AUSTIN. — One of the pending
amendments to the Constitution
would make four changes in Sections
3 and 5 of Article VII.
Section 3 has to do with the dis-
position of the available school fund.
It declares, among other things, that
it shall be the duty of the State
Board of Education to set aside a
sufficient amount “to provide free
textbooks for the use of the children
attending the public free schools of
this State.” One of the changes the
pending amendment would make in
that section is to insert, after the
words “set aside,” the clause “under
such regulations and in such manner
as may be provided, by law.” As it is,
the Board of Education is under no
statutory regulation in performing
the ministerial act of setting aside
and managing the fund for the pur-
chase of textbooks, but could be put
under such regulation if this pro-
posed change were made. Just what
regulation it is desired to impose has
not been explained.
The other change which the pend-
ing amendment proposes to make in
Section 3 is of much more conse-
quence. The amendment would strike
out the words “the public schools of
this State,” and substitute for them
the words “any school in this State.”
What would be the effect of the
change is of course obvious. At pres-
ent it is only the children who attend
the public free schools who get text-
books from the State free of cost,
whereas they would be given to the
children attending all parochial and
private schools as well, if the pending
amendment were adopted.
One of the changes which would
be made in Section 5 is complemen-
tary to this one which would be made
in Section 3. The other change that
would be made in Section 5 has to
do with the apportionment of the
available school fund, and is probably
the most important of the four
changes which it is proposed to make;
To make the proposed changes
clear it will be necessary to quote
Section 5, as it now reads, in full:
Section 5. The principal of
all bonds and other funds, and
the principal arising from the
sale of the lands hereinbefore
set apart to said school fund,
shall be the permanent school
fund, and all the interest deriv-
able therefrom and the taxes
herein authorized and levied
shall be the available school
fund, to which the Legislature
may add not exceeding 1 per
Cent annually of the total value
of the permanent school fund,
such value to be ascertained by
the Board of Education until
otherwise provided by law, and
the available school fund shall
be applied annually to the sup-
port of the public free schools.
And no law shall ever be en-
acted appropriating any part of
the permanent or available
school fund herein provided
shall be distributed to the sev-
eral counties according to their
scholastic population as may be
provided by law.
Distribution of Fund
If amended as proposed, Section
5 would remain unchanged to and in- .

FORT WORTH. — King Cotton,
who already clothes the world, is on
his way to feed it as the result of ex-
periments by C. W. McMath, young
Texas A. and M? graduate.
For after three years of research,
McMath has developed a cottonseed
flour that has won the approval of
the American Medical Association’s
committee on foods.
The flour, light tan in color and
smooth and fine in texture, is being
blended with wheat flour in the mak-
ing of breads, cakes and pastries.
McMath began his research after
he was sought out by T. J. Harrell,
past president of the Texas Cotton-
seed Crushers Association and long
an advocate of the food properties of
cotton seed. Promised a job upon
graduation, McMath devoted his en-
ergies to studying all phases of cot-
tonseed.

greatly more than $50,000.
Other Changes
Of the other of the two changes
which would be made in Section 5
that which would abolish scholastic
population as a mandatory basis for
apportioning the availible school
fund among the counties and leave
the Legislature free to substitute
any other method and measure prob-
ably will be regarded by many as be-
ing much the most important of the
four which would be effected by the
adoption of the pending amendment.
Desultory efforts have been made for
a good form of this kind; reform be-
cause apportionment on the basis of
scholastic population has given rise
to several serious evils and abuses.
For one thing, it supplies a sore
temptation to pad the census. The
numerous scandals of that character mals and severe winters made se-
which have been almost an annual rious inroads on the Colonial flocks,
harvest for twenty years or more are ] so most of the animals were kept in-
directly attributable to the practice
of opportunity on the basis of scho-
lastic population, since the greater
the number of phantom scholastics
with which the census rolls of a coun-
ty are peopled the greater the sum
it will get from the State for the sup-
port of its schools. Also, it is a prin-
ciple of distribution which encour-
ages a disregard of the compulsory
education law. There are numerous
districts, especially in the South-

the simple expedient of getting all
their scholastics on the census rolls,
with some scores of phantom ones in
addition, and then closing their eyes
to violations of the compulsory at-
in getting
to operate
their schools without having to tax
the property-owning patrons. Mexi-
can and negro children are especial-
ly useful for this purpose.
The method usually suggested as
a substitute for that of apportioning
the available school fund on the ba-
sis of scholastic population is that of
using the average daily attendance.
That or any method which the Legis-
lature might prefer to it could be put
into practice if the pending amend-
ment were adopted.

