TO be opportune TO consider some plan

schools. What greater thing could be
done for the city than to give all the
children a good water supply without
danger of disease germs? The pubic
drinking cup has been abolished by
law in a number of states and the SUI
perintendent of the Bryan schools De-
Iieyes that the city schools should set
the pace for this section in this re-

the progress exhibit made by the

there is no more entertaining and in
structive lesson in Texas progress
than that of a pack pony of the 'fos

There are many other interesting
forms of comparing our progress that

cd of exhibit. For example, during the
period above mentioned the assessed
value OF Texas farm lands increased
1927 900 900 and the assessed value OF
all property $2,21S,O00, 900, largely due
to the advent of the iron horse. No
fair association can fulfill its mission
without progress exhibit.

Now that the textile factories and

idea to consider carefully the wis
dom and advlsabllity of restoring
this department to our penitentiary
system The question Of working
convlcts on the states public high
ways is pressing closer and closer
about us. To be sure, the employ
ment OF convicts in state controlled
industries where prices can be so
regulated so as not to unfairly COM
pete with free made products, is
perhaps the least Objectionable form
of employing convlcts at a profit
The system OF leasing convcts to
employers is the most Objectionable
form OF convict labor. The convicts
are thus brought I'm direct competit-
ion with free labor and the products
Of their labor are again brought in
to competition with the products OF
free labor. The wage paid to the
state for convict labor is very low
and therefore makes convict labor
attractive to employers and affords
