Summer School A Success
w. H. Apperly Tells Something About the
Summer Session at the A. c.

"Logan has long been well
known as our educational center
for this intermountain region. The
splendid courses of instruction
given to large classes of earnest
educators in our summer school
at the A. C. of U. that has just
closed reflects great credit on our
big institution on the hill" and
keeps up our good name at home
and abroad.
The attendance has been much
larger than last year. Strong
courses have been given by eff
cient instructors. A spirit of good
will, cheerfulness, and social
equality pervaded all the work.
All the public lectures were
well attended and warmly receiv.
ed and appreciated. Perhaps the
last one given on the closing day
by President Widtsoe was the
most practical and uplifting fol
The following reasons: The
lecture dealt directly with the
basic principle in education and
it pointed out to teachers in plain
language the best way to concen.
trate, and how to develop mental
power. The picture of mans re.
lation to his environment and his
true place in nature was well
painted.
If this lecture had been given
on the opening day and all of the

instructors had been present to
profit by it, perhaps still better
class work would have been done
in some eases. Let me illustrate.
In most classes about enough
work was given to be properly
digested; The reading of one or
two books was suggested. These
were carefully read and appreciat
ed, but in some eases the students
were overfed and so many books
were recommended that none
were read. Instructors should
remember that hygiene laws oper-
ate as unerringly on the mental
plane as the physical. Large doses
of literature or mathematics swal-
lowed at gulp may cause bad
case of mental dyspepsia and
give poor results in examination.
One thing is certain-all who
attended the summer school were
well paid for the time spent. We
got new inspiration to press on
in the high and holy work Of
teaching and self Improvement,
and we will always have a good
word to say about our great and
growing institution and its well
equipped faculty.
Credit is due the respective
committees, especially Dr.Thomas
the man of few words but gener-
GUS deeds.

our new spring line of the Grown"
underwear, that we bought before the

ton of any store in our city, we shall put

THE unusual spectacle of ses- sion of the legislature and trial of the president of the last senate on "boodling" charge, in prog = ress at the same time within the radius of a block, will probably be presented during the first month of the present session. The case of Alonzo w. Coving- ton, president of the last state senate. who is under indictment on a charge of perjury growing out of his former trial on a charge of bribery, has been set for trial in the Pulaski circuit court on January 28, and it is understood that both the state and the de- fense will be ready to proceed with the trial on that date. It is possible, also, that other mem. bers Of the last legislature who are under indictment on "bood- ling" charges, will be tried while the legislature is in session.

THE fifth annual convention of the Arkansas Good Roads As sociation will convene in Little Rock the 29th inst and will be in session three days. Questions of practical interest touching the construction and improvement of public highways will be discuss ed, such as National Aid, State Aid, Convict Labor on Roads, County Local Self Government concerning roads, as we'll as machinery for building, cost of construction and different kin d s of material to be used. Every citizen of the state should help to make this the greatest convention ever assembled in the state for any purpose. The railroads from all points have announced a rate for this occasion of one fare plus fifty cents for the round trip.

Tennyson, Tex,

J Editor, TRIBUNE:
 l would like a little space in THE TRIBUNE to tell you some thing of this part of the west.
 This is nice country to look upon and from what can be seen it must be very productive. The soil in the valley around Tenny- son is a deep red, mixed witt sand, while the prairies are dark gray and the whole of it covered with Mesquite, Cat claw, and Cactus, and all kind of thorny growth.
 There is probably one fifteenth of the land in cultivation in this part while near the towns of Ballinger, Miles and Sanaugelo is more thickly settled. The people here are nearly all from the older settled parts of Texas and other states. They are all friendly and sociable and remind me very much of the people in Arkansas. The cattle men will soon be thing of the past here for the land is worth so much more in cultivation.
 There isn't any negroes in this part and not very many Mexi- cans. There is something like one third of the cotton in the fields here and no hands to pick it. They would pay from S1.O0 to S1.50 per hundred to get it picked if they could get a chance to hire pickers. The principal field here is cane and maize which grows to perfection. Corn doesn't do we'll here and wheat and oats are not raised very ex- tensively, although wheat grows fine.
 There isn't any fruit here ex- cept few small peach orchards and vegetables don't grow the, finest in the world.
 This country is all right for a renter as he has everything his way. There ia only one railroad in this part now which is branch of the Santa Fe from Temple to Sanangelo.
 The Orient R. R. is building a line from Kansas City through here and the grade is ready for the ties, It will be ready for business by fall.
 The water in this part is mixed up, some limestone, soft and gyp. All who hasn't had an intro duc- ton to good drink of gyp water come out and get initiated.
 There is all kinds of opportuni- ities here for all classes of people and especially for young men and boys who are not afraid of work.
 Wishing THE TRIBUNE and it's readers success I will close.

UNLESS there is a decided change in sentiment there seems to be good prospect for the pass age of two cent passenger rate bill at the present session of the legislature. There seems to be little doubt that such a measure will go through the house with a rush and that the obstacles, if there are any, will be encountered in the senate. The various or- ganizations of travelling men are making a determined fight for the two. cent rate and the leg islators have been lining up in manner that is encouraging to those working for the measure.
