Basket ball. baseball, and other school activities are as important as teaching of any of the common branches of study. It is sad thing but nevertheless is true that two thirds of the school rooms in Greene county haven't sufficient play ground. Sometimes a school house is found where not even space sufficiently large for a marble game is to be found It's seldom you find one where there is sufficient play space for a good game of ball This acre purchased at Halliday meets all requirements, for but lit tie work necessary to have baseball ground or any other school activi- ties.

DISEASE LADENED MOSQUITOES | AS VIEWED BY OLD TLMERS
l1t's Relation to Malaria Interest. ing Difference of Opinion Be- tween Writers Then and
 Now.
(By 1T. R. Partlow)

Malaria is one of the most com mon of all diseases in the South and especially so in some portions of Arkansas. It's far reaching in its effects and careful reading. of it's history is interesting.
 The writer has an old book, more than a century old, which contains very interesting history of the mosquito and is somewhat in conflict with our present scientific understanding of this pest of na- ture. The quotation undoubtedly shows that it was written before medicine as a science had it's begin ming and before the nature of tho mosquito was known.
 The word Malaria" means bad air and it's derivation points to the misunderstanding of the disease. It points to the general and ancient belief that mosquitos while nOxious insect did much in consuming the noxious particles exhaled from the swamps. I take this method of mak- ing extensive quotation from this old book in order to show the gen. ~".~ r. -r-ssA -,~r~ ~--s .ssy~et. ~%

enment. The first phase of this campaign is now ill progress, being that of organization. The Forward Education Movement proposes dur ing the months of August and Sep tember to enroll every teacher in Arkansas and at least 25,000 citi- zens. The teachers feel that they are doing the work for the citizens and that the citizens themselves should bear the brunt of providing adequate facilities for every child in the state Hamp Williams, presi- dent of the Citizens Section, ac- cepts the challenge and agrees to enroll three for one if the teachers will enlist their entire number of 5000 in the cause. A Central Com mittee of 100 citizens has selected 1000 workers in all parts of the state and each of these is pledged to secure 25 members at $1.00 each
 Many are already at work. The superintendent in each county IS enrolling the teachers and a Citi- zens' Chairman has been appointed for each county. While each has his own duties, they will cooperate closely. A manager has been ap- pointed for each Congressional dis trict and his cabinet will be com

 SCHOOL SPIRIT
Directors Are Alive to Prog ressiveness - Instructors Are Doing Excellent Work.
(By II. R. PartloW)

A rural community's progress is to be measured ill terms of it's school; the intelligence and co-op- eration of it's parents or patrons are reflected in the school life and spirit of the children. Therefore, Halliday as community is not unlike that of other communities in line. It's school spirit is good as is manifested by the activities of its patrons, directors and teachers. The writer visited Halliday and was not long in ascertainihg that the school there was above an average in every particular.
 The teachers there are Robert Vinson, in charge as Principal and Miss Bufie Hoskins as assistant and it is fair to say that they are alive to the needs of the community. The directors of Halliday show a grasp of school administration not common to other communities. Quite often, I am sorry to say, that di- IeCtOTS leSeHI any ouSSSStioli lOOh- ing to the improvement of the school or to the sanitary surround ings. This is not true at Halliday. The directors D. R. Shearer, M. H. Tjnsley, George Shutley, Wesley Jenkins and Elmer Sanford, and they do whatever the conditions of the school demands.
 One of the improvements made at an acre of ground in order to in- crease the play ground for the chil- dren. It is the general belief that inasmuch as children in the rural communities have plenty of exer- else in the way of work, school ac-

As soon as this fact is well establish cd in the minds of the laity, much will be done toward the eradication ; oe communicable diseases. have seen so few schools screened, that is to keep out flies and other pests that if is noticeable when one sees the monotony broken. Many school buildings have large meshed screens for the purpose of protecting win- dow panes from balls and other missiles which is of course a matter of economy, but it may be that and doubtless is extravaganza to let school buildings go without being screened.
 Statistics show that death among school children from contagious dis ease increase suddenly when schools onen. reach their highest curve dur ling school time and decrease when schools close. This shows the neces- sity of taking the utmost precau- tion in caring for the welfare Of school children. The fatalistic doc- Urine that prevails in many quarters to the effect that children must have all the diseases of childhood should be opposed most vigorously by teachers and parents. Possibly measles carry in it's wake more dis tressing sequences than most any, other disease. Impaired vision, Kid- ney troubles, and other bodily in- firmities are the sequences of measles.
 Clean sweep is used at Halliday to allay the dust. This is wise and goes far toward advancing the de- fense against contagious common to
 school life. Floor oil is better but as yet rural. school people have DO. not as vet made themselves acquaint-
 ed with it's virtue as a preventive
 against dust. Furthermore, many of
 the floor oils have an antiseptic
 base which goes far in combating
 cofnmunfcale diseases ':'
 To say the least of it Halliday
 has caught the vision and unless
 other communities do something the tcommunity will be far ins advance
 of the surrounding communities. w
