Establishment Of the State station now known

ton of $4,000 was made for It's equipment
and support.
We have also to report that the Interest

of these agricultural enterprises will almost

Report of Committee
on Education.

Your committee of the Texas Farmcrs
Congress. appointed at its last annual SEES
sion. begs leave to state in explanation OF
the report herewith presented TO the con
gross that we find the subject assigned US
too broad to treat fully in single report, In
Guiding as it does features Of technical or
industrial education. and general education
also. We therefore contine ourselves In
this report to such features of industrial
education as seem to press more partieu-
larly upon the farmers attention at this
time
Education in this report is treated under
the following heads;
a.. Educational advantages Of the A;
and NJ. college and the Texas Industrial
School for Girls,
(2). Teaching agriculture in the public
schools throughout the state.
49,. The Inauguration of system OF
state farmers Institutes for the benefit OF
the adult farmers of the State;
Industrial education may fairly ne sall
to have begun with Froebels kindergarten,
some two centuries ago, and the idea Is
now represented by hundreds Of trade
schools. cymnasia. and schools OF asrlcul'
ture, mining and engineering. The pregp
dice and unbellef which for long WINE
resisted the efforts Of the early masters OF
industrial education are now rapidly
hrenkinc down This will take place Just
in the ratio that appreciation and respect
are felt by the masses themselves, toi
honest labor intelligently applied IN the
arts.

TILE A. AND n. COLLEGE.

This institution was begun about quar-
ter of a century ago, but during its early
history competent instructors for industrial
departments were scarcely to be found
because no training schools had prepared
such men for the delicate and responsible
duties as teachers OF the agricultural and
mechanical arts.
After few years of progress, the insti'
tuition was recognized. The courses OF IN
struction. and the officers employed were
selected more strictly for legitimate Indus
trial objects than before. We note that

selectmen then acted as they thought
was best for the town, and as Mr..
Peene was willing to pay fair tax
they thought it best to accept it rather
than to fight as the town had too many
lawsuits already for its good. under
stand that H. E. Lyon has reported that
the board reduced Mr.. Peene's grand list
to the extent that the town is receiving
but little more in taxes from the property
than when it was owned by Fox and Car
penter. If those who are interested will
take the trouble to look it up they will
find that this is an error, as the property
on the east side of the road was listed at
that time at $21O6, while after the reduction
of $1,000 had been made by the board of
abatement it stood at $6526. I feel that it
is an injustice to the town, to Mr.. Peene
and to the board of abatement that such
reports should be circulated and l take
this opportunity to explain the matter in
the hope that different condition Of
affairs may be brought about.
