coats are made long-waisted in the

Many of the collars are in military

sired. Fur collars and cuffs are ia
vorites. Sometimes the bottom is

 In Indiana, Massachusetts, O. hio and other states, the one room, one-teacher schools are being replaced by central school with half dozen rooms and as many teachers. Wagons are sent out every day to gather up the children and take them home again in the evening. All of the children within a radius of several miles are thus provided with the most modern school fa- cilities. In some of these schools courses, in manual training, ag- riculture and home economics have been introduced, scientific apparatus utilized and teachers having special qualifications and training employed.

Propose Power Dams.

Mountain Home, April 15.-C. c. Burton, who lately was granted franchises by the Ark ansas Railroad Commission to construct water power plants in the White, Norfork and Buffalo rivers in this section, is having preliminary surveys made of the North Fork.
 The first dam will be near the mouth of Otter creek. MT. Bur- ton said he would return to Mountain Home by the first week in May and that by the 1st of June he hoped to be able to start work.
 It is believed the company will build several dams, constructing the first one near the mouth of the river at Otter creek, the next one at the head of the slack water caused by this dam and so on up the river.

tending school on account of bad roads. Furthermore, many schools in the country districts are closed for varying periods on account of the impossible con- dition of the roads, and many of the schools which are not closed factors have nominal per cent age of attendance.
 While it is true that various factors contribute to increase or decrease the attendance at the schools in given sections of the country, it is worthy of comment that in the states having a high percentage of improved roads, much higher percentage of the students enrolled, regularly at tend the schools than in the states having a small percentage of improved roads. In five East ern and Western states which have a large mileage of improy- ed roads, the average attendance of enrolled pupils in 1908-9 was 80 per cent; while in four South ern states and one Northwestern state which are noted for bad roads, the average attendance for the same year was GA per cent 80 per cent in the good roads states as against GA per cent in the bad roads states. In the states first named, 35 per cent of the roads have been im- e proved, while in the latter group of states only 112 per cent of the roads are improved.
 That improved roads would benefit our country school sys- tenn, there would seem to be no doubt. Improved roads make it possible to consolidate or cen- tralize the schools and establish graded schools in the rural dis tricts. Such schools centrally To- cated will accommodate all the children within a radius of from four to five miles. In many communities having the advant- age of improved roads, commodi- ous buildings have been provid- ed, more competent teachers have been employed, and modern facilities for teaching have been supplied at minimum cost. For instance, since the improvement of the main highways in Dur ham county, North Carolina, the number of school houses have been reduced from 65 to 42, of which IT are graded and have two or more rooms, and employ two or more teachers.
 There are at the present time about 2,0O0 consolidated rural schools in the Unted States. It appears Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made the greatest progress along these lines, and it is rather significant to note that in these states about one- third of the roads have been inn proved. According to statistics of the Agricultural Department, there was expended in 1899, S22,- I116 in Massachusetts for the conveyance of pupils to consoli- dated schools, but in 1908 the expenditure for this purpose a. mounted to $292,213. In Indi- ana, the expenditure for this purpose in 1904 amounted to $86,000, while in 1908, $290,000 was expended. This expenditure for transportation reflects, in a general way, the extent and pro- gress of this new educational movement.

The increase, it is estimated, will add
