Spring for some good "but forgot-

general overhauling and cleaning up.
And a lucky thing it is for all of us.
Thanks to this tradition, we can
really get inside our homes and find
space enough to tuin around; for on
this annual judgment day we brave-
ly cast out all kinds of things that
are worn or outdated and take in-
ventory of what is left. And some

this:
With the coming of the spring why

brightening up of our homes anti

be most refreshing to have some of
the old rusty buildings in the busi-

with a new coat of paint. No, we are
not trying to sell paint or to give
some free advertising to any one who
does sell it; but we are trying to
sell OUT town on the idea of making

(By W. E. Marshall, executive sec-
retary equalization division. State
Department of Education.)
(Thiij is the first of a series of
articles relating to Texas Public
School Education, as authorized by
the Public School Laws of Texas,
Article 2658).
In keeping with the avowed policy
of the State Department of Educa-
tion to co-operate with the
agencies of government, both
and local, for the advancement
education in Texas, Dr. L. A.
state superintendent of public
tion, and Dr. George W. Cox, Texas
State Health Director, have appointed
a joint committee to correlate the
work of both departments to the end
that our children might become more
perfect physically as well as men-
tally;
The following members of the De-
partments of Education and Health
were appointed: T. M. Trimble, first
assistant state superintendent; W. A.

rand, renegade ranch hand, killed
himself after -trying to—rob -a bank
in his home town today while more
than 100 men cautiously closed in on
what’ they believed was his hiding
place on Sawtooth mountain about 40
miles away.
The 26 year old Tarzan put a bul-
let through his head with one of his
six-shooters after bank employes and
townspeople had wounded him, Verne
St. John, Powell druggist, said.
John Gawthrop, 20, a bank clerk
said Durand used a shield when he
shot his wry from the First Na-
tional bank, was wounded fatally
either by Durand or by misdirected
shots of Powell residents.
St. John said Durand and Gaw-
thorp went down together. The raw-
meat eating fugitive then crawled
back into the bank and killed him-
self.
While possemen with trench mor-
tars and 37 millimeter guns built a
cordon around Sawtooth mountain
and slowly closed in on the place
from which Durand killed two posse
members Wednesday, tl|e fugitive
slipped from his hiding place and
forced Harry Moore, short wave op-
erator at a ranch, to take him to
Powell.
Durand had been hunted for nine
days, after he kidnaped a deputy"
sheriff, broke from the Cody, Wyo.,
jail to avoid serving a 6-month sen-
tence for game poaching, and killed
two officers who tried
him.
Fleeing from a posse
the two officers March
escaped into the mountains of north-
western Wyoming. The first clue to-
his whereabouts came day before yes-
terday, when a rancher and his wife
reported Durand forced them to drive
him from their home near Powell
to the Clark Forks Canyon country.
A posse of more than 100 men im-
mediately started in pursuit. They
trapped him in a rocky fortress on
Sawtooth mountain late Wednesday.
Mrs. M. Y. Stokes visited this week
with her son, M. Y. Stokes. Jr., in-
Dr. Van C. Tipton. field director, di-
vision of maternal and child health;
, Dr. D. B. Harmon, consultant in men-
tal health education; and W. R. Bo-
dine, health education consultants
As is well known, the child must
be in good physical health in order
to be able to do his best mental
work. And according to both Dr.
Woods and Dr. Cox, the best man-
ner in which to accomplish this is for
the education and health departments
of Texas to work in close co-operation.
As a result of this co-operation in
recent years the schools
have established physical
departments, many have
health officers and give
in various phases of health protec-
tion and prevention of diseases, and
the Texas Safety program a*nd in-
struction today ranks among the top
four in the United States.
In taking up these phases of edu-
cation, it is my intention to handle
them in our installments: first, physi-
cal education; second, health educa-
tion; third, mental health education;
fourth, safety education. The balance
of the series are to deal with school
administration, school finances, radio
education, thecurriculum, the part the
state and the local rommnutties should
play in the education of Texas youth,
equalization aid, crippled children,
vocational aid, and so on.
We know that education iJ" the

recreative value in later life. It is
known, of course, that the health and
vitality of the visceral organs de-
pend upon the muscular system. And
without the efficient functioning of
these organs it would be impossible
for the individual to live with any
degree of efficiency. And it is the
purpose of physical education to de-
velop the child in all his physical
organs in order that he might de-
vote much more concent rati ve effort
on his mental faculties.
With the above in mind, it is in-
teresting to note that the law pro-I
vides that “instruction in physical ’
education shall be established and i
made part of the course of instruc-
tion and training in the
and secondary schools of
superintendent of public
instruction shall prepare
instruction for the public
the state,” and so on. This has been
done.
As a result, adequate indoor spaces
are rapidly being provided to take care
of classes during inclement wea-
ther. sanitary and adequate dressing
room space is provided, first aid rooms
arc becoming common in most schools,
mirrors and waste disposal
being provided.
Also, health examinations
ing recommended at least

cipate in any sjkirt it is recommend-
ed that he have a doctor's certificate
stating

