Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Mill Tax for the Support of Higher Educational Institutions in Texas This bulletin has been prepared primarily for use in connection with the debates among the schools belonging to the University Interscholastic League. However, since it deals with a subject of vital interest and importance to the people of Texas at this time, it is hoped that it will be widely used by debating societies, civic organizations, and individual citizens. It should be noted that the question for debate is not the support of our higher institutions of learning. All good citizens who are informed on the subject favor the maintenance of these units in our state educational system. The question for discussion is, the method and degree of such support. Arguments on both sides of this issue will be found throughout this bulletin, oftentimes in a single article. It was therefore impracticable to separate into distinct groups the arguments pro and con. The bulletin was prepared by Edwin DuBois Shurter, Professor of Public Speaking, and R. C. Coffee, A.B., LL.B. Each school belonging to the Interscholastic League is entitled to two free copies of this bulletin, but these will be sent only upon application. For additional copies and to non-residents of Texas a charge of 15 cents a copy is made. Address Interscholastic League, University Station, Austin, Texas. In collating material for this bulletin grateful acknowledgment is made of the assistance rendered by Miss Octavia Rogan, State Legislative Librarian, who through questionnaires obtained a large part of the material bearing upon the method of supporting higher educational institutions in other states. The editors also desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to Mr. H. J. L. Stark of Orange, Chairman of the University Board of Regents, for his co-operation in the work of assembling material.
