ing the following resolutions:
No. I.—Be is resolved that we
endorse Governor Neff’s Program
of Education.
1. The State must recognize ed-
ucation as a vital function of the
government.
2. Let the State make a thor-
ough, scientific, impartial, survey
of our entire educational life.
3. Make the State the big unit
of the educational system with a
strong, active, aggressive State
board of education as the admin-
istrative head.
4. Invest not less than $50 in
every child in the State within
scholastic age.
5. Provide nine months of
school each year for every child
in Texas.
6. Tap in Texas new sources of
revenue in order to, get money
with which to pay our education-
al bill

saner, and more economic method

8. See to it that our scholastic
census is accurettely and honestly
taken.
9. Make the scholastic appor-
tionment on the basis of actual at-
tendance at school. \
10. Take up the slack, stop the
leaks, and eliminate the waste and
duplication in our educational
system.
11. Teach the boys and girls in
the State some of the practical
things of life, and impress on their
minds the thought that the man
whose brow glistens with the
beads of honest sweat is king of
men “for a’ that and a’ that.”
No. II.—Be it resolved that this
institute go on record as favor-
ing the most rigid economy in the
management of all school affairs
of our State. We, therefore,
wish4 to express our unanimous
disapproval of such acts as the re-
cent act of our Text Book Com-
mission in electing to change text
books at a time when our entire
school system is in dire need of
funds to maintain its present ef-
ficiency. We do not wish to go
on record as opposing any move
towards .educational advancement
but when text books have proven
that they are adequate for our
present needs we do oppose a
change that entails an expendi-
ture of vast sums of money taken
from* our available funds when

Among other matters decided up-
on were the following:
That no charges will be filed
during January for failure to

strictly enforced after January
31st. Complaints for other vio-
lations of the highway law,—
such as speeding, driving at night
without lights, etc.,—will be re-
ceived any time.
That the Sunday-closing law-
should be enforced the same as
any other law. There are many
exceptions to this law up to 9

law will be strictly enforced after
9 o’clock. Get your Sunday ci-

Seven of the sixteen standard
railroad unions are still on a tech-

the country’s railroad mileage.
These are the six shop-crafts
unions and the oilers union. Rail-
there have been passed at the in-
stance of various small bunches
of lobbyists of different interests
and so-called reformers, a lot of
“tom fool” laws which do not re-
flect the sentiment of the majori-
ty of the people, as all laws in our
system of government should.

Minuet Waltz (Cliopin-Powell).
The “Minuet Waltz” is so call-
ed because it can be played with-
in the space of a minute. The
French call this fascinating piece
the “little dog waltz,” because of
the story of how the pianist Cho-
pin came to compose it. Chopin
and George Sand, the famous
woman novelist, were one day
much amused at the antics of a lit-
tle dog whirling madly around
trying to catch his own tail.
‘Had I your nimble fingers,” said
the lady to Chopin, “I should
compose a waltz for the little fel-
low. ’ ’
Acting on this playful sugges-
tion the composer went to the pi-
ano and played this dainty num-
ber, which pictures the play of
the little dog. Maud Powell ar-
ranged this piece for her own in-
strument, and it makes a charm-
ing violin number. Sometimes the
music suggests that the dog is be-
coming dizzy and nearly loses his
balance. In one plaee, near the
end, there is a brilliant run in
which the bow jumps as it strikes
the strings of the violin. Notice
also that the piece ends, as does
“The Bee,” in a pizzicato chord,
obtained by plucking two open
strings with the finger. The slow
fiddle part of a waltz is called a
trio. Are the first and last parts
alike? What is the pattern of
this piece?
TEXAS OIL PRODUCTION
OF 1922 EXCEEDS 1921 BY
'm
OVER 4,000,006 BARRELS
Oil production in Texas reached
a new high record for the State in
the year 1922, eclipsing by more
than 4,000,000 barrels the State’s
record for 1921, which was in it-
self the banner record of the
State up to the beginning of tke
year just closed.
Texas’ total oil production for
1922 was more than 109,000,000
barrels. In 1921 the State pro-
duced more than 105,000,000 bar-
rels of oil, holding third place
among the States of the Union as j
an oil producing seetion. The tws
States which led Texas in oil pro-
duction in 1921 were Oklahoma
and California, Oklahoma’s pro-
duction being in excess of 115,-
000,000 barrels and CaliforniaV
yield being in exeess of 114,000,
barrels. While production fig-
ures for the other States hawe ndt
been totaled yet, it seems safe
say that Texas will hold by a
mendous margin third
an oil producing State in
tals for the United States.
Arkansas production has
big strides, as a result of the
sational development in
Smaekover field, Oklahoma,
ifornia and Texas are the
States, individually, passing
100,000,000 barrel mark in
duction for the year.

the Troubadour, sung within the

of devotion from his beloved.

Midsummer Night’s ’* Dream—
Wedding March (Mendelssohn)—
Shakespeare has inspired much
music, as well he might, hut none
lovelier than Mendelssohn’s over-
ture to “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream.” Composed while Men-
delssohn was a boy, it has in it the
essence of eternal spring time. It
opens with four mysterious chords
summoning the fairies, which
come tripping in with gossamer
lightness. This gives plaee to a
melody of lyric loveliness; and
then comes the famous imitative
passage referring to Bottom as
the Ass. This celebrated “don-
key’s bray” occurs about half
way through the record, and can
not be mistaken. More of the fai-
rv dance follows and more lovely
melody. The overture closes with
the same four mysterious chords
with which it opens.
