STATE ID CONTINUE RUNNING CRUSHfR
DYE ISSUES STATEMENT
DECLARES OTHER STONE CON GERMS ARE AT BACK OF
 INJUNCTION SUITS.

Little Rock, Dec. 11.-ln the ab- sence of any court order enjoining him, State Land Commissioner R. C.. Dye, as chairman of the State High way Commission, continues the opera tion of the rock crusher recently started by him and Commissioner Kill gore. It does not yet appear who is the party really interested in the suit that has been started in Pulaski chan cery court to enjoin the operation of the plant and test the authority of the commission to operate it. Fred Holder, the taxpayer, in whose name the suit is brought, has no personal interest in the matter. Commissioner Dye made the following statement:
 "If we fail in the operation of the rock crusher it will be due to another defect in the act creating the high way commission. We are not at all surprised at the efforts of other rock crushing concerns and certain poll ticians to defeat our efforts to do something for the people. We recog- nize that it is an unequal battle, as Fthe state highway commission is com- |pelled to make its fight for the pub lie good without adequate funds against big corporations with unlim- Iited resources, supported by self-seek. ing politicians.

 The high school girls defeated the Normal girls at basketball Saturday night by the score of IS to 10. Our girls have good team and expect to be strong contenders for the state championship honors.
 New pupils enter every week. Old ones drop out, but on the whole our attendance increases. The total en- rollment for the year now stands at 569; for the present month it is 534. Sam Joslin and Charley Hamilton came back to school this week, after an absence of several weeks.
 The expression class is working hard at the play to be presented Fri day evening.

 The efficiency tests made throughout the grades show very unsatisfactory results. These tests are not exan1ina- tions. They are rather lists of easy questions that the pupil should be able to answer off-hand or to solve without the aid of pencil and paper. But we know where our weakness is and can work at the problem more intelligent 'ly. Having diagnosed the case, we are ready to begin treatment What is the trouble? you ask. The trouble is that our pupils are not thorough in the fundamentals. They do not add and subtract readily and accurately. They do not know denominate num-

bers we'll enough to handle them ef-
 fectively. They are awkward and in
 accurate in the use of fractions. They spell poorly and do not know the
 meaning of the words they find on ev- cry page of their books. Chiefly, they
 lack the power to read we'll Because
 they cannot grasp the meaning clear ly, all their work suffers.
 We are not complaining, nor do we wish to advertise the weakness of our pupils. They are what we as teachers
 have made them. We are giving this
 to the public that the patrons may
 know just where we stand and what we are trying to do. The task calls
 for patience on the part of the teach CT and cooperation on the part of the
 parents. It cannot be accomplished in day or in a year. Once habits of
 lnaccuracy are formed it is the work lof years-sometimes of a lifetime-to root them out. Oftentimes they can never be rooted out. But our patrons may rest assured of this, that we are working at the job with might and |main.
 The school sympathize deeply with Mrs. Burns in the great affliction that has come to her and hers. School was dismissed Tuesday afternoon and all the teachers and many of the pupils
 attended the funeral or burial. Dur ing Mrs. Burns temporary absence
 from her room, her work is being car
 ried on by Miss Cora McAnally of Tal- iihina, Okla, who is spending a few days with her parents in the city. We
 are greatly obliged to her for her time ly assistance.
 The following pupils are on the hon. or roll for November: Louise Gree
