One of the divisions of the Texas A.
and M. College whose importance is
little known is the Extension Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Texas entered this wide field of in
struction in 1908 as the first state in
the Union to develop this phase of ag
ricultural education. It now ranks
first in size having approximately
forty thousand boys and girls in its
various clubs. Since the Extension
Department is a part of the College
system, these forty thousand boys and
girls are unofficial students of the
College. Ohio is now second in enroll
ment of its boys and girls.
Both Smith-Hughes work and Ex
tension work are for the promotion
of agriculture, but the aim of the Ex-
STUDENTS PROTEST ELIMINA
TION OF JOURNALISM SCHOOL
When the board of regents of the
University of Texas meets on May
19th it will be confronted with a pe
tition protesting against the aban
donment of the department of jour
nalism. The department was discon
tinued because Mrs. Miriam A. Fer
guson, Texas’ first woman governor,
cut from the general education bill the
$19,000 necessary for the support of
the department.
The journalism students have pre
pared a 10,000 word brief stating why
they think the school should not be
discontinued. It is stated that the
regents have power to appropriate
funds for maintenance of the school
from a nemergency fund set apart by
the legislature.—New Student.

tension Department differs from that
of the Smith-Hughes in that Exten
sion work develops that type of agri
culture suited to that particular lo
cality. The Smith-Hughes plan is to
teach the youth of the state a general
course in agriculture.
It is of interest to note that the
production by club members per acre
of corn was ten bushels more than
the average of the State; for cotton,
almost four hundred pounds more
than the average; and in grain sor
ghums, eleven and a half more
bushels than the average.
Some of the most prominent mem
bers of the student body once belong
ed to the Extension Clubs, four of the
five men of the Junior Stock Judging
Team being club members.

Architects
A DISTINCTLY new tendency is apparent in architectural
F\_ thought and design today. Architects are designing in
masses — the great silhouette, the profile of the building has
become of far greater importance than its detail.
There is a new vigor and ruggedness even in buildings which are conven
tionally classic in their detail. Masses mount upward, supporting the tower,
accentuating its height. The new architecture is tending toward great struc
tures rather than multiplicity of detail.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization,
will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.
