 But only about half the population between the ages of five and eighteen IS enrolled in any public school dur. ing any particular year. Consider this in the light of the importance of an intelligent citizenship as seen by our forefathers who framed our constitu- ton, and the importance of as perfect 2n education as possible for all the half who are in ahool will readily be seen. Moreover, the average child of school age is receiving only ninety days of schooling each year. Clearly then it is imperative that since tho only place this problem may be i'm mediately attacked is on the side Of instruction, we must provide the most skilled teachers for our children. es- pecially through the first six grades. for the average American never gets beyond them, and it is only through the common scholarship acquired dur. ing these early grades that we are to assure ourselves of the common heri. tage of the American institutions of which we are so proud
 It is not true that teachers are born and not made" any more than the same statement would be true for lawyers or engineers. At any rate they are not born ready made. So- ciety dignifies teaching by calling r 2 profession, which means that our teachers must consequently have a clear idea of the scientific principles which determine its procedure.

Exhibition of E1per and Fdncy Shoofun-
 F1ee and You 0)M Enjoy seeing t

MT. and Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, the celebrated marksmen, will give an exhibition of expert and fancy shoot ing here, which everybody ought to see, as no such marvellous shooting has ever been done in this section.
 It will be revelation to all of the wonderful possibilities of modern arms and ammunition in the hands of the greatest experts. MT. Topperwein is the acknowledged dean of fancy and trick shots, and his many feats are of highly sensational character Mrs. Topperwein has no equal among women for adeptness in shooting. Ladies are especially urged to go and witness her astonishing skill with shotgun, rife and pistol. Admission will be free to all.
 Some idea of the unusual character of the exhibition given by the Topper veins will be gained from the follow ing remarks: Adolph Topperwein, the greatest living fancy and flying target shot with rife, represents the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.,, and lives in San Antonio, Texas. His na- tive state has long been noted for its expert shooters and this penchant for shooting among Texans, added to his natural ability, undoubtedly accounts for the wonderful skill he displays. He uses no special equipment, but ordinary Winchester rifles, shooting regular cartridges with solid ball; or, in other words, cartridges such as are sold by all dealers. He shoots at oranges, apples, bits of coal or brick, walnuts, small marbles, empty car fridge shells, and many other tiny ob- jects, which are all thrown into the air and hit with either rifle or re volver.
 In the most remarkable exhibition of rifle shooting e.>r given, Mir. Top pe,wein shot for ten days at 72, 500 9 1-4 inch wooden blocks thrown into the air by an assistant. missing only 9 out of the entire lot.

SAFE AND SANE FARMING.

The Extension Division of the Uni versity of Arkansas, cooperating with the United States Department of Ag- riculture, stands emphatically for safe farming for all, but especially for the small farmer. Failure to grow feed and food stuffs is not only unsafe farming but 1t is unpatriotic and dis loyal to country and family The FIX tension Division believes in rather larger farm units than general in Ar kansas but it recognizes that the small farms may be handled more efficiently than at present. It, therefore, sub- mits the following plan for a forty acre farm and also ten rules for safe farming.
 Suggestion for Forty-Acre Farm 10 acres corn and cowpeas. ? acres Sudan grass.
 6 acres oats and lespedeza. acres peas and peanuts and soy beans.
 acre garden and potatoes. 1 acre sorghum for syrup.
 3 acres permanent pasture. 12 acres cotton for cash, with crim- son clover.
 Live Stock.
 2 good mares and colts.
 milch cows and calves.
 brood sowS and pigs.
 50 young hens and chicks.
 Ten Rules For Sale Farming.
 1. Grow good garden.
