EXPENDITURES
'For the benefit of the student body, an itemfsed statement com
prising the expenditures per term has been compiled and is presented
here. It is hoped that this statement will succeed in explaining the
hitherto unexplained dis|K>sition of the funds rolUcted from each stu
dent each term under the heading of Matriculation Fee aad Mainten
ance Fee
A total sum of $9&00 is paid to the college by each student per
term far maintenance. Of this sum 189.26 goes tx> the mess hall for
food and the remaining $6.7^maintains the laundry service. This sum
provides s daily ration allowance of $0.71. per Hk
The college catalogue describes the Matriculation Fee as covering
the cost of certain incidental supplies and allowing the students the
use of the library. The laws of Texas provide for A maximum Matricu
lation Fee for state-supported educational instRAtions of $30.00 for
the entire year, but so far this school has <tea4egad to stay with
in a $25.00 maximum. The State Legislature in racking appropriations
expects the Matriculation Fee to cover numerous items for which it
makes no appropriations. These items in connection with this college
have been itemized and listed as follows:
ESTIMATED INCOME:
First Term. 2000 students ^ $16.00
Second Term, 1726 old students $10.00 ....
Second Term, 60 new students £ $15.00
I

rs would be appointed by the President with the approval of the
Legislature, with lifr tenure of office for six members, And six year
terms for the remaining three, one of these terms to expire every two
years. These men w ould be nationally recognised as leaden* in the field
of education and would be equipped to assume the responsibilities of
such vitally important positions. Each state would be divided into dis
tricts with a local governing board in charge of MMty fiientional dis
trict. This local board would be directly responsible to the main gov
erning board in Washington. Other administrative details could he
easily worked out, end it is believed that the above plain is entirely
iMMte j • - it »j i- n ri
In the matter of revenue, certain taxes would be set aside for the
use of education only. An estimate would be made by competent ex
perts of the funds heeded for the maintenance of national education
and this amount could be set aside by an Act of CongrUss, not to ha
touched for any other purpose A yearly budget would be comprised
and maintained by the governing board, providing tor no surplus re
mailing at the end of the year.
This plan affords national handling of educational affairs by men
equipped specifically for this purpose. If educstioaal evils of the pres
ent day are to be eliminated, place this stupendous task in the hands
of’Ete educationalist!

EDUCATION
l
A vital problem confronting the American public of today is edu
cation. -Revenue for the promulgation of the educational policies of
| this country- is lacking, and on all sides the hue ati4 cry for additional
texation is being raised. Rural schools are being run for oaiy four and
six month terms; the teachers in the large city primary schools and
i high schools sometimes go for months without I>ay( the instructors
in the state-supported institutions of higher education are often being
paid in script with a resulting high interest rate they must pay if the
cash value is to be realised at once. These conditions might easily be
called the “Crime of the early 1930’s” just as the abolition of the free
•coinage of silver has often been referred to as the '‘Crime of 1873."
To what causes can this existing situation $e I attributed ? There
Are two main causes which may be listed in the order of their impor
tance as follows: the interference of politics, and religious restrictions.
If education was placed above the reach of politi<ians, the resulting
conditions would provide all that is now lacking in the educational
policy that this country is trying to maintain. The quest ion is raised:
Where does the church enter in? Public schools cannot compete with
church schools in the wsy of equipment and salaries for the faculty
and administrative officers, ss the sectarian schools charge a tuition
fee that provides an ample fund for these items,; Yet these sectarian
institutions are complaining of the lack of a tuiiion fee in the man-
1 agement of state-supported institutions, and even now Ri is rumored
that plans are under- way in the Legislature of tjkis State to legalixe
the extortion of such a fee from students in the ffture.
A solution presents itself: Place education In the hands of the
educationalist! Bar the politicians and religious Riaatics and funda
mentalists from meddling in s sphere outside their natural scope and
then the bane of education will be lifted. How Is ibis to ba done? The
'■> answer unfolds in a clear, concise, and logical form
Education has attaiaed such gigantic proportions that it should be
dealt w ith as a national problem. This problem can be handled by the
national government by increasing the number *f administrative of
fices from three to four, namely: executive, legislative, judicial, and
educational. 1 .’’I |j|
This proposed educational branch would operate in much the same
! fashion as the judiciary branch operates today. A board of nine mem-
VITHEN amokers keep buying the
T ▼ same cigarette day after day.. -
it*a a pretty good sign that they’re
getting what they want... mildness»
better taste—a smoke that’s alway*
the same.
So we’re going right on making
(.hesterfields just as we always have.)
. .. selecting choice, ripe tobaccoe
. . . ageing them . . . blending and
cross-blending them... making them
into cigarettes in the most scientific
ways that are known.
As long as we do these things we
know that smokers will continue to
say,“They Satisfy**. For that’s what
people are saying about Chesterfields.
If you smoke, why not find out
about them? A package or two will
tell you the whole story.
