Development ofEducation
In Texas Is Study Topic

Mission schools previous TO 1870 but
about that time they were prac-
tically abandoned. In 1900 the
Spanish executives attempted 70
establish schools. n was started
In San Antonio In 1903. While under
Mexican rule schools did not develop
rapidly. When Texas became a re-
public more interest was displayed
and some government action taken.
In 1889 and 1910 bills were passed
which laid the foundation for the
present endowment fund. In 1850
the Union Sunday school associa-
ton organized a Sunday school IN
Brownsville with a library OF 700
volumes and increased IL to 1000
a year later. After the Mexican
War general culture and standards
OF living came to q much higher
plane and schools. Libraries and
newspapers increased rapidly.
In the German settlement around
New Braunfels a very fine school
fund was in operation at this time.
In 1854 a permanent school fund
was established and all types Of
schools received state money. The
Civil War almost broke up the
schools but a few survived. Austin
and Baylor being two Of them. In
a few years the state system was
reestablished and the educational
status came to a much higher
plane and through the years since
there has been constant re-organ-
iEation and progrVs until at the
present time Texan Is fast forging
to the front in her free public
school system and has now 400
high schools.
The social hour was delightful
and the hostess. assisted by Mrs.
Nathan Moore. served q delicious
plate lunch.

Sphinx, Says Greek Story,
Was Monster That Killed

The sphinx, in ancient Greek legend.
was monster which appeared in Doe
otia, and killed all the inhabitants who
could not solve a riddle which she pro-
pounded to them. The riddle was:
"What animal is it that has four feet,
and two feet, and three feet, and only
one voice; yet it's feet Vary. and when
1t has most it is weakest" Oedipus
answered rightly, Man; for he crawls
on all tours as an infant, and in old
age moves on his feet and staff"
Upon this the sphinx slew herself.
The idea of the sphinx came to
Greece, no doubt from Egypt. But In
Egypt the sphinx is represented as
lion without wings. with a human
head; while the Greek sphinx Is a
winged lion, with woman's breast
and head.
Great Sphinx at Gizeh, colossal form.
hewn out of the natural rock. Inme-
diately in front of the breast is a small
naos, or chapel. formed of three hero
glyphical tablets. Votive Inscriptions
of the Roman period. some as late as
the Third century, were discovered IN
the walls and constructions. On the
second digit of the left claw Of the
Sphinx, an inscription, in pentameter
Greek verse. by Arrlan, was discov-
cred. Another inscription was also
found In Assyria and Babylonia. reI.
