PROGRESS OF SCHOOLS
TOLD AT INAUGURATION
4 meeting of 1,100 Texans in
Austin week before lsat reviewed
the first year's operation of the
public school system under the
Gilmer - Aiken laws passed by th¿
(i 1st Legislature.
Highlights of the meeting was
the official inauguration of Dr. J.
W. Edgar as Commissioner of Edu-
cation. Although he has held the
pf ition since March 8, this cere-
mony publicly ratified his appoint-
ment.
Chairman R. B. Anderson of he
stnte Board of Education said that
Dr. Edtrar is "charged with the
lergest single educational respon-
ciMity in America."
In his inaugural address L>r
Edgnr said that the purpose of
the Texas Educational Agency
should be to carry out these ob-
jectives:
1. "We must be determined thai
education be available to all.
2. "We must provide in our
schools realistic education for
American citizenship.
3. "We must keep our schools
on a sound financial basis, so that
money is available as and when
it is needed.
4. "We must increase the ex-
pertness with which teaching is
d^ne by raising the standards of
our profession;"
DANIEL SAYS TIDELAND
FIGHT NOT YET LOST
Texas' fight to retain ownei-
ship of its potentially oil - ri h
tidelands is far from lost, in spite
ol the adverse ruling by the U S
Supreme Court last June, Attor-
ney General Price Daniel believes.
"Our contention is that the su-
preme court has not heard the e -i-
i'ence in the case, and that when
it does, it should support the Texas
claim," Daniel declared. (The su-
preme court split 4 to 3 in its de-
cision against Texas, and a motion
for rehearing is now pending.
Daniel also pointed out there
i* a strong possibility that Con-
gress will pass a bill to vest titíe
to the tidelands in the states. He
expressed the belief that Presi-
dent Truman will reverse his de-
clared intention of vetoing such
a bill, when he learns all of the
facts of the ease.
TWO THANE MlVOfOt
THIS TEAS IN TEXAS
Texas will have two official
Thanksgiving Days this year, ac-
cording to a proclamation issued
by Governor Shivers. Originally
¡lie last Thurs. in November was
univeisally observed as Thanks-
g'ving Day throughout tne nation.
During the latter days of the de
prtbsion President Roosevelt w«
;;ersuaded to make the 4th Thurs.
in November the traditional holi-
day, since it was believed the earl-
ier date would stimulate more
C'liistmas shopping. In Texas,
however the old practice of ob-
serving the last day, regardless jf
whether it is the 4th or the *th
Thursday has continued. This year
Governor Shivers proclaimed thftt
both days shall be devoted to
thanksgiving. "The people of Te>'-
a* have a great deal to be thank-
ful for, and should not necessarily
be limited to one day a year on
which to count their blessings,"
•he governor declared.

VISIT TO FAMOUS
BATTLEFIELD MAKES
HISTORY MORE REAL
SAN JACINTO BATTLEFIELD
Every Texan owes it to himself
to visit this historic spot. Yet,
mtange as it may svem, more
visitors from out of the state are
registered here than citizens of
this state.
The towering limestone moi.u-
mont is magnificent, rising 570
feet high, with a wonderful his-
toric museum housed in the base.
Many profitable hours may he
srvnt browsing through the in-
teresting exhibits displayed here.
History becomes real as you see
the personal belongings of mniy
Texas heroes. A ride in the ok
vítor up to the observation rotirr
. ♦ the top of the monument ports
onlv 26c. From this vantage point
there is a breath - taking view.
Meandering around the battlefi"ld
park is the Houston ship channel,
.vhere sea - going vessels move
rracefully to and fro.
Moored there too is the U. S.
Battleship Texas, now retired ai-
'er having been a flagship of th •
Navy through two World Wars.
Around the horizon rise the tower-j
f the many chemical and oil pro
cessing plants which are convert-
ing Texas oil and gas into useful
products.
For 30c you can board the
Texas" and tread the decks where
men fought and died to preserve
♦ he freedom we enjoy. In its pre-
ser.t peaceful setting it is difficult
t" realize that this proud siiij,
once carried a complement of 1,-
800 fighting men, who frequently
engaged the enemy in a life or
d ath struggle.
It is fitting that this great figbt-
inp ship, which helped make m^d-
er:i history, should be preserve)
here at San Jacinto, where Texai
win its freedom.

Lawrence Sullivan Ross, one of the mort colorful figures in early T*xas,
did much to establish the A. and M. College of Texas as a ranking
educational institution, and put it on the way to the position it holds
today. "Little Sul," as he was affectionately known to Texans of the
'90s. had made his reputation as an Indian flghter, Texus Hanger,
sheriff, soldier and statesman, before he came to the presidency of
A. end M. Among his more noted exploits had been the recapture of
Cynthia Ann Parlcer, his rise in the Confederate Army from private
to General in four years and his effective term as Governor of the
state. In the eight years from his inauguration in 1800 to his death,
he enhanced the popularity Biid the stature of the college tremendously.
The Sul Ross statue in. the <•< titer of the campus is today a college
shrine, while the Ross Volunteerg, oldest student honor organization
in the state, serve as a constant reminder of his place in the story

TEXAS FARMERS PAY
LOANS AHEAD OF TIME
DALLAS— Texas farmers have
set an enviable record for paying
ofl their farm loans ahead
schedule. Some 6,000 loans were
n,.id<' to tenant farmers to help
them buy their own farms. Of
these 2,000 have paid off theii
indebtedness way ahead of ache-*
ule, many of them as much aB -If)
su.rs ahead of time.

Sneeze And Cough Way
Through Winter Month
AUSTIN Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, estimates
that there are 5t 0 million colds
a year in '.he l\ S. A. and they
take an economic toll of two mil-
'ion dollars. This does not tañ<-
into consideration the inconven-
ience suffered, or the fact that i d-
lowing or during a told, other *er-
toils illness such as pneumonia, tu-
bcivulosis or mastoiditis gain a
foothold. And the common cold is
only one of the many winter en
ctnies that encounters everyone
from the cril> to the coffin; son.e
of the others arc influenza, bron
chilis, ear infections, sinusitis, a'd
pncMinonui These are all respira-
tory diseases and they are caused
by many different germs. Som<-
of these germs aiv called imcten: ,
and some are called viruses.
Just because you have had a ™ tí
la no reason you won't catch a

hr.ve colds a year, and two out of
'ight people haw four colds a

trt ims, and the other is body re-
sistance which includes untVr-
nouriihment, fatigue, irritation of
the nose and throat by air borne
substances, or chilling of the l*,v-
The best way to avoid catching
cold is to:
1. Avoid people with colds as
«nerh as possible.
2. Beware of fatiirue, avoid ovii-

moderately out of-doors.
M. Keep feet warm and dry.
