Kerrville. Tex, Feb. 3.-The Schrein-
er Institute, made possible through the
generous gifts of Capt. Charles Schrein-
er of Kerrville, will open in Septem-
her with two modern school buildings.
For the first year, the institute WI!
offer work in the last two years OF
grammar school and four years OF high
school work. As soon as the demand
iustifies, two years of college work
will be added, giving the school the
rank of a standard junior college, from
which students may go to any college
or university in the state and enter
MS full juniors, completing their course
for a degree within two years.
From the opening date, a Bible
course will be required of every stu
dent enrolled and this will be made
a regular department of the institute.
Curriculum Is Wide.
Courses in agriculture, horticulture
and animal husbandry will be included
in the curriculum the first year. An
instructor who has specialized in this
work and who has had practical ex-
perience will be placed at the head
of this department. 1t is expected
that an experiment station will be
established later to serve this part Of
the state. The cooperation of Texas
A. & NJ. College has been promised
in planning and carrying out this fea-
ture of the work. As this department
is developed, thoroughbred herds of live
stock and flocks of registered poultry
will be placed on the school farm for
demonstration and experimental pur-
poses. A dairy, irrigated garden and
other features will be established TO
furnish supplies for the school during
the school term and for the Presbyter-
ian Encampment during the summer
months.
A complete system Of piping has
been laid and a beautiful campus will
be the result.

Provision has been made for both
physical and chemical laboratories and
complete equipment will be placed in
these during the summer. The archi-
tects have provided ample room for
library facilities and it is planned to
install an up-to-date library during the
fir.t year. The advice and suggestions
of the State Department of Education

ment for both the library and the
laboratories.

temporarily in the basement of the
main building and will be equipped Ia

A counted attendance of $4,000 peo-

business transacted during the fourteen
day trip of the Sap demonstration spe-
cial, was reported by III. NJ. Madison,
manager, who returned to San Antonio
Saturday night. After the train had
been on the road for a few days, num-
erous requests were made, Mr.. Madi.
son said, that the train be taken north
so that people could see what is raised
in the lower Rio Grande valley.
Mr.. Madison said that it was neces-
sary at times to rope off the train from
the crowd to prevent people being hurt
IN attempting to get on.
The proper way to advertise. Mr.
Madison said, is to advertise products,
not real estate. Because the train
showed products of the territory
through which it ran, he attributed its
success. A feature of the Sap train
that has never before been tried on
demonstrations in this part of the
country was the commercial arrange.

territory were allowed to accompany
their exhibits by paving a regular mas.

In the entire trip, he said, there was
not halt in arrangements and not one
accident. Including the train crew and
the men who accompanied their exhib-
its, there was between 81 and 40 peo-
pie. Among those on whom most of
the responsibility rested and to whom
much of the credit for the success Of
the venture is due, Mr.. Madison said.

the Texas A. & NJ. College, formerly of

Ida Renolds, county home demonstra-
ton agent of the San Antonio Cham
Der of Commerce.
Ask About Fruit.
Mr.. Madison said that people often
came to him and asked:
Did that fruit come from Califor-
MIA or Florida 2"
When informed that the fruit re-
ferred to came from South Texas along
the Sap Lines, the people would hard
ly believe him, he said. Business men
of Houston, he said, were surprised to
know that products like those on the
Sap special were grown within a few
miles of Houston. ... .s..-.. ....
The train will be dismantIed in San
Antonio and the exhibits returned to
the owners.

at the meeting. The battle is to be held
at the Fiesta amphitheater, and all
parades will pass through the pageant
grounds and across the stage to be
erected on the city auditorium site on
Romano street. 1t is also planned to
have white way" from the heart of
the city to the Roman street site. This
way is TO be brilliantly lighted with
flood lights. All streets in the bust
ness district are TO be decorated with
arches draped with the Fiesta colors-
green, orange and white.
The School Children's parade is to
be new feature of the week. Each
school of the city, both public and pri-
vate, will be represented with a float
bearing a queen of their selection. In
the float of honor il is planned to have
a queen from the University of Texas

this parade, and he will be assisted by
Herbert Peairs, member Of the school
board. Special attention will be given
to the electrical parade.
Capt. Charles S. Kilburn was elect
ed director of the association at the
meeting, and the report from Jack
Raybould, who is directing the drive
for funds, was heard. While Subscrip
tons are coming in steadily, the report
stated, the association Is still between
$4,000 and $4,000 short of the amount
needed to carry out the celebration as
planned. The directors desire to ad
vertise the Fiesta throughout the entire
state and to make the 1928 celebration
the largest ever held.

Mr.. Bedemus who recently completed
an inspection of the WOodlawn Hills
properties for this purpose.
he thought it advisable, II Is stated,
for the club to acquire additional
acreage for future use and hence 40 to

directors for a term of three years with
