To prepare for a wise use ofthe leisure hours of life. Ill spent leisure is responsible foran enormous amount of the world's evil. 4. To put their services through extension lectures and correspondence courses as far as possible within the reach of persons scattered over the State who desire training, but. who cannot become resident students. The services of educational institutions should not and must not be limited to resident students. 5. To apply the technical learning of their faculties and the resources of their laboratories and libraries to the uses of business, manufacture, agriculture, and philanthropy. 6. To make contributions to the sum of human knowledge. Most people will agree to the general propositions of the foregoing paragraphs, but many Texans are not fully informed concerning the work of the State colleges, their limitations and possibilities. The two-fold object of the present pamphlet is: (1) To outline the services now being performed by the higher educational institutions of Texas and to indicate the additional services that will be performed when additional funds are provided; (2) to compare the financial status of our State higher educational institutions with that of similar institutions in certain selected states.
