on the campus. Separate steel stair-
ways lead to each floor from the
front entrances. All partitions are
made of terra-cotta tile and plastered
with a sand-limo .finish. An Interior
court makes all the rooms outside
rooms. Shower baths are located on
each floor and the rooms are provided
with lavatories steam heat. and elec-
tric lights.
The building was designed by Prof.
F. E. Giesecke and was erected by
the Texas Building Company. The
corner-stone bears on one side the
name of President Milner 'and the
names of the directors of the college
and on the other side the following
Inscription: "Harvey Mitchell Hall.

all other states. Dr. Brooks was chair-
man of the committee on education

school population enrolled In school
in Texas is 65.46 per cent as com-
pared with an average in other states
of 72 per cent. Comparing Texas with
California which is one of the most

California is $59.01. The expenditure
per capita of the entire population In
Texas is $2.71 compared with $7.05 in
California.
