tion of the county unit system.
My work has been largely in the
mountain counties and the advance
ment in these districts has been very
marked in recent years. For instance.
seven years ago, there were fifteen
districts in Madison county that voted
no tax at all, depending for their
meager school terms on the small
amount received from the state ap-
portionmeH. At the same time. there
was not teacher in the county with
normal training, Now all of this hns
changed. In the last election not n
district in the county failed to vote a
tax and eighty of the one hundred
ana twelve districts voted full limit
often to twelve mills. Forty.two of
the more than one hundred teachers
employed in the county have normal
training and every where appears
new educational outlook. No county
in the state has made greater inn
pr0vement in its school than Madison"
Mr.. HolbrOok calls attention to the
comparatively low average of attend
ance in the public schools. On the face
of statistics it appears that the at
tendance is only fifty-four per cent of
the enumeration. "As matter of
fact says Mr.. Holbrook, "it Is much
less than this because of the long terms
in the city schools and the short terms
in the country. The statistics do not
reflect the exact truth. The attend
ance should be at least seventy per
cent of the enumeration, If the schools
/ function to their maximum. The city
schools have terms as long as 1SO days
year while there are still many rural
districts with not more than GO The
avearge term for the State should be
at least 40 days.
The present law providing for school
statistics is antiquated and obsolete.
1t is the same law that has been in
force for the last fifty years and much
of the data provided for its worthless.
while other important data is not pro-
vided for in the reports of the county
superintendent. If ii were possible to
call FOR special data or to provide for
information that would be valuable
! to the schools, expensive surveys would
be unnecessary. II is probable that a
bill will be introduced in the legisla-
ture to confer authority upon the
State Board of Education to regulate
the character Of reports to be made
by the county Superintendent.
1t is believed that this session of
the legislature will he constructively
educational. The time is right for leg
islation that will build up the schools
The people have demonstrated their
interest in the cause. GOvernor-elect
Terral is enthusiastic and has assured
the people that he will endeavor to
emulate the splendid example that has
been set by Governor McRae in sup
porting the public school system. A
new era is dawning for the schools of
Arkansas.
An effort will probably be made to
secure an amendment to the Consti-
tuition increasing the tax levy for
school purposes. The question of tax
alton. however, will be secondary to
that of the Improvements to he made
: in the school system that will increase
its efficiency

Quick Way To
BreakHeavyCough

Many have been astonished how
quickly a bad cough disappears
when treated with a new doubIe-
action treatment that is simple but
wonderfully effective.
Here Is the method, which is based
on remarkable prescription known
as DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Coughs; You simply take one tea
spoonful and hold It in your throat
for 15 or 20 seconds before swallow-
ing. without following with water
The prescription has a double ac-
tion. 1t not only soothes and heals
soreness and Inflammation, but also
loosens and removes the phlegm ana
congestion which are the direct
cause or the coughing. When the
cause is removed, the severest eoneh
quickly disappears.
This treatment is for coughs
chest colds, tickling, sore throat

LABOR's PATH AS SEEN IN WISCONSIN

LABOR'S PATH AS SEEN IN WISCONSIN
Out of the wisdom of his years. Frank J. Web
er pleaded in vain with the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor not to indorse any presiden-
tial candidate Mr.. Weber, father" of the state
organization, personally favors Senator LaFol-
lette But experience has taught him the jeop-
ardy to labor's interests when it officially, as
an organization, casts it's lot with the personal
fortunes of any individual. Mr. Weber would
not permit labor to indorse him in other years,
when he himself was seeking public Office
In this attitude Mr.. Weber is supported by the
record Of Samuel Gompers These men have
lived with labor for many years, shared its sor-
rows and joys. They went through another per-
iod when labor tied up with political organiza-
tion. And when the knights of Labor went to
Washington in behalf of desired legislation, they
had to accept political standing and were told
they could have nothing; they had supported a
candidacy that was defeated Mr.. Weber and
Mr.. Gompers have not forgotten.
Endorsement by labor as an organization will
not bring to favored candidates any support that
labor unoficially can not give them. The union
movement is economic If labor loses sight of
that fact and becomes embroiled in partisan pol
itics it stands to lose much For it should be re-
membered that laboring men differ in political
opinions and it is only on an economic basis
that they can be held together.
Labor can not afford to go chasing after will
o'-wisps, such as the dream of great Labor
party, modelled upon the British Labor party. 1t
should not be forgotten that Ramsay Macdonald
remains in power only by the sufferance of the
British old line parties, who could turn him out
of Office today if they wished. Labor leaders in
this country have seen too much Of the way
class domination works in government to adopt
it as their policy.-From the Milwaukee Journal

