State Committee Urges School System Overhaul in Texas
The Governors Committee on Public Education releases The Challenge and the Chance urging Texas to overhaul its education system within ten years. It cites historic mediocrity, but predicts a window of opportunity from enrollment stability, a 60 percent economic surge, and a teacher supply boom. Proposals include flexible state aid, expanded vocational and preschool programs, higher salaries with tenured planning time, and a 12Grade district system with regional TEA offices. The plan requires about 126 million dollars annually over ten years, offset by stable enrollments and growth in tax revenue.

Duck hunting in Texas has evolved from Gulf and river trips to stock tanks. With more ponds, fewer ducks, and lower limits, the new sport emphasizes two methods: conventional decoy hunting and stalk shooting. Decoys should be fresh and placed five yards from shore at daybreak. stalk shooting works best on windy days with two or three hunters. The article notes the sport remains enjoyable and practical despite changes in ducks and method.
