Sections of East Texas are exper-
iencing the same conditions as this
section experienced in 1918 and 1919.
In the oil field districts schools are
being crowded and new equipment is
found necessary. Provisions believed
adequate a year ago to last for the
next ten years are already failing to
meet the need. At Tyler there has
been an increase of more than 75 per
cent in school enrollment since 1929.

Food and .clothing were mighty

the situation bravely, heroically, car-

two reasons—the truck law and a
