8. N. Craig, repreaenting the depart-
ment of the Interior, has been largely
Instrumental In formulating the plan
of operation followed by the soldier
farmers and farmers-to-be. A series
of addresses was given by him In the
camps of the Southern department in
the “Y” buildings, during which be
outlined the course to be pursued by
the government In assisting soldiers
to locate on unused government lands
In various states.
More than ,60,000 soldiers have
signed the applications for the gov-
ernment land which will be available
after congress has passed the bill con-
taining the recommendations of Sec-
retary of the Interior Lane, acfibrdlng
to Mr. Craig.
“It is gratifying that so many of
the soldiers have Indicated their de-
sire to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities to be provided under the pro-
visions of the new law," said Mr.
Crulg. “The ultimate success of the
plan depends upon the follow-up work
that will be done by the farmers’ fo-
rums in the various camps being or-
ganised with the aid of the Y. M. G. A.
leaders.”

fit and qualify them for usefulness and for efficient service in
all of the more important vocations open to women ia this
country, including especially that of home-making, will cJooo
its sixteenth seMsitm June 3, at which time certificates, diplo-
mas and degrees will be awarded to more than two hundred
of the most attractive, cultured and thoroughly trained young
women of the state from an equal number of the best homes
of Texas. The College opened its first session in September,
1903, and has grown just as rapidly as the Texas Legislature
has provided facilities to accommodate the constantly he
creasing number of girls who have actually applied for ad-
mission. The attendance last session reached 1910 (1260 girls
during the regular session and 650 during the summer ses-
sion) and when the record for the present acedemic year has
been completed, August 31, 1919, a marked increase in the
number of students over that of last season will be shown.
The College gives that type of education that produces the
most valuable results when applied to the every-day concerns
of real life, and at the same time gives mental discipline, so-
cial culture, and spiritual vision and outlook. Experience
has demonstrated that the College of Industrial Arts is cor-
rect in its belief that a right combination of literary and in-
dustrial education stands the tests and meets every demand
of the paesent progressive civilization. A summary of the
different kinds of work done by the College follows: 1, Liter-
ary; 2, Manual Arts; 3, Kindergarten; 4, Household Arts; 5,
Home-making; 6, Public School Music; 7, Reading or Ex-
pression; 8, Industry and Vocations; 9, Rural Arts and Sci-
ence; 16, Fine and Applied Art; 11, Music-Piano, Voice, Vi-
olin; 12, Commercial Arts- Typewriting, Shorthand, Book-
keeping; 13, Teacher-Training m Vocational Home Econom-
ics; and for the satisfactory completion of the prescribed work
of the several kinds the following college credentials are
awarded and conferred: 1, Vocational Certificates, 2, Home-
makers’ Certificates; 3, Public School Music Certificates; 4,
Teachers’ Certificates; 5, Commercial Arts Certificates; 6,
Degree of Bachelor of Arts; 7, Degree of Bachelor cf Music;
8, Degree of Bachelor of Science; 9, Degree of Bachelor
of Business Administration.
The College gives instruction and training in the literary
subjects of as high quality as may be obtained at any other
college or university of the first rank, and also gives instruc-
tion and training in the technical, vocational and industrial
subjects as effectively as those subjects are taught in any oth-
er college or university in the country. The Vocational Coun-
selor of the College is prepared, and ready at all times, to
give students helpful advice and assistance in selecting their
courses of stndy and in making preparation for Hk various
vocations open to women in Texas and the Southwest.
All parts of Texas are represented by the student body of
the College, and all of the honorable professions and voca-
tions of life are represented by the parents and guardians of
the students, the largest percentage of the students, however,
are the daughters of farmers and ranchmen. The atmosphere
of the College is distinctly moral, religious, and democratic.
Wholesome recreational activities are furnished by various
college organizations, such as the Athletic Association, the
Literary Clubs, the Glee Club and Orchestra, and the Y. W.
C. A., and various other student organizations that promote
a truly democratic spirit and are educational and uplifting
in their results.
The instructional buildings, the equipment of the labora-
tories, the convenience and comfort of the residential build-
ings, and the other facilities of the College conform to the
best standards, and make practicable the rendering of the
most efficient and the most satisfactory service. The best in-
dorsement and strongest commendation of the College are
the thousands of Texas girls who have received inspiration,
education and training at the College, and have gone out over
Texas to bless the State and make it a better, safer place in
which to live. According to announcement the next regular
session of the College will open Tuesday, September 16, at
which time it is probable that some 1500 Texas girls will
matriculate in the College they love because of the opportun-
ities it affords, and the service it renders. Parents and
friends who are interested in the College may obtain a cata-
logue hy addressing President F. M. Bralleyi College of In-

Snn Antonio, Tex.—Demobilization
of Army Young Men’s Christian asso-
ciation secretaries In the Southern Mil-
itary department has about reached a
standstill for the present, according to
J. H. Kckford, departmental supervisor
of personnel. About four hundred
wearers of the Red Triangle remnln In
the six states composing this depart-
ment, more than alx hundred having
been released since the signing of tho
armistice. It Is believed that, with
the numerous camps In the department
demobilised down to practlcnlly tha
smallest possible working force, cou-
pled with the demands of the regular
army men and the returning soldiers
from oversea*, there will be a need for
at least four hundred secretaries for
at least several weeks.
Seventy secretaries are serving the
towns and outposts along the Mexican
border, this phase of Y. M. C. A. ac-
tivity having been materially enlarged
since the armistice. Apparently 2,000
miles of border territory is now being
covered, the greater part of It by Itin-
erants in light delivery cars, in which
the secretaries carry a full supply of
hooks, stationery, portable motion pic-
ture machines, athletic equipment. In
a number of the Isolated villages where
troops are stationed the Y. M. C. A.
hut Is the only entertainment feature
and the soldiers share their privilege*
with the civilian populations. Every
border outpost is now being reached
by the “Y” men, and the work will con-
tinue us long as there are soldiers to
serve.

*' ON ASPIRIN
How to "get by” with the least
amount of work is a job chosen
by many people these days. To
the graduates of the Deport
school we wish to leave this word
of advice: Men and women who
would be looked up to and
respected must be willing to
work—not only for their daily
bread, but they must take part
in affairs that concern the com
munity. Noone has a right to be
idle. Idleness, self indulgence,
taking it easy, is resented by
sensible, right minded people.
Determine what shall be your
life’s work, and then do your
best to accomplish more along
that particular line thar^ those
who have gone before you.
