Barley Credited For
Success of Summer
Cotton School Course
Much of the credit for success
of the 35 summer cotton schools
which have been held by the De
partment of Agronomy of Texas
A&M College belongs to J. B. Bag-
ley, professor of cotton marketing
who is rounding out his 39th year
on the College faculty, Dr. Luther
G. Jones, acting department head,
declared today.
Professor Bagley came to Texas
A&M College first in 1905 after
having received his scientific edu
cation at Wake Forest College
and North Carolina Textile School,
and four years’ experience with the
Roanoke Rapids Cotton Mills. Aft
er two years here as instructor of
textile engineering he went to
Mississippi State College in the
same capacity in 1907, but returned
in 1908 and headed the Texas A&M
Department of Textile Engineering
until the department was discon
tinued.
He will assist Harold B. Con
nolly in the course of instruction
for the 36th annual summer cot
ton school to be held by the De
partment of Agronomy May 28 to
July 7, Dr. Jones said.
Mr. Connolly is eminently fitted
for teaching cotton classing, selec
tion and mill preparation, Dr.
Jones said, as he has had a long
and successful career as a cotton
classer and buyer.
The slate of outstanding auth
orities on various phases of cotton
production and research yho will
be brought in to give lectures to
the 1945 summer cotton school on
their special subjects is about com
pleted, Dr. Jones announced.
A firebreak is a fort from which
to attack fires.
Interrupted Flow of
Trained Men Causes
Concern, Says Brooks
I The fact that the war has so
greatly interrupted the flow of
trained men into technical and
scholarly service and that the man
power policies of the United States
have done so little to lessen the dif
ficulty has caused grave concern
in many fields, Dean T. D. Brooks
said Wednesday. To reestablish
such a flow, particularly in the
fields of research and teaching, is
a major problem of “reconversion.”
A very definite expression of
concern about this problem is the
grant of special funds by the
Rockefeller Foundation to the
National Research Council and to
the Social Science Research Coun
cil to make possible grants es
pecially to young men who have
been pressed into the war-time re
search program or have had their
training interrupted by military
service.
These grants, which will be made
in amounts determined by the need
of the individual applicant, will be
available only to those who have
had considerable graduate training
and who have evidenced superior
ability. Pre-Doctoral grants will
not be made to men more than
thirty years of age. Post-Doctoral
grants will be limited to men
under thirty-five.
The Rockefeller Foundation is
also making grants direct to supe
rior students of the humanities.
Dean Brooks thinks it likely
that some of the College staff now
on leave may be interested, and
that their attention may be directed
to the opportunity by friends who
read this item. He will be glad to
help interested parties get in touch
with the officers of the Councils.
Worship Program to
End Presbyterian
Bible School Saturday
The vacation Bible school of the
A. & M. Presbyterian Church,
which is under way at the Con
solidated High School, will close
Saturday morning, June 9, with a
worship service conducted by the
children who have attended. A
play, songs, and display of work
done during the week’s school will
feature the program.
Parents and friends of the child
ren are invited to inspect the hand
work displays beginning at 8:30
a.m. and to join in the worship
service at 9:00 in the Music Room
of the high school. Refreshments
will be served after the worship
program.
Approximately 65 children, rang
ing from 4 years to high school age,
ai’e enrolled at the school. Mrs.
Frank Anderson is general direc
tor, and' her assistants are: Mrs.
Roy Carpenter, Mrs. A. R. Kemmer-
er, Mrs. Jack Miller of San Saba,
Mrs. Albert Stevens, Mrs. Norman
Anderson, Mrs. Raymond Rogers,
Miss Shirley Hampton, Miss Joyce
Patranella, Mrs. J. R. Hillman,
Mrs. Garland Brown, and Miss
Paula Woodard.
Reservations Still
Taken For Aircraft
Mechanics Course
Some reservations still are being
taken for the first full scale course
in aircraft and aircraft engine
mechanics to be offered at the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas starting June 4 and
running 40 hours per week for the
next 20 months, Robert M. Pinker
ton, head of the Aeronautical En
gineering Department, has advised.
