Houston is considerably stirred UP over the
Imposition TO 70 amend the cnarter az 20
provide for the enforcement OF The pubic
schools from politics and for an elective board
Of trustees to have full management q the
schools. Singular TO relate, somt OF the Hous-
9s9s 40 Who hns ty necd the
public schools In their business -san Antonio
Express.
A great many OF the best and most thought
full people of Houston favored Mr., kittrells
amendment. which sought 20 scgrcgate the
publ!c schools from municipal politics, but
the trouble Is they aid not take the pains to
make their wishes known at Austin, either
through petition or delegation. The result
was. the opposition being represented by g
large delegation headed by the mayor and
ether city officials the committee killed iha
h,ttrell amendment. very largely through de-
fault. II serves those people right who, whi.a
talking so much about politics IN our sch2ols,
lack either the courage or the industry 20
rake the proper showing Of the faith which
they profess. The Post ie disgusted with the
whole crowd OF them-they deserve to be run
