IT'S A GRAVE SITUATION, ALL
RIGHT.

The average Palestine citizen fails
to realize the gravity of the water
situation. 1t is estimated that with
out rains within the next sixty days
the town will be absolutely without
water supply, except for few els
terms and wells. There will be no
water for flushing purposes, and the
sewer system will be out of business.
AS it is now there is no water fit for
drinking or domestic purposes. The
water is muddy, and has an offensive
odor, and its continued use may cause
an epidemic of sickness.
True, work is being pushed as fast
as possible on repairs necessary be-
fore water can be caught in the res
ervoir that was destroyed by the big
rainstorm, but when repaired there
will be no water to catch, unless the
rains come. There is a small stream
of water flowing where the reservoir
was located, but it is a feeble one,
and if caught in a reservoir evapora-
ton, it is estimated, would be greater
than the flow. Without rains there
can be no relif from that source
At the council meeting last night
Alderman Caldwell suggested deep
wells, as a solution. And it would be
the only solution in case of a drouth
such as this section sometimes has
1t is the opinion of many that it
would have been far wiser to have
expended the subscription taken in
drilling wells, instead eff red az
the DAM
An experienced we'll driller esti-
mates that adequate wells can be
drilled at from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
and that they could be put down in a
few days.
At last nights council meeting this
matter was discussed, and the water
and light committee will take the
matter up with the receiver of the
water company, and with the court,
with a view to obtaining relief from
a very serious situation.

The boys must present concrete eK-
hibition of skilled handiwork. The
girl must be dressed in gown of her
own making. When the United States
reaches it's estate of full grown man.
hood, and it has the 3S5 100000 peo-
pie predicted for the end of the cen
fury, there will be new responsible
ties for the community, new burdens
on the individual. The broadened
sphere of national activity will de-
mand a higher standard of citizen
ship. Every man will be expected to
do his part toward eXalting the life of
the nation. 1t is fortunate that the
tendencies of the educational forces
in the country are such as to produce
just that kind of a nation and that
kind of citizens"
The need for technical education
and its advantages cannot be eXag-
gerated. Our boys and girls should
learn to do what it will pay them to
have learned when they begin to fight
the battle of life Let us have them
taught what will help them help them
selves, and so help the nation.-Hous-
ton Chronicle.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1908-06-19
IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAL ED.
UCATION.

A problem which parents would do
well to think of during the vacation
eason is that of education What
shall we do with our boys and girls?
The tendency of the times is for
technical education. The practical is
he order of the day. Boys and girls
Ire coming more and more to be
trained to answer the question which
he world asks of every man and wo-
nan who has living to make, What
an you do?"
Of course the time will never come
when accomplishments will be under
valued and liberal education consid-
cred of no worth. Civilization and
culture with progressive races move
forward and not backward. The class
les, music, art, and all that instructs
.levates and broadens the spirit of
nan, are, and will remain of inesti-
nable value. But what the present

The state democratic executive COM
mittee, in session Monday, decided
to submit the prohibition question to
a vote of the people in the July pri-
mary, and it is up to the people of
the state to say whether or not they

legislature will be called on to state
his position on this question.
