SUPPORT OF CADETS URGENTLY SOLICITED. It is pretty safe to say that there are very few, if any, boys at A. and M. who do not realize the value of an ed ucation and who would not be glad if every other boy in this State had the same educational advantages as we who are here have. And, as the worth of an education to the boys here is ev 5 ' 1 "”* so the value of aid to poor boys in securing an education is also justly appreciated. Therefore, any plan which provides for funds to enable worthy, but poor, boys and girls of this State to obtain a much-needed education, should re ceive the hearty support of the corps and all persons connected with the college not oiily during the session of school, but also during the summer vacation. House Joinst Resolution No. 9 (by Metcalfe) is to be submitted to the people this summer. This resolution embodies provisionf or the ambitious boy who desires an education and is entitled to one, but is unable to defray his expenses. This resolution provides for the es tablishment—if the qualified voters of that county desire it—of a fund in each county to be known as a “Stu dent’s Loan Fund.” It is by no means compulsory for a county to establish this fund, but if the voters of that county, at an election held for that purpose, decide to establish it^ the county commissioners are authorized to levy a small tax, not to exceed twenty cents on the one hundred dol lars valuation, to form this fund. After the fund is created it is to be loaned out, under the direction of the county commissioners, to boys and girls of that county in order that they may complete their education with the aid of the loan from this fund. Only a low rate of interest is to be charged, and the loans will be made on such time that the student will be out getting the value of his education, and in a good position to repay them when these loans become due. Th eresoljjtion, if passed by the people, certainly can harm no one, and surely ought to supply a long felt want by enabling the poor boys and girls of this State to secure an educa tion, and at the same time to put enough time on their studies so as to get the full value from them. If the men of the corps will lend their aid and influence to this resolu tion when they go home this summer and speak a good word for it when ever the opportunity presents itself, there will be small doubt as to its passage by the people; because^ if the people once realize its full import and value, they will hasten to adopt it, and its adoption means a better-educated, more enlightened, and more worthy populace in our great and wealthy State. A-B WINS 11 to 10 VICTORY FROM C-D In a rather loose game Sunday, A-B defeated C-D by a score of 11 to 10. Thruout the entire game, both teams showed that there was considerable room for improvement. Heavy hit ting by both clubs was the feature of the game. There were five home runs made—C-D one and A-B four. In Harris, C-D has a second sack man who promises to show style in the company league this season. Tom Cochran’s work with the big stick in the slugfest was that which filled A-B fans’ hearts with joy when he poled out a homer with two on bases. The pitchers for both teams were inef fective. Weaver for A-B showed good form on first. Dutch Eschen- burg, the guy who put “think” in “Ithinkso,” surprised his most inti mate friends by his good work at short and also at bat. Lost: One regulation cap on night of C. E. reception. Information con cerning the whereabouts of same will be greatly apprecniated by James R. Hill. Lost, Strayed or Stolen, or (?): Our mascot, “Kike.” Five hundred dollars reward is offered for the return of this pet in a healthy condition. 3MLIHL Jama®© Complete Line of Drugs and Drug Sundries at Reasonable Prices We will Appreciate Your Business Bryan, Texas J.
