demned by some and commended by
others for some supposed complaint
about the rowdyism at dances held in
the Soldiers Club House, do not be
mistaken there has been no official
complaint made, but | have tried 10
drop hints where it was thought they
would be appreciated, but it seems
they are not.
am not governed in this by any
sanctimonious turn Of mind, but by a
desire to preserve for the citizens Of
Toledo Coz which | consider myself
one) their present Club House, this
building stands on ground owned by
the Pacific Spruce Corporation and
adjacent to a property worth consid
cradle money and its preservation
means more money to The Citizens OF
this community, and the gap between
theft and arson is very short.
Any farther misbehavior upon these
grounds will be met with a report from
me recommending the removal of the
Club House for the safety of this
property. w. X. Patterson,
District Supervisor.

resolution recommending a law 70 pro
hibit the sale Of cigarettes OF cigar

The cigarette resolution, rural edu-
cation and the high school flapper
held the center Of the stage today.
Probably the most interesting dis
cussi0n was over the bobbed hair and
rolled stockings Of the modern high
school girl She has an ardent sup
porter In Miss Edith L. Clark, Of the
North Texas Normal School at Den
ton.
There is much good even in the
most Flippant Flapper, Miss Clark
declared, much Of the prattle and
frivolity, is mere bubble and after the
efferevesent silly giggling stage the
girl grows into d young woman OF
whom we are justly proud"
Declaring that rural communities
are the breeding places Of radical
ism and not the cities as generally
supposed, Dr. c. A. Dresser 81 Min
neapolis attacked rural schools and
the methods used in them.
"The great need Of the country
is rural leadership and this leader
ship must come from the school
teachers" he said.
Col. T. N. Jones, Of Tyler, in a
sweefing denunciation, charged that
big financial and business interests
Of Texas we're purposely opposing
educational advancement in order 70
keen the people Hneducated. Colonel
Jones declared that the Legislature
appropriated 1911, $50 20 administer
the state live stock laws while the
appropriation for the Department OF
Education was only ST.. 300.
A resolution was also adopted rec
ommending that no teacher be EN-.
cloyed In the public schools who did
not hold 4 first grade teachers GER
tificate. This was to become effect
tive Sept. /, 1924. The resolution
also provided that after Sept. /, 1927,