adopted textbooks free to every
child of scholastic age, attending
any school within the State; and
the available school fund herein
provided shall be distributed to
the several counties as may be
provided by law and applied in
such a manner as may be pro-
vided by law.
The first of the two changes which
thus would be made in Section 5,
> agreeably to one of the changes that
1 would be made in Section 3, would
! authorize the Board of Education to
supply State-adopted textbooks free
' of cost to the pupils of scholastic age
attending private and parochial
■ schools, as well as among those at-
' tending the public free schools.
The second of the two changes
which would be effected in Section 5
would allow the available school fund
to be distributed among the counties
on some other basis than that of
scholastic population, which now is
the only measure of apportionment
the Constitution countenances.
With respect to the proposal to dis-
tribute free textbooks among chil-
dren of scholastic age attending pri-
vate and parochial schools, the chief
argument, and almost the sole one,
made in behalf of it was that the par-
ents of such children are taxed to
buy the State-adopted textbooks
which the Board of Education dis-
tributes among the children attend-
ing the public free schools and that
it would be doing no more than
equity to allow them to participate
in the benefits. To this argument
there was sometimes added the state-
ment that the State is saved a con-
siderable expendiure by the mainte-
nance of the private and parochial
schools whose pupils would receive
free of cost books they are now made
to pay for.
Opposition Argument
The argument against the
posal as made in the Legislature,
made up of several objections. One
was that to give textbooks to
children of parochial schools would
be violative of at least the spirit of
that clause of Section 5, still re-
tained, which declares that no part
of the permanent or available school
fund “ever shall be appropriated to
or used for the support of an secta-
rian school.” Another objection urged
was that the Department of Educa-
tion exercises a large authority over
the public free schools which can be
used to prevent abuses of the free
textbook privilege, whereas it has no
authority over private schools which
could be used for that purpose. Of
course this objection was countered
with the contention that all author-
ity of that kind which may be needed
could be given by statute.
A third objection offered was that
if it is equitable for the State to give
textbooks to private schools, the
same equity would demand that the
State pay the salaries of their teach-
ers.
Such is the issue of principle, as
is was fashioned by the debates in
the Legislature. As to the economics
involved in the proposal, the number
of pupils of scholastic age attending
private and parochial schools in this
State is estimated all the way from
50,000 to 100,000. The report of the
Department of Education for the bi-
ennium 1932-34 shows the cost of
textbooks per scholastic to have been
J7.97c in 1933 and 68.1c in 1934, to
which are to be added some adminis-
trative and other expenses which
probably would not be appreciably
increased. Apparently, the added ex-
pense resulting from adoption of the
amendment would be much less than
$100,000 annually, and perhaps not

Back to his work went the young
chemist. Several months later he
found the answer to that problem.
Then he turned machinist, evolving
designs for machinery new to the in-
dustry. His plans met with skepti-
cism but the equipment was built and
installed.
Tests proved them practical and
cottonseed flour became a reality.

peninsulas fenced off from the main-
land. While Indians no longer are a
menace to wool growers, predatory
animals, parasites and poisonous
plants still cause great losses to the
industry.
As cotton clothed the Colonists of
the South, wool clothed those of the
North. Private homes then were
America’s woolen factories. The
American wool trade began when
western part of the State which, by sheep-owning families exchanged
their wool and surplus homespun for
other commodities. With the in-
crease in Colonial population the de-
mand for wool cloth rose and the
Federal government as well as local
governments encouraged wool-grow-
ing.
By 1810, just two centuries after
the first sheep arrived from Eng-
land, there were 7,000,000 sheep
grazing over the settled areas of
Eastern United States. Four years
later there were 10,000,000. About
this time foreign wool flooded the
United States markets and the wool
industry was as hard-hit as other in-
dustries in the panic of 1819.
As large American cities and
towns took form, demand for home-
spuns waned and factory-made wool-
ens took their place. Prices paid for
wool by manufacturers encouraged
