With an appropriate program. the
commencement exercises of the
Brownsville high school were brought
to close last night. The large audi
torium of the school building was
most appropriately and tastefulIy
decorated with palms and cut flowers
while over the proscenium of the
stage were draped an American and a
Mexican flag. The program rendered
last night was exceptionally good.
Among those who deserve especial
mention should be named the fol-
lowing little boys of the fourth
grade: James Kilgore, Leon Hinkley,
Raoul valliar. Golfer Timpson, Car
los Castinado, Francis Kowalski,
Burt Hinkley Jr., Douglass Sebree
and Tom Lastinger, all of whom COW
cred themselves with laureis.. The
song "On the River, sung by these
little fellows which was a rather diff
f1cult one, was exceptionally well rem
dered, bringing forth repeated ap-
plause from the audience. Frog
Hollow Country School" also given
by the little fellows, completely cap
tivated the audience.
The graduation essay by Simon
Garcia, whose inspiring subject was
Alexander the Great showed
thoughtful preparation and reflected
credit upon the young man and his
teachers.
ALI of those taking part in the ex-
ercises last night did very well indeed
and did space permit deserve special

in which they carried out their parts

BROWNS VILE WOMEN
SHOULD HELP.

Everywhsre in these days of mod
ern development, the women of the
various cities and towns of the coun-
try are doing a noble and efficient part
towards the work of civic improve
ment. Everywhere, did The Herald
say? Well. not quite everywhere. In
Brownsville, it must be admitted,
there is so far no evidence that the
women are aware that any part of
the duty of improving and beautify-
ing the city devolves upon them The
Herald feels sure that it is not far
lack of energy on their part, not that
the women of this town would not
take a great pride in doing anything
in their power to promote its well
fare. The lack of any such move on
their part is due perhaps to the fact
that each one is waiting for someone
else to take the lead, or perhaps that
they have not really thought of the
matter But, now that the men who
are in charge of the sewerage matter
have appealed directly to the ladies
of Brownsville, askingtheir assistance
in getting this vitality important i'm
provement installed, The Herald does
not doubt that the appeal will result
in bringing forth such a hearty re-
Spouse as will go long way towards |
assuring the speedy accomplishment |
of this work. 1t is hardly necessary !
for them to be reminded that this is J
their duty. They will see this at a !,
glance Women usually have more
leisure time than men, whose time
and attention are often SO engrossed
by business as to prevent them from
to such matters as this in
the way that their Importance de-
mands Therefore, the men have ap-
pealed to the women of Brownsville
to come to their assistance. The Her
aid feels sure that the appeal will
not be in vain 1t is only right that
the women should do their part, and
they will

When Brownsville gets her inter-
national bridge, good streets and
walks and last, but by no means
least, a proper sewerage system, she
will have some small right to put
herself in Corpus Christi's class. But
until she does these things. she must
not expect the Seaside City to recog-
nize her claims to citified equality

Oh splash Where are Corpus
Christi's good sidewalks. and proper

clean up her water front, get her
streets properly lighted. exterminate
her mosquitoes, make herself gener-
ally habitable and. above all things,
get baseball team, before she can
expect to be on speaking terms with

At this point, the president of the
school board of trustees, Dr. S. H.
Bell, was introduced to the audience
and presented diploma to the one
graduate of this year. Simon Garcia.
A few well chosen words were ad-
dressed by Dr. Bell to the young
man, congratulating him upon his
achievement in successfully com
! pleting the difficult course of study
necessary to secure a high school
diploma under the Texas laws. and
wishing that he might persevere as
industriously in whatever undertake
ings he may attempt in after life.
Following the presentation Of the
diploma. DR.. Bell spoke to the audi
ence on the subject of the public
schools of Brownsville which he said
should be the pride of our people and
should enlist their support. The fact
that this city has one of the largest
and finest public school buildings in
the state, accommodating upwards of
a thousand pupils and employing
over twenty teachers. with a nine
months session each year. was spO-
ken Of The growing population of
Brownsville. however, DR.. Bell con-
tinued, will make it necessary for the
city either to enlarge the presentbuild-
ing or to erect another. Already the
number of pupils is growing SO large
as to crowd the school, when there
is full attendance
The city of Brownsville. Dr. Bell
pointed out. is perhaps the only town
of its size in the state that has no
school tax. In order, to erect a suit
able building for the high school /
grades. which DR.. Bell asserted will I
be necessary at some time in the near
future, the town will have to vote a
tax. The subject should be considered /
and the way prepared to equip the
town with public school facilities that 4
would be adequate to the growing
needs of the town.
The exercises closed with the beau (
tiful "Old Glory" drill by the high /
school girls, in which the famous old /
natioI1al song THE Star Spangled /!
Banner" was most effectively intro /
duced.
