WITH A MORAL FOR TEACHERS

- nee upon a time, the story
goes there was a bad little
~ girl who couldn't he made to
study. Her mother sent her
to a private school where she wrink,ed
her juvenile brow over "un, deuN.
t.ots. cinq." and learned the manufac-
ture If spithalls.
The school was conducted by a
widow who had taken mp teaching
primarily because she had to earn a
living and ~seCOndarily because she
possessed the asset of "A splendid edu-
cation and was so ituated as To be
able TO accommodate the school in her
home, In her heart this woman owed

direction, as is the habit OF missiles

the teachers blotter instead of the
little boy for whom 1t was intended.
Thereupon the teacher led the little
girl to a vacant room upstairs and
shut the door.
Being Of a curious turn OF mind the
little girl did not sit on a chair with
her hands folded and reflect IN her
badness, as she had been told 70 do,
but commenced wandering aimlcsSly

upon a bureau. She was now on the

 The commissioners and leading prop erty holders in road improvement dis' trict No. ], which was invalidated by an adverse decision of the Supreme Court, announce that steps will at once be taken to reorganize the dis trict in conformity with the proyl- sions of the Alexander road law. The district will also be enlarged and the total length of the macadam highway to be built increased from 26 miles to about 40 miles. The route of the pro posed road, under the old district, was from the pontoon bridge on the Ar kansas River at Dardanelle, north through RuSsellyille, Dover and ScottS- vile to Rector The additional road will extend from the pontoon bridge southeast along the river to Reed s Ferry in Holla Bend, traversing some of the richest and most valuable lands | on l--o river.
 Petitions for the old district, which was declared void because plans of the roau and estimates of cost pre- pared by the State Highway Depart ment were not filed before petitions were circulated, represented majort ties of from 60 to 75 per cent of tht assessed values of property in tht district, acreage and number of lane owners, whereas a majority of eithe one of these is sufficient for the TOT nation of the district, under the Alex ander law.
