A fresh note of modernism is injected into this Chinese Chippendale

rp HERE seems to be simply no limit
to the ingenuity of these lighting
people nowadays. A press of a but-
ton, and they give you daylight, sun-
light, or moonlight at any hour of the
day or evening—right in your own
living room. And it’s almost laugh-
ably simple!
Lighting panels built into hidden
places produce the effect. They are
often used over the latest kitchen sinks,
although in such cases, ordinary col-
orless bulbs are employed. Recently
this type of lighting has become quite
popular in living rooms, particularly
where there is a bay window.

were from 20 to 25 places with
small private schools in Texas.
After the Revolution the number
rose sharply. But everything was
unsettled and teachers changed
rapidly. The more permanent of
these schools during the Republic
of Texas were Independenc Acad-
emy, Rutersville College,San Augus
tine University, Matagorda Acad-
emy, McKenzie Institute, Marshall
University, Nacogdoches Univer-
sity, and the Academy at Hunts
ville that became the Austin Col-
lege.
A public system of education was
established by law in 1854. Schools
sprang up in great numbers all
over Texas. They were not, how-
ever, public, in our sense of the
word. They were private schools
receiving public subvention. The
tuition of indigents was paid first
and any balance, usually a pittance,
went for the tuition of other chil-
dren. There were around 1,200
schools in over one hundred coun-
ties before the war. Universities,
colleges, academies were organized
in great numbers. There were at
least 150 in all. The Masons, Meth-
odists, Catholics, Baptists, and
Presbyterians were the chief agen-
cies in their establishment. But
local initiative was even more ac-
tive than all these other agencies
combined.
From 1871 to 1875 Texas was

day had dawned for the interests of
the children of Texas. He had tak-
en as his ideal statesman, that
great educational pioneer, Thomas
Jefferson, who took more pride in
founding the University of Virginia
than in his authorship of the De-
claration of independence.
In accordance with the demand
of Lamar a law was passed in
1839 setting aside three leagues of
land for a school in each county
and fifty leagues for two colleges
or universities. Andrew J. I ates
was sadly disappointed with this
law and wrote President Lamar a
lengthy letter. He outlined a com-
plete system of State education
from the primary school through
the graduate department of the
Univeristy. As a consequence a
system of education was provided
in the new law of 1840. Strange
to say, not a single public school
was ever established on these local
endowments. The fact is, State ed-
ucation was neither understood nor
desired by the rank and file of
Texans a century ago.
The leaders of education in
Texas a century ago pinned their
aith to a land endowment policy.

Austin, Texas, June 8—Dr. Fred-
erick Eby, distinguished veteran
professor of education at The Uni-
versity of Texas gave what is be-
lieved the most comprehensive
brief analysis of the progress of
education in Texas ever prepared,
when he recently addressed up-'
proximately one thousand candid-
ates for degrees at the spring com-
mencement of that institution.
Dr. Eby said in part:
Denominational education domin-
ated the field of secondary and
higher education in Texas down to
the dawn of the present century.
From 1830 to 1860 Portes tan t pas
tors came into the Southwest in
great numbers. Down to The Civil
War 90 percent of all teachers were
men, and 90 percent to 95 percen
f these men were preachers. Wit
out few exceptions every church
building was also a school house
Pastors received little or no salary
for preaching; they eked out a
scant living by teaching. Teaching
and preaching were but two mean,
of making Christians.
For the greater part of a cen-
ury lay side by side in the office
of the Secretary of State two docu-
ments; the one, the Declaration of
Independence with its arresting ac-
cusation against the Mexican re-
gime; the other, was a stirring
memorial signed by sixtytwo men
calling upon Congress to establish
a system of public education and to ।
