The other state institutions for higher education, consisting of the Girls' Industrial College, the Sam Houston Normal, the North Texas State Normal, the Southwest Texas State Normal, the West Texas State Normal, and the Prairie View Normal were all, with the exception of the last, established since 1880. The Girls' Industrial College dates from 1901 and up to 1915 it had received $756,410.54 out of the general treasury. The great growth in the expenditures for the white normals dates from 1900. Between 1900 and 1915 three of them were established and disbursements increased from $40,499.73 to $251,769.19. The total disbursed for the white normals since 1880 and through 1915 was $2,771,168.39. In 1915 provision was made for the establishment of three more normals. The Prairie View Normal for negroes is under the control of the Agricultural and Mechanical College and the College shares with the normal the funds received from the Federal government. The university fund contributed $55,600 to the support of Prairie View between 1880 and 1890. From 1880 through 1915 the disbursements out of the general treasury for this normal amounted to $747,688.47.3

1 The exact amount cannot be derived from the comptrollers' reports because of their failure to separate investment disbursements from other disbursements. The gross total of the disbursements is $536,-947.37.

2 Owing to the way in which the financial statements are drawn up in the reports of the board of directors of the College it has not been possible to include in this study any other receipts or expenditures than those given in the reports of the comptroller. This excludes the amounts received from fees and from the Federal government.

3 The amounts given for all of these institutions are of warrants drawn on the general treasury of the state.
