them that girls and women,
possessing more patience than men,
could obtain salaried positions with
telephone companies that men could
not get If they worked for nothing
He explained why there were no
hello men,"
1--WE wouldn't have man for a
telephone operator at any price" he
said. He has little or mo patience
He is neither as even tempered nor
as courteous as a woman. That's
why all telephone operators are girls
"A man atthe switchboard would
squak harsh words to the subscriber
who question his statement that the
line is busy" he said. "He would
SAY rude things to young folks who
did courting by telephone. He would
utter $50 words in the ear of the
impatient telephoner who jiggled the
receiver hook.

May be Means of Absorbing
Disease Germs in Most
Unexpected Manner.
Bid Farewell to All Blood and Skin
Diseases,

The research laboratory Of TIE Swift
| Specific Co. has collected a vast amount
Of information regarding the spread Of
blood diseases. In thousands of instances
the most virulent types have been the re-
suit Of coming in contact with disease
germs in public places, and the apparent
ly insignificant pimple has been the
cause. 1t Spreads with astonishing ra-
pidity, often injecting the entire system
in few days.
1t is fortunate, however, that there Is
a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such a condition, and thanks to the
energy Of its producers the famous
S. S. s. may now be had at almost any
drug store in the civilized world.
This preparation stands alone among
specific remedies as blood purifier. 1t
is somewhat revolutionary in its compo-
sition, since 1t accomplisheS all that was
ever claimed for mercury, iodides, arsenic
and other destructive mineral drugs, and
yet il is absolutely a purely vegetable
product. There are more cases of artic-
ular rheumatism, locomotor ataxia, pa
resis neuritis and similar diseases result
ant from the use of minerals than from
disease germs direct. These facts are
brought out in a highly interesting book
