Gentlemen:
To those of us that had the
benefit of training in the Waco
public school system, prior to
Woodrow Wilson and World War
I, we are most thankful to have
been privileged to have been
iupervised by such individuals as
E. T. Geneheimer,. Wm. E. Dar-
den. Supt I-attimore, Prof. Odom.
Miss Grace Molear. Kate Ed-
mond, Libby Davidson (all of
these at Brook Avenue, with the
exception of the first three
named. At the High School we
were worked upon by Miss Nellie

anything off of them.
Your attention is respectfully
called to the article, in today’s
morning paper on the editorial

ia a masterpiece by a Mr. Taylor

caption; “The School or NOT to

attention is called to the con-
cluding paragraph.

June is traditionally the month
for weddings, and many couple* __
will be taking marriage vows
within the next few weeks. But,
while a certain symbolic trans-
fer of 'worldly goods" is often
associated with the wedding
ceremony, under Texas law, the
act of marrying another does not
give you the authorization to
take control of his property
Generally speaking. each
spouse has the right to control
and dispose of his or her own
separate property. The separate
property of a husband or wife
includes property owned by
cither before marriage, and that
which is acquired by either after
marriage by gift or inheritance
Anj other property acquired
afrm marriage is presumed by
law to be community property
until the contrary is clearly prov-
ed.
Aside from the ordinary com
tnunity estate, there is a class
of property known as the wife’s
"special community." which in
el ides all the income from her
sc pat ate real property, and prob
ably the interest on bonds or
notes and dividends on stocks
own»*d in her separate right
While the husband may have
similar assets, the law accords
them no particular distinction
from ordinary community prop
erty.
Although the history of the
matter is somewhat confusing
it appears that under present
Jay law the husband has control
of ordinary communitv property;
but control of the wife s special
cumtounity property »s reserved
to her
Certain restrictions are
posed upon both husband
wife in exercising such control
For instance, the husband can
not legally dispose of commu-
nity property in such a way as
to defraud the wife, nor can he
sell the homestead without her
ncnature and acknowledgment
And the wife’s sale or mortgagi
of hei separate real estate stocks
or bonds is not valid unless her
husband joins with her in the
transaction — he must sign and
execute the necessary
papers along with her.
There are laws exempting the
wife's separate and special com
munity property from liability
for debts incurred by the hus
band Such liability is restricted
to his separate property and the
ordinary community property
On the other hand, debts in-
curred by the wife in obtaining
necessities for herself or the
children bind al) property be-
longing to either party, includ-
ing the husband's separate prop-
erty. For other debts which she
has power to incur, only her
separate and special community
property are liable
All of these distinctions em-
phasize the advisability of keep
ii-g proper records By doing so
the various classes of community
and separate property owned by
a married couple will always be
c'l.rily distinguishable Each cate
gory will then receive ihe spe-
cial protection afforded to it by
our laws
(This column, based on Texas
law, is written to inform — not

facts may change the application
of the law.)
