The shift from the silent, motionless, memorizing elementary school, is fast being replaced by the newer emphasis, that learning is living, and living involves a process of doing. Thus, the problem arises, to what extent parent-teachers of the elementary schools of Tyler, Texas …

Of the millions of students attending these schools today, probably six out of every seven will never attend college. It is thus apparent that …

The History Of Major Sports In The Southwestern Negro Athletic Conference From 1920 To 1947, Edgar Lee Vernon Sadberry

A Plan Of Work For The Neches-Sabine Soil Conservation District, Richard A. Moody

All Theses

At the present, the increased destruction of uncontrolled erosion far exceeds the rate of establishing corrective conservation measures. It exceeds it to such a degree as to require some sober thinking and planning on the subject. In the Neches-Sabine Soil Conservation District, we now have all of the land we will ever have. Every acre destroyed by erosion, every farm abandoned because soil fertility has been destroyed by erosion, means families cheated of a fair opportunity to make an American Standard of Living.

The area was settled in 1840 when pioneers began to clear away the timber and bring the …
