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. OP)—A Tucson
policeman radioed for help after
he spotted a man running down the
street near the University of Ari
zona one night.
Moments later, the call was can
celed. The man hadn’t been a bur-
g-lar after all. He was just flying
a kite.

named Triton and Nereid.
promptly as the same matures the entire assessment shall be collectible
together with reasonable attorney fees and cost of collection, if incurred.
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.

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,

enter private practice in Rosen
berg.

tion is compiled by a professional
