PREDICTS ADJUSTMENT '
 HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
Sentiment Is for Six Years ill Grade School, Three in Junior and Three
 in Senior High School.

Little Rock, March 3.-The read Justment of high school courses throughout the country is predicted by State Superintendent George E. Cook. who has just returned from the annual meeting of the department of superin- tendece of the N. E. A., at Detroit, Mich. He reports that there were over. 4.6OO ln attendance, from all parts of the country, of whom twelve were from Arkansas.
 MT. Cook says that it was most important session, and that two sub jects especially were given the most careful and thorough attention. One of these is the differentiation of the course of study, the question being whether it shall be made more p1 dcti- cal rather than wholly cultural, as it has been in the past. There is ten dency throughout educational circles to teach more practical, everyday subjects, rather than to devote so much attention to higher mathemat- lcs, dead languages and abstruse sci ences that are of very little benefit after the pupil leaves school.
 The other subject was the readjust- ment of the high school course to meet changing conditions At pres ent, the prevailing system is eight years in the grades and four years in the high school It is proposed to change this to six years in the grades, three years in junior high school, and three years in senior high school This system has already been adopt ed in Hot Springs and Texarkana, and probably few other places in the state, and is approved by all as great improvement.
 Statistics show that not more than 9 per cent of those who entei the public schools finish high school. and they begin dropping out with the fifth grade, after which the reduction is very rapid. By advancing the pupil earlier into the high school course, it is the theory, and the experience of schools where it has been tried, that the graduates will be doubled or trebled. They are given greater incentive to remain in school than they are under the prevailing system.

LESS CHILD LABOR FOUND.

Washington, March 3.-Fewer chill dren under sixteen years of age now larp employed in the cotton mills of New Englond and the South, than was shown by previous annual surveys of government inspectors, according to an announcement by Royal Meeker. commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics
 In the New England group of cotton mills there are 1,711 children under 16. and of that number S90 are girls. In the southern group 9,665 are en- ployed. Of that number 4,5S5 ara girls. Investigation revealed that in The southern mills 455 children under 10 years old. with large pro- portion cf them little girls, were a. work. In the New England mills. it was said, relatively small percent age of employees of that age are em- ployed.
 Violations of the existing child la- Dor law were discovered in both New England and in the South. Employ ment of children fourteen or fifteen years old. without the necessary cer- tificates required by law, was the ohi:f offense charged against em- ployers.
 In the South, MT. Meeker declared, the legal provisions relating to cer' tificates were practically ignored and violations of the age-linit laws were frequent and conspicuous.

MAKING CLEAR TERMS
 Of THE WEATHER MAN
"Fair" Means Without Rain or Snow: :: ''Clear" That the Sun Will
 Shine Brightly,


 The United States weather bureau makes frequent use of two words, "fair'' and clear" in its weather re- ports and forecasts, and the greater number of people who read those re- ports and forecasts have the general idea that the words have about the same meaning.
 ! Such is not the case, however, ss developed few days ago in conversa- tion with an old weather bureau off cial. "Fair" means without prccipi- tation." Clear" means bright, sun shiny.
 When the weather bureau says "to- morrow will be fair it means there will be no rain or snow. 1t may be q dark, gloomy sort of day, with the sky heavily overcast with black. glow ering clouds, but if there is no pre- uipitation, it will be fair When the weather bureau uses the word clear" however. one can plan safely with the understanding that the sun will shine, there will be no clouds, and the day will he bright and cheery.

WA INE BLUFF ROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
PUBLIC PECULIAR.

IL is difficult not to agree wit.l alter all the hue and cry over the al lowance to attorneys fer the ceme- tery district of fee of s2.50 on each parcel of land on which the tax is delinquent. it is surprising how few have taken advantage of the offer to clcai their property by the paya,sn of the tax and penalty of 20 per cent of the amount. It was supposed that, is the $2.5O fee was opposed, those liable would sagerly grasp the oppor- tunity 10 save this amount, the at torneys, Coleman & Can't, having consented to fcrego the collection of the fee if they are reli:ved of col letting the tax.
 This attitude simply proves once again how peculiar is the public. Ths public cries out against what it deems to be wrong in public affairs, and then-pr1mptly forgets all abou. it. That is, if the remedy demands any exerticn on the part of the pulp lie.
 In orier 10 save the attorneys fee on the delinquent cemetery tax. the amount due must be paid before March 31. There is no excuse for 6.lay. and tho taxpayer cannot now say q didn't know" Unless the tax is paid before the expiration of this pericd of grace, it is doubtful if any one will feel that the delinquents de serve further assistance. And if the tax is not paid before the final hear ing in the suit, the delinquent vii probably be called upon to pay ar attornsys' fees of s, as we'll as cour costs and penalty.
 Most of the amounts for taxes dut are small, and the delinquents shoul> display sufficient interest in theil own business to meet the obligation promptly. They should do this fo their own welfare as we'll as to show appreciation of the efforts of the me, who took up the public's fight, o the actio of the commissioners il securing for 5he delinquents q perio: of grace. and of the attitude of th, attorneys who consented ta foreg. fees.
