even some of our better military schools have turned out products that, while many of them may have the bearing of soldier, in the ranks, their carriage is totally different when they fall out. It should be- come second nature with them to walk and carry themselves with the bearing of an officer and gentleman, all the time.
 'As last important element that seems to me has been lacking in the moral and mental makeup of our students is the characteristic of grit. Not that they would have proven cowardly in battle, but some have exhibited tendency to throw up the sponge upon the administra. tion of severe rebuke or criticism. Their feelings have been hurt. and they resigned. This ideal of grit be. longs in the school room as well as in the camps"
 These are some of the criticisms offered by Gen. Mccain, and while the School Masters Club admits these conditions are most undesir- able. the educators are not willing to bear all the blame.
 The home must take it's share.
 The people of Arkansas are re sponsive to all calls for legitimate assistance in the winning of the war.
 These calls have not yet come to the stage of great personal sacrifice but even that will come if necessary.
 They are already paying with a willingness that would not have been suspected several years ago the income tax that reache, down and takes in the day laborer and the salary man.
 They are responding without com plaint to the most drastic regula- tions of the Fuel and Food Admin istrations, made necessary by the shortage of fuel and the urgent ne- cessities of the army.
 Lightless nights, heatless Mon days. meatless Tuesdays. wheatless Wednesdays, porkless Saturdays and other restrictions come hard, but the authorities say they are neces. sary, therefore the people acquiesce.
 Arkansas is doing it's part to win the war.

T~ HE part that is being played by the of this
nation and of the nations of our Allies in helping
TO win the is inspiration to every patriotic
citizen. Not only have patriotic entered the
service of the Army and Navy, performed miracles of
mercy in the nursing service and Red Cross work and
many other lines Of patriotic endeavor but they have
also entered the ranks OF industry in vast numbers and
have learned to perform the tasks of skilled workers
and artisans Many lines of work for which it formerly
thought women unsuitable not sufficiently
skful have now been opened up to women, and there
are many tasks admirably adapted to the deftness
patience and skilfu touch of women workers. The
tremendous Withdrawals Of from industry and
from the farms have called for O replace them
in increasing numbers. This is of organized
industry and organized nations. To accomplish the
great task of winning the war; it necessary that sup
plies and munitions be made and transported to
armies in vast and increasing quantities. This task
could not be done without the help Of the great army
of women workers. and is only right and proper
that recognize the value Of the service rendered by
them.

OF substituting for industry in order that
may do injustice either to the the
