Some opinions w to tho best
plan ly which San Au-
celo can Increase
hor school
1'iiclUtlcs.
Tho Pit ess has taken occasion
since tho last issue to feel tho
public pulse on the school ques-
tion. Tho oninion is univer-
cnl tVtrmicrhout the town that
something must be done to
reliove the crowded condition ol
the public school. Tho accomo
dations are inadequate to mo
needs of this rapidly growing
community.
Tho Phess man asked quite a
number of leading representa-
tive citizens the question "what
is your opinion of incorporation
for school purposes?" and follow
ing are fair samples of tho many
answers received.
A nrnminont nhvsician who
has been here for years said
"We are compelled to have more
school room. That is an absolute
necessity and as to the best
means of getting it I believe that
incorporation for school purpos
es would perhaps be the fairest
wnv to all concerned." A lead.
ing lawyer in high official posi
tion said "It is a fact that is
patent to all wo must have more
room. We must make better
arrangements for our school
children. Incorporation I o r
school purposes seems to me to
be about the most practicable
I solution of tho problem." Awell
known" merchant said "I am in
tnvnf nf Inp.nrrin ratio f for all
purposes municipal as well as
school. I amin favor of a town
right."
Another a big retail grocer
said "I am in favor of doing
every thing needful for the
school children Incorporation
for school purposes looks like
about the easiest way to provide
tho propor remedy.
These are but a few ol tne
opinions expressed. Not one
opposed the idea and many were
infavor of incorporation lor an
purposes.
"San Angelo has a corps of teach-
ers to be proud of. Their work
is equal to the best any whore in
the state but they are at pres
ent laboring under difficulties.
Every grade and every room is
crowded to the utmost limit and
if all the children entitled to the
privilege attended every day
they could not all be seated.
San Angelo is growing without
any boom but a healthy steady
growth. Every year taxes still
further school facilities that
were no more than adequate five
years ago. The work of educa-
tion is the most important work
in any comunity. San Angelo
must do something. What hIiiiII
it be?

B. F. and H. O. Jameson Okla-
homa stock farmers were hero
last week prospecting and called
on tho Press Friday. They
wanted about 3 sections of good
farming land but did not buy.
They reported farming opera
tions in a bad way tho wheat
dying for the want of moisture.
The engine on Thursday
night's west bound broke don
seven miles out and tho train
stood on a trestle aoput two
hours until the engine-was- put
in shape to make the trip in.
A number of ladies with little
children on board were made
nervous over the delay.
T. C. Hunt and Homer Hodges
were in from Sterling City last
Friday. Mr. H. has noticed tho
Press agitation of the school
question and expressed his ap
preciation thereof. He remark
ed that San Angelo had every
thing necessary to make an edu
catioual center a town of schools
that would attract the attention
of the best people of the state
and that the proper efforts of
any paper along the line of edu
cational work would surely be
appreciated by a progressive
people.
Some Society Notes
Socially speaking San Angelo
has been far from dull during
tho past six months. There have
been numerous affairs of more
or loss prominence but here as
elsewhere dancing and cards
are tho leading diversions of
society's devotees.
San Angelo has quite a number
of nh do seiclo clubs that are
doing much for tho enjoyment of
her people socially. The San
Angelo Club porhaps heads the
list In point of members. It has
elegant club quarters with nice
library facilities and tho latest
magazines periodicals and news-
papers are always on its tables.
The membership embraces some
sixty odd names of men who are
among tho first in the various oc
cupations of the business world.
It has given many enjoyabl
Informal dances during tho sea-
son and a reception last week
that was notably successful and
pleasing.
Tho "Entre Nous" Club was
organized about four months ago
and has added much to the sea
son's pleasure. It is composed
of several of San Angelo's most
charming youug ladles and has
given two opon meetings that
were delghtful social succosses
being occasions of unalloyed
enjoyment.
Tho Twentieth Century Club
composed of many of San Ange-
la's charminir matrons has also
added no little to tho sunny side
of life during its brief existence-
Tho United Daughters of the
Confederacy is another orgoniza-
tion that has placed the people of
our eity-under obligations- forK
several very enjoyable as well as
instructive entortainmonts.
This organization has dono and
Is doing much to preserve to the
children of tho south a true ac-
count of tho valor self sacrifice
and heioism of the soldiers of
the Confederacy a heritage
that in years to come will be
claimed by a common country.
There Is also a plan on foot to
m-.mnize another purely social
club but it is not yet fully decid
ed on.
Thero is still room in San
Angelo for another club and
thero is need of it and that is a
literary club. Such a club
planned on tho right lines could
be made of vast benflt to San

Angelo. Wo have young men
and women whoBoTerpsechorean
education is without a flaw. Wo
have them also who aro past
masters in handling certain
pieces of paste board whereon
aro numerous black and red
spots and pictures of royal per-
sonages. Now whilo thoro aro
clubs whose sole purpose is to
maintain a high grade of pedal
dexterity for dancing purposes
and other clubs in which tho
failure to stop a cinch is visited
with sudden and violent death
wo have no club devoted to pure-
ly literary pursuits.
San Angelo has a number of
bright men and women who
could make a literary club a
source of wonderful improve
ment and enjoyment. Hero's
hoping she may soon havo one.
Valentine Day.
Friday February 14th tho
day sacred to tho memory of tho
good old St. Valentine was
strenuously observed in San
Angelo by tho children and
youth at least. Tho post office
did a huge business in ono cent
stamps and numberless alleg-
ed comic pictures with doggerel
vorsos wero launched on their
smile provoking mission. Por
haps other valentines of a more
sentimental nature were also
sent wo don't know how that Is
but if they wore not tho young
men wero quite neglectful of ono
ot tueir dearest privileges.

Lecture Thursday Niaht.
Tho lecturo delivered at tho
opera house last Thursday eve
ning by Matilda Fletcher was
onjoyed by quite a largo audience.
Tho lecturo was replete with wit
humor and pathos and also con-
tained much scientific informa-
tion. "The heart of a man" is a
very peculiar organ viewed from
a sentimental stand point and
the lecturer shed some light on
wiint is ni times a rather dark
""" " - 1
subject. Sho also claims to havo
diEcovered that man is an angel.
If all the women went around
talking that way the male half
of mankind would soon be wear-
in" larcor sized hats and grow
several inches in height.
Fact Is tho average woman
imagines that one of her heaven
sent missions is to prevent the
abnormal development of man's
phrenological bump of conceit
and sho goes about tho job in a
erim businesslike way that is
eminently successful and often
leaves tho victim of hor ministra
tion feeling like a nickel with a
hole in it. Wo aro cordially in
favor of Matilda Fletcher's idea
moro praise and less blame.
