Jue DAILY BULLETIN Vol 3. Coliens. Station, Wednesday, December 3, 1919 No. 66 ” PROFESSORS AND OFFICERS RETURN That the session of the Texas State Teachers Association held in Houston on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week was one of the most largely attended and successful meetings of the association ever held, was the statement made by President W. B. Bizzell who return- ed from Houston today. ‘The pro- gram possessed unusual merit and many of the leading educators of the country appeared upon the program. The crisis confronting education due to the shortage of teachers and low compensation received was repeated- ly stressed during the meeting,” said President. Bizzell. “The enter- tainment provided by the school board, superintendent, teachers and residents of Houston was a notable feature of this convention. Perhaps never before has any session of the association been so elaborately en- tertained as was this association in Houston.” A number of officers and teachers di A. and M. College attended this B ention including President W. B. Bizzell, Dean Charles ‘Puryear, Charles E. Friley, registrar, Dr. J. 0. Morgan, director of the summer schools, Professor M. L.

COLLEGE UP TO NOON YESTERDAY $e ofeededesdesteedoetectoete SCIENCE SEMINAR ENJOYS LECTURE Dr. Robert T.

He took as his subject for the evening “The Relationship of the Soils and Geologiont Formations in the Texas Region.” He prefaced his lecture, however, with a brief consideration, in gen- eral of country wide Geological formations as related to human habi- tation and plant growth, to give the audience in the beginning a sensible idea of geological scientific worth and as he said to dispel the mysticism that the average person places be- tween himself and a clear under- standing of the science of geology. “The study of geology relates to the material formations of the earth, and bears a practical resemblance to the study of architecture. The archi- tect must not necessarily be a car- penter or a mason, neither should the geogogist by a like necessity toil with the physical construction of the earth to be proficient in the science of geology.” “ “Geology has always been the strongest environment of humanity, determining the selection of habita- tion and presenting the greatest problems to the building of trans-- portation routes. The most noticeable: barriers betwéen modern towns and cities and that which lends most to: types, dispositions, spirits and classes: of people are the geological differ- ences of their locations.” He then enumerated some profits that have accrued from the research work of geologists, as the discovery of potash, of commercial fertilizers, ete., and mentioned the present de- mand of good roads as the thing which will depend most on correct geological surveys for real success and permanent construction. “A simple understanding of the science is now recognized to be es- sential to the health of people and of indispensible value in providing water from wells.
