According To the Chicago Evening
Post a similar trouble exists IN
Chicago Thousands of children viii
be denied school privileges because
of lack OF room. and yet Chicago is
another city where the taxpayers
are made TO dance to exceedingly
lively music
We do not pretend to institute
comparisons, for, heaven knows. the
situation is bad enough In Texas,
where hundreds OF rural schools are
unfit for habitation and rural
school teachers receive the most
meager compensation. 1t is true,
generally speaking, that We of the
south are far behind the north in
the matter OF liberality TO common
school education. but the situation
is hopeful in that the sentiment for
better schools and more competent
teachers is increasing. Here in Tex
as. We find a growing sentiment in
favor of improving all branches of
our educational system and other
southern states report gratifying
progress.
1t is evident, however, that there
needs to be an additional awaken
ing throughout the country, not
merely to provide more school room
and TO employ more capable teach
ers, but to adjust the common school
curricula to the needs of the time.
The indications are that within
decade. the movement for practical
ucation--education that will in
erase the efficiency of the youth i'll
heir chosen vocations-will become
national in its scope.
Still, the prime step at this time
IS to provide school room. In all the
great cities there are more school
children than sittings. The need of
buildings in rural districts is even
more pressing. An expenditure of
so, 100000 for rural school build
ings in Texas in a single year would
no more than supply the present
needs of the rural school children
and all the larger Texas cities report
a shortage Of facilities.
If we could omit some of the sky
rocket politics and spectacular re-
form for year or two and turn the
old state upside down in behalf of
education and educational facilities
there would be something doing in
grand old Texas that would cause
the nations Of the earth to sit up and
take notice.
Anyway, public education is the
foundation Of our civilization and

My Dear Sir: About week ago, | sent
to the Atlanta Constitution, for publication,
an inquiry in which every citizen ought to be
interested. The Editor, for some reason, has
not seen fit to publish. 1t may be that he be-

publicity and discussion are not wholesome
with regard to some matters of public concern.
I know that you do not belong to that class,
and I now send you the enquiry for publica-
tion in your Weekly Jeffersorian, though, for
obvious reasons, had desired that it should
appear in daily paper.
Appeal has been made, through the daily
press, for contributions of money to be ex-
pended in the erection of Y. M. c. A. build
