Girls’ Industrial College.
Purposes and plans of school
in Texas explained by Mrs. Hel-
en M. Stoddard:
* After ten years of agitation,
Texas has its girls' industrial
college, iocated at Denton. That
is, the first building is rapidly ad-
vancing in construction. The
corner stone will be laid soon.
It will be next September before
the opening of the college for
students.
Only a few things have as yet
been decided. The entrance ex-
aminations will take the girl as
she finishes the common high
school course. The minimum
age will be sixteen. The board
of regents obtained much infor-
mation before deciding these
points, from .other schools of a
like character, and no one of
them gave a lower age of admit-
tance than sixteen. The state
furnished ample opportunities
for the child below this age in its
free schools, and but few com-
mon schools but can prepare any
student for entrance to the in-
dustrial college. To enter should
be the ambition of every wide-
awake girl in the state.
Speaking for one of the com-
mission, who traveled nearly four
thousand miles inspecting the
sites offered by fourteen places
in every part of this great state,
I can say truly, that one regret
in the mind of that commission
was that there were not enough
colleges to locate to give one to
each of the fourteen places of-
fering, so desirable were all the
locations.
The college will be unique in
this provision, that in addition to
a thorough English education*,
the “arts and sciences will be
taught with their industrial ap-
plication.”
Much of the education of the
past has served to unfit for real
life. The former college gradu-
ate, whether man or woman, re-
turning from the university or
finishing school, has realized that
the inclination to a practical life
has been injured, if not killed.
The head has been cultivated at
the expense of the hand. Hap-
pily, these untrue ideals are
vanishing, and today the thought
of foremost educators is to a
three-fold education, embracing
the head, hand and heart.
One of the greatest attractions
of the new school will be the
special care and culture of the
physical health of the girls. The
special service of a woman phy-
sician will be secured, into whose
enlightened hands the girls will
be placed.
While a thorough education
will be vouchsafed the young-
women who attend this sehool,
yet it must not be forgotten that
the distinctive feature of this
college is the opportunity af-
forded Texas girls of acquiring
practical knowledge of some pro-
fession, craft or trade whereby
they may be able to earn a liveli-
hood. It will be the ambition
and aim of the school to send out
young women thoroughly versed
in business,Ifjwho can use the
English language correctly.
Proficiency in some particular
business is a moral safeguard to
its possessor and should be given
every child, whether rich or
poor.

“SKILLED LABOR FOR THE MASTER.”

For the fallen and the weak,

Hatred, scoffing and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink

Lampasas Union is in a better
condition than ever before. There
is much interest in the anti-po-
lygamy amendment bill, sex n to
come up in the United States con-
gress.
A bill prohibiting the shooting
of birds will be introduced in the
legislature which convenes in
Austin this month. The W. C.
T. U. is much interested in this
bill. If the birds are on the
women’s bonnets, not only the
boll weevil, but all kinds of in-
sects, will have plenty of room to
do their evil work.
The meeting of the mid-year
executive committee of the W. C.
T. U. of Texas met in Fort Worth
Monday, Jan. 12, 1903.
Mrs. Stoddard has been travel-
ing and holding meetings and
lecturing constantly all the fall
and winter, and much good has
been done. Mrs. Nannie Cur.tis
is working in the Panhandle, .and
several new Unions have been
organized.
Chicago Tribune says: It is
possible that tile refusal of mer-
chants, manufacturers and pro-
fessional men to employ boys ad-
dicted to the cigarette habit will
do more to check the evil than
all the laws ever passed or plan-
ned. When a boy knows that
his future chance to earn a live-
lihood depends on his quitting
the ill-smelling cigarette the
knowledge will doubtless have
more effect on him than a dozen
j parent’s or pedagogue’s lectures
| on the subject. The beauty of
| the thing is that no manner of
i deceit.will avail, for the cigarette
| smoker carries the literal sign
| manual of his. vice oh his fingers.
| A Chicago boy confessed last
j week that out of ten places to
| which he had applied for work
the head of not one had neglect-
ed to ask him if he smoked ci-
garettes. In a number of in-
stances he was made to show his
forefingers. Few people will be
sorry even if the action of the
employers result in cutting off
some of the profits of the Cigar-
ette Trust. The dividend paid in
brain, body and muscle will more
than compensate the community,
Since the ruling of Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue J. W.
Yerkes,. prohibiting the sale of
spikdd drinks in drug stores or
confectioneries unless a liquor
dealer’s license is paid, a number
of druggists and others interested
have called on the internal reve-
nue collector’s department re-
garding the matter, but thus far
none of them have decided to
take out the license. .
General Flannagan, the inter-
nal revenue collector, stated that
the druggists and others who
sold soft drinks had thirty days
in which to take out the license,
after which those who were
caught selling soda water mixed
with distilled spirits will be liable
for prosecution.
This, however, does not mean
that those engaged in the busi-
ness can sell such spiked drinks
in the mean time. It is believed
that druggists and others in pro-
hibition towns and districts will
be the only ones who will take
out the license.
The Houston Chronicle says:
The sugar trust, which has here-
tofore devoted its energies to
the dissemination of sweetness,
is said to have adopted a side
i line. It is going to sell beer and
| whisky to its workmen. The
i trust has a plant at Shady Side,
! in New Jersey, just across the
river from One Hundredth street,
I and it intends to open a saloon
| inside its tall fence for the bene-
fit of the 700 workmen employed
j in the works. Beer will be 3cts
! a scuttle and whisky seven.
; There are a half dozen saloon-
1
1 keepers in the neighcorhood who
subsist on the trade from the
works, and they ar^ talking in'a
J most indignant fashion. It is
claimed that the men had a habit
of gathering at the places outside
during the noon hour and re-
turning to work drunk. It is to
j avert this and not for profit that
I the trust secured a license. In
! the meantime the independent
j saloonkeepers propose to go . to
j court about it.

