Every night when we pick up the
Batt and settle down to supposedly
read (something interesting about
A&M, what confronts us—a bunch
of tripe about anything and every
thing^ except A&M!
I have heard that now the Batt
has the highest rating of college
newspapers; (Good work, but what
happened to the little stuff—stor
ies of Aggie’s hitch-hiking exper
iences, letters about trips to f'S-
CW and the like? Maybe such in
teresting material is a little too
uninteresting and not connected to
the world situation. A college news
paperi, in our estimation should
contain a little about the college
it renresente, or ^s that asking too
much!?
As ia last work, if space is need

do away with Mr. Twiggins? Com

year*’ teaching experience.
The nten were divided into com
mittees and each group was re
sponsible for certain sections of
the manual. In compiling their in
formation of actual work in field
with theii' technical knowledge^ the
men checked their technical ma
terial with each department con
cerned. These facts were then chec
ked, edited, and assembled by; Al
exander and Walton.
The manual has a three-fold
purpose, according to Alexander,
it is to atxiuamt the boy and! his
parent^ with the Vocational Agri
culture program, to assist each boy
in determining the possibilities of
making money on separate types
of projects, and to serve as a quick
hanuy reference for the boys.
Success of the publication i has
been mote than anticipated. At
the August, 1947 conference of 564
Texas Agriculture teachers, the
manual received unanimous appro
val. The copyright was then given
to the Texas Vocational Teachers
Aniporifljm.
The sale of this manualhas al-
ready hit the 25,000 mark, Alex
ander sUted. Teachers in vetjer-
an schools are wanting at least
one copy for L “
