glad to hear all sides in regard
any bill when we are asked advic
by the governor or any other indi
vidual or group of individuals.
Makes 150 Speeches
Although he has had no oppon-
ent in this year’s elections, Mr
Mann has taken the time and effo:
to visit all parts of our state,
review the facts of his first
in office. The Enterprise belie
that such men as our Attox
General, who can get close to c
zens in all walks of life, are thr
kind of men we need in our public
offices.
Speaking on an average of---_
times a day, Mr. Mann still is able
to make a forceful and informative,
speech, that really tfells the average5
voter something about his office.
His itinerary calls for 150 speak-
mg engagements and will close
September 1. His Tuesday’s sche-
dule included appearances at Has
kell, Olney, Archer City, Wichita
Falls, Henrietta, Bowie and Dallas.
Mr. Mann closed with the ve
effective declaration, “I have no-
political ambition except one, an
that is to do the job well that you.
have given me to do.”

Ability Defined
From a recent issue we clipped
the tale:
Son: “What is executive ability?”
Father: “Executive ability, my
toy, is the art of getting the credit
for all the hard work somebody
else does.”—and we wonder if this
isn’t right.—D. M.

at 1:30 p. m.; Saturday, Sept.
Freshme nat 9:30 a. m.
All members of the faculty will
attend a called meeting Saturday
morning from 8:30 a. m. until 9:30
I a. m., and A. D. Cummings, super-
intendent, states that attendance at
this meeting is required.
Students who are anticipating
work on the NYA projects in con-
nection with the high school should
talk with Mr. Harbour at the high
school some time before the open-
ing of school. It is very necessary
that they secure, fill out and return
the application blanks for this work
before they will be considered.
The NYA project in the local high
school gives work to eleven students
who receive $6 a month for thirty
hours work. Girls assist in the lib-
rary and help teachers, while the
boys’ work is mostly manual labor
on or about the building and cam-
pus.
The enrollment this year is ex-
pected to be a little above that of
last year, especially because of the
large seventh grade class graduated
from Bimey school last year.
Students will come to Olney to
enter high school from Ingleside,
True, Bitter Creek, Spring Creek,
Jan, Lone Oak, Terrapin, Cotton-
wood, Newport and Shearer.

{industrious worker.

I that time.
The faculty for the fall session of
school now includes thirty-eight, in-
cluding the superintendent and spe-
cial music instructors, Mrs. Carl
Ramsey and Paul Martin.
Board members present at the
Tuesday night meeting were C. V.

liamson, A. D. Myers, Si C. Jeffery,
