THE COMPULSORY
SCHOOL LAW

Judge Thomas has received inquir-
les about compelling children to. at
tend school and we print in part Act
234: every parent, guardian or
other person in the state of Arkansas,
having charge or control of any child
between the ages of s and 16 years
shall cause such child to attend reg
ularly some day school, public, private
parchial or parish not less than one
half of the entire time the public
school the child attends is in session,
during any one year, or shall provide
such child at home with such regular
daily instruction during the usual
hours as shall be, in the judgment of
court or school board having compe-
tent jurisdiction, substantially equi-
valent to at least the instruction given
the children of like age and advance
ment at the day public school in the
locality in which the said child resides.
"The board having charge of a
public school in city or district shall
appoint for a period of one year, one
or more attendance officers to enforce
the provisions of this act. The fees
of said attendance officers shall be the
same as that of peace officers for ST.
milar service, and said fees shall be
paid from the public school funds OF
the city or district"
This is law partly, however, there
are number of provisions and every
district should have a copy that they
might thoroughly understand the reg.
ulations and enforcement.

The Art Of Becoming Popular
Ambition To Be Popular If Prompted by Purity Of Purpose, Calls
for Nobility Of Character and Kindness of Heart

Unselhshness. then, is the key
note to popularity. as it is the
key to the highest moral worth.
But this unselfishness must be
mingled with good sense, with
tact, with delicacy and refine
ment, in order to serve as an aid
to popularity.
Without these ingredients un-
selfshness and generosity some
times become obstrusive. Of
ficious. and offensive
The most perfect type Of popu-
lar woman is she who can shine
like the sun when sunshine is
needed; yet who, like that orb,
does not always shine, but retires
behind the clouds and calls atten-
ton to the brilliancy Of the stars
and the moon. One who can be
entertaining, or amusing. or in
structive, as occasion demands.
but who can always put herself
in the background in order to ex-
hibit the graces and charms Of
others, and who is ever ready to
rejoice in another's success with
out any belittling clause affixed
to praise.
One who can be tolerant of the
ideas and opinions of others,
while holding entirely opposite
ones; and who knows how to hold
fast to her own ideals while I'M
Outstanding how others may fail
to do so.
The popular woman has quick
perceptions, and, however great
her vogue, she is never blinded
by conceit to such an extent that
she fails to perceive her own
faults or neglects correcting them
one she sees them.
That which she finds disagree
able in others she decides to
avoid doing herself
And those graces and quail
ties which appeal to her in
others she cultivates.
To seek popularity for the sake
of being popular means the
undermining of character.
To seek II through a desire to
be a benefit, a pleasure and q
comfort to humanity means the
building OF character.

The pussy willow has brought forth its small gray hoard of
little dony balls Of blossom and the naked branches Of all the

ever ready with unmean.ng TAT
terry, but the reign of these social
leaders and lions is always brief.
Sincerity and tact are two quail
tiles which make for lasting pop
ularity
Sincerity in thought and pur-
pose, tact in the application of
that virtue.
The tactful person knows when
and how to be silent.
Many sincere individuals think
a brutal expression of the most
unpleasant and disagreeable
opinions is an evidence OF their
sincerity. But the tactful man or
woman knows when to speak and
when to be still and how to
change a topic of conversation
when some one has trodden on
delicate ground.
The woman who desires to be
popular should first Of all learn
the charm which lies in listening

art of drawing others out, OF
making those with whom she is
thrown shine to their best ad-
vantage.

Well Have to Excavate
for Old Maids
Soon.

Yet, believe me, in another
hundred years the anthropolo-
gists will be excavating in old
graveyards for the remains of an
Old Maid, or a genuine prehistoric
Lachrymose Lady in the Grape
which she wore in life, and ex-
petitions will be sent out to hunt
for the skeletons of old Grand
mothers, who had soft breasts
and big laps and deep pockets.
There are only few scattered
examples Of women of these
types extant now. living in re-
mote villages. There is none In
the cities. In little while they
will have all vanished and moth
ing remain of them but a ira
dition.
Take the old maid. There really
used to be such a persona thin
chested. anemic female, with a
sharp nose and a razor-edged
tongue. Disappointment at not
catching a husband had turned
the blood In her veins to vinegar
Dissatisfaction with the barren
ness Of her life that had no pleas
ures and no interests in it made
her find whatever zest she had in
existence in prylng into other
peoples affairs.
She was a mischief-maker, a
scandal monger, a flrebrand in
the community In which she
lived. She hated every man, be-
cause men had sighted her. She
loathed every wife for having the
things she did not have. she was
venomously jealous of every
young girl whose youth and
beauty reminded her of her own
lost charms, and she took bitter
revenge on the world In tale
bearing and gossip that wrecked
homes and blackened the names
Of innocent maidens. Everybody
hated her, dreaded her, feared
her She was one Of the pests
Of society.
Where is the old maid now?
Extinct Extinct as the Dodo.
Plenty of unmarried women there
are-more. perhaps. than ever be-
fore in the history of the world,
but they are no more like the
old maids of the past than a
glass of generous wine is like
a drop of vitriol

Such a woman, possessing no

and without beauty or great men
tai gifts, stands a far better
