BETTER TEACHING

Qualifications of the Teacher.
 The teacher is the determining factor in any school. There can not be a good school with a poor teacher.
 SCHOLARSHIP AND CULTURE !
 One cannot teach what he does not know. One cannot teach well what he knows i'm perfectly. First of all, then, the teacher should know the subjects to be taught, ought to know much more about them than is to be taught to the chil- dren. She must know much more than the school subjects.
 Her purposeds to lead them into an efficient life, hence she should have that degree of knowledge of life thai will enable her to lead the way. "A girl with a degree of culture found insone who has learned to read, write and figure. is hardly equipped to be a teacher Of children even. though she can do these things very well. l' 'gss
 A Knowledge of fife is obtain |ed by association with people who live on ahigh plane or from assimilation of literature which lis the recorded life of the great est and best. The high school is supposed to give the pupil that higher degree of culture. The least then that can be adequate for the teachers scholarship is the equivalent of high school education. M Y

THE voting of a road tax in Monroe county during the past many years has served only to produce a fund that on more than one occasion has brought shame and disgrace upon the county and has been the undoing of more than one good man as County Judge. With it all the tax payers of the county who have paid out these thousands of dollars to be wasted as has been done, can't point to a single road that is a bit better than it was before the tax was voted. Heretofore the siren song of the politician to induce the tax to be voted, has been, "the railroads pay nearly half of the road tax" This kind of talk has caught many and induced them to vote the tax, but this is poor consultation for others. The paying of thousands of dollars into this waste fund" each year by the people, just in order to force the railroads to pay similar sum is foolish policy. It hasn't got us roads nor will it ever. There's not a county in Arkansas or anywhere else that has secured roads by this system and its high time to stop it in Monroe County. Vote against the road tax and let's get a system that will give us real roads.

CarcaseS Should be Burn
 ed

There is more or less of an outbreak of Anthrax, or Charbon throughout this section. The history of the disease as given me will probably prove to be Charbon, but as 1 was unable to make a post mortem examination on any of the animals supposed to have died from that disease. am unable at the present time to make positive diagnosis, but. as a safe precautisn, all animals dying should be burned, as this will lessen the chances of infec- ton. fia st Rule l6 of the Live Stock Sanitary Laws of the State ot Arkansas, states that: "All animals dying from Anthrax, or Char ,on shall be burned.'
 This rule will be en forced in this section. pr. E. D. Me Knight, local Health Officer. is cooperating with the Veterin- ary Department for the enforce ment of this rule.

INTEREST IN CHILDREN

Argentine interest in the lives of children is quite as essential las scholarship. The teacher should find her greatest delight lin seeing the children improve in power and in character. The spirit of helpfulness which such an interest brings is one of tho characteristics of a superior teacher. It causes her to be ever on the alert to detect the child's needs and to supply them. NATURALNEss- ATTRAcTIvENEss This interest in children causes the. teacher t0-be. natural. and genuine in her work with them. It drives out the suited manner, attitude and voice that is SO pre- valents with those who aSsuIne that they acchpy ahe platformaas teacher, while the children are interiors who must be made te do their duty.
 TheFleal teacher is not stilted. but treats the children naturally, kindly and helpfuny. her voice and manner expressing unmis takably that she is living with them and working with them and for them. She secures the CO operation of the children and makes a show of authority in manner or word only in extreme and in frequent cases. 4r
 The teacher cannot be useful to the highestSdegfse unless she is respected and liked by her pupils. But the only legitimate means of bringing this about is to be genuine in her good will and efficient in her helpfulness.
 The. above is part of a report issued by State Superintendent Blair of Illinois.

WOMEN CANDIDATES

Miss Nellie H. Allen, of Globe,
Arizona, has announced herself as a
candidate for the nomination of
school superintendent of Gila county.
Miss Allen is democrat and will be
a candidate at the primary election,
subject to the action of the demo-
cratic party.
The women of Arizona are taking
a prominent part this year in the
campaign for the primary election.
In our own county of Graham we
have a woman candidate for school
superintendent, Mrs. Nellie Kimba.l,
and in Greenlee county woman
has entered the race for school su-
perintendent, Miss Lucy H. Purdum,
formerly principal of Stafford school.
There is no doubt but that the
politics of our State will be much
improved by the women taking
prominent part in the primary and
general elections, and the time has
come for the old hidebound politician
to wake up and get wise to the new
conditions, politically speaking, that
has been brought about through the
success of woman suffrage.

LIFE EAFUNNY PROPOSITION

Man comes into this world With
out his consent and leaves it against
his will. During his stay on earth
his time is spent in one continuous
round of contraries and misunder-
standings by the balance of our
species. In his infancy he is an
angel; in his boyhood he is devil;
in his manhood he is everything from
a lizard up; in duties he is an utter
fool; if he raises family he is a
chump; if he raises small check he
is thief, and then the law raises
the devil with him; if he is poor
man he is poor manager and has
no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest,
but considered smart; if he is in
politics he is CRATER and crook;
if he is out of politics you can't
place him, as he is an undesirable
citizen; if he goes to church he is a
hypocrite; if he stays away from
church he is a sinner and damned; if
he donates to foreign missions he
does it for show; if he doesn't he is
stingy and a tight-wad. When he
first comes into the world everybody
wants to kiss him-before he goes
out they want to kick him. If he
dies young there was great future
before him; if he lives to a ripe old
age he is simply in the way and Iiv-
ing to save funeral expenses. Life
is funny road, but we all like to
travel it just the same Exchange.
