"Love, beauty, joy. and wor-
ship arc forever building, un-
building, and re-building each
man's soul." Plotinus.
A post woman is the latest
thing in the feminine progress of
England. Hut the peculiar thing
about it is that she doesn't wear
a regular post-man's costume.
One fourth of the more than
.xteen million bales of cotton
raised in the United States last
year was grown in Texas. The
biggest crop in the history of
the nation, and Texas formed

point to one case where the or-
dinary jail sentence has brought
about reform in the drunkard.
It may humiliate him, crush
him, ruin his reputation, but
it will never encourage or
stimulate him to go and sin no
more. To do this, a method
more sympathetic, more scien-
tific, and with a keener vision
into the future, must be adopted.
To sentence the drunk to work
his fine out on the county road
or the streets, would be a wiser
and more judicious means, and
one, we believe, that would be
more likely to result in a cure of
! the victim. Yet,to send the man
i to the hospital where the poison
I of the cursed stuli' could be elim-
inated from his system, would
leave him in somewhat the same
state, so far as his physical con-
dition is concerned, that he en-
joyed before he became addicted
to the habit. It would, of course,
not restore to him his manhood,
will power and moral prestige,
but it would put him in a condi-
tion that would assist him in re-
gaining these.
children. Before the mother can
j secure such aid, she must con-
vince the authorities that she is
absolutely in need of the prof-
! ferred succor. This aid varies
in the different states from $3.25
'to $10.00 or $12.00 for each
child, depending, too, on the
number of children and the earn-
ing capacity or other income of
the family. Its purpose is to
enable the mother to stay at
home with her children, give
them the proper parental care,
educate them, and thus prepare
them to be good and useful citi-
zens. It forestalls crime by
eliminating the necessity for
petty thefts, truancy, and so
forth, and makes the wholesome
home influence possible, some-
thing many orphaned children
never have. The good effect of
the laws, where tried, has al-
ready been felt, and further-
more there has been little cause
for criticism of their application.
posal and force the institutions
to undertake to adjust their dif-
ferences and plan their future
on a less selfish, more com-
prehensive and aspiring plan
than can possibly issue for many
years out of separation without
a dependable and duly apportion-
ed constitutional tax.

Kach side of the warring par-

casualties in their own ranks.
Perhaps there is method in this,
but it looks more like the folly of
school boy tactics.

Houston, Texas, June l!>, 1915.
Dear Mr. Milner:
On my return, I find your kind
letter of the 12th and regret that
I cannot share your interest in
the success or failure of the o-
callcd Sackett resolution at the
election on the 21th day of July,
for. on maturer consideration, I
have no reason to change my
opinion that separation of the
two institutions through the me-
dium of the ill-phrased Sackett
resolution (not providing sup-
port by moans of constitutional
tax) is a small run around the
vital problem dependable and
adequate means of equipment
and maintenance.
If the resolution is adopted, of
course, all of us will have to
make the best of it. but judging
from the inability of the parti-
sans of both institutions to agree
upon an equitable and well stud-
ied ordinance for separation,
many years will elapse, I fear,
before they will have the heart
and vision to agree upon a just
apportionment of a constitutional
tax.
If the resolution is defeated,
probably the Governor's one-
board plan will be tried, or fail-
ing that, a monumental consti-
tutional program may possibly be
adopted and offered to the peo-
ple with the unanimous support
of all concerned.
If I did not believe that the
one-board plan, separation or
non-separation, is subordinate to
the financial problem. I would
actively oppose the adoption of
the resolution. As fhe situation
confronts us, I am more or less
indifferent.
It is very likely that that Uni-
versity, A. &■ M ami other higher
educational institutions will be
five or ten years in finding them-
selves or coming into their own
in this State such a tardy even-
tual ion will lie at the door of
short-sighted partisans of the
University and A. & M. who
have so far never been able to
give and take in behalf of achiev-
ing the one indispensable thing,
that is, dependable and adequate
mean.- They are perfectly will-
mgalmost tocommit man: laught-

What County Schools Must
Do To Receive Aid
From State
At the last session of the Legis-
lature an appropriation was made
to distribute one million dollars
among the common schools of
Texas.
State Superintendent Doughty
has made from the bill a summary
of rules or requirements that each
school must observe to be able to
participate in the distribution of
this fund. They are as follows:
1. Kach school receiving state
aid shall be well located on a plot
of ground of not less than one
acre, well drained and supplied
with pure drinking water.
2. School house shall be erect-
ed in accordance with the pro-
visions of the school-house build-
ing law of Texas, or shall sub-
stantially meet the requirements
therefor.
Kach school shall be
provided with necessary desks,
seats, blackboards, maps,globes,
charts, and library as recom-
mended in the state course of
study, or as in the opinion of the
state superintendent the school
is liable to purchase.
I. Teachers employed in such
schools shall furnish the state
superintendent with satisfactory
evidence of professional training
and sucessful experience.
f>. In order to receive state
aid each school must have a
scholastic enrollment under 2(M)
pupils, and at the same time
there must be 70 per cent of the
actual enrollment in daily at-
tendance.
The enrollment for the preced-
ing year must have averaged 50
per cent of the total enrollment.
The school district must have
levied and be collecting a local
tax of not less than 50 cents on
the $100 valuation of property.
7. Kach school shall teach in
addition to the subjects prescrib-
ed by law, Klementary Agri-
culture as authorized by the
state course of study, and the
elementary principles of Domes-
tic Science, including sewing
and cooking.
Schools meeting the above re-
quirement may apply to the
State Hoard of Kducation for
aid on applications addressed to
