The award cited distinguished service in promoting progress of education in Texas. Dr. Edgar, 65, was accorded the honor by state school admin istrators, county superintendents, and instructional supervisors as sociations in conference at Texas A&M. “Dr. Edgar has served longer than any other man as chief ad ministrator of education in Tex as," commented Dr. W. W. Jack- son of San Antonio. He present ed the award at the final assem bly of the three-day conference. Jackson, former chairman of the board that appoints the com missioner, said Dr. Edgar gives "exceptional talent, insight and unusual sensitivity to the local schools’ desire for autonomy” to the position. "He has the rare ability of hav ing the complete confidence of his staff, people at the state and local levels and the 21 State Board of Education members,” Jackson declared. The “Golden Deeds” award plaque was presented following an annual report on the status of Texas education to conference participants by Dr. Edgar and L. P.
