INSPIRATION.
F >
The scene on the campus of ths
Grammar school last evening, and the
program given by the second ward
school at the taberiacle a week agoT*
are occasions to swell the heart with
pride. Hundreds of children. reflect-
ing the training that is to fit them.for
citixenship, and the zest and enthu-
siasm with which they enter into the
programs, with the very joyousnesd
' 4
of the whole thing, presage a future
dtigeaship that will reflect credit and
honor on the people who are today
making such school* possible. But as
inspiring as ure these beautiful exer-
cises, we^are still conscious, all of
os, that we are not doing enough for
our schools. We should so finance
V -T . ' ' '
our schools that they will be able to
develop all of the courses, until they
will in fact and in truth, turn out edu-
cated boys and girls, train them in
literary pursuits and at the same
time qualify them to go out and be-
gin life's work with an understanding
of the occupations that are calling
to them. The criticism has been

made, and with a degree of truth, that

our schbols are constantly turning
out only “high brow” material, the
interpretation being that our schools
have neglected, in the past especial-
ly, manual training and domestic
sdence. These broader scopes can
be taken in when the parents meet
the challenges from the children and
give the schools the needed funds to
operate on. And this should be done
at once.
The Herald feels unusual pride in
the large graduating class to be given
their diplomas at the graduating ex-
ercises this evening. And it is a mat-
ter of special congratulation that
such a large number of tx&s are in
the class. Hundreds of our boys are
^striving these days for higher educa-
tion and the opportunity to fit -them-
selves for better service in life. The
public schools serve a gyeat purpose
in our scheme of life, and give many
boys and girls the incentive for
greater accomplishments, and we find
their high school course followed by
efforts to complete an education, and
in this good day it. is not the unusual
thing to find a boy who is making
a great sacrifice to finish his educa-
tion, many working their way through
the colleges and universities. This
all tends to better citizenship, and
good citizenship, and intelligent citi-
zenship is the very foundation stone
of our great country. So, here is
hoping that more and more of our
boys, will take advantage of the school
privileges that are at their command
This is our town, brethren, to make
it or break it. We can make it by
being loyal to those institutions and
\
concerns that help to develop the
community. We can break it by ig-
noring these things and by giving our
support to other concerns that take
all and give nothing back.

About the cheapest thing that can
be contributed to the war-situation «s
talk, and about the most foolish-man
in the world is one who starts an
argument with Uncle Sam. The time
for talk, for argument, for cgiticism,
passed finally when the government
at Washington declared war against
the German government. _ The time
for action and service is here, and it
is possible and reasonable for every
citizen to do bis bit. There are many
ways in which the civilian can be of
service, and one of the chi’efest of
these is by being loyal in spirit and
in truth, and in steadily upholding
the hands of the government.. And
then there is the opportunity to buy
the Liberty Loan bonds. If the young
manhood of the country is willing to
sacrifice to the extent of taking up
arms it is as tittle as many of the rest
of us can do to really makp a sacri-
fice in buying these bonds. Then
there is the mutter or food production
' ‘ f; t ’ / ' '
and conservation. ' A great array of
i * A ,
men and women can help in this to witness the high school commence-
ment' exercises. The girls; are going
ki
broad field. And as the people of the
farms increase the production the
people of the towns can conserve.
And markets can be found. And then
Red Cross and

A. services. These need financing to
carry on their missions of mercy and
love. Arid every one of us in our
regular trades and professions can
serve, by doing our work the best we
know how and constantly with the
view of serving.
And then, and as great as any of the
foregoing, is the American spirit,
standing ever ready to give of time,
money and self. And no American
can afford to do less. This is a time
of testing, and every man should
want to measure up’to a high stand-
ard of the American man. , • <
ACTION IS NEEDED.
Without knowing just exactly what
is on the slate regarding the future
of our great Texas University'at Aus-
tin, or what the governor is striving
to have done through the board of
regents, as neither the governor nor
the regents had- up to this morning
taken the public into their confidence,
the Herald is persuaded that, one of
the chief needs in the premises is that
the institution be removed forever
from 'political control. The universi-
ty belongs to the people, the people
who pay the taxes, and no one should
be permitted for a single minute to
hold sway over its destiny. And the
regents may know now that the
"Eyes of Texas” aTe on them, and
will pass final judgment on their dis-
position of these “matters of gravest
importance” which call them to ac-
