ed State's. In tliis group it is two days
less. Of the 7,329 common schools
for whites n the state, 2,595, or one-
third have a school year of six montns
or less. There are twelve counties
in the state in which the average
length of the school year for whites
in. common school districts is below
the minimum set by the Constitution
—six months. In only four counties
was the average length of school year
in common schools' more than eight
months.
Children in some counties have
available what is commonly regarded
as an adequate length of-^school year,
but there are other counties in.which
the year is all to short. The county
in which the country child lives is
largely a matter of chance.

STOCK LAW ELECTION.
Whereas, on the 12th day of Octo-
ber A. D. 1925, the Commissioners
Court of Shelby county, Texas, said
court being in regular session, came
on to be seen, heard and considered
the petition of A. Q. Askew and 23
other free holders and qualified tax-
paying citizens and voters, residing thence
in McClellan Common School District ■
No. 21, in Shelby county, Texas, J
praying this court to order an elec-
tion to be held in said McClellan
Common School District No. 21,
Shelby County, Texas, for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not
hogs, sheep and goats, shall be per-
mitted to run at large within the lim-
its of said McClellan Common School
District No. 21, Shelby county, Tex-
as, said district being described by
metes and bounds, as follows, to-wit:
Beginning at the se corner of Jor-
dan District No. 19, in what is known
as the narrow guage road leading to

element of chance does not end with
the difference in length of school year
among the counties. In many coun-
ties the differences to be found
among individual schools are much
greater than among county averages.
Can Educatoinal Opportunities Be
Equalized?
Some idea of the extent to which
the short school year handicaps chil-
dren may be secured from this com-
parison. A boy living in a district in
which there is a six months’ school
year would have to attend school
eleven years in order to secure as
much influence from the school as is
obtained during the elementary school
period of seven years in a district
navihg a nine months’ year.
The Survey Commission suggests
| that the standard should be raised
gradually but steadily,
mends that the state minimum be
placed first at seven months, then
eight, and finally nine months, and

These finer closed cars are built on the famous Buick chassis with
the 21-year-proved, 60 and 75 horsepower Buick Valve-in-Head.
engines. Extra power!
And they have the famous “Sealed Chassis” and the new “Triple
Sealed Engine.” No other car, regardless of price, furnishes this
completeness of protection for driving parts.
And these Buicks have the characteristic Buick charm of body
profile. They are finished in Duco. They seat five full-grown
people in roomy comfort. They have the Fisher VV one-piece,
ventilating windshield, automatic windshield wiper, and a host
of like necessities. Buick’s exacting closed car standards prevail
in their Fisher-built bodies.
Come in and see how much superior these Better Buick Sedans
are to “Coaches”, before you spend your money!

EDUCA.TIONAL PROBLEMS IN
TEXAS RURAL SCHOOLS.
(From The Troup Banner.)
This paper devoted a large proper-
tie nof its space last week to reports
of school openings in Smith and ad-
joining counties, and to other matters
related more or less directly to edu-
cational progress. Being committed
to the fostering of education as one
of its major ' objectives, a generous
part of our space during the school
year will be given to these matters.
Those of us in communities that are
provided with public schools of eight
to nine months duration often lose
sight of the fact that in a larger part
of Texas—that is to say, for a larger
portion of the children of the State
__.really good and efficient public
schools are not available. Many of us
de not know that the average school
term for one third of the school dis-
tricts of Texas is less than six months
Many of us do not realize that under
• present conditions of unequal educa-
tional opportunity in Texas it re-
i quires children in some distrets elev-
l en or twelve years to obtain that
amount of education and instruction
! which is available to children in other
, districts within a period of six or sev-
; on years.
Facts and Factors in the Problem of
Education in Texas.
Prof. J. L. Tennant, Research Spe-
cialist in Rural Education, of the
State University, has supplied us with
the following facts and comparisons:
“One of the largest opportunities
the people of Texas have for the im-
provement of their school situation is
the elimination of the. inexcusably
brief school year found in so many
districts of the state, especially in the
country schools,” says the reports of
the Texas Educational Survey Com-
mission. “The country child is plac-
ed at a distinct disadvantage as long
as the short school year remains as
prevalent as is now the case in the
common school districts of the state
The average length of the school
year for the United States is 162
days, while for the State of Texas it
is only 136 days. A comparison of
the common s—-------
independent districts in Texas shows
that it is the common school districts i ____________
