dr. BLANTON—
(Continued from page I)
the opportunity to do good for pub-
lic education. She plunged into the
difficult task of campaigning in a
state where there was natural an-
tagonism to vany woman running
for office. She was accused of be-
ing married and divorced, and of
being an atheist.
Her name was left off the ballot
in several counties and she had to
force the addition of her name by
threats of resorting to the courts.
She carried nearly every county in
the state primaries and was placed
on the ticket as the Democratic
nominee for the office, which is
equivalent to election.
In January 1919 she took the
office which she held for two
terms. While there she was in-
strumental in bringing about sev-
eral important changes in the edu-
cational set-up of the states. She
was largely responsible for the
passing of the free textbook
amendment, the certifciate law ol'
1921, which raised the requirements
for a permanent teacher's certifi-
cate to include a collage education,
and helped remove the clause from
the Constitution which said that no
district might vote more than a 50
cent school tax.
At the end of her second term
she chose not to run again, but de-
cided to resume her work at the
University on her master s degree,
which she received in time to
teach as adjunct professor in the
fall of 1923. She 'has been teach-
ing at the University ever since,
except for the year 1926-27, when
she took a leave of absence to get
her doctor of philosophy after re-
ceiving a scholarship for study at
Cornell University, which was of-
fered by the General Educational
Board of New York.
In 1927 she resumed her duties
here under the new rank of associ-
ate professor. In 1934 she was
made a full professor.
While at Cornell she majored in
rural education and minored in rur-
al sociology, and on her return she
was placed at the head of a newly
formed department, rural educa-
tion, of the College of Education.
Miss Blanton has been on modi
fied service for several years. In
1916 she was elected president of
the State Teachers Association of
Texas, the first woman to be given
such an honor. She has served as
vice-president of the National Ed-
ucation Association three times.
She was one of the twelve founders
of Delta Kappa Gamma, honorary
organization for women school
teachers, and was its first presi-
dent. The organization was found-
ed May 11, 1929 in Austin.
She recently resigned her posi-
tion as professor of educational ad-
ministration. It was ayepeted by
the Board of Regents Saturday.
She was teacher at Austin high
school in 1890-91. In 1891-1918
she taught English at North Texas
State Teachers College.
Miss Blanton received her bach-
elor of literature degree here in
1899.
She was a democrat, a Metho-
dist, and author. Her books in-
clude the Grammar Outline, 1908;
Supplementary Exercises in Punc-
tuation and Composition; Rank
Book of Information on Education
in Texas, Advanced English Gram-
mar, 1927; A Study of the Salaries
of Texas College Teachers, Child
of the Texas One-Teacher School,
1935.

HERE FROM STAUFOKD
Mrs. R. G. Fleming of Stamrord
spent last week-end here in the
home of her father, J. C. Woolfolk.
One of the biggest shallow sand
strikes since the Howsley & Mc-
Cord pool along Clear Fork of
Brazos river four years ago, is
showing ten milps south of 'Throck-
morton, when Gri3ham & Hunter
No. 12, Kelly ranch picked up 40
feet of sand from 580 to 620 feet,
carrying estimated two or three
million feet of gas and heavy spray
of oil.
D. L. Rose, Albany contractor, is
drilling the test on contract, due to
go to 3,000 feet, a new wildcat two
miles east of the old Kelly pool de-
veloped by Scbimmel Oil Corp. of
Fort Worth 20 years ago, and ope-
rators will by-pass the sand and
continue in big hole. Location is
in northwest quarter section 2,
B.feB. survey, an area that is dot-
ted with several shallow sand
pools, and some excellent produc-
tion in the 3200 foot sand.
The shallow sand producers in
southern Throckmorton county in
the Woodson area of southeast
Throckmorton, and in the Kelly-
McKeichan-Howsley & McCord
areas make up nearly half of the
Throckmorton county daily produc-
tion, depths ranging from 600 to
750 feet. Many of the operations
and materials have come out of
Albany. On the Katy yards in Al-
bany this week is a car load of
equipment belonging to Grisham &
Hunter.
Grisham & Hunter firm have
nearly 150 barrels daily production
from two shallow sand areas, de-
veloped within the past two years,
and has meant much to the oil pro-
duction in the county. The shallow
oil man in this part of Texas has
carried the burden of new oil pro-
duction, as the deeper discoveries
have been few.
