Don't forget to vole for the
Stock l.aw in Ituxtrop Count) at
the special election on Saturday,
January 17. The life you Have
may be jour o« n—or someone'*
very dear to you!
_____
Two very important flection*
are facing the people of Bastrop
thi* month. Each election is vi
tal to the welfare of every citizen
in the town.
The stock law, of course, i.s gen
erally conceded by all honcat,
straight thinking people, to be at)
absolute necessity. Any opposi
tion is probably only among those
people who are using the public
highways as grazing land for their
-tock. and thereby not only en
dangoring the life of every per
•on traveling along these high
ways, but in some instances, ac-
tually causing the death of indi
viduals, not to mention the per-
sonal injuries and the loss of pro
perty even more frequently in
volved.
There is, presumably, more op
position to the election called by
the City of Bastrop for January
20, for the purpose of issuing
$ 1 JJ!>,000 in bond- to enlarge1 the
public school system. This op
position, we are sure, stems from
the fact that citizens are afraid
of a raUe in taxes.
Because of the fac t that, through
careful handling, th- city bond
debt lias boen roducad to only
J.W.fNto in bonds outstanding, with
approximately 117.000 in the -ink
ing fund on February I, 19.W, it
will be possible to vote this 1125,
000 bond issue and at the same
time reduce the school bond tax
from 7h cent* on the $10(1 vain a
tion to 50 cents. The total tax
rate for the city ami school pur
poses will remain unchanged be
cause the < xtra 2a cents released
from the school bonds will Ik* u*
ed by the city for meeting the in
creased needs in the street fund
and in the general fund.
"Thus the voters of Bastrop w ill
have an opportunity to meet the
expanding needs of both the
schools and the city WIT1KH T

In view of this, it would In- fool

that is so necessary to the pro
gress and development of the
town.

San Antonio Express NAMED PRESIDENT
PROPOSED PRIMARY SCHOOL
BUILDING FOR BASTROP, to
house the first, second and third
grades. The building, a part of
the over all plan to enlarge the
public school system, both white
and colored, will be located 011 the
ite formerly occupied by the old
McCord home. The open end as
shown here will join the present
football field, which will become
the playground for the school.
The new football stadium will be
built ori the eleven-acre site where
the present primary school is lo
cated.
Other improvements scheduled
include the purchasing of an ad
ditional block of land to enlarge
the present colored school campus;
moving the present primary school
building to the colored school cam
pus to furnish four additional
classrooms there; fully equip a
science laboratory for colored high
school and Sully equip a labora-
tory for colored high school.
All of these improvements are
pending the passing of the $I2."i,
000 bond issue to be voted on
Tuesday, January 20. at the City
Mall.
The necessity of such improve
inents can be readily seen in the
sharply increased birthrate of the
past few years, already becoming
evident in the lower grades. Moth
white and colored schools are be
ing pinched for class room space
with the prospect for continued in-
crease In enrollments until 1957,
' at which time the peak enroll
menU- are anticipated.

DR. SADLER, TCU
PRESIDENT SPEAKS
AT CONVENTION
LOS ANGELES—That the
movement away from religion is
the most crucial issue in higher
education was the declaration of
Dr. M. E. Sadler, president of Tex-
as Christian University, today in
hi- (residential address before the
Association of American Colleges
in its 39th convention. Sadler
heads the organization of about
800 schools.
Columbia Broadcasting System
broadcast a condensed version
of Dr. Sadler's address on Wed-
nesday, night, January 7.
"If the fires of religion burn
out, the heart of democracy will
cease to beat, and the fires of re-
ligion will burn out unless we keep
them alive in and through our ed-
ucation." Dr. Sadler warned, and
concluded, "The very heart of ed-
ucation must be the education of
the heart,"
The TCU president mentioned
governmental domination as an-
other crucial issue in higher edu-
! cation. He showed how church-
! related schools were once in the
majority, but are now hardpressed,
along with other privately-sup-
ported colleges and universities,
because of federal and state aid
and control.
"Only the most favored non-
governmental colleges and univer-
sities have much chance of sur-
vival," President Sadler declared,
and urged that a constructive ba-
lance between voiitarily-supported
and tax supported institutions be
maintained. "This balance -hould
be maintained, not only for the
sake of the nation, but also in the
interest of the most creative and
constructive system of education."
The TCU president explained
the trend away from religion by
saying that in the past 75 years
lie consciousness of God as a
controlling facto) in life has been
nearly lost from our lives. This
situation wa- cau.-cd by the spread
of applied science and the result
of the industrial revolution. There
1 no conflict between pure reli-
gion and sound scientific know-
ledge. The technological and ma-
terial developments and the past
half century have been unthlnk
ably vast.
"The rush, the glamor and the
significance of these material a
chievements have swept men off
balance," Dr. Sadler remarked.
"The thing-, of the earth have In-
come so compelling in their at-
tractiveness. and we have fixed
our eyes on them so intently, we
have forgotten how to look up."
The president of the \-soeiation
of \ met lean Colleges brought out
that all schools could and should
re emphasize pure religion, and
that it could be done also in tax
supported schools. He added that
the private, church-related col
lei:e- and universities should lead
the way.
