Delegates Learn School Problems Two of the state’s top educa tion officials warned the 500 dele gates of the School Administra tors and Supervisors Conference at A & M about upcoming public school problems. Chiefly, the problems centered around selection of textbooks, op eration costs and student enroll ment trends. The speakers were Dr. J. W. Edgar, Texas Education Agency commissioner of education, and L. P. Sturgeon, public relations di rector of the Texas State Teach ers Association. Both speakers urged the school administrators to become familiar with the textbook hearings being held over the state and with any future state legislation regarding textbook adoptions. Dr. Edgar said he had attended several of the textbook hearings. He added that the next session of the Texas Legislature will prob ably discuss the textbook issue. “The public hearings have in volved more talk about the dan gers of the ‘isms’ rather than text books,” Dr. Edgar commented. He added that he felt the people voic ing objections to proposed books were sincere. Sturgeon said any move to abol ish free textbooks would not solve the problem, considering the aver age cost per student would be about $30 annually. “Also imagine the problems you would have with no standard text books with students moving from district to district,” Sturgeon com mented. Edgar and Sturgeon were among the speakers during the three-day conference that ended Wednesday. Regarding school costs, Edgar pointed out that expenditures dur ing the next biennial will exceed $l-billion in public schools. The figure does not include costs of state institutions of higher learn ing. “The cost of education in Tex as,” Sturgeon said, “has doubled within the last 10 years. It will double again by 1970.” The TSTA official added that $90-million in new revenue must come from state sources in the next biennial. Sturgeon said local tax reve nues, in addition to state funds, must increase to cover future edu cational costs. “I’ve never been a federal aid man myself,” he remarked, “but unless local school districts are willing to pay, the state may have to turn to the federal government. “The only other alternative would be to satisfy ourselves with a second rate educational system.” Edgar also noted the increasing number of pupils and the need for additional teachers to cope with the expected enrollment growth. Last year, Edgar pointed out, 5,320 emergency teaching certifi cates were issued. The figure in cludes only about 1 per cent non degree holders, however. SUSPICIOUS FLIGHT TUCSON, Ariz.

VI The improvements in each unit constitute an entirely separate district and independent unit, and the proposed assessment for the improvement in each unit are in no wise c affected by any fact or circumstance in connection with any other unit all to the same extent and as fully as if entirely separate proceedings had separate hearings, and separate notices thereof ordered. VII The City Secretary of the City of College Station is directed to give notice to the owners of property abutting upon the said portions of streets named to be improved and to all others interested, of the time, place and purpose of such hearings and of all matters and things by causing a substantially correct copy of this ordinance to be pub lished at least three times in a newspaper published in and of general circulation in the City of College Station, Texas, the first of which publication shall be made at least ten days before the date of such hearing, and by such publication all owners of property abutting upon said portions of said streets and avenues, whether such owners he named herein or not and whether the property be correctly described herein or not, as well as to all others in any wise interested therein or to be affected thereby, shall be and are duly notified and no error or mistake in the name of any property owner, in the description of any property or in the amount of any proposed assessment shall in anywise affect or invalidate such notice or any assessment levied pursuant thereto, ’and the real and true owners of such abutting property shall be and are by such notice duly and fully notified. The City Secretary is further directed, but not required to give further notice of such hearing by causing a substantial copy of such published notice to be mailed to each owner of property abutting upon such portions of said streets and avenues, but all such notices by mail shall be only cumulative of such notice by advertisement and publication, and said notice by advertisement and publication shall in all cases be sufficient and binding whether or not any other kind or character of notice be given. VIII The present condition of said portions of streets and avenues endangers health and public safety, and it is necessary that the im provements thereof be proceeded with at once and while the weather will permit, and such facts constitute and create an emergency and an urgent public necessity requiring that the rules and provisions for ordinances to be read more than one time or at more than one meeting be suspended, and requiring that this ordinance be passed as and take effect as an emergency measure, and such rules and provisions are accordingly suspended and this ordinance is passed as and shall take effect as an emergency measure and shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage.

(AP Wire- photo) Research Proves Factors Affecting Broiler Blisters Beating broiler breast blisters will mean the difference between Grade A or Grade C birds, a A&M professor told delegates to the an nual Poultry Conference. Dr. Cecil B. Ryan, associate pro fessor of Poultry Science, said re cent research has proven a num ber of factors affecting blisters. He pointed out that breast blis ters are becoming more serious today with “fast growing birds and high quality feed rations.” t Research shows that body weight, age at marketing, feather 'cover and sex of the animal are among the factors involved. Three Aggies Win Awards In Vet Medicine Two of the A&M graduates in veterinary medicine won national honors and a third student won regional honors in the National Board Examination, officials of the School of Veterinary Medicine here have been advised. The three students received their degrees late in May. and 24 other A&M students com pleting their studies in veterinary medicine voluntarily took the ex aminations in April on the Okla homa State University campus. All passed. Harry P. Dodge, son of Wilson T. Dodge of 2209 Oldham Street, Austin, tied with another student in the group for the top score in. the entire examination. He also was top scorer in the Bacteriolo gy-Parasitology and Surgery fields, two of the eight subject matter areas included in the ex amination. A 1955 graduate of Stephen F. Austin High School in Austin, he plans to accept a U.S. Army commission as first lieu tenant. Barry S. Phillip, son of George L. Phillip of Route 2, Richmond, was the top scorer in this region in Anatomy and tied for top score in the nation. He graduated from Lamar Consolidated High School at Rosenberg in 1948. He plans to enter private practice in Rosen berg. Steven S. Nicholson was the top scorer in Medicine and tied for national high in that area of sub ject matter. He is the son of W. C. Nicholson of Rt. 4, Robstown, and a 1956 graduate of the College Academy in Corpus Christi. His plans have not been announced. A veterinarian, to practice in Texas, is not required to take the National Board Examination, but 27 members of .t h e graduating class at A&M wanted to do so and made the trip to the Oklahoma State campus in April. The National Board Examina tion is compiled by a professional examining service and is adminis tered by the official licensing ! board of the state.
