Hymn 577

/ will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered
From the curse to make me free.
(Chorus)
Sing, oh! sing Of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me;
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt and made me free.
I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.
/ will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant power I'll tell,
How the victory He giveth,
Over sin and death and hell.
Hymn 593
Saviour, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to
Thee;
Let Thy precious blood applied
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.
(Chorus)
Every day, every hour,
Let me feel Thy cleansing power;
May Thy tender love to me,
Bind me closer, closer, Lord to
Thee.
Thro' this changing world below,
Lead me gently, gently as | go,
Trusting Thee / can not stray,
/ can never, never lose my way.
let me love Thee more and more,
Till this f1eeting, fleeing life is Ger
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above.

 "Oh, l don't know" said Jim Iazilv T wish you'd beat the Kid somewhere else, Janet
 "You'll say it."

 Marion set her teeth hard as she listened at the door. X new sense of motherhood was dawning in her. And with 1t there came a startling dfscoy- cry. It was the trinity of father mother and child that would have made fife and home complete for her. It was because Jim had never really cared for little Elaine that she had grown callous, gone out with Dan.
 Now furious resentment against the man and the woman, against the past stirred in her And she clenched her tirsts as she listened to the drawn out conflict between the woman and the child-her child.
 You stubborn little thing, I'll break your will yet,a said Janet. "Now go to bed"
 With catch of her breath the child ran from the room.
 At the same time the hall door opened softly. Elaine saw the furred figure standing upon the threshold the beckoning hand. She ran toward it, and something impeled her 10 fling her arms about the woman's neck.
 Marion drew her out into the street and softly closed the door. She clutched the sobbing little figure to her breast trying to quell the spas modic sobbng.
 "There, there. don't cry. honey!"
 "Oh, they hate me. and I won't call her my mother, Cos she isn't My moth- CTS dead"
 "Not dead. honey, but here-here !" Marion opened her fur coat and drew the child inside. She's come for you, dear-to take you away Will you come with me-"
 They hurried down the street to- sether, far from the house, Marion clutching Elaine's hand tightly, and feeling q happiness that she had never known before It was all clear as crystal now, and if the past was justi- fed the future was made perfect.

As result of that sys- tenn Arkansas now occupies 4Gth place among the states educa ationally, fact we all regret and which all should strenuously endeavor to overcome.
 Instead of abolishing the office of county superintendent, writes Fred Boyd in the Fayetteville Countryman, let LIS make it of greater importance and encourage our Superintendents to be of greater help to our teachers and rural communities. Then we can bring Arkansas up from it's low rank in education then we can give the country boy or girl $500 for every $500 spent on the city boy or girl.

 Professor l. w. Teeter, County Su- perntendent of Schools, followed MT. Tompkins with an interesting talk on education in Nevada County. He said that more advantages are extended to young people of the rural communities by the schools of Prescott than are given by any other city in the state. The enrolment of pupils from rural Sshool shows higher percentage than in any other high school in the state.
 Mr. Hirst then announced that there would he a course in COmmer cial work at the High SshOol this year, which would include Bookkeep- ing. Shorthand and Typewriting Tuition amounting to $500 per month will be charged for this course, which will be taught by C. C. Calhoun.

COUNTY SUPERVISION

It is probable that efforts will be renewed in the 1923 session of the legislature to repeal the law proyid- ing for county supervision and creat- ing the office of county superintendent. This was attempted in 192l but met with small favor al the hands of the more progressive lawmakers. II is known that certain members of the legislature have been elected on a platform in opposition to the county boards of education
 StatisUcs and the observations of mpremdiced persons will readily dem onstrate the effectiveness of county supervision in raising the standard of our schools II is admitted by all who are interested in tbe promotion of higher educational ideals that Ar kansas cannot lift itself from the low

PRESCOTT SCHOOLS OPEN

X comparatively small number of parents of pupils of the schools of Prescott met Thursday morning ia the Grammar School building. The meet ing had as it's purpose the increasing Of the interest of parents in the gfsan- tie task faced by teachers in properly educating the children What the mect- ing lacked in attendance was more than made up hy enthusiasm and zeal shown bH those present.
 The program opened with the song America" which was led by Bro. L \. Sage. Bro. l. Hg Cummin~ then read from the Sixth Epistle of Paul to the Galatians. He followed HhfS .WitIEa prayer.
 Professor C. NJ. Hirst gave short address on the object of this opening meeting.
 N. N. TompkinS Il memhel=of inc Board of Education. presented some very interesting statistics on education ill this School District There ara SI5.- 000 i'll the school treasury al the pres ent time. This is approximately enough to run the schools until March The bonded indebtedness of the schools is S4oo0o. On this indebtedness there is paid out yearly. $3.0OO. The average yearly income is 500, GOO. IL iS the poli- ~ of the school board not to spend money in excess of the amount in the treasury. In this way, they keep from increasing the amount of the debts. The present issue of bonds expires in 13G.
 MT. TompkinS also said that before the present school system was evolved. fhe only education you received was what your parents could afford 10 pay for. All tuition then was paid for by individuals. He explained the present system of taxation for purposes of education and suggested a change which would put the rural schools on an equal basis with the city and town schools The present plan of a four or five month school for the majority of rural schools is not sufficient to meet their needs.
 He also said that corporations and companies which are not interested in education contribute more than one half of the money used for that pur- pose
 The attitude of the school board to- wards the negro school in this dis trict was explained. Statistics were also presented which show that only To per cent of the money spent for education is used for the negro school. This money is more than repaid hy the increase of efficiency of the ne- groeS who receive this education.
 Mr Tompkins says he will refuse to serve on the School Board after the election in 1923 if there is not wo- man either running for the office or serving on the Board prior to that time A woman, he says. knows more

