MAKE SCHOOL
PERMANENT
Plans Started BY Chamber Of
Commerce Meeting for Next
Years Normal

Significant facts about an enter
prise which has brought big returns
IN many ways this year and which Is
rich in promise for following years
were brought out in the meeting in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
yesterday afternoon in the interests
Of a permanent summer normal and
chautauQua for Amarillo, and and as
a result of the meeting, committees
Of citizens were appointed to begin
work for next years school AS the
statements of the members of the
faculty OF the summer school and Of
other interested citizens showed, the
amount Of outlay necessary for the
enterprise is surprisingly small COM
pared with the success of the school
as a permanent institution which will
come with the cooperation OF citi-
gems here in the arrangements for It.
Cleburne Man Talks.
After the meeting had been called
TO order by i. A. Wells and Mayor
Mars had been made chairman and
Superintendent C. C. Foster, secre-
tary, members of the faculty of the
school were called upon for state
ment OF the possibilities and needs
OF the enterprise. r, G.. Hall, who
is superintendent of the schools of
Cleburne, developed the value and
Importance OF summer normals and
showed that the present state policy
of consolidating normals into a small
er number OF schools with able fac
ulties was having the effect OF max.
Ing the good normals much stronger
and was giving them a prestige
which made them more valuable in
stituions to the cities in which they
were located. He emphasized the
importance of fixing upon plan now
for the normal next year and of let
ting the rest of the state know that
a summer school would be here and
that suitable provisions would DO
made for students.
Normal With 700 Students.
Citing the instance Of the normal
at Commerce which, by the securing
Of low rates for board and the estab-
llshment of strong faculty. has
built up an enrolment OF over ZOO
this year, Superintendent j. C. Pyle
OF Sherman, urged the necessity of
making provision here for students
and visitors at the summer school at
rates which would enable them to
live economically.
The climate here which enables
students to do work which would
impossible in any other section OF
Texas in the summer was dwelt upon
by r. c. Panthermuehl of Dallas,
who asserted that the advantages
here, because teachers and students
from other parts of Texas could do
the work they wished and could at
the same time be benefited in health
would make the school a certain sue
cess If the other conditions were
supplied
Money Returns Considerable.
Talks along the same lines were

Fredercks, and other citizens Of
Amarillo Figures on tue practical
value which the presence Of students
here brings to the town was given
in the fact that the present school
has about ninety students from other
sections Of Texas each OF whom spend
not less than from SIS to 500 each
during the term, or total this sum
mer OF not less than $4,000. with
from 900 to 500 students, which all
agreed could be brought here next
year If satisfactory boarding accom-
modations were insured, the return
to the city would be from S3O,UUO
to $4,000 To get this, 1t would
only be necessary TO provide some
big summer dormitory and boarding
cottages which would bring the cost
Of rooms 10 a minimum and to leas-
ing to competent parties the privil-
eye OF boarding at reasonable rates.
This year the lack Of organized pro-
vision for the students has obliged
those in attendance to get private
boarding places at rates which Of
course, greatly exceed those that
would be possible under the organ
lied plan outlined above.
Faculty Has Given Work.
This year, as the members OF the
faculty present stated, the teachers
nave made much less than they have
been making in the Baylor Univer-
sity, the Denton, and the state Uni
versty summer schools where they
have been engaged before this, but
they did not expect to make as much
here this year, and their work has
been given with the intention Of
building up the school The faculty
of the present school is exceptionally
strong and II can be continued on
the basis started by this session.
Since the school has not yet asked
Tor bonus Of any kind from tho
citizens and the members Of the fac
ulty from other points have been at
much greater expense. the citizens
present voted TO raise bonus OF
$500 for the faculty of tho school
this summer and the following COM
