Five. and Eigh -Tenths
Percent of Population
Responsible for Prac-
tically All Tax Costs

University OF Oregon. Eugene
Aug. 2.----Five and eight-tenths pei
cent of the population of the state
is responsible for practically all
tax expenditures in maintaining
all state, county and city institu-
tions, homes, iails and other in
struments for the administration
of justice and order, according to
a summary of the Oregon state
survey OF mental defects, delin-
quency and dependency conducted
by DR.. Chester L. Carlisle, of the
United States public health service
through the extension division of
the University Of Oregon. The
summary was printed in the last
number OF the Extension Monitor.
A total OF 65,423 individuals
who were either potential or act
tial social liabilities was found by
the survey. This represented ap-
proximately per cent Of the pop
ulation of the state.
Excluding one-half OF the delin-
quents as unimportant petty Of
tenders, and further excluding
one-half of the dependents as be-
ing probably remedial cases, the
total was cut down to about 49,
600 or 5.S per cent Of the general
population. These $4,000 individ-
uals are responsible for practically |
all expenditures Of public funds
for maintaining police, etc, stated
the report.

Jute MIL at
Waua Walla
Pen Is Closed

Olympia, Wash, Aug. q
Washington has decided to dis
continue operation of the iute mill
in the state penitentiary at Wal
la Walla, Wash, and to turn the
prisoners to making clothes for
the inmates of state institutions.
For thirty one years the jute
mill, the horror of the convlcts,
has been manufacturing sacks for
grain. The mill never made mon
ey, and in the last ten years lost
almost a million dollars, accord
ing to state officials.
"As a reformatiVe and regener-
ative influence, the jute mill is
an absolute failure, and as fl
nanciaI investment, it has been
expensive to taxpayers, e. l..
McArdle, state director Of eff
cheney said recently. ''It operat-
ed in competition with labor in
India, the poorest paid in the
world"
Now the prisoners will make
tailored suits for their own use,
when they are liberated, and blue
suits for old soldier residents in
the two state soldiers homes.
Suits manufactured here will
not be of the cheap gray sort for
merly given to prisoners, when
released, but will be of varied pat
terms and cut in style. When the
prisoners are freed, they also will
be given stylish hats and shoes.

 Teachers study through this de- partment is being directed by mem- bers of the Normal faculty assigned to each individual student. The work is over and above class room duty and is distributed among the Normal teaching staff, each member having individual students.

Paragould has club with 52 enrolled, Clarksville 22, Brinkley II, May flower IA, Vilonia 10, Hattieville 13, and Greenbrier just organized and the roll not completed. These clubs, in eight meetings of two hours each, will do terms work in the subject studied and will be so credited at the Normal School. This years enroll ment of 124 teachers in the study clubs is a sharp gain over 52, the total enrolment the first year this plan was adopted.

 "Plans now initiated for prepara- tion for national defense contemplate more complete state of prepared ness than at any previous period in the peace time history of our coun- try,' MT. Weeks says. "We have provided a framework for defense prepared after careful study. We have an administrative body guali- fled to direct and control the con- structive development of the frame work. And finally we have prepared the plans of development All of this is, however, of slight value until the American people, who are the source of material for the body of our de- fensive structure, throw themselves wholeheartedly into the work.
 "To insure success, they must lend financial support to the limit of the insurance demand. Tue young men of the country mus. train themselves to be fitted into their places in the national reserve. The industries must prepare to cooperate in war time production. The American people have started along this path and they cannot afford to turn back"

that large number of sleeveless sweaters knitted during the war and now stored in Red Cross warehouses could be remade into garments with sleeves if there are enough volunteer workrs to rip up these sleeveless sweaters and re-knit them. The di- vision headquarters at St. Louis will supply these garments for re-making to chapters having volunteer knitters, and Manager Fieser urges that the work be done at once, so that the sweaters will be ready for use before the coldest weather begins.
 Production in Red Cross chapters necessary to meet local needs have never stopped, Fieser said, and prob ably will show increasing activity from now on, due to the increasing number of needs constantly arising.

NORMAL 10 START
 EXTENSIVE TESTS
OF OVER 1000 SCHOOLS
Reach 75O Rural and 367 District Schools in Testing Pupils
 Ability to Spell.

Tests to determine the ability o1 pupils in spelling will be made 1T 1,117 public schools of Arkansas dur. ing the month of January. Plans fo1 the big undertaking, which will be cast upon larger scale than hereto. fore attempted in Arkansas, are be- ing perfected by Lieut. Col. H. l.. Nc Alister, director of the department of extension, and Prof. c. C. Denney head of the bureau of measurements In carrying out the tests, schools in 367 special districts will be reached and 75 rural schools in each county of the state, making a grand total of LILY. The measurements follow up the valuable work along the same line done last winter by the same de- partment of the State Normal, which tested the ability of pupils in geog- raphy, reading, spelling and arith- metic.
 In all educational work undertaken by the State Normal, the fullest pos sible cooperation has been given by county superintendents of education and teachers in general. Aside from the benefit derived from the tests, the work has established a close bond between the local institution and the teaching profession.
 Special courses for county superin- tendents will also be launched by the State Normal in January. This will be in addition to what already has been undertaken for the purpose of better training school leaders and teachers. Assignments for the study clubs for this week end will send Mr. Denney to Clarksville and Prof. F. H. Harrin tonight to Vilonia. Teach CTS in and near Greenbrier organized last Saturday and Prof. c. Y. Short has been assigned as instructor. He will meet with the club on Saturday, December IF, immediately after ar rival of the mail hack from Conway
 Brief news letters to the state press are prepared by the extension department, and much publicity is being derived from this method The letter this week as it was prom inently displayed in the Russellville Courier Democrat is as follows:
 Challenged to do their share in the forward education movement by bet ter preparing themselves for effci- ent service, public school teachers in Arkansas in increasing numbers are taking advantage of the chance for study offered by the State Normal's correspondence courses. Started in October, 1919, these courses had in June, 1929, enrolled 103 teachers. One year later the number had ex- banded to BOA and on December 1 of this year, it had reached 710. And yet this branch of the school is still in it's infancy so far as service is concerned.
 Courses set by the Normal School have ben completed by 145 teachers Eleven have finished the work under taken in study clubs. Sixteen county superintendents are among the cor respondence graduates, and 75 are enrolled for courses which are being given now On the Give" file, those

 Production Program.

St. Louis, Dec. 8.-Red Cross chap ters in the southwestern division will
 reopen their production program in the near future, it was announced at division headquarters in this city by the manager of the division, James l.. Fieser. The work to be undertaken is making bathrobes, sweaters with sleeves and pajamas for men in the public health hospitals in the United States, and in remaking cast-off gar ments into clothes for suffering chE- dren abroad, as we'll as outer gar ments and warm underwear for adults in the sections of Europe which have not yet recovered from the effects of the war. Shipping warm clothing to central Europe must increase at once if the bare necessities of life are SUD- piled to the destitute of Europe, it is stated. Col. Ernest Bricknell, Red Cross commissioner to Europe, in a recent communication to the national office of the Red Cross at Washing ton, stated that it is urgently impor- tant that the Red Cross organization in this country rush shipments of clohing to Europe so that they will be received by January 1, if possible. The greatest need, he stated, is for layettes and winter garments for chil- dren between the ages of 1 and 5.