BRANDEGEE BUTTS IN.

Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, however, is all upset over the treaties he wasn't asked to help make and has proposed several reservations.
 Brandegee was placed in position where his future course on this treaty may bring about fight similar to that which occurred under the last administration on Article X of the League of Natoins. Several days ago he submitted a reservation providing that the United States should not be bound by any adjustments or under standings reached under Article I or II of the four-poWer treaty unless ap proved by Congress.
 Senator Lodge after a conference with President Harding offered substitute for the Brandegee reserva- ton which provides that nothing in the treaty shall be construed as com mitting the United States to the use of armed force without the approval of Congress. Senator Brandegee re- fused to accept this substitute.
 It is reported that President Hard ing is opposed to the Brandegee reservation, but Brandegee Is not in clined to make any concessions. It was at first believed that the Bran degee reservation would be substan- tially accepted, but if it is not fight on the floor of the Senate is fore casted.

New York, Feb. 24-A decision by Federal Judge Manton as arbiter be- tween the Publishers Association of New York and Web Pressmen's s Union, No. 25, provides for maintain ing the present wage scale; taking the position that everyone should work eight hours daily, whether empolyed during daylight or night time; and eliminates several working conditions heretofore prevailing.
 Both sides had agreed to abide by the decision, which is to form the basis of a contract extending I8 months from March I next
 The judge decreed that overtime pay should be made only for time actually worked. Heretofore the unions demanded and received an hours overtime for any fractional part.
 The publisher IS to have the sole right to determine the number of men necessary to operate the presses. In the past the union designated the number.
 Press crews hereafter may be trans ferred from one press to another, practice previously forbidden.
 In stretching the work-time to eight hours, Judge Manton declared that the eight-hour day had been estab- lished and is now universally recog- nized

The Roads Answer.

Issues of the local newspapers con- tained articles over the signatures of the officers oi the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, representing the cler- ical employees in negotiations in con- neCtion with reduction nj rates of pay and revision Of working conditions. These articles protest the elimination of the Saturday half-holiday, pay for holidays, vacations and sick leave.
 Prior to the period of federal con trol the rates of pay, hours of service, and working conditions covering all of the clerks on the system except those exclusively within the trans portation department, were fixed by the management and the result of mutual understandine with the em- ploycS. Under this arrangement clerks were paid on a weekly basis. They were not paid extra for over time. except under unusual condi- tions, nor for work performed on Sundays and holidays.
 It was the common practice to re- leve them from work on Sundays and holidays except under an emer- genCy condition. In consideration of the non-paymcnt for overtime work they were granted certain privileges in the way of sick leave and vaca- tions, all dependent upon the general status of the work in the office em- ployed.
 These were privileges granted in mutual xchange for certain extra

requirements as to service from time to time.
 Federal control changed all this The rates of pay of clerks were put upon d daily basis and the daily basis was ascertained by multiplying the daily rate by the number of days of the clerks assignment per annum, dividing it by 3o6, the latter repre- senting the basic years work.
 By this process a clerk with an av- craze assignment of 365 days a year had his daily rate increased very ma terially for the 300 days. If he con- tinued to work 365 days he was paid for the days in excess over 300 on the basis of the daily rate thus estab- lished. It will therefore be noted that all of the privileges as to Satur- day half-holiday, Sunday and holiday work, vacations and sick leave were capitalized and put into the daily rate.
 The clerks and the management tailed to agree as to the continuation of these bases of pay and working conditions as established by the Fed eral railroad administration.
 The dispute was submitted to the United States Railroad Labor Board under the Transportation act, aud the question of Saturday half-holiday and pay for Sundays and holidays not worked by deciding that eight hours shall constitute day and that there shall be no pay for services not rem dered. The decision of the board is binding upon both parties and has been put into effect.
 The questions of vacations and sick leave were referred back to the man agement and the men for further ne gotiation, but in view of the deficits being constantly urged by the rail- road and the need for extreme econ omy, the company has declined to continue pay for the privileges and to also grant the privilege
