or the council and the city is Ifow in a
position to take some immediate ac-
ton to start the work on the sewer.
For a time it looked as if there might
be another long delay as Alderman
Pifsch suggested that it might be pos
sible for the city to sell bonds bearing
four and half per cent interest in
stead OF five per cent as provided for
In the ordinance passed two weeks ago.
This was getting on dangerous ground
as change in the interest rate would
have made necessary the passage of a
new ordinance and this would have
thrown the matter into the hands Of
the new council
The resolution as passed, however,
provides that the bonds may be auc-
toned after the sealed bids have been
received and it is thought that with
this provision the bonds win bring
premium enough to make up for any ex-
cess in interest and that this added
money will be available at once for
use III starting the big sewer.
The ordinance providing for the es-
tabllshing of new sewer district
which is to include all territory out of
the present district and all that may
be annexed to the city later was given
its first reading. Tt will take its us
uai course and be passed before the
present council retires from Office.
One petition for annexation was pre-
scented to the council last night and it
provided for bringing into the city a
large amount of territory of what is
now known as the Island RIDGE The
petition was referred to the committee
on streets and alleys and it will take
the usual course. If the property is
annexed to the city it needs about four
months to complete the technical work
OF annexation. This, however, will
bring the territory into the city before
the opening of new term of school
and this is what is mostly sought by
the property owners interested.

STIRRING APPEAL 10
AMBITIOUS YOUNG MEN
Colonel Miner Calls on Them to Pre-
pare Themselves to Fill Honor
able and Profitable Stations
Waiting for Them.

IF | had a voice that could reach
the ears of the young men who are
being graduated from our high schools
| would urge them to take advantage
of what the state is offering them in
the way of preparation for a higher
sphere of usefulness says Col k. I.
Miner, president Of A. & NJ. college.
Colonel Miner was moved to make
this remark by reason Of the many
applications that are coming to him
from every. section Of the country for
young men to engage in agriculture
For more than fifty years he has been
a resident of this state, and from the
time he reached mature years he has
been a student of conditions in the
state.
Colonel Miner says: 81 think have
said before that there was never
time when there was so great de
mand for young men trained in agrl
culture. If | said it last year and yea
before last, and the year before that
it was true each time. The demand

charge of experiment stations; large
landed interests want them to take
charge Of their holdings 50 as to prove

the railroad corporations want them
to establish experiment farms along
their roads; they are wanted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture at Washington; they are wanted
at hundreds of schools where the
study of agriculture is being installed;
they are wanted on large and small
private ranches to improve and take
care Of stock; they are wanted to
travel along the different railroad
lines for the purpose of stimulating
! improved methods of farming, to show
the farmers what fertilizers to use and
how to apply them. In fact, they are
wanted wherever science will advance
the great business of agriculture. The
salaries range all the way from $1,000
to $4,000. according to efficiency, en-
ergy, ability and experience.
Just why our bright young men are
overlooking these opportunities it is
hard to understand. | can attribute /

IF had a voice that could reach
the ears of the ambitious, bright young
men of Texas, who are being grad
uated from our high schools, | would
urge them to take advantage of what
the state is Offering them in the way
of preparation for a higher sphere Of
usefulness. | would say to them that
it is wiser to spend few years in
preparation which will secure good
pay and at the same time fit them
for a happier life and wider field of
usefulness than to accept any little
clerkship or other cheap position for
which there is so great a scramble in
the towns and cities"
Colonel Miner does not talk in this
wise merely to increase the student
body of A. e NJ. college. The college
lis a free school; it is part of the
public school system of the state, and
an important part. At A. & NJ. college
tuition is free; there is no expense
except the actual expenses of living;
the state and the federal government
foot the bills for the education, so 1t
is no more necessary to advertise for
students" than the high schools in any
city in Texas would advertise, but
feeling a strong personal interest in
the young men of the state, Colonel
Miner wants to see as many as pos
sbly can take advantage of the oppor
tunities that are provided.

HUMBUGGERY IN THE SCHOOLS
AND ELSEWHERE.

