Vocational Agri. Madison Kuykendall, enthusiasm has been aroused, as each
class is keeping its plans of making
money secret from the others in or-

tion and dramas for outside reading,
suited for the respective classes, will
be purchased with the money that is
raised. The names of the Clubs and

Name For School Paper.
With due apologies to Joseph Ad-
dison and Richard Steele, we have
selected THE TATLER as the name
of our high school paper. These
authors began the publication of The
Tatler and The Spectator, to intro-
duce to the people the prose style of
writing and also for the purpose of
informing them about topics that
would be of interest to them. We
chose THE TATLER for the name
of our paper because its purpose is
to inform the people of the work
that we are doing in our school. The
Senior Class has charge of editing
the paper and it will be counted as
part of our regular English work.

INSTALL NEW OFFICERS.
One of the nicest social affairs
ever given by the Baptist ladies was
the luncheon Tuesday complimenting
their incoming officers for the follow-
ing year.
The long table running the full
length of the Annex, was beautiful
with its white linen covering and
decorations of Zinnias in crystal
vases. Place cards bore the names
of only the members of the local
Society including the pastor, Bro.
Hill'.
The three courses were served by
four junior girls, while inspirational
talks were given by different mem-
bers of the Society.
After the luncheon Brother Hill
installed the new officers and all left
believing the occasion had inspired
us to a greater servee this year.

given every month instead of every who do good- high school work in un-
affiliated schools can enter the higher
institutions of learning with as good
standing as those who attend affiliat-
ed schools.
The county superintendents of
Texas are authorized to hold college
entrance examinations in May each
year. The SUate Department of
Education furnishes the que.I-ions
for the examinations and grades the
papers all applicants. A mini-
mum grade of 60 per cent will pass
a pupil for credit in a subject. An
applicant may be examined in as few
or as many subjects as are desired
the same year, and there is no limit
to the number of times an applicant
may be examined in the same sub-
ject. The' credits made have the
same value for college entrance as
those given by affiliated high schools,
and when the applicant has made a
total of 16 credits the State Depart-
ment of Education will issue a state
high school diploma signed by^ the
State Superintendent and the Clyef
High School Supervisor.
As evidence that these examirut-
tions are practical, I call attention
to a student in the Encinal School
who was granted a state high school
diploma two years ago after having
made eighteen and one half credits
on college entrance examinations.
On account of having two and one
half credits more than required for
college entrance this student was
given advanced standing by one of
the leading institutions of the state.
The student has failed in no course
during the two years spent in col-
lege, and by doing more than the re-
quired Amount of work and attend-
ing some summer terms, has finish-
ed three years’ college work in two.
It has been said that it is difficult
for the average student to pass col-
lege entrance examinations, but ex-
aminations taken by pupils in the
Encinal School do not indicate that
this is true. There were only nine
pupils in that school last May who
had studied high school English two
years. All of these pupils took the
examination for two credits in that
subject, and the lowest grade made
was 76 per cent, which was 16 per
cent above the grade required for a
pass. All pupils who had studied
algebra two years made two credits
in algebra, two making a grads of
100 per cent. There were some fail-
ures in other subjects, but some pu-
pils fail to make satisfactory grades
in affiliated schools.
It is hoped that the purpose of thi3
article will be understood. It is my
purpose to inspire boys and girls to
greater efforts and to point out to
them and to their parents a way for
them to get college entrance credits
and a high school diploma based on
college entrance credits, when it is
not practical for the pupils to attend
an affiliated school. My purpose
in mentioning the examinations tak-
en by Encinal pupils is to illustrate
that the method is being successtuily
used. If the pupils of one school
can use it successfully, why not
others ?
1 hardly think it necessary for me
to add that I am not opposed to
| affiliated schools. I am glad that
we have one in La Salle county; but
the large buildings, expensive equip-
ment, and required number of teach
ers make them impractical for small
isolated communities. For this rea-
son, the Department of Education has
wisely made other provisions tor
pupils who can not conveniently at-
tend affiliated schools.
I take this occasion to announce
that I will have held at Cotulla, on
the days set by the State Superin-
itendent, examinations for all high
school pupils in La Salle County
who noti'y me a reasonable time in •
advance that they desire them. I >

Beginning with this week The Co-
tulla High School will be represent-
ed in the Record under the heading
of “The Tatler.” The school did
not feel that it was able to finance a
publication, so the Record )s contri-
buting space that will answer the
purpose and will give the news of the |
school much wider circulation pos- j
sibly than if an independent school >
publication was issued.
“The Tatler” will be edited by the !
Senior Class, and the staff is as |
follows: Director, Miss Murphy;[
Assistant Director, Mrs. Wildenthal; j
