School for Firemen
Is Held at A, & M.
The first annual school for fire
men was held at the A. and M. Col
lege Monday and Tuesday, under the
auspices of the Department of Chem
istry and Chemical Engineering, and
the Bryan Fire Department.
The program consisted of a variety
of helpful and constructive lectures
as well as some few demonstrations
and exhibitions given by faculty
members and delegates to the school.
It is hoped that the short course
will become an annual affair at the
college. There were 177 delegates
present.
The various methods of irrigating
and the importance of irrigation in
present day agriculture demonstrated
to the visitors by a model irrigation
system including terraced fields, will
be the highlight of the Agricultural
Engineering Department’s contribu
tion to the Engineering exhibits Sat
urday.
Other features will include various
layouts of farms, model farm build
ings, cotton strippers, farm tractors,
a combined harvester-thresher, elec
tric lighting plants, water supply
systems, and other practical squip-
ment typifying modern agriculture.

IN THIS YEAR OF
EXACTNESS
A Braeburn on the wrong man is
just as great a tragedy as the right
young man without one.
Who can afford to be without one
at thirty “five forty and forty five
dollars and with two trousers too.
