Irregularities existing- in pre-
election proceedings were given as
the reason for the unfavorable re-
port. Although no definite pfoint
of irregularity was pointed out by
the bonding attorney, it was
thought by members of the board
that the irregularity consisted of
failure to set out in the petition
the interest rate and the; fact that
a part of the funds were to be
used for purchase of a building
site. These points/ were inclu in
the election ordur and in the post-
ed notices, it was pointed out.
Notice of thd' adverse report was
contained in ‘a/ letter from W. li.

who is handling the matter for

W. W. Shaw Visits Dallas
Times-Herald Office Monday
Dtlan Colby D. Hail of Texas
Christian university, Fort Worth,
delivered the commecemeint ser-
mon to the) 1937 graduating class
here Sunday night. Dean Hall’s
subject was “Becoming” and1 his
text, John 1, 3:12.
The speaekr dxpresssed the be-
lief that the incorporation of a
religious service in high school
graduation exercises wa« fitting
because “nothing puts the spirit
of motivation in to a person so
much as religion.”
The scripture used for the text
reminded; him of a house with
t^rte windows, the speaker said,
the first of which looked out upon
a very small garden enclosed by
a. high fence. This garden, though
small, was beRutiful to look upon
and its beauty led one to the sec-
ond window where a view of the
larger part of the garden might
be observed. The beauty of this
scene caiused one/ to rush to the
third window, he said, where the
view was unlimited, reaching to
the far distant mountains and lur-
ing the imagination to go where
the eye could not follow.
There are some who would have
one believe that man is only au
animal, Dean Hall said, telling of
a doctor who stated that one
.could disect the human body,find-
ing and naming every nerve and
muscle, but that he could not find
a soul, therefore concluding that
there was no such a thing as a
soul.The chemist earn analyse the
body, he said, reducing it to a
chemical formula,and might con-
clude thereby that man was noth-
ing more than a chemical formula.
And perhaps he! is an animal, lie
said, since the bible teaches that
man was made of dust, the same
'dust that produce® grain and ani-
mals, but the bible goes further
•and states that God breathed into
the man’s nostrils and he became
a living soul. Aud that, in i\ >
opinion of the speaker, was to
best part of man. “Because mau
sins he does not become a mule
or an animal, Dean Colby said,
“he still remains the living image
of God.”
“We know not what we shall
become,” the speaker said. He ad-
vised us to imagine that our
knowledge is contained in a
sphere. The surface of that spheie
represents our ignorance, or whet
we do not know. As we increase
in knowledge thei sphere grow®
larger and as it grows larger the
surface increases, which is but an-
other way of saying that the
•more w! know the more there is
to learn, he said.
Our possibilities of “becoming”
are large, he said. We do not
know what we shall be or become!
but we do know that “however
crude! mankind may be, however
animalish, God hais put within man
a living soul, making it possible
for him to accomplish great
things, and! for the betterment of
