VOTING LIGHT UP
TO THREE O'CLOCK

II is possible more interest may be
shown in the election this evening when
offices, stores and workshops close, but
up to press hour very light vote had
been east, Shortly after noon the vote
in Ward was only l37 and at o'clock
in Ward 7 but 1873 votes had been
polled,
The other wards all reported light
vote. OF course no one can look under
the other fellow s hat and tell what he
is going TO de- but there seems to be
a pretty general feeling that the char.
ter will be beaten. The fact that the
vote is light may save it, say those wac
have been keeping watch Of the matter,
but they add that with full vote out
II will be badly beaten. There seems
TO nave been but little discussion Of
the charter outside Of the. gatherings
for the purpose, and the wise ones say
this lack Of interest indicates oppod.

HEALTH CONDITIONS

The great influence for the improve

bettUmcn Of conditions in school work

School Superintendent j, A, Churchill,
in his biennial report 10 the legisla
twe In treating OF this subject mat.
ter IN his report Mr. Churchll says
During the past year more than 300
pareut.teaeher associations were or.
gauiyel in the school districts through
out the state, The purpose Of this or.
| gani2ation is TO improve the standard
Of living IN the homo, TO protect the
child aud 10 improve all the conditions
under which children live, The aim Is
TO 10 this in certain definite ways
through organized efforts along the lines
Of child hygiene, sanitation in the home
and school, good literature, legislation
for the protection Of child life, good
roads, school improvements and n closer
cooperation between parent and teach.
en- TIE following brief extracts from
q few OF the many excellent reports
which have been received from the dif.
terent counties, will show the work that
is being done by these organizations
"' The parent teacher associations
have supported the school boards when
questions of new buildings or other i'm.
jprovoments have come mp, have secured
walks, graded and fenced the school
grounds, and have done many other
things TO make the school buildings and
grounds attractive and comfortable,
q" These associations and their Nom.
hers have accomplished much In beau.
tifyiug school buildings and grounds, IN
making the school garden project posi-
hle, IN securing sanitary drinking foun.
tains, with a supply Of pure water, aud
in various ways, improving tnc school
conditions
" The association members, at thcir

A GOOD ROADS COURSE.

No more important work was ever
undertaken by the A. G. VI. College
than the course about toibe inaugural
cd for instruction in road building.
Il Is a short course and is intended
especially for road oyerseers, com
missioners and others interested in
good roads. The men in Texas who
are responsible for the roads OF the
State by virtue Of their official posi-
tons. should not fall to avail them
selves OF the opportunities offered by
the college, to the end that the enor.
nous waste of the resources OF the
people through faulty and unscientifc
road construction. might be stopped.
In commenting on this short course
in road construction the Houston Post
says: ....
"The highway engineering depart
ment OF the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College announces that
the annual short course OF road over
seers, commissioners and others in.
terested in road construction will be
held at the college January to 30.
The time is rapidly passing, says the
Waco Morning News. when men with.
out special knowledge OF road con.
struction will be entrusted with the
supervision Of road building or re-
pairing in Texas. Millions OF dollars
have been wasted in the past through
faulty plans and supervision and
many counties in Texas are paying
taxes 10 retire bonds issued for roads
that have long since worn out. The
people want good roads and are viii.
ing to pay for them, but they are not
willing 10 entrust the expenditure OF
large sums to men without special
knowledge OF the science Of road
building. The surest way TO win a
good roads bond issue election is TO
convince the people that provision
has been made to insure the wise ex
penditure Of the money and that they
will get full value for every dollar
spent for roads. Much can be learned
in four weeks at the good roads school
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College and every road overseer and
county commissioner in Texas should
take this short course
