NEW ACT CHANGES
 SCHOOL CONTROL
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
Law Effective in May Creates County School Board of Five Members
 to Direct Education.

Sweeping changes will be made in the system of common school educa- sion in Arkansas by Act 324, which was passed by the last legislature and which becomes effective immediately after the annual school election the third Saturday in May. The act creates a county board of education of five members to be named at the annual election, and the board will in turn select county superintendent of education, who will have general supervision of public school educa- tion. Powers conferred upon the board itself include the apportion- ment of public school funds and the grouping of counties into districts, authority for which is now vested in the county court. It will also canvass returns from school elections, and will declare results. This and other changes made in the public school system are sweeping
 Carrying out provisions of the act in Faulkner county means that at the annual school election in May five members of the education board will be named. The member elected by the highest vote will serve five years, the one receiving the second highest vote four years, the third highest vote three years, the fourth highest vote two years, and the lowest vote one year. Thus one new member will be added to the board annually there after. Two provisions of the act are of importance. Not more than two members from any one political town ship may be elected, and in counties where superintendents have already been selected or county examiners named, they will be allowed to com plete their unexpired terms before the board elects it's superintendent. In this county, A. A. Parsons, Jr., is serving as county examiner, and his term will not expire until January 1, 1921. The superintendent selected must have had, among other qualifica tions, at least two years of normal or professional training and must be

The Calendar

The calendar hangs on each house
hold wall,
And within its futtering folds,
Silent and hid from our waiting
sight,
The fate of our lives it holds.
None can tell what pleasure or
pain
May come with the coming day
'Tis here and has passed with the
passing hours,
And we tear the leaf away.
Today, with its round of treadmill
cares,
Makes life seem cold and gray.
We are glad when the sinking sun
means rest
And we tear the leaf away.
But with the birth of the morrow's
sun
We hope for a brighter day,
And with faith renewed we smile
again
AS we tear the leaf away.
May the peace that we cannot un-
derstand
Come to us all, we pray,
When the last days closing scene
is DER
And the leaf is torn away.

Herald.
