A Plea for Better Country Schools in Texas
Six presidents of denominational colleges urge Texas voters to support the 1908 constitutional amendment on public free schools. The appeal argues for local self government in funding rural districts, a tax limit of 500 per 100 valuation, and longer terms, better buildings, and more trained teachers. It calls on presses to help inform the public.
