or rather, of those admirable
classes for dancing and deport

they teach is wholesome.
Watch the little boy who is
numbered among their clien
tele, and see how he is on the
alert to faise his cap in ac
knowledgment- of a greeting,
and how cordial his manner of
welcome is. He is quick, too,
when he sees a handkerchief
dropped to pick it up. He
never forgets to hold open the
door for his sister to pass into
the room before him, and, in
fact without being in the least
unmanly, he seems to be al-
ways thinking of others. His
sister, too, how gracefully she
enters a room; in what easy,
pretty attitude she stands and
unconsciously seats herself
without bringing into promi-
nence angular arms and limbs;
how politely and easily she re-
ceives a visitor or delivers a
message! How free she is from
awkward, self-conscious embar-
rassment, and what promise
she gives of developing into a
graceful courteous woman!
We forget when we see such
children that we ever believed
they must pass « through an
awkward age, and we hail
with delight whatever in-
fluences have tended to
encourage such courtesy
and kindliness. Good man-

building for the Engineering
Department and for the School
of Physics is also needed.
Books are needed for the ' libra-
ry, and the laboratories can be
made more efficient by an in-
crease in equipment. Strong
recommendations are made by
a number of professors of the
Medical Department at Galves-
ton looking to the establish-
ment of a state hospital.
The University gives evi-
dence of improvement in every
department. Eventually it
will become what the conserva-

ed several years ago, "The ed-
ucational center of the
Southwest."

We clip the following resolu-
tions from the Republican
Platform, adopted at the recent
Republican State Convention
held at Ft, Worth. These res-
olutions were ottered by Major
Smith, of Haskell; the first be
ing a much needed law to pro-
tect our cattlemen from the rav-
ages of wild animals that are
very destructive to stock and
range. The latter voices the
feelings of this liberal and gen-
erous hearted man, Major
Smith, who is a type of that
class who are so numerous in
this part of Texas, who are al-
ways in the front rank when it
comes to helping their brother-
man. We afe proud to say
that it is this class of people
who "carry their hearts in
their hands," that makes
northwest Texas the most de-
sirable place for man to live.
"To encourage stock and
wool industries in this state,
we demand that a scalp law be
passed by our legislature that
will cause the extermination of
all wild animals that prey up-
on the large herds, or destroy
the grass on the prairies of the
state.
'•We commend to the people
of Texas the adoption of the
constitutional amendment pro-
viding for pensions to the ex-
confederates residents of Tex-
as."
