What TEXAS HAS Done FOR
AGRICULTURE THROUGH
ITS SCHOOLS.

Texas is another of the States
/ that has made grand and success
Iful fight for the education of it's
youth in a manner that will equip
! them for the practical work of life.
Texas is different from all other
States of the Union and like Hawaii,
| in one particular. The big State, I'M
like her sisters, came into the nation
a republic, in fact an empire in size.
Unlike the other States, Texas re-
tanned for her own the public lands
within her borders; she did not cede
them to the nation
| AS result, Texas has today a COM
mon school fund, lowered with allot-
ments of her public lands, that ex-
ceeds $60,000,000. Out of that school
fund each year each county receives
flor each of it's children of school age
1925. The annual allotment for each
child grows larger every year, as the
permanent school fund increases. The
fund increases in three ways, chiefly:
First, the sale of school lands; Sec
ond, the rental of lands; third, the
interest on municipal, school and i'm
provement district bonds bought and
held by the fund. OF these bonds the
funds average holdings totals about
1921 100000
This enormous permanent school
fund, with the annual allotment OF SIS
to Sc per child of school age, has
been both a blessing and a handicap
to public education in Texas 1t has
been, in too many rural districts, the
sole support of country schools Re-
Lying upon the allotment from the
Estates big fund, too many rural school
trustees have neglected to call for a
local school tax levy. Consequences
Short school terms, poorly built and
Equipped schoolhouses, immature and
inefficient teachers.
Education waits on wealth. Texas
lis growing rich. Hence Texas Is now
experiencing an intense new interest
In education.
Recent constitutional amendments
Rave made it possible for rural school
districts to levy taxes, for school pur-
poses, sufficient to provide good
schools and efficient teachers, and
these are being provided There is a
constant and rising flood of district
school bond issues sent up to Austin,
the State capital, for the approval of
the Encouragement. Likewise, and
of the same significance, food of
road bond issues, of irrigation and
drainage bond issues. Texas has
learned at last that the vast prairies
which very recently she thought were
.worthless-so nearly worthless that
she could afford to allot 20. acres to.
