 The modern adaptation of the colo nial style is largely influenced by de- velopments which took place after the revolution and if fhe general outline of the house and perhaps the window ar engagement are followed, this is consid- cred sufficient to characterize the structure as colonial style house. The roof design is one particular which de- signers use to advantage in varying the appearance of their colonial houses. 1t is true that the old colonial houses which are still standing today have al- most every possible type of roof rep

Ruling On School Books.

Ruling On School Books.
 Textbooks for use in the Junior High School of Little Rock, or any other junior high school that may be established in Arkansas, must be those of the uniform series adopted by the State Textbook Commission, accord ing to ruling by Attorney General John D Arbuckle, at the request of I. l.. Bond, state superintendent of pub lie instruction. Some misunderstanding had arisen among teachers and book men as to the status of the junior high schools. Some contended that 1t was high school to which the uniform system of text books did not apply. Others held that because the school was composed of pupils of the seventh and eighth grades, and was not in fact high school, the books used in these grades in other schools, not organized as junior high schools, should also be used in the junior high schools. At torney General Arbuckle, in his opin- ion, says: "The junior high schools are to use the uniform series of books adopted by the State Text-Book Com mission, as provided under the act. with the exception that in the junior high schools, in, addition to the text books selected for use in the seventh and eighth grades. such other branches of study may be introduced and taught as may be selected by the teachers subject to the. authority of the Board of Directors of the school district" Attorney General Arbuckle says any. other construction of the law would throw down the bars and serve to entirely defeat state uniform ity in the public schools of the state so far as the seventh and eighth grades are concerned.

 If you travel through the country and notice the houses both in the cities and in the open country, you will find houses of the colonial style every where, strikingly attractive in any en- vironment, provided they are not crowded too closely. The colonial style of architecture has 8 strong American appeal because of historical association and also because of the beauty of simplicity. The early Amer ican homes, after which the modern colonial homes are modelled, were all framed in a manner which brought their beauty out from their simplicity. The architectural style adopted by the colonists was naturally affected by that of the country from which they came, and therefore, the homes which they built after the period of privation and discomfort had passed could easily be distinguished as following the English style of architecture.
