JANUARY NORTH TEXAS BRAN CH ok THE A. & M. COLLEdE. Dr. J. M. Carlisle of Arlington, ao- branch «+ the north 'I'^xas. Carlisle in the siu a CoHpgeij (interest treat in4 favor of establishing A. 4i M. College in The News quotes l>r following words: ^ j “I indorse the view many times ex*- pressed that the number of pupils at an educational institution maybe too large to produce the best results. 1 , think that if would not be wti to en large the present A. and M. College ' at its home location. Besides the reasonable objection to large numbers the accessibility and the agricultural conditions should receive careful at tention. We have in the immediate section in w^ich Dallas is (situated ideal conditions for a branch of the A. and M. College. “AH favorable aonditioos exist a^ Arlington- -accessibility, suitable mm I, good health conditions and good cli- ^ mate conditions. So 1 desire‘to pu| Arlington before the public fori such branch of the A. and M. CdlflHj i This suggestion is made in the of the State and orte of her great i sticutious and our people would be (pleased to see The News continue it* efficient efforts for better agrarultural conditions (by oiwning its columns to a discussion of this matter.’* To us it seetas that some year* will pass before anyone need 'say that “it would not be wise to enlarge the pres ent A. & M. Co! ege at it* home lo- I cation.'' The Aj A M. College is centrally situated In the statin to be gin with, and the accessibility of Col- . lege Station is qiutu as good .as that of Arlingtoh. A* to “the reasonable objection to large humberv” we may staty that a college with five hundred students is largely to be considered as possessed of a large enrollment. When A. N M. has five thousand . students, perhaps Texas maj reason ably ththk. of establishing a branch somewhere, but not till thep. ! I ;] Arlington it/ doubtless biassed in many ways, but all the favorable con ditions as enumerated by Dr. Carlisle are ai«*> found at College Station. | i Our soil is very probably not as good .as that found at Arlington, but * rich spil is hardly necessary lor experiment <Kofk. We a rex cost vi need of the Einrenty of Dr. Carlisle in his si^ggestiiith, but we believe That in establishing branch A. & M. .College, especially at th» time, Texas would make a huge mistake. Our idea is to have one great institution at College btx- tion, with as many stations to carry on experiment work in gifforent parts at the state as are required. This opinion is by no means original with t i us, b«l.ts held by nearly every person who understands and apprecintes the work and scope at the A. Sc M.

The College- Topict. of that institution, on Dec ember 13, 1905, said; The Arcadians lived up t© their usual- reputation, so far as the quality of their entertainments goes, vyhen they presented Miss M*ry Carson-Kidd, last Friday, before an enthusiastic audience .as sembled in Madison Hall. Prob ably never before has an entertain ment !been given hexe that received such universal praise, and never before has a singef equal to Miss Mary Caraon-Kidd been beard by a gathering at the. unigersity. Her voice was sweet and clear, and her range remarkable. In fact, from the time she appeared until the end, she was encored after every ■election, and held her hearers' un divided attention.
