Gently aneni the school OF Journal

q doubt was expressed a. 20 It's prae-

ing the way open for Investigation.
One error IN the editorial was in the
statement that the school had been
In operation a year or more when in
fact It has been less than a year
Hon. VIII u. Mayes has written
the signal in reply tothe article point
ing out the erroneous attitude To-
ward the school and 10 order that
the public may know the facts. We
here give excerpts from his letter:
The school has been In operation

dohe with a view a. o 'rtaining It's
proficiency At least no one repre-
renting the executive or legislative
departments AMI 10 clticism has
been made Of the methods so far As
h. knows
He says the practical side Of the
york Is not neglected After the first
three months students are assigned
to actual work In their classes and
persons conversant with that work
have agreed that the results exceed
expectations
Again he rightly says. Unless
Texas maintains a school Of Journal
ism. our brightest young men and
women who desire TO engage in the
profession will be under the necessity
Of going to other states for their
training and TEXAS will lose the Ad-
yantages that accrue from educating
Texans in Texas Institutions.
The entire tone Of the Signal ar
tlcle was an inquiry, based on the
published statement that the Cover
nor was considering the value Of the
school and IN the same issue X was
stated tina, he had declared in favor
Of the appropriation.
The Signal hopes the school will
prove a benefit and that It will grow
