VALUE OF COURSE NOT

Texas Institution is Asking for Million
Dollar Appropriation This Year and
Will Get II, Says President

President F. NJ. Bradley, of the Col
lege Of Industrial Arts, Denton Tex
as, was visitor yesterday at the }.
c. W., spending the day with Presi-
dent Austin, who has been his friend
for many years, and inspecting the
workings Of the institution. Az t'.e
chapel exercises he delivered an in
spring address to the students and
he also spoke briefly at the dinner
hour in the dormitory dining room.
The College of Industrial Arts over
which DR.. Bradley presides is main
tanned by the state OF Texas for the
education of girls, being similar IN
purposes and courses Of instruction
to the institution here. 1t was estab-
lished about thirteen years ago and
now has an enrolment Of over 1000
students. It's plant now Is valued at
over S75O,000 and includes ten or
more buildings I'VE are asking the
legislature for akJut one million dol
lars for maintenance and Development
this year" said President Bradley,
"and we expect to get it. They have
already passed an emergency appro-
priation for $l75,00O for building pur-
poses. The growth Of our school has
been limited only by our capacity for
taking care Of the students. We con-
fidently expect to have an enrolment
of 1000 within few years. ! firmly
believe that the industrial training
which we are giving our students Is
the coming kind Of education in this
country We give full literary courses
but place great emphasis upon prepa-
ration Of our students for practical
duties in life"
Speaking OF the o. G. W., DR. Bradley
said, "You certainly have made a
splendid start here toward the build
ing Of a great institution. am espe-
cially pleased with the fine home-like
spirit which ! find among the girls
in the dormitory and the very pro
nounced loyalty to the institution
which is manifested by students.
President Austin has done excellent
work here and the growth Of your col
lege has attracted widespread atten-
ton among educators. see no rea-
son why 0. G. W. should not take
rank among the greatest schools for
girls in the country If he is allowed
free hand in the development of It and
the legislature continues to make the
necessary appropriations"

Washington, March 17-President
Wilson believes there will be no rail
road strike tonight. On the contrary
he thought the mediators would pre-
vail upon both sides in the impeding
rail trouble to adjust their differences
The confidence Of the chief execu-
tive did not lull him into inaction. Le-
gal precedents have been carefully
studied and it was the impression at
the White House that the president
had been called upon to take strong
steps to check the strike. Whether
he will be able to put the roads un-
der full martial law is uncertain.
In any event his friends said, the
president does not propose to let the
strike drag out into bitter warfare.

ing these appropriations. In the let

brotherhoods dare not carry out their
threat; it would be a calamity which
the country cannot face; the presi-
