OPPORTUNITIES FOR OBTAINING AN EDUCATION
(Continued from Page 3)
production and refining, and many others.
The purpose of the Textile Engineering course is to prepare
young men to enter the field of cotton manufacturing. The un-
precedented development of cotton manufacturing in the south has
been part of an industrial development which has meant greater
prosperity in every line. Texas presents a splendid opportu-
nity for textile development. Graduates of this course find
employment in positions of responsibility in cotton mills and al-
lied industries.
The two-year course gives a less complete training for those
who can only spend a limited time in preparation for their life
work.
The two-year course in Cotton Marketing and Classing is in-
tended for the young man who expects to enter the cotton busi-
ness either as buyer, classer, or office man. Along with some
general educational courses it gives intensive instruction in cot-
ton grading and in the methods of cotton marketing.
4. The School of Veterinary Medicine.
The School of Veterinary Medicine offers a four-year course
in Veterinary Medicine, leading to the degree of Doctor of Veter-
inary Medicine, and the School of Agriculture and the School of
Veterinary Medicine offer a six-year course in Agriculture and
Veterinary Medicine leading up to the degrees of Bachelor of
Science and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Students taking Veterinary Medicine, besides the usual
courses in chemistry, biology, and zoology, are required to take
courses in anatomy and physiology of horses, mules, dairy and
beef cattle, swine, sheep, goats and poultry. This is followed by
a study of diseases and how they affect the different tissues and
parts of animals. In order to give students a thorough under-
standing of the manifestations of disease within the body, syste-
matic postmortem examinations on bodies of animals that die of
different diseases as well as microscopic study of the tissues are
given.
The life history of parasites that affect animals and their
transmissibility to human beings are carefully studied. Thorough
study of the germs of disease of animals and their transmissibility
to human beings is required. These studies train students in the
latest and most positive methods of making diagnosis of disease.
Courses are given on the derivations, actions, uses, and doses
of drugs as well as courses on the preparation of serums, anti-
toxins, bacterins, vaccines, and other biologics for the prevention
and treatment of diseases of animals.
A. and ‘M. College has one of the largest veterinary clinics in
the world. In this clinic, sick horses, mules, dairy and beef cat-
tle, swine, sheep, goats and poultry are assembled. Students are
given an opportunity to see these animals each day. A certain
number of cases are assigned to each student for his immediate
observation and treatment under the supervision of an instructor.
Therefore, the courses in Veterinary Medicine are designed to
give capable training for professional veterinary service as vet-
erinary practioners, veterinary sanitarians, veterinary milk in-
spectors, veterinary pathologists, veterinary bacteriologists,
teachers of veterinary medicine, veterinary service in the U. S.
Army, veterinary service with commercial concerns, where an up-
to-date, complete and scientific knowledge of the diseases of ani-
mals and their relation to public health is essential.
Salaried positions for veterinarians pay from fifteen hundred
to six thousand dollars. Veterinary practice offers unusual op-
portunities for public service as well as profitable business.

Bb. School of Vocational Teaching.
I Four-year courses are offered in Agricultural, Industrial and
Rural Education. :
The teacher-training courses in the A. and M. College have
been officially recognized by the State Board for Vocational Edu-
cation and through these professional courses in Agricultural and
Industrial Education this College has become the leading insti-
tution in the State for the preparation of teachers of vocational
agriculture and the trades and industries. No other institution
in the southwest offers a four-year course leading to a degree In
Industrial Education which meets all the requirements of the
State and Federal Boards for Vocational Education.
More than two-thirds of the vocational agriculture teachers in
Texas high schools were trained at A. and M. College. A larger
number of the graduates in Agriculture enter teaching than any
other single vocation. In graduate work in Agricultural Educa-
tion there is no other institution in the South which offers facil-
ities, both in teaching staff and equipment, comparable to those
at A. and M. College.
Special courses for teachers, principals and superintendents
of the rural elementary and high school are offered by the Depart-
ment of Rural Education. In compliance with the State Teach-
ers Certificate Law, a student in this course may qualify (1) for
a “four-year elementary school certificate,” upon the completion
of one year of college work, (2) for a four-year high school cer-
tificate upon the completion of two years of college work, (3) a
permanent high school certificate upon the completion of the four-
year course.
The Training School on the campus, with an enrollment of
350 pupils, is used as a laboratory for practice teaching.
C. Eligibility (Who is eligible?)
All male graduates of affiliated high schools. ;
All boys who may satisfactorily pass an entrance examination upon
arrival at College. Ca
All boys who may satisfactorily pass the state examination for en-
trance to college.
In April or May of each year the State Department of Educa-
tion offers examinations to students in non-affiliated schools.
These examinations are held by the local Superintendent or Prin-
cipal of the school and the papers are sent to the State Depart-
ment of Education to be graded. A student in a non-affiliated
school may take these examinations each spring in the subjects
he has been studying that year and if he passes these examina-
tions satisfactorily he will be eligible to college without further
examination, provided he has thus accumulated at least fifteen
units; three of which must be in English, two in Algebra, and one
in Plane Geometry.

nowhere else in America.
We believe also that a trained mind
land anywhere else, and can teach
others there to obtain still better re-
sults. That the work of your experi-
ment station supplemented by the ef-
forts of your graduates will demon-
strate the best methods for all crops
and bring about a property not here-
tofore dreamed of.
Thus believing, we have’ the deep-
est pleasure in presenting to the win-
ner of the prize this year, a deed to
a Rio Grande Valley farm, located on
the tract of the A. R. L. & I. Co., near
the beautiful city of Mercedes where
the cool Gulf breezes playin summer
and where the sunshine spends its win-
ters, with the hope that it will be his
permanent home; that there he may
dwell in peace, happiness and pros-
perity, and be to that community the
splendid citizen of which his record
in College gives promise.
