aim of the school is not crammlng child's head with arithmetic, gram mar, geography, history, etc, but to form in it correct habits of life. Habits and character are closely as sociated. In fact character is bundle of habits. To build up strong character, it is very necessary to assist the child to form correct habits while it's mind is plastic.
 Teachers in general exert their eff forts towards having their pupils do certain amount of work enumerat- ed in the course of study and wholly neglect the real aim of the school character building. When a boy leaves school, his standard of eff ciency should not be measured by the number of problems he can solve in arithmetic nor by the number of geo. graphical facts he can memorize, but rather by his general behavior or character. Is he honest and truthful? Is he courteous? Can he apply him. self to his work? Does he regard the rights of others? Is he manly? If these questions cannot be answered affirmatively his education is fail ure, no matter how much geography he knows.
 Children should be early taught a proper regard for authority. If this 1 principle is not instilled in them, they will very likely make undesir- able citizens. By demanding of them pompt obedience to school rules, the habit for proper regard to authority will be formed and on reaching man. hood they will not very likely violate the law.
 Teachers shoulds work daily to have their schools contribute something towards the betterment of society. Hence if the schools are to be made more useful, honesty, truthfulness and proper regard for authority must be stressed. It is true that the work of the teacher is often handicapped by poor home training. Children in many instances enter school insolent, l Nt'oDSu SIiI anu III opeH IeNOlC dSdlnSC school regulations. But under the guidance of teacher who has the welfare of the child at heart, these undesirable qualities give place to things that will contribute to the bet terment of society. If we would at- tain our right place in the sun, our bodies must have strong resisting pow CTS. A strong mind usually accom- panies a strong body. Hence sani- tation and hygiene should occupy a prominent place in every school. Even at the expense of some of the other branches, it should be taught daily. The life and the health of the chil- dren are more important than arith- metic and history. J. R. Anderson.

Efforts to secure the passage of an ordinance prohibiting the running at large of chickens-the feathered va riety, of course-will be made at the next meeting of the Conway city council b va committee of the Wom- ans Auxiliary of the Commercial Club. The Auxiliary went on record in favor of such an ordinance several weeks ago, but the matter has not yet been formally presented to the council. So many complaints of dam age to gardens and lawns have been made recently, they state, that they will press the immediate passage of the ordinance, which City Attorney George F.

 It was said that Mir. Hopkins had sold the last lot of cakes out of a display box in which one of the large bakeries places it's bulk products. He was eating some of the pieces remain ing in the bottom, when the glass IS said to have been taken into his system.

PLANS READY FOR
 NEW DORM|TORY
TO LEI CONTRACT SOON
Grounds Being Cleared at Central College for New Building and
 Other Improvements.

The architects for the new dormi tory to be erected at Central College
 have completed the plans and speci. fications which are now in the hands of the printers. They will be ready
 to be submitted to the contractors about July l and it is expected that the contract will be awarded within a week or ten days after that date Pres. Doak S. Campbell said today. Grounds of the campus are being cleared so that work of construction can be begun immediately after the contract has been awarded.
 Preparatory to the construction of the new dormitory and the general enlargement of Central College ex- tensive changes are being made dur ing the summer vacation. With the recent acquisition of several acres of additional property to the rear of the fomer property an extensive layout of athletic gounds, parks and play grounds is being developed Several small outhouses are being wrecked, while others are being moved further
 way from the present college building The additional ground thus provided is being leveled and laid out into ten- his grounds and various other plots suitable for use of the students. The present athletic grounds are on the site of the proposed new dormitory and hence will have to be destroyed. The new layout, however, gives much larger space for athletic and outdoor recreations and places them behind the administration building, thereby glvlng more privacy to the students
 In the present building, metal weather strips are being installed on the windows and doors. This will render the building one of the most comfortable in the whole state. Many of the walls are being re-tinted and practically all of the floors are be- Ing ~re-flnished. The class rooms are also being improved.
 Additional equipment will be in- stalled before the opening of the ses- sion. This will include several hun dred dollars worth of scientific ap- paratus and 30 sections of book cases for the library.

London, June 26.-One of the most remarkable gatherings of a nations heroes the world has even seen was witnessed today when King George gave garden party to wearers of the Victoria Cross, the little bronze Nal tese cross simply inscribed For Val or" which is recognized the world over as Britain's highest badge of su- preme personal courage and self sacrifice.
 Nearly three hundred of these su- per-heroes accepted the kings invita- tion to Buckingham Palace, and the defenders of Thermopylae and other ancient giants might have gasped at the deeds accomplished by some of these humble and comparatively un- known present-day fighters.
