Thanksgiving on the subject
Higher Education" g."
The speaker is thoroughly
conversant with his subject and
in his mastery effort proved be-
yond question that the founding
of colleges on the plains was a
more potent factor for intellect
ual and industrial development
than the construction of rail
roads and the establishment of
factories.
He pointed with pride to the
location of the State Normal at
Canyon showing that it attracted
the highest and best citizenship
and eliminated the undesirable.
Criminal statistics of the United
States and Germany were
strictly compared and the low
percentage of crime in Germany
was attributed to the education
and intelligence of her citizen
ship.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 6, 1909
Mr.. l.. E. Cowling,
Canyon City, Texas.
Dear Sir:
All public business proceeds
with exaspera ting slowness. !
have pushed with all possible
strength in this normal school
matter since the law became eff
fective last June. The Board
has finally selected architects
and they are now at work on the
details of our new building. 1t
affords me very great pleasure
to say that, in my Judgment, the
architects selected are men of
the very highest training and
experience in the kind of work
which we have in hand. | am
entirely confident that we shall
have school house which is
thoroughly modern in every
particular, and which shall eX-
hibit in it's construction the very
best that has been developed
and proved in school architect
ure. Within week or ten days,
| feel sure, we will be ready to
invite the contractors to make
their figures. | am hoping that
the contractor will be ready and
the work begun by the first day
of January; but, whatever may
happen, | am determined that
our school shall open the first
week of next Septem ber. |
shall insist that the contractors
be put under bond to finish the
house by the first day of Sep
mber, 1910, and that the date
for the opening of the school be
fixed not later than the 18th day
of next September. If the
State Board of Education will
cooperate with me in these mat
ters, the school will open during
the first part of the month of
September without fail. If it
should so happen that the build
ing can not be made ready for
occupancy by that time, with
the consent and cooperation of
the good people of Canyon City
and Randall County, the school
will open, if necessary, in the
court house, the city churches,
under a tent, or elsewhere on
the date fixed. SO far as | am
concerned there shall be no com
promise or condition concerning
the opening of the school. At
the earliest possible moment |
will send you a drawing of our
building.
Anticipating great pleasure in
being associated with you in this
great enterprise, | am,
Yours sincerely,
r. B. Cousins.

CHlCAG0 SHOW.
Canyon City Stock Makes Splendid Showing
in the Great Display
Of Cattle.

Chicago, Dec. 3. 3.-Cattlemen
at the international Live Stock
show had their innings today
when the judges announced
their decision on car load lots of
grain fed and feeding cattle.
There was much rivalry between
the adherents of Shorthorns,
Herefords and Angus breeders,
and the ShorthOrn breeders
were jubilant when the judges
awarded the grand champion
ship to bunch of Shorthorns.
These cattle were owned by an
Illinois farmer. A. A. Neale of
Colorado was the winner of the
grand championship of the feed
er cattle show, with load of
red calves.
The prize shorthorns won
nearly $1,000 in prizes for their
owners, Keays and Ormsby.
This includes a $1,000 special
premium offered by the Short
horn Breeders association.
Texas proved her ability to
produce cattle of championship
caliber, despite the handicap of
unfavorable conditions, when
the Herefords of John Hutson of
Canyon City took three prizes in
the Hereford classes. Burke
Burnett of Fort Worth took first
honOrs with car load of Here
fords in the two year old class.
Another car load of the same lot
took fourth prize in the contest.
In the Hereford special car load
class, Mr.. Burnett's entry took
first place among two year olds.
Two Texans who also came in
for prizes in the feeding cattle
awards, when l.. Roth of Mid
land took second, third and
fourth honors with lot of An
gus calves, and Il. f. Hughes of
Odessa was given fifth in this
class.
John Hutson of Canyon City
was well pleased with the show
ing made by the Texas cattle
under such adverse conditions.
Mr.. Hutson's outdoor herd,'f
which furnished the cattle be-
ing shown by him, is well known
throughout the Southwest as
being one of the best of the
Hereford breed in the country.
The sale of Hereford cattle
under the direction of the
American Hereford Cattle
Breeders association, which
was held at the yards, was well
attended, and the Texas visitors
entered into the bidding. Mr..
Hutson added to his herd by
purchasing Watercress, a one
year old heifer. The price paid
was S210. Wallace Good of Bo-
vina also invested some money
at the sale, buying Orange Belle,
calved in 1908 for S155, and
Prime Lad, a one year old bull
for $40.

Panhandle Schools and West Texas Normal.
Interview with State Superintendent R. B. Cousins.

