OCTOBER 29. 1925
PONY EXPRESS TO BE AT
THE PALACE NEXT WEEK
Genius, someone has said, is the
capacity for taking pains, and if the
definition be accepted, certainly * The
Poney Express" which will be shown
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at
the Palace Theater, is a product of
genius—the genius oi James Cruze.
As the title suggests, the plot cen-
ters about the pony express riders
who maintained communication be-
tween the East and West in the eariy
days of 1860. The country was at
that time undergoing a gigantic po-
litical upheaval due to the slavery is-
sue and strenuous efforts were being
made to swing California to the
Southern cause.. It was largely
through the instrumentality of the
Pony Express that the Golden State
was saved to the Union cause.
With swift, bold strokes of genius,
Cruse has bulit up against a remark-
able natural panorama of the uncivil-
ised frontier as a setting the whole
amasing pattern of those memorable
episodes which eventually culminated
in Civil War. Combined with the ad-
ventures of the pony express riders,
the portrayal of the crude life of the
pioneers, the frontier banditry and
savage Indian attacks, there is a
heart-tugging love story and rare
comedy.
The acting honors are
vided among Betty Compson, as the
popular frontier belle. Ricardo Cor-
tex, in the character of an intrepid
pony express rider, Ernest Torrence,
who combines religious seal with
blacksmithing, and Wallace Beery,
giving an inimitable comedy perfor-
mace as a lovable roustabout.
“The Pony Express” was adapted
by Walter Woods from the story
which he write in collaboration with
ATHENS TO SUE FOR
APPROVAL OF BONDS
Austin, Texas, Oct. 26—Permission
to file a motion for a writ of man-
damus against Attorney General
Moody was granted recently to the
city of Athens by the Supreme Court.
Hearing on validity of the result of
the Austin city manager election was
set for hearing November 4.
The city of Athens through John
A. Spencer, mayor, seeks to force the
attorney general to approve bonds
for $265,000, issued to pay outstand-
ing warrants. The bonds were voted
May 19, 1925, and sold to the Nation-
al Bank of Commerce of New York
but the attorney general refused to
approve the issue. He held that the
authorized tax limit rate of $1.50
would not be sufficient to take care
of the $265,000 in bonds and also pay
interest and principal on other debts,
notably a school debt of $147,000. :

SAYS FARM CHILD
WELFARE DEMANDS
BETTER PAID TEACHERS
1'
Because in the rural districts sal-
aries of school teachers have not been
increased in proportion to those of the
city schools, the rural schools are un-
able to command well trained exper-
ienced teachers for farm boys and 1
girls, according to J. L Tennant, re-
search specialist in rural education in |
the University of Texas Division of
Extension. Tennant said:
“In Texas the median salaries paid
both in cities and in rural schools are
considerably below the medians for
the United States as a whole. In
1925, in cities of 30,000 to 100,000 the |
median salary paid elementary teach- |
ers was $1227, which is $301 less than
the median for the United States; in
cities of 10,000 to 30,000 it was $947,
which is $407 less; in cities of 5,000
to 10,000 it was $921, which is $310
less; and in cities of 2,500 to 5,000
it was $886, which is $243 less. In
1924, on one-teacher rural schools
the median salary paid was $599 less
than the median for the United
States; in two-teacher schools it was
$654, which is $89 less; in three or
more teacher schools in the open coun-
try it was $853, which is $133 less;
and in three or more teacher schools
in villages it was 1852, which is $262
less.
“To secure teachers in our rural
schools with education, training and
experience similar to those held by
city teachers, it will be necessary to
offer salaries approximately equal to
those paid in cities. In deciding the
salary to be paid it is not the teach-
ers’ welfare but the child’s that is the
, primary consideration. Salaries are
-but a means to end. Teachers
When we fit your glasses you are can shift other positions or other
lines of work, but the child must at-
tend school usually in the district
where his home is located. The se-
curing of well trained teachers for
our rural schools is a matter that con-
cerns cities and the State at large,
as well as the rural communities. The
education we give today’s children
will determine very largely the kind
of state Texas will be twenty-five
