Superintendent of the East Tex-

the regular monthly meeting of
the Nurse Technicians of Rusk
State Hospital.
iDr. Topperman has been as-

for 12 years.
At the meeting, which was
held at 7 PM Monday in the
Hospital Chapel, Dr. Topperman
recalled the nursing situation
when he started out in medicine
as an intern. He commented
on the changes he had noticed
in later years.

duties of hospital aides.
"After World War II," Dr. Top-
perman said, "there was a sharp
decline in candidates entering
the nursing field." When he was
employed in the East Texas Tu-

nounced in Temple today.
A total of 11,977 families used
one or more of the agency's loan
programs during the year.
Farmers Home Administration
operates a broad pflogram ef
development in Texas.
The agency makes loans for
family farming operations, farm
development, rural housing, com-
munity water system, soil and
water conservation and develop-
ment, recreation enterprises, and
and other purposes.
Loans are made only to bor-
rowers who cannot obtain credit
from banks, Production Credit
Associations, and other conven-
tional lenders.
Mr. Cappleman reported that
in 1963 Farmers Home Adminis-
tration supervised loan programs
had two znajor results of impor-
tance to the economy ol the
state.
"Loans to family farmers en-
abled them to make a major
contribution to the well being and
the broader rural community re-
sulted in new homes and, better
rural neighborhoods in many
parts of the state. These serv-
ices of Farmers Home Admin-
istration were expanded in 1963.
We believe they will continue
to grow in line with increased
emphasis of national and state
leaders on rural and area devel-
opment programs," Mr. Capple-
man said.
Mr. Cappleman gave the fol-1
lowing breakdown of FHA's i
loan programs in Texas for 1963. \
A total of $35,000,000 went to
6,755 Texas farmers to pay for
equipment, feed, seed, livestock,
for othe fam and home opea-
ting needs, and to refinance chat-
tel debts, carry out forestry
purposes, and develop income-
producing recreational enterpris-
es.
Farm ownership loans totaling
about $10,000,000 were used by
436 farmers to enlarge, develop,
and buy farms not larger than
family size, and to refinance
debts, carry out forestry purpos-
es and develop income-produc-
ing recreation enterprises.
Emergency loans amounting to
an estimated $18,000,000 were
made to 3,785 farmers to as-

In an effort to inform students,
parents, teachers and school of-
ficials in preparing applicants for
successful study of engineering in
college, the Deans of Engineer-
ing in the State of Texas have
recently issued the following rec-
ommendations:
"A consideration of the com-
plexity of the problems which
must be solved by engineers to-
day and in the future, and the
impact of engineering upon so-
ciety and politics, has brought a-
bout major changes of emphasis
in engineering education.
"A truly liberal education is an
essentia] foundation for success in
the engineering profession. This
includes the study, in consider-
able scope and depth, of mathe-
matics, physical and biological
science, communications subjects
humanities, and social sciences.
"A primary l-equirement for the
successful practice of engineer-
ing is the ability to communi-
cate facts and ideas. The Engi-
neer must be able to listen, read,
and speak and write with preci-
sion, facility, clarity and under-
standing.
"Americans, even those well
educated in other respects, lack
facility more often than not, in
languages. Since Engineering Is
a truly international profession,
a student preparing for it will
find it desirable to study a for-
eign language, beginning as early
as possiblo-preferiably in ele-
mentary or junior high school.
The completion of at least one
foreign language before he grad-
uates from secondary school is
definitely worthwhile.
"Engineering achievements rest
upon a foundation of mathmat-
ics and the sciences. The best
possible background of mathe-
matics in elementary, junior high,
high, or preparatory school is re-
quired. Almost nowhere in Tex-
as at the present time, is mathe-
matics below the level of analyti-
cal geometry and calculus credited
toward a degree in engineering.
For this reason it is advisable to
include in high school four years
of high level mathematics, deep
and rigorous in treatment Four;
years of science are highly desir-
able At least two years of chem-
istry. physics, or biology are ne-
cessary
"Young men and women who
are candidates for engineering are
adviaed to plan their secondary
vhooi programs in such a way
as to include tcndemic-year
courses oí high intellectual qual-
ity during the four years before
graduation, in accordance with
the following list:
Area of Study and Recommend-
ed Units are as follows:
English. 4; Mathematics, 4: Chem-
istry and Physics, 2; Biology, 1;
Foreign (Including Classical
Languages). 2 or 3: History,
Government, Social Studies, 2
or 3.
"English, literature and mathe-
matics courses require good ear-
lier foundation; chemistry, phy-
sics and biology courses should
be taught with emphasis upon
principles and methods of science.
Foreign Language (including
Foreign language courses might
be advantageously preceded by
work in lower grades. History,
government and social science
course should be intensive and of
high academic quality. If it ap-
propriate to extend an individ-
ual to his full capacity, it is
recommended that such addition-
al work be taken in the latter
two areas, or be comprised of
advanced placement courses in
the first three areas.
