CLOSING OF SCHOOLS.
People May Decide Question at Annual
or Special Meeting.

Ii the school electors of a district
desire To close the school and send
the children To another district or dis
tricts they may decide to do so at an
annual or special meeting. In this
way, the district organization is main
tanned and the primary money is not
forfeited. Heretofore action Of this
kind could be taken only at the annual
meeting but the recent legislature
amended the act. All school electors,
whether voters because they are tax
pave or the parents or guardians OF
children on the census list may vote on
this question.
Educators insist that a satisfactory
school cannot be maintained with less
than ten pupils and urge districts
which can conveniently send their chill
dren elsewhere to close their schools
with small enroliments The board may
pay their tuition and transportation,
il necessary, out of any money on
hand except library money, and may
vote tax for such purpose.
Attorney General Grant Fellows
rules that if the electors vote To close
their school after the board has hired
n teacher for the next year the dis
trict cannot be held to the contract.

THE BRYAN EAGLE PROSPERITY
EDITION..

Recently there have been so many
trade" investment" and other spe-
cial editions of Texas newspapers is
sued that one might suppose the limit
of new ideas and new features had
been reached. That, however, is not
true, for The Bryan Eagle of April %
appears as a special edition of thirty
two pages and introduces the novel
idea of combining itself strictly to the
present, and telling in the most d-
rect and attractive way not what
Bryan may be in the future but exact
ly what Bryan is today.
The Bryan banks are full of money;
the farmers have made good crops,
which they sold at good prices; every
industry in Bryan is running under
full head of steam; the saw and ham
mer are heard on all sides-in a word.
Bryan is prosperous and happy, and
this 32-page edition of The Eagle is
issued for the purpose of letting the
world know that fact
The edition is well illustrated, and
there are many pictures of prominent
