ROADS GREAT HELP
TO THE RURAL SCHOOLS

The motor bus is proving an i'm
portant factor in the centralized ru-
raj school movement in various sec
tions OF the country. According to
Mr.. Parrott, local dealer In tires and
accessories made by the Firestone
Tire Il Rubber Company, who recent
ly received some interesting data
from the company, there are still
212,0O0 one-room schools in the
United States.
The information shows that these
schools are of the pioneer type and
cannot possibly meet the needs of
modern agricultural life.
In preface to a bulletin issued by
Firestone Ship BY Truck Bureau, p.
p. Claxton, commissioner of the U.
s. Bureau of Education, says better
roads are essential to better rural
schools. He says also that the
improvement and consolidation of
rural schools and their use as social
centers have marked influence up
on the prosperity and intellectual
OF the people in the
rural districts.
1t seems that farmers, wherever
on this subject, are al
most unanimously in favor of the
school.
THE country boys and girls"
said Mr. Parrott. "are entitled to the
same educational advantages as are
accorded boys and girls OF the cities.
The centralized school would give
them this, and good Transportation
would get them to school, saving
them walks OF mile or perhaps
several miles In ali kinds of weather
No farmer will objeBt TO paying tho
little extra motor hus cost, and In
iications point 80 some rapid ad-
'ance iG the next year 10 the CEN

Why Swiss Must GIsetrlfy

The coal shortage has given the
Swiss no alternative but to electrlfy
the remainder of their roads and the
work is being pressed vigorously. In
Italy, also, Doctor Parsons found that
electrification of railroads is being ex.
tended rapidly. The Swiss government
a month ago sold $25.O0O.OO0 of 8 per
cent bonds, the proceeds to be used as
part Of its program for the electrifica-
tion of the government railway system.

~ Is one of the
chief tributaries Of the Missls-
Sippi. 1t is said that the early
settlers found in this territory,
an Indian tribe named Arkansas,
but the actual meaning of the
word Is not known. 1t probably !
has some relation to the word
Kansas. There has been much !
confusion as to the correct pro I
nunciatiOn Of Arkansas. To re. |
move this as far as possible a
resolution was passed by the I
state senate In 1881 which speci.
hed that the true pronunciation :
was "Ar-kan-saw."
Originally Arkansas was q I
part Of the Louisiana Purchase.
Its first settlement was made by !
the French about 1885. Except !
for the few years during which ]
by secret treaty 1t was ceded to
Spain, II remained under French ,
rule. until purchased by the Uni. I
ted States in 1903. For nearly !
ten years after this, 1t was !
part Of Louisiana territory. With /;
the admission of the State of
Louisiana in 1912 this Northern
section was formed into the Mis-
souri, territory, In 1919 there !
was another partition and Ar
kansas territory was created.
which included the present state
and what later was called Indian
territory.
Due to the reports of an early
explorer named like. who visited
this region in 1906, the incOr-
rect idea was generally accepted !
that most of the expanse Of !
plains east of the Rockies was I
a vast desert. This idea per-
sisted to such an extent that as
late as 1850 the western plains
We're called In the school geog-
raphies "The Great American
Desert" Adventurous settlers,
especially from the South, found !
conditions in Arkansas quite 9TH !
erwise, however, and by 1888
Arkansas was admitted as the
twenty-hfth state of the Union
with an area Of 53,335 square
miles.
The natural resources Of the
state are considerable. There
are the mineral springs Of me

placed under governmental con- !
