WHOLESALE TRADE
 IS PRECEUENTED

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The best in- dication of improved trade conditions
 is the unprecedented rush in the Lit tie Rock wholesale houses. The dry goods concerns have been forced to entirely restock, something never re- quired of them before The machin- cry and hardware houses are loading
 from cars received into ears going
 out, without ever having the goods in
 the houses. The grocery houses are
 worl,ing night shifts already, and all other lines are rushed accordinly by the heavy buying.
 The best indication of all, however, is the way the country merchants are liquidating their accounts, practically every wholesale house in the city re- porting notes not due until December
 and January as being paid and the out of own. customer saves the in terest.

GRANT @. ROAD
 DISTRICT UPHELD
COURT SUSTAINS STATUTE
PASSED BY LEGISLATURE. GRE ATING HIGHWAY IMPROVE
 MENT DISTRICT.

Little Rock, Oct. 12.-Tn the case of Nall vs. Kelley, from Grant county, the supreme court has sustained in all things the validity of the special act creating the Grant county road improvement district.
 The bill was introduced in the last legislature by Representative F. R. Posey, establishing a district seven miles wide and 28 miles long, across Grant county, for the improvement of the Pine Bluff, Sheridan and Hot Springs highway. Only the prelimi- nary work was done when it was tied up by the suit. The road will cost $150.000. It has been vigorously fought by large number of citizens.
 After the organization, certain property owners brought suit to en- join the board from preceding with the construction of the improvement, the levying of assessments and the is- suance of bonds The complaint seems to have been so framed as to consJi- ute an assault upon the validity of the whole statute. In every point in (which the act was attacked, 1t was sustained, and these rulings will have a bearing upon similar issues in cases involving other special acts.
 The court holds that the act is not void because it includes property ir an incorporated town without obtain ing the consent of the majority ir value of the property owners. It is also held that the law does not in wade the jurisdiction of the munich pality by authorizing the improve ment of a highway which constitute; one of it's streets. The statute is completely put into force by the leg islature and nothing is left to the board so far as completing the enact ment There is also nothing in the contention that the act is void be cause it fails to provide for the com missioners to take an oath of office nor is it void because evidence show: assessments invalid on account of { lack of uniformity.

MT. VERNON.

Two frosts have fallen, the last a very hard one. The leaves on cot ton and potatoes in most places are dead. Late cotton Is badly damaged. Quite lot of the late sorghum is still uncut. Quite a number are sowing wheat, and some oats and rye. Late hay is generally very good. If every farmer would SOW five to 10 acres in wheat the bread question would be solved for next summer and many benefited.
 Cotton is being moved rapidly now and many are taking advantage of the good price, about 13 cents, but some are. yet holding for 15 cents and up ward. The crop is short here.

EXPLAINS METHOD OF
 GRADING IN SCHOOL FEW PUPILS CAN ATTAIN MARK OF "E," SUPERINTENDENT
 WOMACK SAYS.
BY SUPT. J. P. WOMACK.

I wish to explain our method of grading in order that parents may understand better the significance of their children's grades from time to time.
 We mark all work F, G, P or F. An E pupil is one who seldom if ever fails to do perfectly the work assign ed him. There are 20 lessons in each month in each subject. Before a pu- pil is entitled to a grade of E, he should prove his mastery of at leaso 19 of the 20 lessons. Two poor les sons. or two lessons missed and moi afterwards made up fully to the sat l i5faction of the teacher, is enough to make a grade of E impossible. As a matter of fact, only about one pupil in 20 can make E. This is the stand ard maintained in many schools. We do not limit the number Of E to 9 given percentage of the class, but the ratio named is about the correct one.
 In the matter of department, !
 means practically perfection. A pa- ! pil who has to be corrected more than once in a month for misconduct, or i failure to do his work promptly and properly, is not entitled to an E ac- cording to our standard.
 Next in point of honor is the grade of c. 1t goes to pupils who rank high but cannot quite attain the marx r.. A G means that the pupil has done r out ot 20 things asked of him. 1t takes r perfect lessons in montn to win this mark. ALcut fou" CT five out of the 20 pupils may reasonably expect this grade. Last year the per centagc was little higher than this estimate-30 per cent.
 Ih,, great majority of pupils earu the next grade, which we call r. Ih!5 is the passing grade only. Taking the schools of the United States as a whole. it is estimated that from At to 50 per cent of all public school pupils should be graded P. Such grade means that the pupil has done average work. It is creditable grade no one need blush for P unless he knows he might have done better Ii
 he had tried. Many pupils cannot dc
 better. Take our carpenters, pant CTS. paper hangers, plumbers, law, vers. teachers, doctors, preachers
 salesmen, farmers-any class of work
 men or professional men you Wlll
 and you will see that the great ma
 iority of them are just 'P's." They "get by" and make a living and some times something over, but they never
 take high rank. The great ones arc } scarce. So in school, which IS a little
 world in itself.
 Parents should study their childrer as we'll as their grades and discover whether they are peculiarly gifted either with ability of with enthusi asm and industry-which is better than just ability. Don't question the fairness of a grade without good req
 son. If the average teacher marks wrong, ten to one it is in marking toe
 high.
 The grade F means, of course, thai
 the pupil has not mastered the "orf
 sufficiently well to proceed.
