Rio Crande Valley
Prospers This Year
From the Houston Chronicle.

From the Houston Chronicle.
The whole state Of Texas rejoices In
the fact that the Rio Grande Valley
folks have made money this year. The
news that more than $1o.o00,0o0 worth
Of foodstuffs has been shipped away is
encouraging to those Of us who feel
that that particular section Of Texas is
O garden spot Of the universe.
And the valley farmers had good
prices for their crops, too. except in the
case of cabbage. Cabbage was low, but
1t is a good money crop in a good year.
And good years come often down there.
Citrus fruit brought In handsome re-
turns-good prices for most vegetables.
The Mexican tomato raisers were out
of luck. Revolution interfered with
shipments from the west coast of the
neighboring republic. What Is one
mans poison Is another mans meat
The valley cleaned up on tomatoes, and
over the line the farmers cursed while
the freight cars went through, filled not
with ripe red ones, but with Govern
ment troops,
They have moved $4,000 cars out of
the Rio Grande Valley, with more yet
to come. The money will soon start
pouring in. Those border farmers can
use 1t. It Is q splendid agricultural
section. this part OF Texas which lays
along the great river of the Mexicans
It Is developing fast. The demand for
valley grapefruit exceeds the supply.
And some energetic souls are planning
extensive grape vineyards, an industry
which California has monopolized In
the past.
They have good roads down there and
good schools and flourishing cities
They have to pay for them, OF course
A high type of civilization there. Civic
expenses are heavy. This big money
coming in will make the farmers feel As
though their taxes are light And q
lot of them will hope and pray that
they can do as well next year as they
did this time. Texas says Amen.

Now that the sum total Of damage
to our trafIic regulations wrought by
automatically immunized foreign guests
is exposed, it is to be hoped that the
diplomats will be spared some of the
caustic criticism that the corps as a
whole has suffered at the hands of a
few OF our legislators who become un-
duly excited over the customary cour-
tesies extended the ENJOYS and agents

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

The problem Of the child who does
not like school Is an old one, but we
wonder IL educators have ever conSid.
cred it from business standpoint.
In other words. why is it that the
overgrown boy who leaves school from
the fifth grade on, 50 often finds work
in the business world entirely to his
liking?
what is there about real life, as
contrasted with tile somewhat arti-
fetal school life, which appeals to a
boy?
This basic dissimilarity between
school and business accounts for many
scholastic failures" which in the last
analysis are not fiunks ut all, but
simply misfits.
Life is full Of misfits of all sorts
1t is little wonder that the paternal-
istic system called school should TEEN
with them.
In the business world, however, many
of these delinquents turn into first-rate
successes. BY the term business
world" let 1t be said, in passing, we
simply mean life after the school years.
For the great majority of young men
and women there Is a very decided de-
marcation between school and later life
There Is little merging-and less
connection. Most of the bare facts
learned before serve not at all later.
Whatever profession, business. trade,
work one takes up, whole new group
Of related facts must be learned, In
some degree, and an entirely new set
OF reactions put into operation.
It may be q surprising thing TO ed
ucatorS to know that thousands of
their most successful former pupils are
unanimous in declaring that they nev-
er liked school.
And why didn't they like it? Why
Is it that many a man who made ex-
cellent grades" in school days is will
ing to admit that he never really
lived until after his school days were
over?
The basic reason, one may feel. is
the hard-and-faSt system of marks, F"
which constitutes an abnormality in
real living.
In the business world astute execu-
tives know the good points and the
failures of their men without rubbing
1t In through the use OF an artificial
set Of preconceived standards.
Happily in life one may be a semi
failure in peace, whereby In school one
is called Ounce and stood In the
corner
The unhappiest, the unfairest thing
about 1t is that the one in the corner
may be no Ounce at all.
Instead Of the corner, he may have
deserved the teachers chair-but would
teacher have been human enough to
have given 1t to him?
Is there any teacher in the world
who has the vision to see the future
successes?
II educators could unerringly pick
out the future great men. they would
concentrate on them and permit the
rest to get along as best they might.
One can be failure, or q semi
failure, in life. without suffering the
ignominy Of receiving marks" at stated
periods.
Boys, girls. men, women, all feel the
essential injustice of others sitting in
judgment on them
Such system is the best that human
minds have been able to evolve through
the centuries, but many are convinced
that it is fun Of error, at best, and be-

her indiscretions. Henry was enlight-

her to the Tower and the block. The
last wife of Henry, Katharine Parr,
was q lady of the court, twice q widow.
Henry, old at so, began to develop con-

his three children. Katharine was

and Henry died In 1547 On Henry'S
death she married Sir Thomas Seymour,
whom she had loved for many years.
Katharine opposed persecution for re-
ligion and once made the almost fatal
mistake of arguing with Henry on
points of religion. He became furious
and signed an indictment against her,
which would have sent her to the
Tower, but reconciliation ensued and
she escaped. She never again argued
with him. When he died. after four
years Of marriage, she must have felt
immense relief that her risky life as q
Queen was Ever 20 safely for her.
