Camp Schools Valuable

Health Is wealth, human life is in. valuable. A knowledge of sanitation and hygiene taught to two thousand ambitious young men, citizens of Arkansas, at twenty-one day camp school of instruction, where the men are paid for their time and all ex- penses are paid by the federal gov ernment is lost each year to Ark ansas by reason of the failure of the recent legislature to provide funds sufficient to care for the property loaned the State by the government There is much misunderstanding abount maneuver camps. The truth about modern military camp and the camps maintained by the Arkan- sas National Guard is that approxi- mately two thousand industrious young men from all walks in life are camped under field service conditions, where the medical department enforc- es modern sanitation and hygienic conditions to their personal satisfac- ton, assisted by the trained army ex- perts.
 The camp at Alexandria, La, in 1912 was maintained in a cleaner and more sanitary condition than ninety-nine per cent of the back yards in Arkan- sas. Although one thousand men were encamped there for twelve days, so clean was everything kept, by con stant use of soap and hot water, and by the rigid supervision which would not permit bone, bread crumb, slops, waste water or refuse of any kind to be thrown on the ground or re- main in the camp, that flys and mos quitoes were unknown.
 The officers and men never could have been persuaded that this was a possibility had they not been taught the secret. These men were taught the need for and advantages of right living conditions, and they saw the increased human efficiency which re- suited from such living.
 These men upon returning home will always, unconsciously or con sciously, revolt at the thought of open BUD JdTB, IcluSS duu SlOpb lIlIOMu D1l the ground near civilized habitation, undrained yards and stagnant pools. They know what can be done and as they gain positions in home and civic life will be ardent advocates of "clean up and live clean" ideals.
 Unless funds are raised to main tain the Arkansas National Guard pending the next session of the state legislature, the state will be the loser not only in cash but in knowledge, health and pleasure. The young men who make up the National Guard will be prevented from learning the les sons that are taught in these big can1T schools That is the reason that the governors of Arkansas have appealed to the pride and patriotism of the peo pie to help carry the National Guard over the crisis that has been pre- cipitated by the action of the last legislature

WHAT THE COUNTRY SCH
 NEEDS
SCHOOL

Much has been said and still more has been written within the last two or three years about the country school than almost any one subject that could be mentioned. This is as we would expect. The country school is just now finding it's place and claiming that serious study and attention at the hands of the school men of the country to which it is so justly entitled. We have at last surely and certainly come to recognize that our educa- tional problem is the country school.
 Many ways and means which within themselves are par excel lence have been suggested for improving the material or phys ical conditions of this school. Splendid results have come from these efforts to improve the country school, but the one thing most needful for the country school to-day is the "vitalizing touch of properly trained teach. eY."
 We will readily admit that oul country schools are sorely ir need of more money. This is ab' solutely necessary. Attractive and well kept school grounds fol our country schools, better build lngs, more adequate equipment and longer school terms must mean more money, but these things, while important, are only incidental to good school; fol beautiful school grounds, g
 
 splendid building, all possible equipment and an eight or nine months school term without g teacher. fitted and qualified by nature and training, are but the Framework of a school without the body, the skeleton without the flesh or muscle.
 Then an all important factor Tn the improvement of the coun- try school is the teacher. There are certain definite qualifications that every person who purposes

 NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2S. =
 Ex-Gov. Patterson made the fol ltwing statement tonight:
 ITO the Public:
 I am leaving for home tonight with Mrs. Patterson, who has been with me for two days. and before going wish to express He deepest appreciation of us both to the frie nds and those , ho were not my friends in the D ,st for their kind and generous ! sympathy.
 For my own part in this unfort- ,lslate affair 1 have no excuse to < offer, and have borne the con- demnation of my own conscience for the sorrow I unwittingly caus- ed those dearly love.
 My mission in Nashville was no5 political, as has been errone- lo,esly assumed, but purely legal, a. Il while awaiting the return of Ny Nall of Nashville. from Red Boiling Springs. who had in his possession certain papers which | was to examine, l began to urink, and continued until all sense of responsibility was gone.
 While asleep in partial stu DOT and alone in a house of bad reDute I was arrested with no knowledge whatever of the cause of my arrest and without a chance to communicate with friends.
 However gross my delinquency \ want the world to know that it IS my last offence, and the weak ness will never be repeated which brought upon me and mine this deep humiliation and gave my 4nemies and opportunity for re- 8Venge."

