BRYAN, TEXAS. FEB. ,. 1907.
TINE PEOPLES SCHOOL. .

II is a cold, hard fact that sons
of sovereign citizens of the greatest
state of the American Union are
sleeping in tents at our one institu-
ton at which agriculture is taught.
1t speaks well for the determine
ton Of the boys; it speaks well for
the enterprise of those who man.
age the affairs OF the Agricultural
and Mechanical College at College
Station that they should crowd
every room and then provide tents
for more boys; but it's great big
roast for the lawmakers, the legis-
lature, that no better provision
should be made for these boys.
Hundreds of boys want an indus
trial education. They want to be
producers. They want to add to
the wealth of this great state, and
it's a bowling shame that the short
sightedness of our government
has taken the opportunity away
from them.
This matter is respectfully re-
ferred to the Thirtieth legislature.
The people of Texas are willing TO
pay taxes. They do pay taxes,
and they don't like to have their
boys deprived of the opportunity
of getting an education such as will
make them useful and valuable citi"
zens. Mr.. Campbell in his CAM
paign was enthusiastic in advocat-
ling rational and useful education.
A number of the members of the
house and senate in their campaigns
were equally enthusiastic on this
subject. 1t is now up to them tc
make good or lie down.
The editor of Southwestern Far
mer gives il as his personal opinion
that the peoples school" at Col
lege Station is going to be better
treated in the future than it has in
the past, because lie knows that the
governor of Texas and.the mem
bers of the Thirtieth legislature are
too sensible and too honest to re-
pudiate their campaign promises
by failing to provide proper facili'
ties for the education OF our boys.
Texas is the greatest agricultural
state in the union; it produces more
wealth from agriculture, and its
agricultural class pays more taxes.
Texas has scarcely begun TO de-
velop agriculturally. Notwith-
standing its agricultural greatness
today, that greatness will appear
insignificant in years to come, and
yet Texas as state does less to
develop and promote its agricul-
tural interests than any state in the
union.
| will make the assertion that at
no other agricultural college on the
face OF the earth will be found sons
of taxpayers sleeping in tents in
order that they may equip them
selves to pay the taxes that sup
port the government. Southwest
