I think that every one will!
agree with me that far above
the average of students from
Bartlett High attend college.

Jem aa our curriculum needs to I
fit those students as well as
students who never take a high-
er education. We here have
tried to give enough core work
for those who plan a higher ed
ucation and still have tried to
offer .enough vocational selec-
tion for those who do not plan
additional learning.
Out of the above two gradu
ating groups we find 5 boys and
6 girls who
have definitely
made their home in Bartlett. In
most cases the girls have mar
ried men who have either a bus-
iness or are farming in Bart-
Jett. This represents les3 than
26 per cent of these two class-
ts. This represents a national
trend of the young people who
after graduation go to the larg-
cr cities. They will continue to
do bo until there is an equal
opportunity for industry in
Bartlett. This may or may nev-1
cr happen. What has happened
to the above classes has happen-
d to classes before them and is
3iappening- to classes after them

ity can keep all their young peo-
jple and that it is our job to give

to the usual average most of it

like it will be saved in good

turned under their stubble and

OF FACTS AND FUN
By Nora Robert and Son
Dr. T. R. Sunbury cnlled this
office and inquired about the
small building being built on
i the southwest corner of the
j Quality Mill's elevator. It seems
. that he was expecting a call to
go there for the inspection of
a questionable building. We still
haven't learned what kind of
. building is under construction
your guess is a? good as
ours.
As the long awaited rain be-
gan to fall Wednesday after-
noon we saw people rushing into
the streets looking toward the
sky. They didn't seem to think
that it could happen here. U
was rather unusual to see men
wading across the street shoe-
loss . . . especially Werner
Braun.

called her neighbors from Bart-
iJett to ask them to go to her
house and lower the windows
.just before the rain here Wed-

'neighbors had already taken

A Personal View
Of Devastation
Caused B.y Drouth
By Adrian Moore and
V. C. Marshall
What do you think Bell Coun-
ty would look like with 13 inches
rainfall in four years? What
can be done to help the ranch-
er? in Texas? Will their going
broke have any effect upon our
wav of living?
We made a viit to Horace
Faucett's ranch about 40 miles
north of Del Rio over the week-
end and the story he told us
looks even worse than we read
in the papers. He runs one sheep
to each 7 acres from which they
get 20 per cent of their ration.
The remaining 80 per cent of
their ration he has to feed. Mr.
Faucett said "It costs me .$1.50
per sheep per month to feed.
I have already spent more in
feed than my sheep are worth.
I would have been better off if
I had sold my whole flock sev-
eral months ago."
Mr. Faucett is a prominent
rancher in west Texas and serv-
ed as one of the first members
on the Soil Conservation State
Roord. Several representatives
and senators have contacted
him for information as to how
the government may help the
rancher. We asked him the
same question and this is what
he had to say: "The drouth we
have had in the last four years
is the worst in the history of
our country. Most ranchers
have been overstocked and with
ruined. I doubt that our land
reined. I doubt that our land
can ever be restored to the nor-
mal state. The only thing that
can save us is at least two
wet years and not loan' and
cheaper feed. I just don't know
what else can be done or what
we are going to do to stay in
business."
That part of the state is in j
thel hill country. Many trees'
are dead in that country and
range land is as bare as our
