This Worlds Illusions.

This world Is all fleeing show
For mans illusion given
The smiles Of JOY, the tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow.
There's nothing true but heaven.
And false the light on glory's plume
AS fading hues Of even,
And love and hope and beauty's bloom
Are blossoms gathered for the tomb.
There's nothing bright but heaven.
Poor wanderers of a stormy day,
From wave to wave we're driven,
And fancy's fash and reasons ray
Serve but to light the troubled way.
There's nothing calm but heaven.

his report is result of close and
searching investigation into affairs
educational.
In table submitted by DR.. Brooks,
it is shown that the percentage OF
school population enrolled in school
in Texas is 65.46 per cent, as COM
pared with an average in other states
of 70 per cent. Comparing Texas with
California, which is one of the most
advanced states in the Union in the
matter of education, he shows that
our expenditure per capita of average
attendance is $3.50, while that of
California is S59.O1. The expenditure
per capita of the entire population in
Texas is S2.71, compared with $7,05 in
California.
DR.. Brooks sounds a note of warn
ing to the people against political
control of our institutions of learning
and pleads for more liberal support
of all our schools and colleges.

Opening o. New DcrmItory Relieves
Congestion In Other Over
crowded Buildings.

Harvey Mitchell Hall, the new dor
mitory at A. and M. College, was oc-
cupied by the cadets for the first time
Tuesday. The opening of this build
ing relieves the congestion Of the
other halls, some of which have had
three students in a room since school
began.
The building is a four-story fire.
proof brick structure, containing
eighty-six rooms, and erected at a
cost of 100000 Four massive arti-
fetal stone columns at the front and
the rear entrance and the brick work
varied with artificial stone make the
structure one of the most attractive
on the campus. Separate steel stair
: ways lead to each floor from the
front entrances. All partitions are
7iade of terra-cotta tile and plastered
I 9th a sand-lime finish. An interior
court makes all the rooms outside
rooms. Shower baths are located on
each floor, and the rooms are provided
with lavatories, steam heat, and cleo
trio lights.
The building was designed by Prof.
F. e. Giesecke and was erected by
the Texas Building Company. The
cornerstone bears on one side the
name of President Miner and the
names of the directors of the college,
and on the other side the following
inscription: Harvey Mitchell Hall.
This stone was laid June 8, 1912, by