A principal of one of the Bryan pri-
vate schools takes exception to these
two sentences in an Eagle paragraph;
Cut the humbuggery out OF the pub
lie schools. Let those who want 1t go
to the private schools and pay for IT,.
Our friend, the professor, taxes TINS
as a reflection on the private schools
of BRYAN. II he had noted the IN
vulnerable boquets which The Eagle
has presented to the private SCHOOLS
of Bryan (of which his school has re-
ceived its full share) as carefully as
he did this paragraph, he would nave
known that no disparagement OF these
schools was intended. A good many
Bryan people send their children to
schools elsewhere, some OF when
teach little else than humbuggery, and
these were uppermost in the mind OF
the editor when the words were
penEed
But The Eagle is not much OF
latterer and will not say that the prl-
vate schools of Bryan are free from
humburrgy, and that it exists in the
public schools is plainly implied IN
the words quoted. This is true of all
schools everywhere, the only eXcep-
ton being a select school taught by
an illustrious Galilean nearly two
thousand years ago.
The Eagle demands that humbug-
gerry be cut out of the public schools
because they are the property OF an
the people and should be conducted
exclusively for the benefit of the peo-
ple. Under existing conditions, prl-
yate schools have a right to practice
humbuggery while their patrons want
it and are willing to pay for It.
The fact is, as The Eagle has here
tofore remarked there is more num-
buggery in education than in anything
else except religion. The reason Is
plain; education is, excepting religion
the best thing in all the world, hence
II is. always excepting religion, the
most counterfeited.
Now, possibly some of the preachers
will take this as reflection on the
churches of Bryan and will rip us ur
the back for it. They certainly nave
as good a right to do so as has oui
friend. the professor Neither the
churches nor the schools of Bryan VII
suffer by comparison with those any
where else within our knowledge.
The lamentable truth is that nam
buggery is so universal that we al
practice it, either consciously or un
consciously. The world demands 1t
and It seems impossible to live with
out it, Suppose, for instance, teacher
should attempt to conduct school las
Jesus did," telling the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, with nc
evasion or mental reservation, anC
acting always with perfect sincerity
and candor how long would his jot
last? And the same may be said OF
a preacher or any other man, includ
ing the editor. Humbuggery is an
ugly word, and because it is so we
invent for it more euphonious names
such a ) policy civilty, etc. These and
similar terms form a thin veneer to
hide its deformity, but the hideous
thing is revealed by little scratch.
Is there no hope of deliverance from
the body of this death? Yes; true
education and true religion, such as
the Master taught. There is no hum
buggery in the Sermon on the Mount

Wien the editor of The Eagle was
young and inexperienced he hoped TO
live to see the end of the prohibition
agitation, but this hope is apparently
no nearer realization than it was tlity
years ago. All we expect now is a
season of rest after the election on
July %, and maybe We won't live to
see the next agitation.

The Texas Commercial Secretaries
and Business Mems Association has
compiled information showing the
number of persons from other states
making inquiry about Texas through
that organization and finds that dur
ing the past six months more IMAM five
hundred letters have been received
from parties desiring to locate in this
state. OF this number perhaps the
largest amount come from the middle
states, Illinois heading the list in the
number of inquiries sent into the as
ISOLATION. The large gain in popula-
ton which Texas has experienced dur
ing the past decade is due largely to
the activity of commercial organiza-
tons in encouraging immigration from
other states. 1t is estimated by the
commercial secretaries that We have
net gain in population of nine per
sons per hour, or 1926 per annum.

The South Texas gardens, located
at Brownsville, are doing a wonder
full amount of good for that section OF
the state, and the experiments made
at this station have greatly increased
the agricultural production in the gulf
coast country. The latest experiment
of the gardens is the culture of the
silk worm. and the result is said to
be in every way satisfactory. There
are hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of silk imported into the United
States every year, and the promotion
of this industry opens vista of great
possibilities 10 the Brownsville coun-

That the work Of the Commercial

gether in vain is demonstrated by
communication received at the head
quarters of the association from Will

that he has been reading the litera-
ture OF the association and is partic-
ularly impressed with the statement
that Texas needs a thousand cities,
and asks that the association put him
down for one of them. Mr.. Arthur is
a town builder of national reputation,
and has been operating on the Pacific
coast, but he has investigated condi-
tons in Texas, and is astonished at
the possibilities, and will begin opera
tons in this state early this fall.

eighteen feet beam and eight feet
