Honora
FOR AN INDUS-
■trial school
Messrs. Editors: In view of the
fact that we did not get tjic branch
of the A. & M. college for which our
people responded so generously when
called upon a few weeks ago, why
not let us go after something else?
That our citizens are thoroughly
awake to the importance of educa-
tion and an educational institution
that will develop trained men ready
for service, you have but to consult
the subscription list which I have in
my possession and you will see how
they appreciate the importance of
such a move. There has been enough
subscribed to build and equip an in-
stitution that would be a credit to
any town. Because the State failed
to take up our proposition, must the
good work stop?
That an industrial school is what
we need, needs no argument. We
have as good public schools as any
city in the State, and our business
college ranks among the foremost,
and these are Ailing the demands in
their line, but there exists a need
for special training which our ordi-
nary schools can not give. As an il-
lustration, I have been writing va-
rious agricultural colleges for the
past few weeks trying to And an ex-
perienced and qualified creamery op-
erator. Two or three colleges have
written me that the demand Is great-
er than the supply, atui say they can
not furnish us a man, on account of
the increased demand for trained
men. (While I think I have the
problem solved by accidentally find-
ing a man who was just in the act
of leaving one place for another, and
negotiations are now pending for his
employment, yet this illustrates the
point I make.)
Experienced creamery men, like
all other lines of trained experts,
command good salaries, and with an
institution in our midst turning out
trained men, think how many wor-
thy young men could be helped to
honorable and remunerative employ-
ment. There are young men and
boys in our midst who are growing
up in idleness, and too often drifting
toward a life of crime, that could be
given an education and training for
some useful vocation and made use-
ful citizens. There are many young
men and boys here who are anxious
for a “job,” and who would do well
if some avenue were open to them,
but the job is not forthcoming, be-
cause they have no special training
that would qualify them for a posi-
tion of trust. About all there is for
them to do is getting a clerkship in
some grocery store or similar busi-
ness—which is all right, except there
are not jobs enough to go half-way
around. Now we have it in our pow-
er to remedy this condition, and by
taking advantage of our opportuni-
ties and doing something, future gen-
erations will rise up and call us
blessed.
I have talked* with some of our
most progressive and philanthropic
citizens who are in accord with this
idea, and who will lend g helping
hand if such a movement is put on
foot. The plan suggested by one
with whom I have talked seems to
me to be a good one.
Suppose the subscribers to our A.
& M. proposition would agree to let
their subscriptions stand for this in-
stitution, and let a thorough can-
vass be made to augment that fund
(and I believe many of them would
even give more,) and when a suffi-
cient sum is raised, let a piece of
ground of say 100 or 200 acres be
bought close to this city, suitable
buildings erected and other things
procured to make it a success, and
the thing is done. Many would
come hero to give their children ed-
ucational advantages that such a
school would bring, and it could be
made largely self-sustaining when
once put on foot. Young men could
he taught the Industrial arts and
sciences and taught useful occupa-
tions that would qualify them for po-
sit Jens of trust, and our Institution
would soon command attention from
the whole country. We have phi-
lanthropic citizens who would
(and 1 believe would) give large
sums toward the endowment of such
an institution, and thus he a bless-
ing to many worthy, struggling young
men. As to details of the curricu-
lum, etc., these can be given atten-
tion later, should the idea meet
with favor. *
If such a move is made, and our
people should manifest that liberali-
ty of which they are capable, I be-
lieve it would be but a short time un-
til the State would lend a helping
hand, and might even make it a
State institution by taking charge and
becoming responsible for its support.

TEXAS TRACTION COMPANY.
May Not Run Express Cars or Mall
to Denison.
Denison. Texas. June 10.—Pros-
pects now are that the Texas Trac-
tion Company will not run Its ex-
press cars into Denison, and if a
mail service Is arranged on the In-
terurban it will not include Deni-
son. The City Commissions asks in
return for the use of one side of the
100 block on' South Rusk avenue,
necessary to reach the side entrance
of the proposed depot, that the
Traction Company places a street
light at every intersection crossed by
Its rails. This would mean about
thirty-five street lights. The com-
mission also demands that the com-
pany abandon the right, won in the
courts by Its predecessor, to con-
struct a switch In the 300 block on
Main street.
