Road Drag Is Essential in Putting
Roads in Good Condition.

MANY miles Of roads during the last
winter, made i'll the late iall, that
were all but impossible practically
all winter.
A new road made in the late fall
can hardly help but be rough ali
winter. This kind CT road means
lot more wear on the auto, higher
gasoline expense and q very mucn
general wear on the car. 1t also
means that the farmer cannot haul
nearly as heavy load with his team
and a quicker wearing out OF the
wagon.
IN The rural districts q lot of road
work is done by voters working out
their poll tax. This work is gener-
ally done when they can best spare
the time. which is in the fall. II
the men who do this work would
consult their best interests we be-
lieve they would arrange to do it
in the summer. even if it were not Sc
convenient and it cost them more.
Road overseer5 who have this work
in charge can help IN his lale more
than anyone else. If they will but try,
a lot Of this work now done in the fall
can be done when it should be. This
official should look more TO good roads
than to his own convon!ence.-TWel'

OLD HOME SINGERS.

The Old Home Singers, who are to
Gil big Lyceum season this year, make
speciality in their programs Of carry.
ius their audiences back to childhood
scenes and recollcctons.
OF the five young artists who com
prise this company each is a soloist OF
pleasing quality. c"pabIe of singing the
heart songs, They form a mixed guar
tet. capable of superb ensemble work.
as is evidenced by their artistic rem
dering OF the quartet from "ltigoIetto.'
That they meet the requirements OF
the program perfectly is shown ID the
many reports already received from
committees.
At the opening Of the program the
five young people have just returned
from Il musical where a song composed
by one Of the young men has proved
to be tie hit Of the season.

Road making is matter of a lot
of Importance to the city man and the

It has modern property with all facilities valued at 5000, and an enrolment O. one hundred. It has a four year high school course, aad graduated its first class this year.

More at tention is to be given to roots of vegetables than to t1e roots of verbs and numbers. Music and domestic science are provided for ths girls. and the boys are given vocational training that will fit them for work on the farm. There are classes in milk test ing, and soil testing, and many other practical things which will be found more valuable on the farm than ab- stract sciences and dead languages.

 What Jefferson county has accom- pllsh; d in the last four years can oe accomplished by any county in the state. The schools of the county have been standardized. Through the adop- tiCn of uniformity in books and grades pupils may go from one district to any other, either city or rural. and take up his work just where he lsft It. All the schools of the county are correlated, and therefore doing sys- tematic and definite work.
 County high schools are being rapid- ly established. Alrs ady fifteen or mere white schools O the county are doing !.igh school work. all of them being advanced as promptly as pos sitle to the full four year schools There was only one rnral high school in the county when Superintendent Lowe began his work four years ago. Now all are graded uniformly with the city schools of Pine Bluff. Prof Junlus Jordan, the city superintendent and former state superintend: nt, is ill thorough accord and harmony with Superintendent Lowe. end co-operat- ing with him in the stablishment Of a working system.
 There are some striking examplcs of what can be done with country schools. The Altheimer common school district is in some respects probably the most remarkable school in the entire state. There are only fifty-siX white persons of school age in the district and 2,0So negroes. The white school has building and property valued at S15:o00. Only 40 pupils are usually enrolled, with an average attendance # about 35. Yet there are four teachers employed. nine months in the year, the princi pal being paid $1O0 month and his assistants S75, $65 and s60 respective ly. A SD: cial teacher in music, both voice and instrumental, is also em- ployed. In this thoroughly modern and up-to-date school. the sons an1 daughters of the wealthy planters of the community are enabled to secure the same educational advantages that would be possible in any city.

 There are only four small summe: schools left in the county. All the others have been incrf ased to eight and nine months, better salaries are raid, and consequently better teachers secured

, Many Arkansas Papers Are Printing News of Progress

The schools of Jefferson and Pine Bluff are obtaining for the county and city favorable publicity that could net be purchased with money. Hun dreds of papers in the state are printing an article by Clio Harper, Of the Parke-Harper News sec- vice at Little Rock, containing the same. information as vas printed in The Graphic last Sunday, when the report of County Superintendent A. w. Lowe was summarized.
 MT. Harper's article, appearing this week in practically all the papers served by this news servjcs, follows
 Schools System Improves.
 Tllc Newer Education is taking pos session of Arkansas. The last decade has witnessed wonderful changes in educational methods and ends in Ar kansas, and this change for the better is just beginning. The school system is the very bone and sinew of our civilization, our social welfare and our material prosperity. and ust to the etxent that it is made effective. will those ends be conserved.
 The educational amendment upon which the people will vote in Novem Der is an important measure, sine it declares that the people of any school district shall be the judges of their own needs and expenditures. It is the true essence of popular self-govern ment.
 The increasing number of counties that are adopting uniformity of text books, and county uperintendency, that are consolidating small, weak districts into large and effective dis tricts-these are all pertinent signs of the times that indicate advance ment and progress.
 There are some striking examples in the state of progress made in a short time through the adoption of modern methods. It was the pleas ure of the writer a few days ago to talk with A. w. Lowe, first superin- tendent of schools for Jefferson
