GIFT TO THE SCHOOL We are glad to announce to our readers the most substantial gift that has ever been offered to our school by an individual. Having an appreciation of the available scientific equipment in the department of Chemistry and being deeply interested in the welfare of our boys and girls that they might have an opportunity to look into the great field of science, the Texas Chemical Company, located in this district, comes to our assistance in a very fine way. This splendid gift comes in the form of laboratory equipment for chemistry of the latest and most up-to-date type offered to the public. The Lincoln desk is well recognized over our nation as the most suitable, commodious, and conveniently arranged chemical equipment for students which can be purchased. It was designed in one of our great educational institutions, viz., Columbia University of New York City. The idea of individual work, rather than the group, is carried out. Mr. S. Peiser, president of the Texas Chemical Company, is direct- ly responsible for this magnificent gift to the Charles H. Milby Senior High School, and we shall always be indebted to him. Mr. J. S. Deady, president of the Board of Education and officially connected with the Texas Chemical Company, is due praise and recognition in being indi- rectly responsible for this gift to our school. All of our readers will be interested in knowing that the value of this equipment installed will approximate $2,750.00. A bronze tablet has recently been placed on the wall of the chem- istry room which reveals to us the spirit and promptings of the giver. It reads as follows: DEDICATED TO “Our boys and girls that they might have a keener appreciation of Chemistry in its relation to indus- try, and that they might become more useful citi- zens. ’ Let us hope that our oncoming chemistry students may all dedicate their purpose and energy to this noble task.
