Any man re-enlisting in the
army within 20 days of his dis-
charge . may retain his rating
which he held at the time of his
discharge, and along with that he
will get a furlough based on 30
days per year of previous service,
however, no furlough will exceed
90 days. In addition he will re-
ceive a re-enlistment bonus of 650
dollars for each year of previous
service since last enlistment pro-
viding he enlists within three
months of his discharge. Muster-
ing out pay will also continue to
be paid.
Men enlisting for their first
time are still eligible for benefits.
Among some of these benefits 4a
the G1 Bill of Rights which will
guarantee a man a free college
education and is considered one of
the most beneficial, especially to
high school graduates just out of
school. Under the Bill of Rights
a man can receive a college educa-
tion equal to the number of years
he spends in the army plus one
year, thus, it would be possible
for a young man just out of school
to receive four years of college
education in the school of his
choice if he enlists for three years
in the army now. The ’ GI Bill of
Rights extends only to men en-
listing on or before October 6,1946.

FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS COST
STATE 6100,000,000 EACH YEAR
Use of the word “Free” in con-
nection with Texas public schools
is, in one respect, an irony.
For while the public schools are
free to students, they c^et mamas
and papas and other taxpayers
nearly $100,000,000 s year. This
does not include money for state-
owned universities and colleges.
A compilation just completed in
the State Department of Education
at Austin shows that total outlay
for public schools in Texas during
the 1043-44 school year was $952,-
430,513. For the following year
the amount will move nearer $100,-
000,000, though final figures on
it have not been assembled.
These amounts represent con-
tributions from all sources. To
maintain Texas’ public schools
there are five sources of funds.
Federal aid amounts to approxi-
mately $2,000,000 a year, says Miss
Myrtle Tanner of the education
department's statistical division.
The state's money for schools is
drawn from the available school
fund, the rural aid fund and state
buted by local districts, by coun-
ties and what is known as “philan-
thropic” grants or gifts to schools
for private individuals or concerns.
It Is estimated that the state
puts up more than 49 per cent of
the money which goes to operate
and maintain public schools.
Based on the total outlay, there
are two figures which may be
used in determining how much per
student Is spent in public educa-
tion.
During the 1943-44 school year,
enrollment in schools totaled 1,-
242.9S5 students. However, the
average daily attendance was but
1,006,994.
For accounting and other pur-
poses, schools are grouped into six
independent school classifications
and the rural aid schools.
In group one are schools with
100,000 and more students, Dallas,
Fort Worth, Houston and San An-

which he should choose and actu-
ally earn himself credits in that
subject If sufficient courses to
earn a degree are completed, the
degree will be given him.
Enlistment periods now open to
all men from the ages of 17
through 35 are—18 months, two
years, and three years. There are
many advantages in the 3-year en-
listment period, namely, that an
enlistee may choose his branch of
service and overseas theater.
All men who think that they
would be eligible to enlist In the
army are welcome to come in and
have a chat with the boys in the
recruiting office, located at 109
East Baker street in Brownwood
or see one of those friendly guys
visiting in your town who will be
wearing an army recruiting bend.
These men will be glad to help
anyone with questions which they
may have regarding enlisting in
the army to join the many thou-
sands now in the ranks of “Guard-
ians of Victory.” Now that the war
is over this job is a more interest-
ing one than that during the war
