next Legislature, which, will fail t
be noticed by he "Solons" of tn
'Lone Star State. But educator
like any other class must holC
their meetings 10 frame resolution
with many "WIlereases" and lonl
list of grievances, or remain I'M
noticed. The world, to some de
gree must be indebted to the news
paper men for introducing the ad
vertising plan. The "News Men
say, you must advertise. The mas
ses say you must talk your bust
ness. This haH become such q
craze that all classes howl about
their wants. Perhaps, it would be
better, for many vocations, to dc
less talking and more working.
Texas State Superentendants
Association concluded its work
yesterday. Prof r. W. Lowery
in his forcible AMI heartfelt man.
ner warmly welcomed the associa-
ton. Hon. o. II. Cooper respond
ed in style which is character
istic of this mostpopular educator.
Following President Wits address
the usual discussion of excel
lent themes for the Supt to master
was ''to what extent should free ed
ucation be carried" Exciting much
enthusiasm. Is uniformity in the
graduation of public school advisa-
ble?" "If SO how Gun it be brought
about?" Ably handled. At 3d.
clock P. NJ. Loca. Taxation: To
what extent should it be carried?
Is compulsory Taxation Adyisa-
BILE? Absorbing much time. Then
the question of Possibilities of the
public school System of Tex.
During the discussion of the first
question of the evening one of the
speakers alluded to the textbook
bill in something o.. the following
manner. That the legislature pass
ed it because a plank in the Dem
ocratic platform demanded it. The
alliance captured the democratic
convention and ran it and the ALI
Ance inserted the text book plank
in the platform. Legislators had
told him that they opposed the
rtaifnrnn tav+ hook Hill hszt .nted
for it because the platform deman-
ded it. 1t does look as if some
Legislators oil the camel and try
to swallow him whole. Among the
representatives of your section of
Texas we see registered E. L. Ha-
gan, Ballinger, Prof. J. R. Griffin,
Llano, Prof. Burns Cherokee Prof.

Boyd. Burnet. The address of vel
come, by Mayor Mcdowell, was
brief and to the pOintls was also the
response by Mr.. Warren of Fl
Worth. Prof. Boickler of Galveston
and Supt Cousin of lMexia. The
address of W. S. Sutton Pres. of
the Association as usual, a well
written aud lengthy article.
Supt. Cooper of Galveston showed
the College and University to mean
something more than what is i'm
piled generally in Texas. Miss
Minnie Rawling of Bllrnet is Pres
ident of the Primary and Interme-
date Section whose address was
full of points of interest character
istic of the zeal Of an energetic ed
ucator. Austin puts forth
every effort to entertain the Teach
ers. All that southern hospitality
can suggest is done to make the
stay of the tired and weary teach
ers pleasant. The Capitol is one
of the most wonderful,
LATER.
The 18th Annual Convention of
the ''Texas State Teachers Asso-
citation" is thing of The past. A
dreamy sensation pasiies over the
writer as he muses. about what it
has accomplished. Each educator
will feel not little indebted to the
good citizens for the kind treat
ment enjoyed. And many who live
in the more distant parts of the
State, and have seldom visited
Austin, will have fixed on their
memory, deeper sense of graft
tude, and more elevated of the
Grand State of Texas Tor the be-
nevolent and charitable institu-
tons, for the unfortunate, which
are located at our capital.
Austin presents many attrac-
