idea is so enwrapped, 1t is generally

Found New RiVaIrles.

At the present we belive that spe-
cial effort should be made to develop
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege until it shall compare favorably
with agricultural and mechanical col
leges in our sister states. Certainly IT
will be unwise for Texas to dissipate
her energies and funds by starting
another agricultural and mechanical
college. thus laying a foundation for
new rivalries.
The present Agricultural and Me
chanical College makes it possible for
young men from Texas homes to Sc
cure the advantages of an Industrial
education at an expense of $3.50 per
year: much less than the cost at the
/ University.
We appeal to all voters and friends
of agricultural education to vote down
this resolution and demand OF the Leg
islature that it submit an amendment
| that Will separate tne Agricultural ""'
Mechanical College and the University
and provide adequately for the up
building of both of these institutions
as also the College of Industrial Arts
and the normals. We believe that Tho
meritorious provisions pertaining tC
good roads. irrigation, drainage anC
public warehouses should be submit
ted separately and without entangle
ment so that they may be voted on &C
cording to their merits.

Its Work Approved.

For many years from 600 to 500
members of the Farmers Congress in
annual session at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College have passed resolu-
lions approving the work of the col
.lege, demanding more liberal support
TO permit the increasing of the amount
and broadening of the scope of the
work done by the institution. We have
repeatedly asked for the complete sep
aration of the Agricultural and Me
chanical College and the University
This demand has been made part OF
the Democratic platform of 1910 and
I1912. Resolution IS provides for con
solidation instead of separation. we
can account for this only by the state
ment of SO members of the Legisla
ture that they voted for the submis
Ision of the amendment under misun
derstanding of its real purpose.
