ERATH SCHOOLS
RECEIVE $9,000
TEACHERS' AID
Another $2,000 Expected Soon
To Complete First Half
State Payment
Half of the state salary aid for
Erath county schools arrived
Monday, J. S. Glendenin, county
superintendent, announced. Total
amount of money received ap-
proximates $9,000.00, with anoth-
er $2,000.00 expected in the near
future for the remainder of the
schools that did not get their
checks this week.
Reports on transportation aid
, ... dues have been made and this mon-
eounty have reported^ thiir ey Is expected within a short time,
Clendenin said. The office has
been notified that this aid is to be
sent on or about April 1, but it
may take longer than that, the
superintendent said, for state of-
ficials to check the reports. The
amount due, according to Supt.
Clendenin, is $16,442.00, but this
may be reduced some by the state
office. ■ *
Erath Has 27 Aid School
There are 27 schools in Erath
getting state aid, with the amount
of this aid Varying according to
the number of teachers employed
and grades taught; also according
to the school’s qualifications in
meeting requirements for receiv-
ing state aid.
The higher per capita appor-
tionment this year, as set by the
state, makes it possible for rural
schools getting this aid to re-
ceive more money than In the
past, when the per capital appor-
tionment was lower. The exact
amount of aid in this county, how-
ever, cannot be determined until
the final payment is made. Ap-
proximately $23,000.00 is expected
in salary aid alone. It was report-
ed. ---—--------—

County Gins 7,318
Bales of Cotton
During Past Year
Erath county ginned 7,318 bales
of cotton in 1937, as compared
with 7.602 bales in 1936, figures
jus't released at Washington show.
This year’s cotton acreage, as es-
tablished by the AAA, will ' be
35,368 acres. The county will have
to average 'only approximately
one-fifth of'a bale to the acre to
market as much cotton this year
as they did in 1937, and still will
receive government checks • for
cutting their acreage and comply-
with the 1938 farm program.
Cotton winnings by counties for
the State of Texas as announced
by the Federal Bureau of the Cen-
sus covering tho 1937 crop show
that Lubbock led the State in cot-
ton production, with Lynn county
a close second. Lubbock ginned a
total of 162,448 bales from that
crop while, Lynn ginned 152,622
bales. Elfis cdunty, many years
the leading cotton county of the
State, fell short with only 105,-
656 bales.
The ginnings for the 1937 crop
for the entire State were 4,947,-
099 bales, while in 1936 the Texas
total was 3,825,420 bales. Erath
county, however, lacked 184 hales
ginning as much in 1937 as In
1986. With the excellent season
now in the ground bunmor crops
are expected this year, Barring a

tation of insects.

< For years the annual judging
contests at John Tarleton College
hav© attracted hundreds of voca-
tional agriculture teachers, their
instructors and many visitors to
the Tarleton campgs and to the
ci,ty. Until recent years they came
from the north and east as far as
they still do from the south and
west. But last year and this, a
similar contest was staged at Arl-
ington and this event drew a large
portion of the school in that sec-
tion.

Outstanding Judges Named
With the plaudits of over 1,500
people present for the dedica-
tion of the Alexander school
gymnasium and auditorium, the
Alexander school district, school
board officials, teachers and Su-
perintendent John P. Culpepper
carried out one of the most suc-
cessful rural school programs
Wednesday night ever attempt-
ed In Erath county.
The .-auditorium has a seating
capacity of 1,200, but It was esti-
mated that '300 additional persons
crowded into the building for the
program that swiftly went for-
ward to* a' successful conclusion.
Music was furnished by the Ste-
phenviHe and Dublin high schpbl
bands. All county candidates were
present and given time to make
their announcements for office. In-
cluded in the throng attending
were a large number of business
and civic leaders from Stephen-
ville and Dublin, and secures of for-
mer citizens of Alexander who
now live in various parts of Tex-
as and elsewhere.
Dr. Wood Main Speaker
Dr. L. A. Wood, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, de-
livered the ^principal address. H.
E. Robinson, Brown wood, deputy
state superintendent in this dis-
trict, also appeared on the pro-
gram and introduced Dr. Wood,
who dedicated the new building.
Built during the past three
months entirely by local labor, the
structure, a joint.gymnasium and
auditorium, cost approximately
$10,000. Those who expressed opin-
ions on the building said it was
equal or above that of any similar
structure to be. found on a rural
school ground in this part of the
country.
It will serve the double purpose,
school officials said, of a place for
social gatherings, public speaking
programs and special entertain-
ments; as well as for athletic con-
tests and recreational activities
in the gymnasium part of the
structure.
Alexander Good School
During the past few years the
Alexander sehosl ha« made a great
deal of “progress as one of the out-
standing rural institutions of its
kind in Erath county, until now it
ranks as among the best in Texas.
An independent school district, it
boasts of a large number of affi-
liated credits, buildings and equip-
ment second to none for a rural
school, and takes its place with
StephenviHe and Dublin as an ed-
ucational institution of public
school rank.
Much of the recent progress
made by the school is due directly
to the efforts put forth by its sup-
erintendent, John P. Culpepper,
but it was the assistance provid-
ed him by the board of trustees,
the faculty, and the citizenship of
Alexander community that made
this progress possible.
Supt. Culpepper, along with
these school officials, faculty mem-
bers and Alexander citizens, is re-
ceiving the congratulations of the
admiring hundreds who were pre-
sent at the dedication program
Wednesday night and saw for
themselves what Alexander is do-
ing to promote the welfare of Its
school. t—
