compared with the village school largely. perhaps, because suitable teachers cannot be persuaded to teach in the rural districts and put up with the living conditions often found there.

HOUSTON IS REAL
 TEXAS WASHINGTON
Haned for One Of Outstanding Heroes Of the American Nation

Washington, D. C., Jan. 13.- Hike the city that spreads over he District of Columbia, and the capital of Nouraaka, Houston, Texas whor" the second largest equestrian s'atuc in the world soon is to be set up. was named for one of the outstanding leaders and heroes Of America" says ! bulle- tin from the Washjngt on, D. C., headquarters Of the National Gra- graphic society. "But because Sam Houston. the subject of the huge statue, carried on his work on the
 frontiers rather than in ;he relq- lively crowded eas', his fame las suffered.
 sam Houston might be consd- cred a sort or average struck be- tween Daniel Boone, Andrew Jock son, and George Washington -- which makes him more typicai Of American leaders of the past 2@n- tury than most Of his fcllows," ,on- tmuos the bulletin. Like Boone he 'SNNd NilS IT pIlltt.lt tN 'itS 'sIl t'Nttl~ lont woodsman. and Was recognized us a leader by the Indians as well as by his fellow Americans. Like Jackson he was q rough and ready. but an admirable soldier And like Washington he combined military skill with natural ability to com- rnand attention in the council cham Der. Like Washington, too, he play ed a prominent part in shaping the destiny of his country. His was the major role in freeing one-twcfth Of the present territory of the United States from Mexico and anncxing it to the Union as the State of TeXae.
 Few men have held so many positions of authority in different jurisdictions as sam Houston, He was member of Congress from and governor of Tennessee, com l inanderin-chief of the army of Colonial Texas. president of the Re public of Texas, senator from the state of Texas, and governor oI Texas.
 "The city which IS the name sake of General sam Houston is more happily and lcss arbitrarily | designated than most communities | that bear the names of famous men. 1 l. was almost on the site of the | city that General Houston, com manding the revolutionary army of . Texas, defeated Santa Ana, Prcsi- dent and commander-in-ch of Mexico, in the battle of San Jacin- to on April q, 1886. and made pos sibe the state of which Houston is now one of the leading cities.
 Battlefield to Metropolis
 If the old general could see through the bronze eyes of the ef- iigy which will be set up near the scene of his pregnant victory, he would behold a vastly different re- zion from that over which his soldiers fought with their muzzIe- loading musKcts. The long grass in which the Mexican Napoleon was found hiding the day after his de- feat has been replaced by the close clipped lawns of tens of thousands of dwellings Of a modern Ameri- can city. The few old trails have turned into checkerboard of paved business streets, while railroads and electric lines and shell highways radiate out into a region of farms, orchards and ranches. The place bristles with skyscrapers - more Houstonians assert, than in any other city of like size.
 "One Of the most noteworthy is that which has
