Ennis Daily News Publisher
Charles E. Gentry will represent
this paper tomorrow, for cover-
age by story and pictures—of the
visit by the delegation from En-
nis Independent School Dist. to
selected school facilities in Dallas
and Arlington. It is a study tour
to the schools ,for information
especially about buildings, as
school authorities have pointed
out for some time crowded con-
ditions in the local district which
are certain to bring increasing
need for expansion.
