” 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. Hayes and
Professors Kraft, Fields and ‘others.

SCIENCE SEMINAR
ENJOYS LECTURE
Dr. Robert T. Hill, Consultinz
Geologist of the firm of Hill &
Brantly, Geologists and Engineers,
of Dallas, Texas, delivered a lecture
in the Y.M.C.A. Chapel last night
to the Science Seminar of the Col-
lege. 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. Dallas was fif-
