    23 3939, with which you submit the proposed charter of             the

    title  1302, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, 1925.
                The purpose   clause    of such proposed   corporation   is:
                “The purpos,e of this Motor Club shall be an

          shall be formed for the purpose of establishing,

          incidental  to such business,     to furnish road in-
          formation to the general public,       to aid. in general
          safety work for school children,       to guard against

               We have, this day, written you our opinion No. O-
     1028 on a similar question presented in the proposed charters
     of the Taxpayers Association  on Nacogdoches County, Texas.   We
     think that the law was fully considered and discussed  in such
     opinion and that it is determinative  of the question here pre-
     sent ed.
               We, therefore,  necessarily conclude, and, you are so
     advised, that the purpose, above set out, is not for an educa-
     tional undertaking within the purview of subdivision   2, Article
