many by half as we shall be com
PEELED to care for. The price
for rooms ranged from $500 to
$1,000 per month, furnished and
cared for. The price of board
and lodging ranged from $1,000
to $1,000 per month. The com
mittee found a few good places
for $1,000 per month or less.
The prevailing price is $500 to
$1,000 per month. The prices of
rooms here are about as high as
they are in cities. The best
rooms in Austin, for instance,
near the University with bath
and toilet included, the rooms
kept and everything furnished,
cost $1,000 per month.
In the other normal school
towns, board and lodging for
students ranges from $14.00 to
$500 per month. The prevail
ing price is $1,000 per month.
In Abilene, a college town, stu.
dents are boarded and lodged
for S14.50 per month. In Steph-
enville, the price is S14.00 to
$500, while in their dormitory,
students are boarded for $500
per month. In Hereford, | am
informed, students board at
$1,000 per month. In Goodnight
a neighboring college town, the
students are boarded at S12.50
including lodging. At Clarendon,
students are boarded at Sl5.2o
per month in the dormitories
and in town. The president of
Clarendon College told the writ
er that he had more places in
the town that were willing to
take students at S15.25 per
month, than he could fill.
AN ERROR.
It's not fact that it costs
more to live on the Plains and in
Canyon than it costs to live else
where now. 1t costs more to
live anywhere now than it did a
few years ago. But staple gro
ceries and all necessaries cost
about the same any where in the
country. For instance the price
OF meat, flour, coffee, sugar, lard
etc, ETC., are about the same in
all towns having railroad facili'
ties. If people in given town
in any section of the state can
live or take boarders at certain
price, the same sort of board
can be furnished by the same
sort of people anywhere else in
that section of the state, for the
same price. The writer knows
from experience that it costs
less to live in Canyon than i,
does in some places in middle
Texas.

NO FURTHER SACRIFICE NEEDED,
The people of Canyon have
made great sacrifices to OBTAIN
the location of the normal school
And nobody will be called on tC
make further sacrifices but good
board at reasonable rates is alb
solutely necessary now.
DOMESTIC SERVANTS.

ing, cleaning, washing and scub'
bing that must be done. Who
will do this work? The problem
is of easy solution where the
people are ready and willing tC
admit the truth and act upon il
as people have dene in other
communities situated as ours is
LARGE ATTENDANCE SURE.
That we shall have large at
tendance here is sure-as soon
as we are sure that we can care
for such an attendance.
The school may not be largely
attended the first year. There
is still question in the minds
of many as to whether we shall
have a working session this
fall. Others prefer to wait
until the school is well on its
feet. But in the course of few
years we shall have "a great at
tendance, winter and summer,
the year round. We shall have
great house, well equipped and
faculty of specially strong men
and women, but it takes more
than these to make strong
school. The town itself must
grow to be a good school town
with plenty of accommodations
of all grades.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
So far as we can now Judge
the building will be ready and
the furniture in place to begin
work on time. Indications point
to a large attendance. We shall
do good work from the first day
And Canyon is destined to be
come a great school town
known throughout the country
as such. Respectfully,
r. B. Cousins.
