college while in Illinois one out of
1166 enters its great consolidated ed-
ucational institution. Hence a larger
percentage of the population attends
college in the States that have no con-
solidation of their higher institutions
of learning. Is that all the argument
that can be adduced in favor of our
contention? Certainly these facts
would suffice for any except the dull-
est minds but facts more potent and
stronger than any yet given will be
found in the comparison of the agri-
cultural wealth of these States and
the illiteracy. Farm property per
capita is valued at $605 In Illinois at
$692 in Wisconsin at $605. These are
States boasting of their great consoli-
dated schools. These are the States
that uninformed persons are pointing
to with pride to show what the uni-
versities are doing to educate the
farmer and to increase the agricul-
tural wealth of their States.
Now let us take the States in the
same group whose agricultural col-
leges are separate and independent of
their State universities. The farm
property per capita in Kansas is
$1286; in Michigan it is $387; in Iowa
$1688 nearly three times more than
what it is in California and Wisconsin.
The average per capita farm wealth
in those States where the agricultural
colleges are left to work out their own
destiny is $1097 and In the three
States California Wisconsin and Illi-
nois with the great consolidated uni-
versities the farm wealth per capita
Is only $634. But let us carry the com
parison a little further to show that
it Is the application of science to agri-
culture which makes this vast differ-
ence in favor of the Independent agri-
cultural colleges. In the States of
Iowa Michigan and poor bleeding Kan-
sas the average value of their cattle
horses mules swine and sheep is far
in excess of California Wisconsin and
Illinois.
We come how to the most Important
comparison of all. Education is not
intended alone to increase the wealth
and material prosperity of a State but
its greatest mission is to enlighten the
people to elevate them morally spir-
itually and mentally. In. order to do
this the great educational institutions
must permeate the masses and there
make their influences felt in the com-
mon schools. This has been done far
better in the States of Michigan Iowa
and Kansas than In the States of Cali-
fornia Wisconsin and Illinois. The
percentage of illiteracy in California
is 3.7; in Illinois it is 3.7; in Wis-
consin it is 3.2. Now look how it dis-
appears in the States of Iowa Michi-
gan and Kansas States bear in mind
that from the beginning of higher edu-
cation have supported maintained and
governed their universities and agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges at
different places wholly Independent of
each other. The percentage of illit-
eracy In Iowa is 1.7; In Michigan ii
is 3.3; and in Kansas 2.2. The average
percentage of illiteracy in the States
of consolidated schools Is 10.6; nnd in
the States of independent schools it
i3 7.2.
Then if more students attend the
agricultural and mechanical college
and State university in States where
they are separate and independent
than in States where they are consoli-
dated; if a larger percentage study
agriculture in the former; if the farm
values are greater per capita in the
States that maintain their institutions
separately; if the percentage of Illit-
eracy is less then why in the name
of common sense and the great cause
of education should anyone advocate
consolidation?
But these are not all the reasons for
maintaining the autonomy of these
great schools. The system of educa-
tion as designed by the authors of the
land grant colleges has advantages too
numerous to mention In the great
scheme of industrial progress. The
strongest reason after all for auton-
omy Is the small expense necessary
to attend these land grant colleges
( without which advantage thousands of
young men now at'tendlng them would
never go to college. This Is all the
more important when it Is considered
that these schools furnish the same
thorough liberal and practical train-
ing in the several sciences underlying
industrial pursuits that Is furnished by
the universities.

To the Honorable J. C. Scott Judge

We the grand Jury duly organized
sworn and charged at the March term
A'. D. 1913 of the District Court of
Brazos County Texas to Inquire into
and true presentment make of all vio-
lations and infractions of the penal

fractions and violations of the penal
laws of this State; have examined
about two hundred and fifty witnesses
and have returned Into court forty-four
(44) bills of Indictment eleven (11) of
which are of the grade of felony and
thirty-three (33) of which are mis-
demeanors. 2. We are glad to note that the.
commission of crime in our county is
decreasing but we respectfully call at-
tention to the peace officers of the
county and call upon the citizenship
of the county to prevent the promis-
cuous carrying of pistols as we be-
lieve that one of the most prolific
sources of crime is the carrying of
concealed weapons.
3. We have inspected the jail and
find the same In good sanitary condi-
tion and the Inmates thereof receiving
proper cnro and treatment for which
the sheriff of the county is to be com-
mended. 4. We desire to thank the sheriff
district attorney county attorney as
well as all bailiffs for the efficient
services they have rendered us during
our deliberations. Our labors having
come to an end we respectfully sub-
mit this as our final report and beg
to be now finally discharged.