It is clear, therefore, that no boy
or gill will be allowed to take part
in a sport for which he or she is
not physically able. And the semi-
annual health examinations will un-
doubtedly disclose physical handicaps
which should and would be immedi-
ately remedied if knowledge of them
were know.
Of course, it is impossible to ex-
pect every school in Texas to attain
perfection in all forms of physical
education, but the result of health
examinations, regular physical edu-
cation activities, such as basket ball,: --------.

ter he is provided with ample blan-
kets and warm clothing. His health
is carefully protected. The services
of a graduate physician are avail-
able to each camp. ItJs the duty of
this physician to look after the phy-
sical condition of the enrollee and
the sanitary conditions of the camp.
The enrollee works in the open under
trained supervisors; and 5 years’ ex-
perience has proved that the physi-
cal condition of enrollees, in general,
is consideitably improved by the
wholesome, active life in CCC camps.
He has, in addition, ample leisure
in which, within certain restrictions,
he may amuse himself or enter into
the planned recreational and educa-
tional activities offered him under
trained guidance.
In camp he is in constant associa-
tion with nearly 200 other young
men. This offers him the opportuni-
ty to make new friends, to discover
new interests, to train his own apti-
tudes, and to develop the qualities
of leadership.
The enrollee is required to meet
such regulations as are essential to
the orderly functioning of the camp
as a whole and the efficient accom-
plishment of the work engaged tn.
Enrollees work 8 hours a day, 5
days a week (except in emergen-
cies).
Enrollees receive $30 per month,
minimum cash allowance.
Some of the jobs in w'hich CCC
enrollees receive instruction include:
Auto Mechanics.
Bridge construction.
Bulldozer operation.
Cabin construction.
Carpentry.
Concrete construction.
Diesel engine operation.
Drafting.
Jackhammer operation.
Landscaping.
Large-scale cooking.

He learns *. . . in the great out-
doors—how to work—how to live—
and how to get ahead.
In the conservation of the natural
resources of this vast area, the en-
rollee learns skills, under the mature
leadership of trained technicians,
which develop his abilities, broaden
his interests, and prepare "him for
useful citizenship.
Living in a 200-man camp, follow-
ing a daily schedule of camp life,
he learns through self-imposed dis-
cipline to respect the rights of oth-
ers, to be tolerant and cooperative,
and discovers the importance of reg-
ular habits, orderliness, neatness, and
the value of clean hvnig.
In his leasure he is offered acad-
emic instruction from elementary
through college graduates. He is giv-
en additional off-the-job instruction
along the lines of work used in the
conservation program in which he is
engaged. He is offered vocational
training—and supplementary reading
courses. All camps have separate
school buildings and workshops.
All camps have libraries.
Planned athletic and recreational
programs are part of ail camp sched-
ules.
Eagerly grasping the opportunity
thus offered, the CCC enrollee has
built forest-fire protection systems,
and planted vast forests for the fu-
ture. He has built roads qnd trails,
dams and terraces. He has made or
developed parks that give recreationMr. and Mrs. C. S. Bingham of

Austin, March 23.—After consider-
able argument in opposition, the sen-
ate Thursday passed, by a vote of
21 to 5, a rural school aid deficiency
bill appropriating $1,518,000 as sup-
plemental to the general allocation of
$11.000,00f) for the current bien-
nium.

surviving what Senator A. M.
Aiken Jr. of Paris said were crip-
pling amendments, the house bill now
will go to the Governor’s office for
his signatured
Arguing for the proposal, Senator I
Aiken said it had been the Legis- I
lature’s fault that the general appro- • |
prist ion was insufficient to pay costs
of rural aid. 1
“By this bill we are simply pay-
ing teachers what they otherwise
would lose due to the growth of (
school enrollment, fluctuations in tax
rates and valuations and increasing
terms in some rural schooh from
seven to eight, and riine months a
year,” Aiken said. "The teachers have
lost part of their salaries the past
four years and I don’t think it’s fair.”

ter with their adviser made a trip
