Industrial Education.

Austin, Texas. December 11.-Judge V.
w. Grubbs OF Industrial school fame,
was here today and in reply to some
questions with reference to the move
ment he said:
THE movement for educational reform
in Texas is progressing finely in all por-
lions of the STATE. 1t is being indorsed
by the people In their public gatherings
and INDIVIDUALLY, practically without dis
sent. Not long since the North Texas
conference Of the Methodist church.
South, passed vigorous resolutions avOr-
ing the movement IN it's application W
our boys aud girls oil all classes ana
conditions. The Southern Industrial con-
yenton, held last week in New Orleans,
btgng perhaps the largest and most rep
resentaClve body OF the kind ever held IA
the south spoke out ia most unequlvocal
and vigorous terms In favor of sucn re-
form throughout the Southern S.atos
preparatory to the establishment of fac
tories and other indu.trial enterprises.
having in view the development of its
sAred resources. Indeed. the idea per-
nlc1ted the entire proceedings OF the
convention. as almost every paper and
speech on The programme Incorporated
in it some form OF Endorsement of the
proposed educational reform. In re-
Spouse to the sentiment pervading the
convention strong resolutions We're
adopted favoring action in that line by
the proper authority throughout the
Southern States. The sentiment in Texas
in favor OF the establishment of an In
dustrfal college for girls Is rapidly gro%-
ing and would of itself independent Of
the platform demand insure the passage
of the bill by the Twenty legis-
iature. Quite a number of towns and
cities have organized for the contest for
the location of the institution. My at
tention has been specially called to the
vigorous effort In that behalf which is
being made nv the Panhandle city OF
Amarillo, wh cA seems to have taken
the lead in the matter. TIL town Of
Greenville has also done SOME work in
that line and while as citizen of that
splendid little city ! would DC pleased
to see it win the prize, ii is not my pur-
pose to take any stock in favor OF any
of the contestants but to look eyciu-
sively TO the best interests OF the school
for which ] have necessarily laboreo for
so long. Texas must have the finest
institution of that kind in the South and
indeed in the Union and there Is no
reason why it can not be accomplished"
