George W. Llttlefield Terry
Sanger Presents History Fund
to University of Texas.
"Writing History the Wrong
Way' is a charpe that frequent-
ly has been made by the South-
erner reconstructed and other-
wise against the- bulk of Amer-
ican history authors since the
Civil war.

as one of TcrryV Rangers dur.

of the American National Hank
of Austin. Texas is one of those

PfUithcrners who believes that
j the South's side of the late un-
pleasantness has never been (air-
ily presented and he is hacking
litis judgment to the extent of
k?.0iaoO having ?ecently given
!his amount of n."'ney h'.L he
jnirpose of seciiring ni.tiis7 news-
papcr liles. private manuscripts
letters books ami other original
sources bearing upon the part
played by the South in the war
between the States. This fund
is invested so as to yield $15(X)
!per year and the interest is to
lie expended annually by a com-
'mittee composed of the State 'Li-
brarian the librarian of the Uni-
versity of Texas and Kugene C.
'Darker professor of history of
the I'niversity of Texas. The life
ni tile fund is fifty years and at
!lhe end of that term the cominit-
jlee feels confident that the Slate
of Texas will have deposited in
iis l'niverily library Mich a col-
lection of historical data as can-
not be matched by any library in
'the country. The endowment is
known as "The l.itilelield I'lind "
h is the hope ot the itonnr that
Willi this mass of original histor-
ical data available a great stimuli!-
will be given to the study

I In the thirtv-one years nf hi
evistence the I'niversity of Texas
i has granted approximately 3o00
degrees.
An interesting side-li'ht is
thrown upon the connection be-
tween tenantry and popular edu-j
eatiot by observing; the Pasa-
dena school ten miles southwest
of Houston. Here is a school
district with possibly the lowest
percentage of tenantry of any
school district in Texas (out of
the W farms 80 arc fanned by
owners) and it is more than a
coincidence that this district has
a model rural school. It is one
of those bright spots which the
I'niversity of Texas Extension
J)cjMrtinent found in making a
survey' of ""the. runr! sclvxds of
Harris county. ''iCiCau-
The school house is a modern
brick building of ttve class rooms.
There is a library of 400 vol-
umes an auditorium and piano
nnd excellent equipment. There
are four teachers two of whom
are college graduates and each
of the other two have done three
years of university work.
Mr. Glasgow the principal ha
taken the lead in industrial and
civic affairs. He promoted or
ganized and is president of th'.'
l'asadcn- Producers' Exchange
which i.. a co-operative plan of
nrlling the truck farm products
of the community. A sales aicnt
anil a bookkeeper are employed
the year.round. Sales last ycai
nimut'nted "to "O.iViO which will
probably be increased next year
to $150000. A cannery is now
hcinn proposed. Five hundred
thousand strawberry plants were
recently bought for the 80 stork
Chicc each month Mr. Glas
"ovF "meets with the farmers at
the school hotie where they
discuss informally questimis that
pertain to better farming and
country life improvenient. It is
said of Mr. filasgnw that he ha
not nii"ed a meeting in two
vears. lie has aUo directed the
Mtcial center activities of the com-
munity. Compare this school with that
of anv district in which there
'are HO tenants to three-land-Wiling
farmers and the connec-
tion between the tenant problem
iiud the problem of rural educ.i-
tion will emerge with appalling
distinctness.
