E. Boze of Con solidated High School attended the Mid-Winter Conference on Educa tion held in Austin Jan, 4, 5, and 6. Richardson said the conference had the largest attendance since its beginning, despite the fact there are now fewer supervisors and principals throughout the state. The number of supervisors and principals is smaller, he added, be cause many of the posts have been eliminated through consolidation of positions. The Mid-Winter Conference is a yearly affair enabling superinten dents, principals and advisors to discuss education problems exist ing in the state. Of the various subjects discuss ed, Richardson and Boze attended five discussion meetings. School Mobilization “Mobilization of Texas Public Schools,” was a discussion dealing with the problem of how new school buildings were to be constructed in case of war. The assembly not only talked of building new schools if and when a war comes about, but wrote a petition to the President asking that priority be given to building materials necessary in school-building construction. “Work Conference on Records, Reports and Audits,” had to do with the problem of eliminating some of the reports superintendents are required to fill out. Presently, Richardson said, they fill out close to 130 superintendent reports an nually. The Kellogg Foundation Plan was talked about in the discussion entitled, “Professional Education for Teachers and Administrators.” The Plan is a way for teacher in ternship somewhat similar to in ternships served by medical stu dents. “Small School Surveys,” dealt with methods for determining the size at which high schools might operate most efficiently. The other topic discussed “Teacher Certification,” featured the problem of raising Texas, re quirements for teacher certificates. This state, Richardson said, ranks 48th in teacher certification meth od, as compared to rankings as high as third in other scholastic methods. College Men To Help Stage ’51 Exposition Several citizens of College Station and Bryan will play an important part in the plan ning and staging of the 1951 Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition, Show Pres ident W. A. Lee said today. The 1951 show will he Jan. 31 through Feb. 11 in the Sam. Hous ton Coliseum and will star Wil liam (Hopalong Cassidy) Boyd and Eddy Arnold, the Tennessee Plow- boy. B. J. Baskin of Bryan again has been appointed general superinten dent for the entire livestock phase of the 1951 show and will have the job of coordinating the show ing, judging, and keeping records of every phase of the livestock de partment. Those from College Station tak ing part in the show include 0. M. Holt, area supervisor for vocation al agriculture and assistant super intendent of the market steer divi sion; J. H. Jones, professor of ani mal husbandry and superintendent of the sheep department; Ed Par nell, poultry department and super intendent of the breeding poultry show and also chairman of the Fat Stock Show poultry committee; W. J. Moore, poultry specialist and as sistant superintendent of the mar ket poultry show; and F. Z. Bean- blossom, poultry marketing spec ialist and superintendent of the turkey department. President Lee cited the fact that these men have been connected with the Houston Show for a period of years and gave them credit for the growth of the show during its 18 year history. .03 Inch Rain Setting Pace To Better December Total The saying goes, “When it rains it pours.” The heavy rains which have thus far absented them selves from this area and most of the state are doing a great deal to disprove the fact it pours whenever it rains. College Station’s first recorded precipitation of the year —.03 inches last Saturday—set the pace for bettering the total of some .10 inches on record books of the Main Station Farm for December. With a normal average of seven to eight inches in De cember, the 1950 total did very little to uphold the yearly average as did the .12 inches on record for the month of November. According to official records at the farm, the last big rain to cover this area was on June 1 with 3.45 inches on that day. A fairly substantial cloudburst of 1.33 inches was recorded in September. Other than these two, however the last six months of 1950 were quite dry. The 1950 total of 31.77 inches also compared below the regular yearly average for this area of 38.81 inches. Weather tomorrow: fair and warmer. Census Figures Challenged With Numerous CS Births Thirteen babies were born to College Station residents during the yuletide holiday, Bryan hos pitals reported.
