WHY LIKE THE LIGHT.

To The Editor:
We are all human, in that we appre-
ciate favorable appraisement of our
efforts, and when 1 say, l like The
Light, the fellows responsible for this
very excellent newspaper are rot slow
in coming to attention, as to be earn

work is productive of something worth
while, is sweet music-music almost
as sbweet as the singing of dear Old
Time Religion in the days of yester-
year, down at the Big Bethel church.
where our fathers and mothers sought
the gentle Jesus.

fired, good newspaper, well edited. well

CATCH THE THIEVES.
To The Editor.

To The Editor.
I note in a recent news item that
the San Antonio school board has in
creased their budget for the coming
school term something like S6OO,OOO,
which will of course necessitate a con-
siderable raise in our taxes, this, / do
not object to in the least, provided
the money is wisely spent and l be-
lieve it will be as have every conf
dence in our present school board. l
would however, like to make a sug-
gestion, which is:
Catch the Thieves In Our Schools.
1t is very much to be regretted that
our schools harbour thieves and ap-
parently make very little effort to
catch and punish them. My daughter
has attended the Main Avenue high
school for the past several years, and
every year has lost various articles by
theft, but last year was worse than
ever, she lost or rather had stolen
from her two fountain pens, silver
pencil, hand embroidered handkerchief,
80 cents in cash, several books, severl
lunches, hat and several other items.
When she first started at this school
she was given a locker and instruct
ed to get pad lock for some. l
bought a cheap loch, thinking OF
course that the use of locks was
merely a precaution to prevent mis-
takes. but was very much surprised to
be told that this lock had been picked
several times and the locker ran
sacked. Immediately bought an ex-
pensive "Yale" loc1, this was not
bothered until some time last year,
when it was broken open with the use
Of some strong tool and considerable
skill-the locker was ransacked and a
silver pencil stolen. This was reported
to proper authorities but nothing
done. want to suggest to the school
board that they procure the services
Of competent detective. to devote
their entire time to the high schools
and catch some of these thieves and
when they are caught they sould be
severely reprimanded, reported to their
parents for proper punishment and a
second offense should be punished by
expulsion from the school for at least
the remainder of that term.
This same petty stealing goes on in
the grade schools as well as the high
schools and should be investigated and
punished the same as in the high
schools. This could be done with COM
paratively small expense and think
would be money well spent and / am
sure that very few of the taxpayers
would object to this item of expense.

FAVORS CAMP GROUNDS.

To The Editor:
Have just finished reading a letter
to your paper from Tourist" plead
ing for the camping grounds in Brek-
enridge park to remain. Being a life
long resident here myself and greatly
interested in San Antonio, can't see
the objection to the camping ground
in the park. Instead of its being an
eye-sore and a detriment to the park
/, as well as many others who have ex-
pressed themselves. find it a pleasure
and quite a curiosity to drive around
the camping grounds and see the
strangers enjoying the free hospitality
of our city. l don't think we could
find more appropriate place for the
tourists, so why not let them enjoy
themselves in peace?

immortality, searching out the SMELL
lest of human frailties and foibles,
that those with a tendency toward
perverse morals, may sniff unctiously

Finally, I like The Light, because
it never fails to strike out boldly in
behalf and defense of the medical and
surgical profession, when unreasonably
and inexcusably attacked.

ventaja. Y es que puede uno permitir-

Primer factor, Ell industrialismo. FL

de la industria esta linitada por la
productividad de 10 que en- economic Sc
