THE SCHOOL Here in Central you have received at least a part of the training that is to make you more efficient in your place in the world. The Texas Rangers, who have occupied and now do occupy a highly important place in our state, are also trained men. The training of a typical Texas Ranger is illustrated by the bovhood of Sergeant J. B. Gillett, whose love for adventure and the great outdoors formed the basis for his service with the Rangers. Reared on the banks of the Colorado River, young Gillett learned to swim and fish when a small boy. He found a ready market for his catch on the streets of Austin. When fishing failed, Jim Gillett turned to hunting. At fourteen years of age he could fire a gun with deadly accuracy. Gillett ' s father always kept a horse, and little Jim could ride like an Indian. When eighteen years old Gillett slipped away from home to Cole- man County, where he helped drive cattle through the dangerous Indian country. Here Jim Gillett ex- perienced the free and open, but dangerous, life of the frontier, which fired him with the longing to be- come a Texas Ranger.

ni e Ranger ' s Pra37er God, whose end is justice, Whose strength is all our stay. Be near and bless my mission As I go forth today. Let wisdom guide my actions, Let courage fill my heart, And help me, Lord, in every hour To do a Ranger ' s part. Protect when danger threatens, Sustain when trails are rough, Help me to keep my standard high And smile at each rebuff. When night comes down upon me, 1 pray thee, Lord, be nigh, Whether on lonely scout, or camped Under the Texas sky. Keep me, O God, in life. And when my days shall end. Forgive my sins and take me in. For Jesus ' sake. Amen. PiKRRE BERNARD HlLL, Cbal ' hiiii, TcMis Rangers.
