SAN MARCOS, June 4.-All the
beauty and fashion of San Marcos
turned out last night to attend. the
concert at Harper's Hall, gotten up
under the auspices of the Baptist
Ladies' Aid Society. The Gypsy
Camp, or the Fortunes of Gypsy
Maid, was so well rendered by
amateur talent as to call forth a re-
quest generally from citizens to-day
that the piece be repeated again to-
night, which will be done, when a
more lengthy notice will be given
The amount netted last night, after
paying all expenses, was 1925, and
doubtless as much more will be
raised tonight. The proceeds will
swell the fund for building Bap-
tist Church at this place.

..Texas bias an institution known as the

"Texas has an institution known as the
Agricultural and Mechanical College, To-
Gated near Bryan. The object ofthat col
lege, as contemplated by the law, is to
give its students practical knowledge of
agriculture and of those sciences pertain
ing to agriculture, and to enable such of
the youngamen as desire to do so, to learn
some trade. Such a college ought TO be
hberally supported, and lift was and Its
objects were carried fully into effect, it
would be worth hundred fold more to
the state, and to the youth of the state,
than any university will ever be. But
does this college effect the objects for
which 1t was founded? We see that its
pupils are taught Upton's Infantry Tactics.
Would not the time taken up by military
drill be better expended by these young
men in learning how to bed up cotton rows
or plant corn, or dig potatoes, or shove a
jackplane, or sharpen plow, or lay brick,
OF make shoes; By learning these things
the Young man develops his physical
being, gains health, and thereby is ena-
bled the more readily to acquire n knowl-
edge of books, and when he goes out into
the world to do for himself he has n foun-
dation on which TO build. He can go to
farming, knowing how to farm, or he can
go to work at whatever trade he may
have acquired and be self-supporting at
| once. But you send boy to your public
| enough and advanced enough to send him
| to a state university, or some other col
| lege, and let him stay there until he fin
ishes the prescribed course, and then,
just as he is of age, turn him loose to bat
tie. with the tide himself, and he is as help
less as babe.-DdIlas Herald.
Lob" The Herald might here have add
ed AN argGneit in favor of sthe
speed ,ssn seof a state nni-
versity, at which The sons, of our
great politicians might learn the sci
ences and the languages, and how,tD
be plain civilians instead of military
gentleman at other than public ex-
pense. The A. & NJ, College should
turn out educated agriculturists
and mechanics, and not Crisp young
men, who would make poor army
officers or business men, and whO
understand less about agriculture
and mechanics than the ten year old
farm boy, who has learned to drive
up cows and make deadfalls. The
history of the college has been one
of utter perversion of purposes
for which the endowment was
made, and unless it be speedily re-
organized on the real agricultural
and mechanical plan, its present de-
cadence will be followed by suspen-
sion, and the bare walls and the
empty rooms of the desolate look
ing building will be all remaining to
show that the masses feel no inter
est in military schools, where the
sword and musket take the place OF
the plow and the plane. Texas will
establish great institution of learn
ing for the great southwest, where
all advanced learning may be ac-
quired, but while it does this the
A. & M. College should be looked
after, and the. new board OF trus-
tees. when they assemble, should
not adjourn until a pure agrcultu-
raj and mechanical college is pro-
vided for.