OUR WAsHINGTON LETTER
BY William L. Daley, National Editorial Ass
lSpecal to Chrnniclel

by William L. Daley, National Editorial Assn
Especial to Chronice)
Washington, July 30-There is a clause in the
Constitution of the United States which may ul-
tlmately upset the best laid plans of men thor
oughly versed in political management 1t is
possible, but not altogether probable, that one
of the three candidates for the Vice-Presidency
may yet be President of the United States, de-
spite the popular vote for the avowed candidates
for the Office At first glance this statement
presents an amazing state of affairs yet it is
strikingly confirmed by the greatest of all Am
erican documents, the Constitution. Privately,
political leaders make no secret of their deep
concern. But, in their public Utterances they
pay little attention to the situation because they
know that the ordinary voter does not compre-
hend the intricate machinery of presidential
elections and is concerned primarily with his
individual vote.
It is easy for the layman to scoff at the quail
flied prediction that Charles Bryan, Charles
Dawes, or Burton Wheeler have chance to be-
come President in place of Messrs. Coolidge
Davis and LaFollette. The leaders, however,
confronted by stern realities cannot afford to
affect indifference on the matters. There is
pronounced tendency on their part to cultivate
the electors and to interest themselves in con-
gressional campaigns. In fact, the LaFollette
organization has openly announced its intention
to pledge the present members Of the House in
order that LaFollette may have their support in
the event the Presidential election reaches the
House of Representatives. If LaFollette is in
position to hold the balance of power in such
contingency, the House may not be able to reach
a decision. AS a consequence, the choice Of the
President will fall upon the Senate.
Talks with those in charge of the various
campaigns indicate that the influence of the
Senate is not entirely theoretical. An intimate
study of the Constitution has developed facts of
great significance to political leaders Whenever
the electors have failed of choice the duties
of the House are perspiciously enumerated by
the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution
from the person having the highest number not
exceeding, on the list voted for as President the
House of Representatives shall choose immedl-
ately by ballot, President"
The ballots are taken by state eacn state'

states must be represented to constitute quor-

AN IMPORTANT RURAL PROBLEM

No careful study for the country at large has
yet been made of the best, cheapest, and safest
methods Of transporting children to and from
school. It is almost impossible to carry out such
a study at present because records have not
been kept, nor costs computed, nor methods
carefully compared, even though pupil transpor-
tation has been going on for the past so years,
and Al States spent over twenty-five millions of
dollars for that purpose in 1922. Rural school
superintendents, county boards of education
district trustees, and rural teachers are urged
to make special effort in the school year 1924
rs to keep complete records on pupil transporta-
tion. The amount of money invested in new
trucks cannot be charged to transportation costs
but is properly a part of plant outlay The
depreciation in value of the vehicies is part of
the transportation cost for that year. Interest on
the money invested in vehicles, drivers salaries,
oil, gasoline, repairs and general upkeep are all
items that should be used in figuring what it
costs to take the children to and from school
In the final working out of the figures some unit
which includes the three items-number of pu-
pills, time and distance-should be used Rec
ords should be kept of the various regulations
covering the transportation and how they work
out. If the school people of the Lnited States
VIII give close attention to their transportation
problems for year or two they can get the data
rom which successful practice may be determin-
