this great position.
lAt least in my opinion.
For Mrs. Young has come out with
the statement that the building up OF

Mrs. Young, that IT is more tmpors

as possible, than II is to devote So

was visiting a woman recently
who has a daughter fifteen years old
In tile last year Of high school. She
brought out the girls report card to
show to me. It was almost all AS
with a wee sprlnkllng OF BIS. She
was evidently very proud Of this card
Myself ] think she should have been
ashamed OF II. For the girl is a puny,
undeyeloped, understood, stoopshoul'
dered, colorless little caricature Of q
girl. And the report card Was the
symbol OF the reason Of dlPfRIs.' 4
II almost mikeS me wattt to cry
when | see mothers and fathers al
lowing and even encouraging their
children to sell gold for dross in this
way.
How can they be so blind or cruel?
Iscit success you want for your
daughters, Oll$motbers? b
Then know that brilliant report
cards, anxtously studied lessons will
not do one tenth as much to bring It
to- them as normal, healthy bodies and
asTeserye OF strength,
-s.Is It happiness you, want for your
daughters, oh mothers?
sThen know that lothinsrsan do SO
much to bring It to them as a healthy
attractive body--the beauty OF health
and sanity and power OF it,
know two girls who have always
given more thought to mental, than to
physical development, and who have
been brilliantly successful in school
and college. These girls have mar
ried recently. Under the strain OF
married life, which should not he any
strain to the normal woman, one girl
has broken down so that she has had
to give UP her pretty little home and
go to boarding, and another has be-
come so nervous and unliyable that
the patience OF pretty good man has
been tried to the breaking point, and
a disruption Of the marriage is actual
" threatened.
Oh mothers. please don't take this
as the mere mechanical ranting of
a newspaper writer. It's much more
than that. It's the heartfelt word of
one who knows.
Please believe me and save your
daughters from the Inefficient, unsat'
isfactpry lives, for which they may
be preparing by their folly
No matter what the teachers may
say, don't allow your girls, especially

STATEMENT OF BRYAN
TELEPHONE COMPANY
70 Orr Patrons and the Public:

To Our Patrons and the Public:
Referring to the communication in
yesterdays Eagle, the Bryan Tele.
phone Company desires to say that an
unavoidable delay of several months
in making the Improvements now in
progress, costing approximately $4,000,
leading up to an entirely new central
office equipment, which will require
an expenditure of several thousand
dollars additional, will, we feel sure,
result in restoring the service which
so long characterized our exchange
and pleased our subscribers.
We do not shirk criticism; but must
say, in justice to our company, that
any public service corporation that has
satisfied hundreds of patrons for fif'
teen years, at prices saving them thou
sands of dollars as compared with
customary rates, and escaped bank
ruptcy, deserves at least the patience,
goodwill and loyal support of the
public. Yours very truly,
THE BRYAN TELEPHONE co.

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle
l have just read and reread in the
columns of your paper an order of the
commissioners court for an election
to be held on the Sth day of February,
1912, to determine whether the county
shall issue bonds to the amount of
100000 for the purpose Of construct
ing, maintaining or operating macad.

in aid thereof; also Judge Board S
comment and T. w. Boards article on
the same, and I can not refrain from
saying something. l am opposed to the
issuance of such bonds, but not in the
way Mr.. Beard intimates. While
think it is generally agreed that the
road from Bryan to A. & M. College,
also a mile or two out on all the other
important roads, will be macadamized,
oppose such measure, as | see it
from an economical, business stand

Mr.. Shuster made brave fight for
a square deal for Persia against the
giant robbers, Russia and England, but
the contest was too unequal. That he
won the respect of those whose pred
atory methods he exposed is attested
by the courtesies shown him by the
Russian officials and even more strong
ly by the fact that the Novoe Vremya
suggests him as American minister to
Teheran. Honesty and courage never
fail to receive honor though they do
not always win success.

The Houston Post says: "A man
travelled nine thousand miles from Rio
de Janeiro to Denver to marry. 1t
wasn't foot too far If the right kind
OF calico was waiting at the matri-
monial terminus" A Bryan girl is
packing her trunks for matrimonial
journey from Bryan to Rio de Janeiro,
via England. Isn't such pluck and the
fact that she is Bryan girl evidence
enough that she is the right kind Of
calico?

The open letter of Mr.. John w.

the measure to get busy Let's have
free discussion and plenty Of it. The

courtesies must be observed.

The Temple Telegram attributes the
healthfulness of that city to its alti-