Vs D. OuuSIUSs
being the question of prepare.
tion by nature and training to
do the best work in the best
way.
L am particularly interested
in the Amarillo city schools for
the reason that every normal
school ought to have practice
department in which the young
teachers who are in training
may have the opportunity to OBJ
serve the best teaching and take
part in that work. The normal
school will have need of the Am
arillo city schools for observa-
tion. Our students in the nor
NAL will be required to observe
and to point out the strong
points and the weak points in
the teaching which they OBJ
serve. I shall hope that the re-
lations between the normal
school and the city schools of
Amarillo shall be such that the
students of the normal will have
access to the Amarillo city
] schools for the purpose of OBJ
serving and criticising the work.
With this in view, | hope that
the Amarillo city schools will be
such as to furnish us the best
models in supervision, organiza-
tion and school room instruction.
This work will be required as a
part of the regular work of the
normal school. 1t will not be
done occasionally and sporadi-
cally, but persistently and sys-
tematically. The necessity for
this will be seen when you par
allel the work of normal school
with that of training school for
physicians. 1t would indeed be
very poor sort of medical
college that would undertake to
do its work without clinics.
The young physician is expected
to know anatomy from having
dissected subjects. He is ex-
pected to know the ordinary dis
ease which he will treat from
having diagnosed the same dis
eases and prescribed for them
in the hospital attached to the
college in which he was a stu
dent. 1t is just as illogical to
have a normal school without |
special arrangements for this
work as it would be to have a
medical school without hos
pital and clinics, or to have law
school without moot courts and |
observation of the actual pro
ceedings in the courts of the |
country. Being situated in
Canyon City, | hope and believe
that the school authorities there
will cooperate with the college |
authorities in making such a
connection between the city
schools and the college as will be
helpful to both.
Il anticipate very great plea
sure in being associated with |
the people of the Plains in all our
common interests and great en-
terprises. | realize the great |
service which the newspapers
can render in an educational |
way, because | have felt their
strong influence during my ad-
miniStration of the affairs of this |
office. Daily Panhandle.

In capturing the West Texas
State Normal school Canyon
City, Amarillo and other towns
of the Panhandle will profit
greatly and this region will be.
come known as one of great in.
tiuence in the educational world
of the West. Matters regard.
ing this school are of such vital
interest to the people of the
Plains, that the Daily Panhandle
never overlooks an opportunity
to give news of men and affairs
in this connection. A mem Der
of the Daily Panhandle staff
spent the past week in Austin
and, while there, called on State
Superintendent of Education
r. B. Cousins, who is to be the
President of the state normal at
Canyon City, and during the in
terview President Cousins spoke
most interestingly of affairs of
the school. He said:
You may say to the good peo-
pie who read your paper that on
the first day of January | shall
take up my residence at Canyon
City and become a citizen of the
Plains country. 1t is my de-
sire to take part in everything
that tends toward the material
prosperity and the permanent
upbuilding of that great section
of our state. OF course, | shall
devote my time very largely to
the educational interests, but |
shall not be Indifferent to any
thing and everything that could
add to the health, wealth or
prosperity of the people. The
State Normal School will be To-
Gated at Canyon ,Ci+-s, but it is
my desire and fixed intention to
make its influence felt for good
in stimulating educational inter
est in every city on the Plains.
The people of Randall county
have contributed very generous
ly of their wealth to the estab-
lishment of a school of high or
der, and it is the very earnest
desire of the State Board of Ed
ucation and of myself to make
every dollar which they have
contributed or which the state
has contributed, to bring just
return. We shall proceed at
once vigorously to the building
of the houses necessary, but we
shall consider every step very
carefully so that when the work
is completed the people can take
a just pride in the work which
they have done. 1t is my desire
and my belief that every man
who has contributed a dollar
toward securing the location
shall live to see the day when he
will believe that the money con-
tributed to the building of this
school was the most profitable
investment that he ever made.
The money available for the
building of this school will en-
able us to construct a house
modern in every particular, use
full for the purpose intended and !
a thing of beauty. 1t is safe to
say that we shall have one of the |
best equipped normal school
plants in the entire South.
1 can say for the State Board |
of Education that it has not |
made a single mistake in man
or woman that it has added to
the faculty of a normal school !
since the beginning of this ad |
miniStratiOn. 1t is safe to say |
that it will proceed with the
same degree of intelligence in
the selection of the faculty for
the normal on the Plains that it
has exercised in the selection of
faculties of other normal schools.
There will be no dead timber in
the new school. and every man

SIXTY MAYORS UNITE
In Asking Governor Deneen for a Com
mission Form of Government,

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. LIN the name of
the larger cities of Illinois so mayors
ard special commissioners have de-
planded from Governor Deneen that
he request the special session of the
legislature to pass an enabling act for
the commission form of government for
cities.
Representative Frederick E. Erick-
son, a member of the Republican state
committee and chairman of the house
committee on municipal corporations
was personally attacked in unsparing
terms. He was charged by unanimous
vote of the conference with having will
fully killed the commission form of
government bill in Springfield last win
ter. The election of such men as Err
ickson to the Illinois legislature was
deplored as a travesty on Justice
Representative Illinois men who ap-
peared repeatedly in Springfield in the
session of the general assembly in the
interests of the enabling act and had
been turned down by Erickson, criti-
cised him without reserve or without
temper to their remarks. The entire
system of manufacturing Illinois stat
utes was handled without gloves by
several speakers. Senator John Daley
of Peoria told what he knew of the
state of affairs at the state capitol
when the general assembly is in ses-
sion.
Basing the treatment accorded by
Chairman Erickson and the municipal
corporation committee to the commits
sion bill as sufficient ground for execu-
tive action, the conference demanded
Of Governor Deneen that he include
the consideration of a similar measure
within the subjects to be enumerated
in his probable call for an extraordi-
nary session of the legislature
A formidable committee will present
the demands of the conference to Gov
ernor Deneen in Springfield next week,
Thursday possibly, provided the COVER
nor will grant a hearing. The organi-
zation of the conference was made per-
manent, and If Governor Deneen hears
the interviewing committee a strong
campaign will be made before the extra
session of the legislature in behalf of
the enabling bill.
