Grubbs visits Greenville on industrial school bill push
W. W. Grubbs editor of the Greenville Headlight and Texas legislator arrived in Greenville to promote his proposed industrial school for girls. He fears a senate amendment making the school an annex to A and M College could defeat the bill and plans to urge Bryan to raise funds to build facilities. He notes other Texas towns offered $30,000 to $50,000 to support the project and accuses opponents of backing the annex move. He then travels to Bryan to speak and to Austin the following night.