Instruction will be given joint
ly by the Department of Industrial
Education and Aeronautical En
gineering. About half the course
will be devoted to aircraft engine
studies and the other half to the
aircraft frame. Satisfactory com
pletion of the course should enable
the student to take the Civil
Aeronautics Administration li
censing examination, Pinkerton
said.
Students taking the aircraft and
aircraft engine mechanics course
will live in dormitories and take
meals in the dining hall at the
same rate as regular college stu
dents. They will not be required
to pay tuition fee, but will pay a
nominal hospital fee which will
entitle them to use as needed of
hospital facilities. They will fur
nish their own text books, which
Pinkerton said will cost about
$10.00 for the full course.
“This is a grand opportunity
for any boy who likes to work
with airplanes,” Pinkerton said,
“More and more responsibilities in
future years will be thrown upon
CAA licensed mechanics to keep
planes air worthy. The boy who
gets his training now is making
an investment toward his future
that will pay many fold.”

The 17th annual short course for
cottonseed oil mill operators which
will be held at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Texas
June 11-16 is the result of long
years of close cooperation between
the Texas Cottonseed Crusher’s
Association and the Department
of Chemistry and Chemical Engi
neering of the College.
It also has the cooperation of
the Oil Mill Machinery and Supply
Association which will be guests
of the short course June 14 and 15,
and the National Oil Mill Superin
tendents’ Association which will
hold its annual meeting following
the short course banquet the night
of June 14.
Registrants will be divided into
several groups and will alternate
between and laboratory work in
the new Cottonseed Products Re
search Laboratory so that each
person will have an opportunity to
participate in all phases of the
work, F. F. Bishop, professor of
Chemical engineering and director
of the short course, has announced.
The Texas A. & M. College,
A demonstration of airplane
crash firefighting highlighted the
sixteenth annual firemen’s school
held at Texas A. & M. College,
May 28 to June 1. Over 500 fire
men and instructors registered at
the school, which was designed for
training both military and civilian
firefighters.
Four hundred gallons of gasoline
and oil were poured on a wornout
B-24 bomber and ignited in each
of three operations Wednesday,
May 30, at the drillfield. Rescue
through the cooperation of oil mill
machinery manufacturers, is re
placing its old oil mill machinery
with new and modern equipment as
rapidly as priorities are obtained.
Several new pieces of up-to-date
equipment have been secured since
the 1944 short course.
Registration for the cottonseed
oil mill operators short course will
begin June 10 and business meet
ings are scheduled for an early
start June 11, Bishop said.
demonstrations were staged by
crash firefighting trucks and
crews from Bryan Field, Randolph
Field, and Brooks Field, each crew
using a different type of equip
ment.
Another feature of the firemen’s
school was a demonstration of safe
handling in transport and delivery
of butane gas, conducted by J. W.
Martin of the Lone Star Gas Com
pany. H.t R. Brayton, of the A.
& M. College chemistry depart
ment, acted as director of the
training school and spoke May 28
on the new fire hazards created by
the increased use of plastics in
building materials and everyday
articles. Olin Culberson, state rail
road commissioner, discussed the
topic “Looking Ahead with the
Volunteer Fire Department” on
Tuesday. Using a small model
home with removable roof and
ceilings, P. W. Clooney, assistant
fire marshal of Houston, pointed
out 35 common fire hazards in the
typical residence at the Thursday
meeting. Frank Williams, chief of
field instruction for the school,
supervised a written examination
given Friday.
Intended primarily for firemen
in small towns and rural are^s,
the school was divided into four
courses of instruction: the basic
course, fire department instructor’s
course, fire marshal’s course, and
Red Cross first aid course. Any
community represented by a fire
man who completes any of the
courses satisfactorily received a
three per cent credit in fire in
surance rate. The school for fire
men is conducted each year by the
Texas A. & M. Chemistry depart
ment under auspices of the Texas
Firemen’s and Fire Marshals’ As
sociation.
