of plaintiffs, dismissed sixteen
criminal and civil cases, and
twenty-four cases were contin-
ued by agreement or by opera-
tion of law.

At Independence Hall in Phil-
adelphia, 136 years ago, next
Monday, a Convention of dele-
gates from twelve of the origin-
al thirteen colonies, adopted the
present Constitution. George
Washington presided over this
memorable Convention, which
was iu session from the middle
of May to the middle of Septem-
ber, 17S7.

that long fray, which took the

CHRONICLE PRAISES ROAD
KERRVILLE TO JUNCTION
The following is an article
that recently appeared in the
editorial column of the Houston
Chronicle, and came to the Ea-
gle as the courtesy of Mr. Ma-
rion E. Brock of Houston. Mr.
Brock has been spending his va-
cations here for several years,
and writes that he will he here
soon to spend another vacation.
The Houston Chronicle has been
very generous in space allotted
to write-ups of this section of
t he country and Houston prob-
ably furnishes more vacation-
ists in this country than any
other Texas city—Editor’s Note
“A Triumph of Public Spirit.”
“The fifty-seven miles of pub-
lic road from Kerrville in Kerr
County ao Junction in Kimble
County is a Iriumpt of that kind
of public spirit and unselfish
public service which deserves
editorial recognition and com-
mendation.
“Public roads of gravel and
clay and rock and macadam are
being planned an built in many
sections of Texas, and it is a
work interest in which extends
far beyond local bonds, and the
men who built the Kerrville-
Junction road have set an exam- - . • , , ,

The greatest industry of this
country is about starting up,
to run for nine or ten months.
It is one in which there is no
strikes; it depends upon child
labor, but its finished product is
good citizenship. That indus-
try in the American school.
The American people, whose
motto sometimes seems to he,
“Let George do it,” have a way
of turning over the whole re-
sponsibility for this great ideal-
istic and practical enterprise to
teachers and school boards.
They kick vehemently if the
children are not well educated,
yet they never ask if the suc-
cess of this undertaking does
not depend in large part on
home co-operation.
Teachers and school boards
who have to contend with pa-
rental indifference, find that
their plant turns out only an
indifferent product.
The success of school opera-
tion can he greatly promoted,
and the children can he prepared
lor more useful and successful
futures if the homes will co-op-
erate with school management
in these two ways:
