Chandler Is Speaker
At Meeting of Rotary
C. O. Chandler, city school sup-
erintendent, talked to the Rotary
Club Tuesday at noon on the
“Progress of Education In Texas"
and how citizens can help their
schools. ■
Chandler said "problems created
by record enrollments and inflated
economy cannot be solved by
board members and personnel
alone" but must be studied by the
entire community.
“Our schools fare the greatest
crisis within their 100 years of be-
ing,” he added, "because of un-
precedented prosperity in this re-
gion which is bringing additional
students to an already overcrowd-
ed system.”
