county, but the law has been ignored
in number of counties, while i'm many
others it has been in operation since
its passage. In those counties where
the law is in force It is said TO have
resulted in an actual saving to the
taxpayers, for reasons that can be
easily imagined.
1t has been said that there is no
greater or surer cure for most public
ills than publicity. Publicity is a thing
that is greatly feared many times. If
the publicity act is enforced it will
very soon reveal the leaks i'm the public
treasury, If there are any, and if there
are no such leaks it viii serve to pre-
vent them from creeping into the treas
ury.
The people ought to know from an
official source what the money of the
county is buying when il is spent, and
there is whole lot of merit in the
publicity act when it is made to give
the public the information about coun-
ty affairs that the law contemplates

in teaching and i'm time.

American Education Week

The week of November 1924 has
been designated throughout the United
States as American Educational Week.
The president of the United States and
the governor Of Arkansas have issued
proclamations to this effect. State
Superintendent A. b. Hill, in an ad-
dress to the people Of the state, says
II am asking all teachers, school
officials, patrons and friends of the
public schools TO spend the week de-
signnted in giving serious cOnsidera-
lion to the many and varied problems
connected with our educational system.
II ii has weak places, let MS locate
them and strengthen them. If 1t is
falling from any cause whatever, let
us try to locate the cause and apply
The proper remedy. Let us do our best
TO see that Arkansas shall assume more
fully her responsibility to all the chill
dren i'm the state, regardless of where
they may live, or what may be their
local environment"

tional association the state Depart
ment of Education and all other Edu-

tendents and city superintendent

general meeting should be called AT
which a permanent chairman should
he elected and other necessary officers
chosen and committees appointed to be-
come responsible for the program. In
towns and smaller cities general com
mittees will be sufficient, but in larger
cities and counties there should be dis
trlct committees. In the counties there
should be one or more persons in each
district who win become responsible
for program for the entire week
