GOVERNOR FERGUSON WRITES
IN INTEREST OF C. M. T. C.
Fort Sam Houston, April 9—Added
impetus has been given the 1925 pro-
curement campaign for students for
the Citizens’ Military Training camps
with the announcement that the Com-
manding General of the Eighth Corps
Area has received a letter from Gov-
ernor Miriam A. Ferguson, of Texas,
neartily endorsing the C.M.T.C. move-
ment.
This letter is of especial signifi-
cance since the Governor of Texas is
first of all a Mother and her message
will have a direct appeal to the moth-
ers of the eligible young men of this
country. Her letter should completely
squelch any thought that might har-
bor in the minds of some mothers that
the Citizens’ Military Training camps
are hotbeds of militarism.
Governor Ferguson’s letter follows:
Major Gen. Ernest Hinds,
Ft. Sam Houston, Texas.
My dear General Hinds:
I have followed closely your initial
campaign to secure eligible young
men for acceptance as students in the
1925 Citizens’ Military Training
Camps and I wish to assure you that
this movement has my heartiest sup-
port.
A national movement, such as this,
which has for its aims and objective
m the basic course, the inculcation of
habits of discipline and obedience and
the development of the manly virtues
of fair play, self respect, patriotism
and good citizenship, and in the ad-
vanced course, the development of
non-commissioned officers and officer
personnel for the citizen component
of the army of the United States, is
certainly deserving of the sincerest
support of those of us who are en-
grossed in the task of bettering our
communities in every possible way.
To me, the future of our country
rests with the coming generation, that
class of young men of today who are
now at the age when external influ-
ences are to shape their lives. It is
paramount that we attempt in every
way to so place at the disposal of
these young men such an element of
education as will be found in the Ci-
tizens’ Military Training camps, so
that they may be equipped to dis-
charge their duties as citizens in a
manner which will operate for the
betterment of our country.
I believe the Citizens’ Military
Training camps offer a vital element
education which cannot be found

Congratulates School Board On
Purchase of Coronal For
School Purposes.
The work of classifying and ac-
crediting the public schools of Texas
is under the direction of a committee
of six members chosen by the public
schools and six chosen by the col-
leges. This committee determines
the conditions upon which high schools
are classified and accredited for the
purpose of establishing educational
standards, encouraging schools to at-
tain these standards, and certifying
those that have attained them so as
to facilitate the transfer of students
to any other school or college.
observations and made the following
recommendations:
Recommended that the library be
supplied References for the Latin and
Spanish departments, and that a few
standard magazines be added. That
all material submitted for accredit-
ing be carefully considered. That in-
asmuch as physiology and physio-
graphy have not been taught for two
years that credit in these subjects be
withdrawn.
That the school and community be
congratulated on the acquisition of
the property formerly occupied by
Coronal Institute. This is the first
step toward providing a new high
school building that is much needed
That the school be commended for
its generally creditable type of class
work, for the neatness of the build-
ing and equipment, and for the spirit
of order and industry observed among
the student body.
