McNUTT DENTIST Office in Parker Building Over Canady’s Pharmacy Phone 2-1457 Bryan, Texas Murray Appointed Military Custodian Henry E. Murray has been ap pointed military property custo dian, replacing Roy Casey, former ly acting custodian. Mr. Murray is a former student of A.&M. and hails from Austin. Before receiving his discharge from the army he was commanding officer at Bryan Field with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

College has been made an official teacher examining cen ter by the National Committee on Teacher Examinations of the Am erican Council on Education, ac cording to G'. B. Wilcox, Head of the A. & M. Education-Psychology department. Wilcox pointed out that these examinations are a measurement of knowledge and ability and the Committee does not serve as place ment agency for those taking the examinations. He also added that the examination has no direct bearing on teacher certificate eli gibility in Texas, and any aplicant or a teachers certificate must comply with all regular require ments regardless of whether or not ths examination is taken. “Although in these days of teacher shortage, the value of these examinations is not too ap parent, it is possible that in a few years almost all teaching job ap plicants will be contacted through the National Committee, thus mak ing the examinations essential to securing a good teaching job,” Wil cox said. Examinations will be given at A. & M. on February 8 and 15, with application deadline on Jan uary 8. Copyright 1946, Liggett Sc Mveju Tobacco Co.