State Health Officer George
Tabor announces that he intends
to strictly enforce the law re-
quiring city and country phy-
sicians in every city and county
in the state to make a monthly
report to the state health de-
partment of the sanitary condi-
tion of such city or county. The
law provides that such a report
| shall be made and does not at-
| tach a penalty for failure to com-
I ply with its provisions, conse-
■ quently hardly any of these
! health officers have complied
| with it. With this end in view
j State health Officer Tabor de-
; siaes that the mayors and county
judges of all counties in the state
| send him as soon as possible the
names of such city and. county
physicians so that the matter
can"be taken up with them.

Rev. Carlisle P. li: Martiiij;
Waverly, Texas, writes: “Of a
morning, when first rising, I often find
a troublesome collection of phlegm,
which produces a cough, and is very
hard to dislodge; but a small quantity
of Ballard’s Horehound Syrup will at
once dislodge it, and the trouble is ov •
er. I know of no medicine that is equal
to It, ,and it is so pleasant to take. I
can most cordially recommend it to all
persons needing a medicine for throat
or lung troubles.” Price 25c. 50c, and
$1 a bottle at Key Bros.
There are very few men who
live up to their knowledge of du-
ty. They have a high Ideal of
belief, but a low .' standard of
practice. They " know a great
deal,more than they are willing
to reduce to practice. They
seem to have an idea that God
will overlook much that even
they cannot approve in their daily
doings. But as a matter of fact
we ought to endeavor to lift our
lives to the plane of our knowl-
edge and belief.—Advobate.
Finds. Way to Live Long.
The standing announcement of a dis '
covery that will surely lengthen life is
made by Editor O, H. Downey, of Ghu
rubusco, Ind “I wish to state,” he
writes, “that Dr. King’s New Discov-
ery for consumption is th$ most in-
fallible remedy I have ever known for
coughs, colds and grip. Itis invalua-
ble to people with weak lungs, Hav-
ing this wonderful medicine no one
need dread pneumonia or consumption.
Its relief is instant and cure certain.”

bottle, and give trial bottles free.
To The Point
Those who walk by faith never
stumble in the dark.
The man without ambition is
usually without anything else.
Satan prospers because he at-
tends strictly to his own business.
We enjoy our bounties more
when we ask others to share with
us.
The world owes every man a
living, but will not pay it unless
pushed to extremes.
Real municipal reform will be-
gin at the primaries; theoretical
municipal reform always begins
with thoughtful essays that few
people hear and fewer read.—Ex.
Lumber and .Building- Material.
We have a very complete line
of Lumber, Shingles, Sash, Doors,

lot of second quality dimension
lumber to clean out at greatly re-
duced prices. J. I. CAMPBELL.
