Friday evening Bluff Dale had
the privileged honor of hearing
the Girls' Glee club give their
first- (program. \The house i was
filled with a very appreciative,
audience, and the club rendered a
most delightful program, showing
much talent and earnest effort.
, The numbers given by the club
and quartet were exceptional and
were very highly .praised for their
finish:•
The: solos . given by Miss Giri-
dratt, Miss Keller and Mr.
Schmidt were most pleasing to
the audience and added much to
the evening's entertainment. • ,
The octette gave ail their en-
cores and were compelled to sing
one of their .songs over. We feel
sure that the Bluff Dale people
vveres more than pleased and
moat certainly the girls enjoyed
their tour.

FROM TRIP TO AUSTIN
For the past four weeks Dean
Davis has been; in Austin attend-
ing tp business,; and . appeared for
the 1 first time. since his return, in
chapel Tuesday morning. In a
short talk he 'told us something of
the work being done by our
graduates in the University. These
students, according to the"' regis-
trar a,t the University, are con-
sidered exceptionally .'good pupils
sevei'al of which have secured
student1 assistantships in their
second; year. ; These ' boys' and
girls are not only ipaking a name'
for themselves, - but are; putting
Tarleton on the map at the same
'time. TarletonCoileg^ is the
.highest ranking Junior College' in
Texas at tbe present fixpe. '
Dean Davis dined ^Unday with
the Tarleton' Alumni at ' Austin,
among which were C. Charnbev-
lin, D. Jackson,; S. White, and

TARLETON AN IDEAL
PLACE FOR TEACHING
- HOME ECONOMICS
AG CLUB
Faithful, members to the Ag
Club met.Monday njgbt r.ine hun-
dred strong in spite of ;thie ap-
proaching quizzes and discussed
problems to give the cluj) new life
and growth ne^t year.
So far this has been one of the
best organized and most success-
ful, organizations in^ this" institu- Bchool hi T6xas 'so adequately pre-
The new economics courses be-
ing provided in the various col-
leges can fine} W no place more
favorable opportunity 'for develop-
ment than are found here.; In the
first plape ..men and, women have
to, and ought .to five together, con-
sequently, to secure the greatest
degree Of preparation they should,
be educated together, in order that
they might hold the same general
and mutual viewpoints.. Hence,
as we see it, the coeducational in-
stitution is a more valuable factor
than a. boys.' or girls' ' school;"
Home; economics and- farm' eco-
nomics are .necessarily taught to-
gether to ,a; certain extent, ; and
the closer' they are : ^filiated the'
better .the results., Gardening,
dairying, poultry," landscape gar-
dening are all a part of rural, eco-
nomics and are to be, studied as
such. Since:Tarleton is strong in
the rural economics. work, we,
would naturally. :look for an ex-,
tension covering\ the; above, fields.^.
The fact 'that1 Tarleton is in-
terested in ir^raj''as. distinctly'set
apart from . ' ui!fian 'economics,,
makes it all- the 'more suggestive1
that the h,pm® economics course-
should be made effective in this
school.' '., > '
At the present time there-is no
tipn. They have been meeting
fvery Md ?lay night; rendering an
interesting program of talks and
(lisenssidns , on various subjects.

TARLETON vs. DECATUR
Tarleton continued' her winning
streak yesterday by 'defeating D'e-
catur in a slow game. Barnes
pitching for Decatuj1, seemed to
take plenty of time, but Jet the
Tarleton boys get tp him for 15
hits and 8 runs. Hammond pitch-
ed good ball for Tarleton and was
given aiHight support. Decatur
got 7 hits and 3 runs off of him
orary~ members *; of " thB-"club - th'tft1
have ; been with us this year and
have done much toward making
this society a success. These men
have been real helpers. .
The agricultural,/ department
rhay be likened unto the gears, of
a big machine whose \yorking
capacity .depends o-n the construc-
tipn of. the machine. Every wheel
has its place and its work tq do.
Rut there are various kinds of
wheels and chains that help to do
the work such.as thf1 main drive
wheel on down to the idler. E^ch
club or class make up one t of
these wheels. Each indiyidual
may be a cog on his wheel or a
link in some chain.
, What,part of this machine are
you ,"Mr. Usetobe Ag Club mem^
bers?" Do. you belong to the
jller which catf be dispensed with,
or do you belong to, the drive
chain that is helping to do the
work?, .. . . •
If your link is rusted'out and
you can be but a hold-back to the
welfare tof this society, we don't
need you, but if it isn't then come
to the club next Monday night
and hear an outside member dis-
cuss the vital question of the
Farm Biireau. -
• Come! . You will Jearh some-
thing worthwhile.

building at Thor,p Springs Christ-
ian College, Friday evening, April

an hour before the district meet.
Miss Robertson and Mr. Chaney .
were the contenders ,and in spite
of the public opinion favoring the >
young lady, she was lead ,one point
by Mr. Chaney.
The program: was1.opened at 8
o'clock by a piano solo,—followed
by the speaking. The speeches,
had evidently- been w,ell prepared,
and it looked as tho the final judg-
ment would be close, until Frank-

ton made a grave breakjn his-de-

too much to be remedied, l^Tr,
