As To the benefits to be derived
from the location of such a school
a person need only consider the
welfare of the young people of
this section to know that we must
have the school. With the state
normal we would have better
teachers and with better teach
ers we would have more knowl-
edge among the school children
thus preparing them to rightly
battle with the varions problems
of life. 1t will upbuild the moral
tone of the Plains if such thing
be possible among the good peo-
pie who live in that section. 1t
will make the people of the entire
Plains take more interest in state
and local matters. 1t will en-
hance the value of real estate in
every county within two hundred
miles of such school for the
farming class of people are learn
ing that good educational facili-
ties are prerequisite for the
home builder.
The Plains are together on
this proposition as no other sec
ton of the state could hope to
be together for the reason
that the people of the Plains
country have been long enough
neglected by the state govern
ment and for further reason that
they desire to secure at least a
small return upon the amount
of school money annually paid
into the Golfers of the state school
fund. Altogether the state is
due the location to that portion
of the state which offers every
thing required by the terms of |
the law establishing the school |
together with the other advant. |
ages which only the Plains coun-
try has to offer.

ABOUT THREE MORE WEEKS.
Contractor States That New Court House Build
ing will be Ready for Delivery.

While in conversation with the
News reporter last Wednesday,
Mr. Gillcoat of the firm of Gill
coat and Skinner, contractors
for the new court house, stated
that he thought that the entire
building would be completed
ready for delivery to the county
officials within three weeks.
Work upon the finishing of the
first and second floors and the
placing of the Stairways is going
on rapidly and it is thought that
these matters can be finished
well within that time. The
third floor upon which is located
the court rooms of the building
is practically completed all the
work being done with the eX-
ception of the soairways leading
up to that floor.
The steam filters are working
hard on the installation of the
heating system, while the floor
workers are busy putting down
the floors in the rotunda of the
second floor. These compost
ton floors are very pretty, the
border being Of black while the
inside is of red composition, with
a notified effect which, com bined
with the walls and their colors
will make one of the most pleas
ing rOtundas to be found in any
court house in the state.
AS the work progresses those
who are interested in the build
ing and who have kept up with
the work, are more and more
pleased with it. Everyone who
sees the building is ready in
complimenting the county and
its citizens.on the acquisition of
such a pretentiOus building for
it's officials and its courts.

Texas, hereby petition your com
mittee, which has in charge the
location of the West Texas State
Normal School, provided for by
the recent legislature, to locate
said school at some town in what
is known as the Plains of Texas.
Among many reasons why the
school should be located on the
Plains we especially call your at
tention to the following:
l. 1t is the healthiest portion
of the State.
,. 1t is developing more rapid
ly than any other portion of the
State.
}. Modern an d up-to-d date
teachers are required more each
year on the Plains, and the State
Normal would give this section
of the state better opportunity
for the education of teachers
needed in this district.
I. This section is far removed
from any state school,
>, The great Plains country
has not a state institution of any
kind.
8. The Plains counties pay into
the state school fund far more
than they receive from the state.
I. The people of the Plains
country are progressive and be-
lieve in patronizing good schools. |

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
CLOSE FOR TERM.
HON. R. B. COUSINS Of AUSTIN PRINCIPAL
SPEAKER AT COMMENCEMENT.
Hon. +. Greeyer Of Miami Makes Interesting
Talk-eIeven Young People
are the Graduates.

After months of school work
the session for the past year has
come to close. The entertain.
mentS given for the commence
ment exercises were by far the
most interesting that has ever
been had in this city, this fact
being brought about by the fact
that the teachers and classes
had provided two good speakers
for the occasion. 1t had been
intended that the Hon. F.. 2.
Greever of Miami would deliver
an address at 1870 O'Clock last
Friday morning at the opera
house, but on account of a late
train Mr.. Greever did not arrive
until later in the day and Hon.
Il. B. Cousins, Superintendent
Of Public instruction for the
state, was induced to address
the assembled crowd which he
did, making one of the most in
teresting talks along the line of
practical education and its nee
essity that could be imagined.
In his speech Mr.. Cousins
reached the heart of the young
people particularly by his forci-
bic manner of address combined
with the logic and thought. He
clearly showed that his deep
interest was the controlling ele-
ment in his character, his inter
est being in the advancement of
the great state of Texas of which
state he is at the head of the
educational department 1t is
the reporters regret that he
could not take the speech in
short hand in order that the en-
tire population of the county and
the state might have the benefit
of the good thoughts brought
forth by him on this occasion.
When the time came for the
speaker to close for the noon
hour every person in the house
was 10th to have him stop.
At eight o'clock on Friday
evening at the opera house, Mr..
Greever made a short address
which was entertaining and very
instructive, his main topic being
that of Preparedness, get
ting ready for the work of life.
making the determination and
then sticking to it. He also paid
a glowing tribute to the young
people who were the honorees of
the occasion.
After Mr.. Greeyer nad finish
ed, Mr.. Cousins again consented
to address the large audience. a
portion of this address being of
a lighter vein than that of the
morning, putting his audience in
that happy frame of mind where
by they could readily accept and
retain the serious thoughts
brought forth by him later in
his argument for more and bet
ter schools and teachers. His
remarks were heartily endorsed
throughout the entire evening
IN a way that clearly showed
him that Canyon City was an en-
dOrser of his movement for
deeper education.
On Saturday evening the
graduating class rendered their
individual program, the house
being again filed to the over
flowing. The various numbers
were not tedious as so many of
such occasions prove, but each
proved to be so different from
5he other that every one of the
graduates were heartily cheered.
During the program various
numbers were inter
spersed. The following is list
Of the graduates and their topics
On this occasion.
Salutatory, Elzina Henson.

The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1909-05-28

The large number of petitions
sent out are now being returned
to this city and the response that
is being given the movement far
exceeds the expectations of the
sender. 1t clearly shows that
the people of the Plains and south
Plains country are a unit in the
sentiment that the Plains should
have and does deserve the loca-
tion of the new state school.
Relative to the petition there
can be no gainsaying of any one
statement contained in the rea-
sons set forth for the location of
the school in this high altitude.
Every reason set forth is valid
and a just one, and when the
many other good reasons for the
location are brought to the atten-
ton of the locating committee
there certainly cannot be any
thing else which would overcome
the necessity for such a school
in this country.
