WE MUST PAY THE PRICE.

The Eagle for some time has been
advocating new and modern high
school building for Bryan on the
ground that our own children are en-.
titled to facilities equal to. the faci
tiles given the children OF other cities
In Texas or any other state for that
matter. Bearing on this subject and
directly In line with our argument the
following is quoted from the Houston
Post:
Superintendent Of Public Instruc.
tion Doughty quotes the late Governor
James 5. Hogg as saying: n the peo
pie OF Texas ever expect to have an
efficient system OF schools. they must
prepare to pay for IT,,
No truer words were ever uttered.
We have reached the point where the
need of public school system OF the
highest efficiency is generally recog.
nized. but we have not reached the
point where the people are willing to
pay for such system.
There are cities and towns where
splendid systems are maintained. In
Houston. for instance, we are not far
away from the best standards OF ef.
ficiency now existing. And in the
county. we believe. our rural system
Is the best yet established in the
state.
an the state generally-we mean
the rural sshools-we are yet far be
hind. and we shall remain far behind
until the people eyince a willingness
TO pay as the people OF such states as
California. Wisconsin, Iowa and Mich
igan pay. When the annual cost OF
maintenance reaches s2S or $50 per
capita annually we shall see system
such as the people want. The state
apportionment is not one-third that.
"The 100000 appropriated by the
last session OF the legislature for rural
schools at the suggestion OF Governor
Ferguson is but a start. II will have
10 be continued and greatly increased
before we shall see an ideal rural
school system. And we shall never

DISCUSS MILITARY
TRAINING FOR YOUTHS

Washington, Jan. 1O.-Universal
military service in some form in the
United States, possibly the require
ment that all men between 18 and
21 be given at least six months train
ing as substitute for the volunteer
system, was discussed today before
the house military committee by Ma
jor General Scott, chief Of stan Of
the army.
General Scott told the committee
that the United States would need
an army of nearly two million men
in the event Of war. 1t developed
during the hearing that there are
more than 1900, 900 men in the coun-
try between the ages of Is and q.
and that 100000 more reached tho
age of 1S annually.
Short of a universal military re.
quirement, General Scott thought the
administration continental army
plan offered the most workable solu.
ton of the nations military problemI
If the plan failed, he said. there vas
no escape from compulsory service
With military service imposed %
men between Is and 81, as patriotic
duty, with nominal pay, he thought it
would cost the nation no more Tor an
adequate force than to maintain it,

COURTS UPHOLDS
PURE FOOD LAW
Misbranding Of Drugs Held to Be
"a Violation Of Law Enacted
in 1906.

Washington, Jan. 10.-After ten
years OF legislation and litigation,
the supreme court decided today that
congress had enacted finally consti-
tutional law regulating statements
as to the curative effeccs or meGi-
cines in interstate commerce. the
decision was rendered by Justice
Hughes. Numerous actions agains;
drug concerns are expected to follow.
For time it was urged by govern
ment officials that the 1916 pure food
law, designated as misbranded drugs
or medicines, which were accompan-
led in interstate commerce by know
ingly false statements about the cur
atiye effects of the compounds. The
supreme court decided, however, that
the 1906 law applied only to mis-
branding as to the identity or compo-
Sition of drugs.
In response to a resulting message
from President Taft, congress in 1912
enacted Il the Sherley amendment,
which ,,the supreme court held today
struck precisely at misstatenents,
either on the labels or printed crcu-
lars accompanying medicines.
