At a meeting of th ft Faculty of the
College Of Industrial Arts held in the
Reading Room of the Library, Admin-
istration Building, Friday morning,
several important subjects bearing up-
on the welfare, present and future, of
the College were discussed Several
members of the Faculty suggested that
as a mean, of making the people of the
State better acquainted with the work
of the College of Industrial Arts, and
of the State Normal School in Denton,
the Texas Legislature which meets In
January, 1921, should be invited to vis-
it In a body, the College and the Nor-
mal School.
A motion was made, seconded, and
unanimously adopted requesting Dr.
Bralley, the President of the College,
to take up the proposition at a suitable
time with the State NormaJ College,
and the citizens ’of Denton, with a view
to working out a eo-operatlve plan
In extending an invltatlo to the Thir-
ty-seventh Legislature to visit the Col-
lege of Industrial Arts and the State

The members of tffe Faculty were
quite enthusiastic over the proposition,
ond all of them seemed to believe that
the citizens of Denton and the Normal
School would gladly co-operate in the
movement.

“Why Can’t We Have Good Schools In
the Country?”
One of the school supervisors of the
state department of education recently
talked to a young girl on the train, who
lives on a farm in the black land belt.
She was a girl of about fourteen,
-whose square little body and straight-
forward sincerity of eye Indicated un
usual physical and mental strength.
She said she loved ber farm home al-
though the work of cooking, canning,
-washing and Ironing, sewing and sotrie-
• times working in the field was heavy.
She did not mind the work, but she
wanted more than anything to go to
school in order that she might be a
teacher.
The year before she had finished the
sixth grade which was as high aa the

VOTE AND WORK FOR THE SCHOOL AMENDMENT

NEED OF MANY WORKERS.
It ia when we try to inform the people of Texas as to the merits of
any measure that we realise that Texas is no( really a state- it is an
empire. Compare the Lone Star State, with its 252 counties with its
neighbor, Oklahoma, which has 77 counties, or with tiny Delaware,
which has three. It soon becomes obvious that to give adequate pul/
Hefty to even the most meritorious measure, an army of workers is
needed.
When we remember, further, that the general attitude in Texas has
been to vote against constitutional amendments, we realize that the
> patriotic citizens of Texas must go out Into the highways *mj byway*

, J make it the notable exception to the rule its friends all predict it will

Ant-Proof Kitchen Cabinet
f
The Seller* Kitchen Cabinet might well be
called the Queen of Ba binets if it possessed
only two or three of its distinctive featured.
But it is characterized by FIFTEEN long-
wanted improvements, which no other cabi-
net combines.
The 50-pound capacity flour bin is Automa-
tically lowered to the level of the work table
where it may be filled with ease.
A Dust-Proof Ba»d Top underneath the
White Enameled-Steel Work Table keeps
drawers and contents dust-free.
A full-Sliding White Porcelain Work Table
allows an increased working sapce of 600
square inches.
Tne cabinet is made of Solid Oak with a
beautiful Oil Hand-Rubbe<| Finish; it is
white enameled throughout; has Ant-Proof
Casters, Dove-tail-joint construction. Auto-
matic Base Shelf Extender, a glass sngar
bin on a swinging bracket (6-lb. capacity),
and seven glass pepper, salt and spice con-
tainers.

The Russel Sage Foundation In its recent investigation of ail the
states of the Union ranks Texas as thirty ninth in education Shall r
state that is first in size, first in agricultural products, third in pro-
duction of oil. and seventh in wealth be satisfied to remain thirty-ninth

DANGER TO DEMOCRACY.
Texas is about ten per cent illiterate Twenty-five per cent of our
children do not advance beyond the fourth grade. The average Is the
sixth grade. That means that, in future, we shall have a sixth grade

Remember that the difference in j
support of schools rests with the local
patrons, not with the state.
The state gives the same per capita
to every child in Texas; but it favors
ths country ehild in that it makes a
special appropriation of $2,000,000 for
rural schools.
A MISTAKEN IMPRESSION. 4
A few persons have expressed the opinion that, since their districts 4
receive from the state more than they pay to the state, it would be 4
best to vote against the amendment, and let the state support their 4
schools. The mistake in this is (1) that the state can not and will 4
not continue to support those who do not help themselves and (2) 2
that such an attitude is condemned by most of the right minded patrl- ♦
otic citiz.-ns of the state. The four million dollar appropriation was
made by the legislature to tide over the emergency until the amend- 4
ment can pass The legislature will have no convenient surplus i T
year, fo appropriate; for the tax rate has been lowered. Moreover,
many members of the legislature have declared that, if the people
vote down this amendment in November, they will make no More ap-
propriations to the schools from the general revenue. Some of them
have asserted that they will even vote to discontinue the two million-
dollar appropriation for rural schools. If the amendment fails to pass
the schools will have no recourse. Two thousand of them closed their
doors last year Our teachers will flock to other states, where a living
wage is offered Many have already gone.
STATE SUPPORT THE SAME FOR CITY AND COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
The politician frequently harps on the difference in support of coun-
try and city schools. This difference lies in local support. The state
gives the same per capita for the country and the city child It
favors the country child, in that it makes a special appropriation of
two million dollars for rural schools While Texas stands tenth in
state support of schools, it ranks as forty-fourth in local sunnort. Shall
thia continue?
NATURE OF THE AMENDMENT.
Texas now has a district tax limit of fifty cents pn the hundred dol- ' ’
lars of property valuation. Only two states. Texas and Virginia have 11
so low a limit. Half of the states of the Union have no limit on the ’1
( ( tax that districts may vote for school purposes The unjust side of 4'
< . thia tax limit is that while large cities are exempt from this provision •
< > the village school and the country school are shackled by its terms * '
; ; The proposed amendment to article 3 of section VII of the constitution !
< > will grant the same prlv'fege to all schools—It .will permit the country *1
