The district has a bhree-room frame building, suitably equipped for doing successful school work. However, the school has aDout outgrown the present build Ing and the district is beginning to need more substantial building, more Tn keeping with the education Ai progress of the district By talk ing advantage of the new school tax amendment, the district will be able go make this improvement in the aear future.
 The school is doing good work this year under the supervision of s. s. Lane, who is ably assisted by Misses catherine Winston and LeFloy Clin- son. In addition to the regular com slon school course, the school is dolng two years high school work, which enables the district to give US students some high school work without sending them away from home. More high school work will probably be given as occasion de- nands. until the school is doing the Iuil Tour years high school work.

FOR UNIVERSAL DRILL
National Army at Camp Grant
 Fav0rS Measure.
Vote 4,60f to 136 for the Military Training of All Boys of
 Nineteen.

Rockford, nl.-The Eighty-slxth di- vision of the National army emphat- ically advocates universal military training for young men. By the "di. vision" Is meant not it's officers but It's enlisted men--its privates, ser geants, and corporals-men taken from civil life in the last three months un- der the selective service act.
 The first sergeants of 35 companies and batteries have polled their men on the question and have reported the results.
 The question asked was:
 Do you think all young men should have at least six months military training when they reach nineteen years of ageT
 The return cards show these totals {:
 Number of men favorable, 4,601.
 Number of men opposed, 136.
 One side of the card was left blank for further information or remarks" What was written there showed the reasons for the vote. The emphasis was about equally divided between the benefits to the men receiving the train ing and the protection of the nation. The geographical source of the unit whether it came from the congested areas of Chicago or the open hills of Wisconsin-seemed to make no diff ference.
 The question was put before the men on it's own merits and without argument.

trict has good one-room frame building, which is equipped with modern furniture, plenty of maps, charts, globe and an organ for chap el purposes. The directors have pro- vided splendid school library which would be a credit to any dis trlct m the county. It contains a splendid assortment of books suit able for all the grades, which have been very useful in carrying on the school work. Probably no other dis trict in the county has a more ex- tensive library than Oliver district.
 The building was recently repaint- ed and further improved by the erection of a nice porch in front of the building. The directors spare no efforts for the improvement of the school, considering that money spent for the education of their boys and girls is well spent.
 Tlfe district has for several years voted a sufficient tax to maintain a seven months term of school which is usually divided into a sum- mer and winter school. Miss Beulah Neal, whoh as charge of the school this year, is a graduate of the Mena

former students of the school are now teaching and others have passed the required teachers examination, which tends to show the thorough Aess of the work being done by the school. Further evidence of the Shoroughness of the work is shown sy the fact that the school won it's share of the premiums at both the Hatfield Fair and the Polk County School Fair.

Arithmetic Once Was Common.

At the time of the colonization Of America in the first half of the seven teenth century arithmetic was not con sidered essential to boys education unless he was to enter commercial life or certain trades. The instruction in arithmetic was often given in another school, called a writing school, or reckoning school. When arithmetic was taught in the grammar school 1t was very rudimentary. Not only was this true. but among the nobility and the aristocracy of the educated, arith- metic was looked upon as "comvaon," ''vile,r mechanic" because it was the accomplishment of clerks, artisans, tradesmen and others who bore no sign of heraldry. Consequently it was beneath the dignity of boy unless he was Hess capable of learning and fit- test to be put to trades"
