OCTAVE TERRIo, Secretary.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-04-21

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
! very much regret that the author
of the article appearing in your issue of
Sunday, entitled Common Sense and
Schools" should have so far forgotten
himself in his position as writer, and
by his writing rs an educator of the
Texan public, as to indulge in criti-
cisms that We're hasty and unjust both
to the author of the article entitled
"Austin College, and to himself.
Now, sir, l am perfectly willing to
discuss ony question of public interest
in a manly way, and | am quite will
ling to go before the public with III.
w. A." on schools or any other public
enterprise.
He does not reply to single sentence
in the article on Austin college. He
unjustly charges me with complain
ing of Texas schools not being as good
Us Harvard" l do no such thing.
only cited Hazard college and others
MS examples for Texas to follow. Nor
do go so far as to say Texas neverwill
have such institutions rs mentioned in
other states. Nor do | intimate that it
will take "rexas fifty years to make u
better showing than the present." but
III. w. "A. has fallen into those errors
himself. Neither do l disparage the
cline of churches, residences, manufac-
tories, printing offices, farms and stores
of Texas"
A fair comparison of the two articles
in question will not prove parent" to
be that "ill-natured and self-conceited
anonymous writer, who is better hand
mt pulling down than building up" but
will prove quite the contrary, and, !
think, put the saddle on the other
horse. "H. w. A." has seen ghost,
and is evidently frightened at what he
may think is an effort to undermine
''Dallas College," so-called. Well may
he number Dallas college with those
colleges to which certain ''young men
hasten and leave, almost as soon as
they get in, with diplomas in their
pockets, bearing off the first hOnOrs."
"H. w. A." "does not reflect in the
least on the management of these col
leges." "Parentn does, and he will go
before the public with the reflection
that such colleges 10 not merit the
name, and are a disgrace to civilization.
Where is the man, of common sense
and experience on education, that will
call primary school u college? Whilst
am ready to admit, and already limited
in the article on Austin college, in the
HERALD of the 10Th, that climate has
something to do with the success of
any school, its management Is the main
spring. The public must not UNDER
stand me as rejecting upon Dallas col
lege or any Of Dallas schools. 1 do
not propose to berate them, and doubt
less they will compare favorably with
any primary schools. They are the very
schools that Dallas Is now mostly in
need of namely, primary schools. But

An Interesting Question Can Con
sumption be Cured.

This question Is often asked but rarely an
swered to the satisfaction of the patient.
Our answer is that pulmonary consumption
in its inclpient form il as durable rs any
other disease, If only the right remedies are
applied. The question naturally arises rs to
what are the remedies? In reply, we state
that Marsdens Poctoral Balm has been used
successfully in over million of cases, and
has been adopted by physicians as the most
reliable remedy known for the treatment of
Bronchial affections.
One great reason that Marsden's Pectoral
Balm has gained such popularity, is the fact
that it is within the reach of all, and can be
purchased from all dealers at fifty cents for
small or one dollar a large bottle. One bot
tie will effect 81 cure in most cases.
