WHAT rs USEFUL LEARNING

The quest for the practical in school education is
worth while if it keeps people thinking about school
matters and interested in solving educational prob
lens. But arguments to what is practical useful
education always produce divisions in the ranks of the
arguers.
There educators who regard classes in the
study Of traffic problems more important to high
school pupils than classes in poetry drama There
other critics who regard the ''usefull' "voca-
tional" studies highly impractical. One of these
describes his situation thus:
Il wasted three high school terms learning to
plane two-by-four plank down to an octagon peg
the size of lead pencil. l had no gift for it and
flunked three times, record for that school, but
kept at 1t bee ause | told that it was useful
learning and was young enough to believe it.
That student, now grown man. believes that he
should have spent those three terms studying some
thing perfectly useless like Latin, which would have
been exceedingly helpful to him later in learning
French and Italian, which he needed.
But what is useful for one pupil may be wasteful
for another. 1t is probably right that some schools
should have classes in planning while others have class
in Latin and still others teach both sorts of subjects
1t becomes increasingly apparanet that rigidly
standardized system of schooling unwise, and that
opens the door to whole series of problems which
educators must tackle in the next few years.

us. TOAIDM
CANKER BATTLE
$4,000 Set Aside to Help
Inspection in Texas,
Sheppard Told

The federal government will appro-
pirate $4,000 for inspection TO guard
against citrus canker in yexas cor .he
fiscal year beginning July /, 1925.
This information is contained in a
letter to Senator Morris Sheppard from
R. H. Dunlap, acting secretary Of agri-
culture A copy Of the letter has been
received from Senator Sheppard by the
Valley Chamber Of Commerce.
The decision to spend this sum was
reached after a conference between ].
II. Del Curto of the state department Of
agriculture and Mr.. Dunlap.
Mr.. Del Curto. after returning to Tex
as from Washington, where he had gone
to seek federal aid in the war on this
pest, reported that the federal govern
ment did not favor aiding the fight in
Texas and the change in plans has
evidently been made since his return.
Governor Ferguson has vetoed the
state appropriation for this work and
there is danger that Valley orchards,
which have been almost completely freed
Of canker, might again become infected.
Plans to continue the work in the Val
ley with funds raised locally are to be
discussed by George B. Terrell. state
commissioner Of agriculture. and Mr.
Del Curto when they visit the Valley
soon.
Mr.. Dunlap wrote to Senator Shep-
pard:
"Mr Del Curto explained the urgent
need of continuing the inspection wort
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley where
the citrus industry is being expanded
and explained that for several months
after the expiration of the State appro-
priation, which lapses with the end of
the coming September inspection work
in this region could be continued at
least partially financed by local sub
scriptions.
"The occurrence of infected citrus
plants in the region Of Anahuac and the
probability of other infections between
Houston and the coast makes it appear
urgently necessary to continue inspec-
tion and control work there also.
"It should be added that Mr.. De
Curto believes that further state appro-
rriations will be made available at -
special session of the legislature this
winter Under the circumstances il
would appear advisable to continue the
Federal activities in Texas. not only
until the remainder of the present fis-
cal year but to continue the Federal CO
operation with the state officials in the
fiscal year beginning June 1st, 1925.

DONATES $1,000
FORPUDLICITY
City Is First to Go Over
Top; Heron Pleased at
Ready Response; Ex-
poets Cooperation.

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas, June 16.-
Raymondville is over the top.
The first $1,000 Of the $4,000 Valley
publicity campaign was raised here last
night in a meeting Of local citizens
after the plan had been discussed by
Jamie Heron, director Of the campaign
to raise the fund. Raymondv.lle's
quota has been passed by 5000 other
subscriptions are coming in.
Only few minutes were used in Sc
curing the subscriptions after the dis
cussion had ended.
Mr.. Heron will meet with the citi-
zens of Santa Rosa tonight and the
quota of that place, which is s1O0, will
be passed in a short time he says.
With this encouraging start We ex-
pect to carry the drive on to completion
with little hindrance," Mr.. Heron said.
The satisfactory response at Ray
mondville is an indication Of the atti-
tude which Valley people are taking
toward the drive, and is indeed pleasing
to those conducting the campaign.
:" In each Valley city I believe it, will
be merely question Of explaining to
the people the purpose of the cam
paign, and what the money will be used
for. The committees in the various
cities should have little trouble raising
the funds after this explanation is
made. )"
