Arkansas Teacher Under No Obliga
tons to Prevent Flirting.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. November g.
An Arkansas school teacher is under
no obligations to prevent flirting
among his pupils, and cannot be dis
ciplined by his school board even if
he encourages affairs of the heart
among the youthful charges. This die
tum, couched in dignif1ed legal Ian
guage, was laid down by the Arkansas
supreme court yesterday.
Robert Emil Roth, a Crawford county
teacher, had been hired for a year. He
was discharged after three months. be-
cause the board alleged he had disre-
garded it's orders to prevent flirting
among the pupils. The court held that
this was not sufficient cause for his
discharge and that the teacher is en-
titled to his salary for the year.

Hear of Destitute Orphans.

Then the girls. began reading of the
suffering and want and restitution
among the war orphans of Europe.
They read of the girls over there who
haven't even enough clothes to keep
them warm, and who have no shoes to
protect their feet from the frozen
ground.
Those little girls need shoes and
stockings a great deal more than the
Happy Six need badges said one of

siastically and unanimously, and the

paid in has gone to swell the fund that

accumulated pretty slowly, and nearly
a year and half elapsed before the

enough to buy the half dozen special

TINE art Of weighing has ex-
panded into a comprehen-
sive science and can no
longer be called a mere art.
Scales are made of metal, but
the set herein described is not
made of anything. Scales are in
hourly use that can weigh a PEN
cil-mark whose length is one
fourth of an inch; or a section
of a hair Of equal length. The
usual practice in weighing runs
from grains, ounces, pounds up
to tons, usually one ton, and then
up to fifty or more tons in rail-
road weighing, costing hundreds
and thousands of dollars.

An Entirely New New Testament

XXTHEN all is said and done
wv the Bible remains the
newest and most inter
esting volume in all the litera-
ture of the world. Its truths are
Older than protoplasm. yet its
thoughts are forever fresh with
the freshness of the morning. And
a new" New Testament is an
event
The latest is published by Hold
der q Stoughton, of New York
and London. From the mechan-
ical point OF view it is perfect.
The new" Testament is en-
tirely new. 1t is the work of an
oxford scholar, DIR, James Mof-
fat, famous in all the Christian
world. 1t is his own work. He is
under obligation TO no church or
society or committee. He is In
dependent OF other minds except
as the greatest scholars and
thinkers build upon the labors of
earlier generations.
He has sought TO translate the
New Testament into the language
of our day. He is not the FIRST to
do this, The 'Twentieth Century
New Testament" came into eN-
istence with the aVowed object of
speaking colloquial English. Dr.
Weymouths admirable transla-
ton, The New Testament in
Modern Speech finely bears out
the purpose set forth in its title.
DIR. Motfatt says of his own work;
u have attempted to translate the
New Testament exactly as one
would render any piece of con-
temporary Hellenistic prose" He
knows that to do this is ito chal-
lenge in every line the ryhthm
and diction of an English classic"
and to irrltate many To whom the
very sound of Bible phrases is 4
sacred thing. But he believes
that the work is worth doing. He
is right
1t IS perfectly true that such a
translation is heavily handi-
capped in competition with the
stately splendor Of the Bible lam

fact is that we are so familiar

Certainly she could have done
nothing to secure her own peace
of mind in keeping the other two
apart, and binding to her a man
who would hate her more and
more for standing in the path of
his desire.
The only dignified and rational
way to deal with a recreant hus-
band is as this woman has done,
and as a Kansas woman did, who
went to her husbands affinity
and said to her, For $3.50 I'll
give you a quitclaim to John. It's
about $1235 more than he's
worth, and l feel that l will be
cheating you in taking it, still If
you fancy him!"-
OF course, the woman who
hangs on to a man after he's
deadly weary of her and wants
to be rid of her always claims
that she does so because she be-
lieves she can win back his love.
No woman in the world is fool
ish enough to really believe this.
She knows that of all dead things
nothing is so absolutely dead as
dead love. For it there is no res
direction day.
Once the charm and illusion
that woman has had for man
is gone, it can never be conjured
up again, any more than you can
turn the shattered rose back into
a bud again.
1t is, of course, very, very sad
when a husband ceases to love
his wife, but when it happens she
can not alter the catastrophe by
hanging on to him. She only
makes a bad matter worse by so
doing, and she can save her face,
as the Chinese say, if not her
