sion tho meeting was begun promptly

ed that tho invitations had been se-
lected and contracted for. Tho motion

port be accepted.
Plans in general were discussed re-
garding tho Senior Day celebration

J. F. Fielder constituted tho committeo
which has been appointed to arrange
tho program for this occasion.

the class into a closer ana more per
fect organization thereby promoting

BASKET BALL PROSPECTS.
As practice progresses tho prospects
for another basket ball State cham-
pionship looms up brighter for Sim-
mons. Every ono of tho thlrty-flvo or forty
candidates aro down to hard earnest
work in hopes of representing tho Pur-
plo and gold.
Coach Easterday has been working
tho men throe times a week but now
that football season Is over ho intends
to havo practice every day. Out-door
as well as in-door practice will be hold
bo the team will bo at no disadvantage
on trips should they be compelled to
play In the open.
With tho material now coming out
the Cowboys should havo no trouble
in maintaining tho record they havo
made for the last few years. In 1917
Simmons won State Chamionshlp
losing only one game and that by only
one point. Tho next year the' team did
not lose a game but owing to ft short
schedule it had not chanco to compote
for the State honors. This leaves only
one gamo lost in two years. Tho Cow-
boys mado this record by defeating the
best teams in the State namely A. and
M. Baylor T. C. U. Baylor Medical
Howard-Payno and others.
From what Coach Easterday and
some o ftho old men say Simmons will
easily maintain her brilliant basket
ball rccrd this season.

"Tho program was so full of good
things that oven teachers tired of it"
was Dr. Cooper'B way of stating it.

economic one according to Prof. Moon.
The Association discussed the; present
conditions in the teaching profession
and recommended that the State fur-
nish $10000000 to bo used for teach-
ers' salaries up to the present stand-
ards of living. This action was taken
in view of the fact that many of tho
best teachers of tho rural and city

in the business world.

ciation has grown Into an organization
of 6700 teachers tho largest body of
organized State teachers In tho United
States. Its members range from tho
teacher of tho one-room country school
to tho professors In our great unlver-
tles. Besides affording an opportunity
for discussing their own problems this
organization has 'been instrumental in
inaugurating moBt of the great educa-
tional legislation in Texas.
TDr. Cooper told of a meeting In
Houston pf ten men all of whom havo
been In educational work in Texas for
more than a quarter of a century.
These men have been In tho vanguard

tainly a great contrast especially when
