COL. BALL FayoRs SEPARATION.


Bryan, TeXns.
Dear Mr.. Miner:
| am net only decidedly in favor
Of the permanent separation OF tho
A. & NJ. College from the Texas Uni
yersity, but ! am particularly well
pleased with all of the provisions Of
House joint resolution No. "a, which
is to be voted upon by the people Of
Texas-July cath.
This amendment to our Constitu-
ton provides, as it should, for an
equitable apportionment of uniyer-
sity lands between the University,
A. & NJ. College, Prairie View
Normal and Industrial College in a
manner, so | understand, satisfac-
tory to each institution.
BY its terms the medical branch OF
the University is permanently locat'
ed at Galveston, a most admirable
domicile therefor.
In addition, the A. & NJ. College
Of Texas is made an Independent col
lcge and permanently located in
Brazos County, and the amendment
authorizes the establishment Of jun.
Tor agricultural colleges, subsidiary
thereto aud under the government OF
the A. & NJ. Board.
The Prairie View Normal & In.
dustrial College is well located in
Waller County, and by the terms OF
the amendment will be permanently
established there, as u branch Of the
A. & VI. College, governed by the
same Board.
The College Of Industrial Arts will
continue at Denton, Texas, where It
is doing splendid work, and be
maintained as an Independent col
lege.
The authors OF this resolution
have done well in making its pur-
poses perfectly plain, SO that all
voters may properly understand its
effect, and | sincerely hope that the
amendment will be adopted by a
very large majority.
| consider the provision Of the res
olution authorizing the establish
ment Of junior agricultural colleges,
subsidiary to and under the govern
ment Of the A. & NJ. Board, as q
very important one
Texas is so large and onr agricul-
tural interests so pre-eminently i'm
portant, that | feel sure that in time
this provision will be evailed Of by
the establishment Of correlated insti-
tutions in different sections Of the
State, to supplement and carry out
the great work Of the Agricultural 4
Mechanical College.
Whatever differences Of opinion
may have existed, as an original
proposition, as to the separation OF
the A. & NJ. College from the State
University, ought now to be compos-
ed, as public thought for many
years, evidenced by many party plat.
forms, declarations Of commercial
bodies and resolutions Of agricultural
and labor organizations, has crystal
lied as to the necessity Of such
separation.
The idea of one great university,
embracing in its sphere Of activity
every field Of learning, has some at.
fractions, but as a practical proPo-
sition such an institution is not now
feasible.
believe in a great University at
Austin, but believe just as strongly
in a great Agricultural 4 Mechani.
cal College, separately maintained
and managed.
In the nature Of things, q student
body, embracing the learned profess
sions, with an increasing demand for
raising its standard to meet that Of
other great universities, is not best
adapted for the education Of boys

KILL the RAT

DR.. J. C. Hurry, Health Com
missioner Of Indian, estimates
that rat destroys $500 worth Of
food annually and DR.. J. C. Crum-
bine, Secretary of the Kansas
State Board Of Health estimates
that the rat population of that
state is in excess of human po-
pulation. A writer in an agri-
cultural Journal estimates that
there are $t0O,O00,00O worth Of
grain every year. These estimat-
es may seem somewhat high, but
they are substantiated by the fol-
lowing bulletin issued by United
States Public Service: 1.-The
average Mrs. rat will contribute
three litters yearly, each litter
avering 10 young. 1t has been
computed that Pa and Ma will in
five years, provided all offspring
live, increase by arithmetic pro-
gression to 94O,369,962,t5 rats.
Of course they do not all live,
but the majority Of them are
pretty healthy due to the fact
that man has been providing both
food and shelter for them.
