Oh Tne question of free grass the En-
mis- Review makes the following pratical
suggestions: at is nothing but right
that revenue be derived from the lease
Of the school lands. There has been
great deal Of discussion on this question
but we do not see any new ideas devel-

years ago, when II was made an issue In
the Senatorial race in this district be-
tween Hon. w. ii. Getzendaner and DIR.
A. Nj. Douglas. Mr.. Getzendaner fav-
ored the lease system and on this ques-
ton defeated DIR. Douglas. We believe
now, us then, that the true policy for
disposing of school lands, is to lease
them for as short time as practicable
and subject to purchase by bona fide
settlers. There is great deal of gush
and sentiment INDUCED in about free
grass and great deal Of it means that

The LIGHT has received the sixth an

nal institute, of Huntsville. Texas.
The school year opens September 10,
1884, and closes June 10, 1885. During
the five years Of the school there have
been a grand total of 75G students in at
tendance, many of whom are now filling
positions as teachers in all portions of
the State. DIR. j. l.. NJ. Curry, General
Agent of the Peabody Education fund,
in his last report to the Trustees, says:
"1he Sam Houston Normal institute,
under the able and wise management Of
DIR. j. Baldwin, grows in usefulness and
popularity. During four years the an
nual attendance has increased from 10
to 200, and the number Of graduates an
nually from 81 to77. Besides the annual
appropriation, the Legislature gave
$4,000 for apparatus and $1,000 for a Ii
brary. The course Of study has been eX-
tended to three years, and the Board of
Education has so changed the rule as to
permit students to attend two years at
the expense of the State. The constitu-
tional amendments, and the new school
law, fix the policy of sustaining all the
public schools at least six months, be-
sides giving the privilege of extending
the time by local taxation"
