Transportation of School Children in Brazos County
Brazos County must accelerate bus route planning for high school pupils from rural districts to Bryan. The county board of education has authority to approve routes with Deputy Supervisor Elwell and County Superintendent Neeley, and may use state aid if districts cannot pay. Madison County’s example shows plans can proceed with broad agreement, improving rural schooling and supporting consolidation away from small one room schools.

Reorganizing Brazos County Rural Schools for Efficiency
A study of Brazos County shows 27 white rural schools with many one and two teacher setups and only four engaging in high school work. The piece argues for consolidating into two or three grade schools with fireproof buildings, better equipment, and a centralized high school, likely in Bryan, supported by a routed bus system. It notes similar reforms in Harvey and cites broader national trends toward modernized schooling. The discussion ties rural education reform to costs, training, and improving youth outcomes. It ends by linking Democratic gains in Main elections to broader political shifts.

Certificates to Cotton Growers In 71 Counties
College Station September 11 Texas Cotton Allotment Board reports 71 counties have received exemption certificates and 185 counties have applications totaling 299 872. By September 20 every Texas county likely completed applications and by month end the 90 percent exemption block should be allocated. Bottleneck is machine work. machines and operators are being rented or recruited in and out of state to speed processing. Hubbard urges farmers to vote on continuing the Bankhead act via a fair referendum next season if two thirds favor a tax on cotton ginning beyond allotments. All voluntary contract signers remain obligated for 1935. consider prices if restrictions on non signers are removed. The AAA cotton program has helped raise prices from five to thirteen cents and aided economic recovery. questions remain about abandoning the South to wild cotton production and possible price ruin.
