The conference for Education
in Texas is sending out model
plans for one, two and 3-room
school buildings, which are sent
free to trustees and teachers on
application. The Conference for
Education in Texas believes that
the children of the common sc-
hools districts of the State are
entitled to modern, conveniences
and sanitary schoolhouses. The
Conference, therefore, desires
the active co-operation of all
friends of education in the State,
to assure the construction of bu-
ildings that conform to the stand-
ard requirements of school archi-
tecture.

Only forty-four babies were
born in Pasadena, California in
July. Pasadena is a city of 25,
000 or more population and is the
home of many millionaires, some
of them multi-millionaires. They
are long on money, but short on
babies the strongest agency for
happiness in the old, cold world.
Many of them are childless.
While busy accumulating wealth
and wearing upon their neck the
yoke of social follies, they blindly
throw away the oppertunity for
future happines, in the days that
are sure to come, when the heart
has only memories of the past
and hopes for the unknown fut-
ure to sustain it after all desires
are dear, after youth and stren-
gth have fled. How desolate are
those big, luxuriantly furnished
homes.
Though flowers grow all about
in rich profusion, and shed their
fragrance prodigally throughout
the decorated halls and gilded
rooms, and every device of those
skilled in things most pleasing
to the body and to the eye is pur-
chased at their price, they can’t
buy the thing that feed the lone-
some heart, and teach it the
sweets of hallowed love. They
can not, in their age, when all
the fascinating thrills of wealth
have been tried in vain for hap-
piness. but the clasp of baby fin-
gers, or purchase the prattle of
infant’s tongue. How sad must
be the life of those who have ne-
ver heard the laughter ringing
form a little darling’s rich red
lips, nor felt the hug of dimple
arms, the softness of cheeks, un-
touched by Wrinkle’s hoary
hand! To never have known the
joys of parentage, to strive and
toil and fret and fume all life
long, just for the empty husks
and tasteless crumbs, and tooth-
less, childress, to sit in the cor-
ner, while the shadows slowly
creeps along, gradually shutting
out the light, waiting for the end
is sadder than the saddest words
that were ever pressed on print-
the golden sun’s yellow rays were
fever laden. It is a quality of the
human mind to forget the sorrows
yesterday in the pleasures of today.
It is best that it is so, for if the
heart carried within it unending re
colllections of the anguish it en-
^red, if tomorrow inherited the
”ty annoyances of today, there

The San Antonio Express in a
recent editorial hinted that if
North Texas insisted on forcing
her prohibition policies on South
Texas that “secession” was pos-
sible. Well now wouldn’t that
set your nerves on edge. Like
the small child at play, if you
can’t have your way just kick
out and quit the game. It is all
right for North Texas to yield to
the rule of the liquor traffic and
submit to its infamies, but when
there is a possibility of this
changing up in a few years, at
best, then the San Antonio sec-
tion will simply “secede” and
have a little state of their own
and run things to suit themsel-
ves. Well, we are not a native
Texas, but as an adopted son of
Texas we do not believe the time
will ever come that the Lone
Star will ever be divided, not
even by the influence of the liq-
uor traffic. There is too much
state pride, too much sacred his-
tory surrounding the Big Old
State for her sons to ever con-
sent to see her divided and if
ever the North Texas sentiment
can make the state go dry, these
will be nothing left for dear old
South Texas to do but walk up
to the “lick log” and eat hay like
good children and any talk of
secession givesone that “tired
feeling.”
