Mrs. Wm. M. Karr, veteran
teacher of the English lan-
guage in Canadian schools,
will be cited as an example
of "what an Engish teacher
ought to be" before a meeting
of the Texas Joint English
Committee which will be held
at Sam Houston State College

That, at least, is the ann-
ounced intention of Professor
John Q. Hays, chairman of
the freshman English classes
at Texas A & M College who
will be a featured speaker at
the English workshop meeting

Professor Hays' interest in
the Canadian high school tea-

of a quartet of her last year's
crop of students . . . now fresh-
men at A & M College.

semester course in freshman
English," Professor Hays wrote
this week, "I have learned
that four out of six of your
former students, now freshmen
nt A & M, have been assigned
to our 'A' sections for superior
students. I congratulate you
and your high school col-
leagues for turning out grad-
uates who are well prepared
for college.
"Two of these hoys, Clois
Beaty and John Prichard, are
in my own 'A' section," Prof-

foundation which goes far to
insure their success in college.
In the first composition of one
of my Canadian students, he
spoke of having written a
theme a week for the semester
in a course of yours. John
Prichard tells me that you
