Students Making
Trips This Week
T le 120 members enrolled in the
Range and Forestry I 401 cqrirse
are ftakittg all-day field trips this
weejt and next week in the/vicini
ty of Caldwell and Guiding's. Har
old j F. 1 Heady, insructon of the
group, is conducting the tour.
Purpose of thq trip, according
to Heady, is to give students an
l oppjjirtunity to observe range prac
tice! anil conditions in the field,
and]'to see management systems
which are now iq operation on na
tive} rgtiges. Brush eradication
practices and results will also be
observed, and some relic areas that
have had little grazing and no
plowing will be studied.
, j'Relic afeas such as these are
rare,” Heady said, “and are val
uable in determining what plants
covered the area before it was
griized intensely.”
dbunty agents of the various
counties visited are assisting Hea
dy ]pn the tour. V. C- Andrews,
ebujity agent at Caldwell, has se
lect ad the places to be studied in
tha particular area. C. A. Stone
ancj Brown 0. Spivey, county agent
at Paige and Giddings, respect-
ivejjy, planned the tours in their
locf Jities.
S jveral ranches are included op
the tour, and stops at points of
intrirest along the highway are be
ing! made.

How and why this is pertinent
to the. present situation is one of
the! points worked out between

ley, director of thri College Place-
meht Office. Arj application filed
by an A&M graduate can be sent
to the TEC office serving the area
where that student is going when
school is out. If the student’s resi
dence is in somri pther state and
he intends to return there, his ap
plication can be sejit to the State
Employment Office serving that
area, Horsley explained.
Application blanks may be ob
tained at the Placement Office in
the Administration Building, and
conjpleted forms should be return
ed' Sin person to} fhe Bryan 1 TEC
Office at 120 Ea!t‘26th Street. At
that time a representative of the

Brayton Addresses
Arson School At
Purdue University
H. R. Brayton, director of the
Texas Firemen’s Training School, i
sdjscussed “Incendiary Devices” at j
the fourth annual Arson School
held at IJurdue University last >
week.
His subject covered a lecture- j
demonstration of some of the as
pects of the chemistry of fire, na- |
tural and accidental cause of fire, i
incendiary devices of war origin, ■
and some of the common devices .
that might be used in connection ’ ■ £»
with a planned fire.
The Arson School at Purdue is
the only one of itk : kind in the
United States. It is designed to ac
quaint fire, police and investiga
tive personnel with the problems
incident to the investigation, de-
‘ection and successful nrpsecution i
( arson cases and kihdred crimes.
The Texas Firemen’s Tramipe
irogram, as directed! by Brayton
mder the Industrial Extension
Service, is operated in cooperation
with the State Board for Voca
tional Education.,
This year Brayton and the five
field instructors will hold classes
in some 150 Texas municipalRies
and enroll some 1500 men. This