or offers to teach in any country school should have. This it seems is essential and vital. No teach CT should be employed to teach a school who does not sincerely love country life and the country boys and girls, and yet we now ind teachers in charge of some of our country schools who frankly say they do not like the country or the work in the country schools.
 . Then, too, every teacher who is employed to teach in a country school should know something about the farm and about the life on the farm. He should also be thoroughly familiar with plants and plant life and should know much about seed selection and seed testing. He should know something of the nature of soils and what crops can be most profitably produced on the different kinds of soil found in the district; in fact the teacher should have a practical know ldege of all the activities pecu- liar to the country and should be able to so plan and relate the work of the school to the every day life of the people in the com munity that there would natural |ly result throughout the com munity that active cooperation land interest that is so often a negliblr quantity.
 Then again the country teach CT should make himself or her. 1 self a part of the life of the com munity. The teacher should live,
 move and have his being among the people. The Monday morn ing to Friday evening type of teacher is not the best teacher for any school and especially for
 the country school. He should be
 one of the community and should
 be interested in every movement 1 for the uplift of the community.
 Daily contact and association
 with the people on the part of lthe teacher will afford opportun- lity to explain fully the work and
 plans of the school. From this personal work on the part of the teacher there should come a bet
 ter public interest in school and
 its work. Such an interest in the
 community will mean much to
 the school. With an awakened in
 terest on the part of the people l for improving the school condi-
 tions, the task is easy, otherwise l the results are doubtful. Finally
 shall repeat that the country Ischool needs a good country
 teacher-a teacher who loves the
 country and is interested in al
 things common to the country
 school. -J. L. Bond, State Sup
 ervisor of Rural Schools, in Ark
 ansas Teacher.

committees of the cities in whioh the banks offering such paper may be located. All commercial paper and bonds must finally be passed upon and accepted by the secretary"
 Approved commercial paper will be accepted as security for the deposit at 65 per cent of its face value, and high class state, municipal and other bonds, ex- elusive of government bonds, at l75 per cent of their market value.
 The additional deposits will be placed with the national banks 1 in the two or three principal cities in each of the states where harvesting is now in progress and where the demand for money for moving the crops most con- veniently can be met. The secre- tary said 1t would be practicable to scatter the deposits among the smaller towns. especially in view of the character of securities necessary.
 The banks will be required to return the money to the public treasury when the crops have have been
 l The present suggestion is, Mir. McAdoo said, that 15 per cent be paid in December, 30 per cent in January. 30 per cent in Feb ruary, 9 per cent in March next.
 Steps are now be ing taken to carry out the plan," added the secretary, so that the funds may be available for the move ment of crops. ;"
 Names of banks to receive the deposits and other details of the arrangements will be an- nounced later.
 The new policy is the antithe- sis of that adopted by former Secretary of Treasury MacVeagh who, year ago, declined to make deposits to relieve the tight money markets on the ground that the moderate surplus of fed eral funds at that time should be held as a reserve to be utilized at some possible critical stage.
 With the net balance in the general fund today amounting to nearly S132, 100000 Secretary McAdoo has taken the stand that the government should antici- pate the situation by placing de- posits where and at the time they are needed.
 Just as Secretary McAdoo was announcing his plan, Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, was issuing a statement declaring that unless Congress acted quick Iy tp provide an emergency cur rency, the cotton planters of the Sonth would lose hundred mill ion dollars through inability to get money to move their crops. He urged that some kind of res- olution be put through lmmedi- ately to afford temporary relief, and that the House Banking and Currency Committee t 0 p squabbling" and allow perma- nent currency legislation to be enacted.
 Senator Tillman expressad the hope that the committee would work out practical scheme to inspire confidence in the busi- ness people of the country SC they would lend money to the banks at 3 per cent on satisfac- tory collateral.
 Secretary McAdoo is we'll in- formed as to the business condi- tions in the United States and am willing to leave it to his good judgment as to what collateral shall be required. said the sen- ator.
 Right now there is an emer- gency, and unless Congress acts promptly within the next 60 days fthe Southern cotton planters will be robbed of a hundred million

automobile, in turning out DR..
Ewing thinks Mr.. Laws started
to turn to the left and then
turned to the right too suddenly,
and the car turned completely
over. Mrs. Tiedemann was un-
hurt, except for a severe shaking
up. Her little boy was uncon-
scious for a few minutes, but
soon recovered and seems none
the worse for the experience.
Mr.. Flowers was pinned under

badly sprained shoulder. and
other bruises. Mr.. Laws did not
know he was hurt until the ex-
tent of the others injuries were
ascertained. He then found that
he had sustained a severe injury
of the breast.
DR.. Ewing brought the party
here in his car, and they were
taken to DIR. WiedeRanders' Of
