What practices appeal to you as superior to any of ours in America? In what particular fields could we benefit by following French, Belgian, English or German methods of working ?

For Texas the high point winners were Moss, who won out in the hur- dles; Neely on the mile, Tittsworth on the 880 run; Luke on the two- mile run; Graves on pole vault; Waltman on high jump and T. Smith on the broad jump. All of the above got first places in their respective events. Texas also won the relay races. For A. and M. Keen was high point man of the meet, winning first elin.

In France almost every peasant woman and bourgeo- isie’ is an expert embroidrer, seam- stress and needleworker, being also acquainted with classic music and art, while in this country one seldom finds a woman who can work on her own dresses. The French and Belgians are always interested in antiques and take peculiar delight in owning pos-| sessions of their ancestors.” “Germany has a more thorough ed- ucational system than we have. There a citizen’s education starts with the cradle, being compulsory and contin- ues through the high school gynas- ium, and university. Of course the higher learning is optional, but it is there, and free to him who would pursue it. The secondary schooling is prescribed by law, and some of the academies give degrees in philosophy, law and medicine. Other depart- ments give the courses in engineering (Continued on Page 4) place in the 120 yard high hurdles, and Reynolds tied for second place |in the mile. Another Meet Friday. The Aggie delegation started to work in earnest yesterday for the | dual meet with Rice Institute which will be held on the local cinder path Friday. This is expected to be the most interesting track meet of the season. The Owls came out of their meet with State University ten points ahead of their opponents, and yet Coach Clutter believes he has the material to win over Rice this week.
