The survey of our school dix-
I trict has been finished. We fig-
I tire that we have returns from
sixty-five percent of the homes in
the district. We were unable to
contact some because of lack of
time and some did not wish to
participate in the survey. We can,
we think, understand your atti-
tude since we are American citi-
zens. We just do not like for
people to snoop around, inquir-
ing into our personal business.
We w ill agree that it appears that
too much of this is becoming the
general rule and being free, in a
sense, we just do not approve of
it. But on the other ha,nd, such
practice is necessary to determine
the need, and to justify that need
m many cases. The Texas Edu-
cation Agency did not know very
n.uch about our community and
' w e, ourselves knew many things,
only in a general way and this
definite information will enable
