ANGELO SCHOOL MAN
TALKS OF STATE NORMAL
Enumerates Advantages and Reasons
Why He Thinks San Angelo
Should Have It.
Superintendent Felix E. Smith of
the public school system in discuss-

said:
"If the West Texas Normal Is to
come here San Angelo must get busy.
The cltv nifiv never hnve nnnMier nn-
portunitV to "secure a state school. It
will be years before another normal
is established by . the state and the
location of this one west of the 9Sth
meridian makes it impossible that
such a school will soon again be lo-
cated within our reach.
"From a business standpoint the lo-
cation of the normal here Is a. first-
class proposition. The appropriations
of thousands of dollars by the state
for the maintenance of the school to-
gether with the yearly expenditures of
several hundred students and the
members of the faculty and their fami-
lies will be an increasing and d?pend-
able source of revenue to the busi-

town will necessarily if the school is
located here become the leader

will react upon our own public school
system. Our teachers will be stimu-

THE LIMELIGHT
supporting the measure prefer the
amendment rather than risk the sen-
ate killing the entire bill. Ray brought
Culberson into the limelight today
when he moved that the senator's
speech against government ownership
of railroads be printed in the Journal.
There was a few minutes attention
then the senate defeated the motion
schools especially in Tom Green and
adjoining counties. This will mean
more settlers and more permanent
homes within the trade territory of
San Angelo. With the betterment of
the educational advantages of our
people will come to our community an
unbounded material- advancement
"San Angelo can offer every Induce-
ment to the selecting committee that
is offered by any other city and more.
Ours is tlfe ideal school location. We
have railroads water and invigorat-
ing and healthful climate. The school
can be brought here. It is worth while
to go after it and when it comes the
business interests the educational and
the. socal interests of tne community
will have received an invaluable asset.
"It can easily be seen that here we
have a proposition where the com-
munity will get its dojlars' worth. No
matter by whom the question Is in-
vestigated or from what view point it
is looked into to all the proposition is
a. good one.
"There is unity of interests and
with unity of purpose and effort the
school can be brought to San Angelo."
