It was through the efforts of the

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
H. G. Wells, would-be reformer,
says that the American people are
becoming effiminate as a result of
our having so many women teaching
in our schools. The percentage of
men teachers is much higher in Eng-
land than in America, according to
Mr. Wells, and for that reason the
Bitish are possessed of more manly
qualities than are the Americans,
who obtain a larger part of their
elementary training from lady teach-
ers. He fails to consider the fact
that women have elevated man from
the bone-gnawing, caveman stage to
this present stage of civilization. On
asking one of America’s foremost en-
gineers what he considered the
| greatest impelling forces in progress
was, he replied, women. So we have
no worries regarding Mr. Wells’ doc-
trine of effiminacy so long as wom-
en’s influence acts as a dynamic
force to boost that which is good in |
on foreign courts.

THE FUTURE SUL ROSS

the next biennium is $205,710 by the
terms of the educational bill passed

as passed by the Senate provided
a dormitory, but this item was elim-
inated by the Free Conferenre Com-
miteee in deference to the House.
Following is an itemized budget for

SUMMER NORMAL PLANS
Sul Ross is to have a slightly dif-
ferent program this summer in the
normal work. There will be a series
of lectures, including talks by Mrs.
Marrs of the State Parent-Teacher
Association and Dr. Splawn of Texas
University.
Mr. J. H. Head, superintendent of
the Fort Stockton schools, will be in
charge of this work, assisted by such
excellent teachers as Mr. S. M. Mel-
ton of Alpine and Dr. George W.
Page of Brownwood. There will be
no change in the regular faculty, ex-
cept that Miss Irma Lee Beaty of
the Department of Music and Miss
Stather Elliott of the Department of
| Spanish will be back.
In the regular courses, two terms
of six weeks each will be offered as
heretofore, enabling students to do
a full year’s work in any subject in
twelve weeks. Improvements are of-
fered in many departments, with ad-
vanced courses in English, Education,
History, Mathematics, Spanish and
Biology.
The news of greater facilities in
travel comes as welcome tidings. The
roads over this section of the State
have been improved so that travel in
cars will be easy. The Orient Rail-
Buick, Dodge, Nash, Studebaker
- | road has greatly improved its serv-
ice, and our other railroad, the South-
ern Pacific, is now one of the best in
the country. Tourist rates of one
| and one-third fare are offered by
both companies, with special week-
end rates of one and one-tenth.—
