Colorado river, and is usually found
on the sides and apexes OF the Nils
and mountains.
The pecan tree, which produces the
delicious pecan nut, is found on nearly
all the streams, but more abundantly
in Southern and Western Texas,
where there are numerous pecan
groves in the valleys and on the up
lands. Gathering and marketing the
pecan crop forms no inconsidcrable
adjunct to the industries of that sec
ton. The pecan crop of 1887 was
estimated at 100000 pounds, valued
at $4,000.
West of the Tooth meridian the
timber growth is very limited, being
almost exclusively confined to the
ravines and water ways until the out
lying ridges of the Rocky Mountains
are reached.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.

Superintendent Cooper is sending
out the following circular to teachers
outside of Texas
AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 10, 1890.
For the benefit and information OF
teachers, resident out of and wishing
positions in Texas, will cite:
l. The scholastic year begins Sep
TENDER |, and ends August 81.
2. The average school term, in
counties, is five months; in cities and
towns, eight months.
3. The average salary, in counties,
is $40 per month in cities and towns,
800 per month. Salaries of superin-
tendents are from 81 200 to ~, 400; of
principals OF graded schools, from $500
to 1900.
4. Certificates of competency are
divided into three grades. Applicants
for the third grade are examined in Or
biography, reading, writing, arith-
metic, geography and English gram
mar; applicants for the second grade
are examined in the branches for the
third grade and also in composition,
history of the United States, history
of Texas and the theory and practice
OF teaching; applicants for the first
grade are examined in the branches
prescribed for second and third grades,
and also in the elementary branches
of algebra, geometry, natural philoso-
ply and physiology. State certificates
can be obtained only by attendance
for period of time at the State
normal schools. State certificates
from other States are not valid in
Texas.
5. There is ample room in Texas
for good teachers, though it is some
times necessary to commence on a
low salary and demonstrate q fitness
for higher positions. True merit has
its reward in Texas.
6. The best time to secure good
positions is in June and July. If the
applicant is not able to visit the State
and make personal application for a
position, would suggest that a cor
with the county and city
is the best plan to
pursue.
7. The work connected with the
administration of school affairs proper
is too great to permit the State super
to procure positions for
teachers, or to intelligently answer
the great mass of correspondence per-
tanning thereto, hence l have adopted
this mode of giving such information
as is usually desired. Very respect
fully, OSCAR H. COOPER,
State Supt. Pub. Inst.
