WHY He GOES TO CHURCH

Washington, August 28-Some
members of Congress berome fam

this subject telling why he goes to

the article read on the floor of the

Improvements are constantly being
made on Main street. Buildings are
being enlarged by adding additional
stories; remodelings are frequent, in
Guiding new fronts and new awnings,
and the street is fast losing that old,
ragged, country-town appearance it
has had for so long. The Eagle has
for a long time advocated uniform
awnings, and we have no cause to be
discouraged. The changes are being

WHO WILL WIN
| THIS MEDAL?
A Gold Medal VIII Be Awarded for
Best Article on Repair and Main
tenance of Earth Roads.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair and
maintenance of earth roads, is to be
awarded by Logan Waller Page, direc-
tor office of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, d. C. All compositions must be
submitted to Mr.. Page before May 10,
1913, and the medal will be awarded
as soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded The composition may
be based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota
tions should be made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation of
the country, 1t is Mr.. Pages belief that
ignorance on the subject of repair and
maintenance of roads is as much the
cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about bet
ter understanding of the subject OF re-
pair and maintenance In the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadyan.
tages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper maintenance,
and 1t is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many chill
dren from obtaining proper educa-
ton, and have even prevented doctors
from reaching the side OF rural pa
tients in time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men.
toned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side OF the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age,
and address Of the writer, and the
name and location of the school which
he or she is attending must be plainly
written at the top of the first page.
The announcement of the competition
has been sent to the superintendent
OF schools in the rural districts. No
further information can be obtained
from the office of public roads. This
announcement should be plain to
everyone, and all children will thus
start on basis of equality.

AN OPEN LETTER To
SUPT. F. N. BRALLEY
Secretary Hewitt Asks for information
in Regard to Mr.. Bralley's Recent
Letter on Bond Amendment.

On last Sunday the large dailies of
the State contained an open letter
from Hon. F. M. Bradley, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, at
tempting to interpret, or rather to give
his Interpretation of one of the pro-
posed amendments TO be voted on by
the people of Texas in July. The
amendment referred to was the one
which would authorize the Legislature
to issue bonds for the State Univer-
sity, with which to purchase ground,
erect buildings, etc.
Secretary l.. NJ. Hewitt of the Bryan
Commercial Club has issued an open
letter to Mr.. Bradley asking for addi-
tional information on the matter, as
follows:
Bryan, Texas, April 80, 1913.
Hon. F. NJ. Bradley, Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Austin,
Texas.
Dear Sir-I have been very much
interested in the perusal of your open
letter regarding joint resolution No.
IS, proposing an amendment to sec
tons 40 and 50 of article of the
State Constitution, which the people
will vote upon at the special election
called by the Governor for July 10,
1918.
Il note that you have carefully eX-
amined the provisions of the resolu-
ton and | note that you say, in your
opinion, that there is no opportunity
for any interference with the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College of
Texas, should this amendment carry
at this election. / should like to ask
if you have the authority of the Gov
ernor or of President Mazes for say
ing that there will be no interference
with the A. and NJ. College but that it
will receive it's fair proportion of any
bonds issued that may be made.
Il am frank to say that from the
large number of influential and intelli-
gent citizens that / have either con-
suited with or heard from over the
State of Texas, the belief is prevalent
that the resolution is intended to mean
exactly what it says, viz:
1.-THE Legislature, however, shall
have power to authorize the issuance
OF bonds, to be approved by the Gov
ernor, for the purpose of providing
additional grounds and erecting neces-
sary buildings for the University of
Texas, including a medical depart
ment, an agricultural and mechanical

Expressions of confidence in the
new City Council are heard on every
side. The people are expecting great
things of the new board and do not
doubt in the least but that they will be
accomplished. Let it not be forgotten,
however, the people themselves have
a duty to perform. They must give the
Council their moral support, they must
stand by them and hold up their hands.
If the members of the Council feel
that the people are with them, it will
serve as an inspiration for the best
service they are capable of rendering,
while on the other hand, an indiffer-
ent support from the people will call
forth only an Indifferent service on
the part of the members of the board.

THE FARMERS SCHEDULE
Gridiron Campaign Arranged for New
Eleven Moran Must Evolve
for A. and M.

Prof. r. ]. Potts, head of the high
way engineering department and
chairman of the games committee, an.
nounces the following football SEIZED
ule for the Texas Aggies for 1918. The
contracts have all been signed and
sailed away and everything is in readi-
ness for the season to open, insofar
as the games committee is concerned:
October ia. and NJ against Trim
ity University at College Station.
October ga. and M. against Aus
tin College at College Station.
October pa. and M. against Texas
Christian University at College Sta
ton.
November IA. and NJ. against
Mississippi A. and NJ. College in Dal-
las.
November IA. and NJ. against Kan
sas Aggies at Manhattan, Kan.
November 10-A. and NJ. against
Oklahoma A. and NJ. College at Still
water, Okla.
November 1S-A. and NJ. against
Haskell Indians Lawrence, Kan.) at
College Station.
November ga. and NJ. against
Baylor University at College Station.
November pa. and M. against
Louisiana State University at Hous-
ton.
Prof Potts is to be congratulated
upon having such a well balanced
schedule 1t will be seen that the sea-
son opens with Trinity University on
October IL and gradually works up to
the Kansas Aggies November l, which
will no doubt be the hardest game of
the season, but by then the team will
have played four games and should be
in the pink of condition. The schedule
includes the best teams in the South
west and takes in all the Texas col
leges save two-Southwestern and the
University of Texas.
1t was thought by many that the
Farmers schedule last year was the
hardest ever attempted by a Texas
team, but the one above is equally as
hard, if not harder, including five out
of-State teams, and is perhaps little
better arranged, as four games are not
crowded into space of eleven days,
as was the case last year. The au-
thorities decided to take on Oklahoma
A. and NJ College this year instead of
Oklahoma University, as this fitted
into the trip to Kansas better. For the
past few years the Oklahoma Aggies
have been on the upclimb and it will
be remembered that this team made

"The general opinion prevails that
the real intention is to use the author
ity which this amendment would carry
with it to destroy the A. and NJ. Col
lege in Brazos County and build up
one at Austin.
Il sincerely trust that the opinion
is not well founded, but it certainly
appears from a careful reading of the
amendment as worded that this is the
intention. Very truly,
