TEXAS COLLEGE BUSY
WITH NEGRO YOUTH
Austin, Texas, Jan. 11.—In the
capital city of the state, Samuel
Houston college has just finished a
very resourceful quarter in education
of Negro youth. Dean Harry W.
Greene, who spent last year in Co
lumbia university where he received
the Master’s degree in education, has
returned. The attendance in the col
lege department approaches three
hundred which proves the wisdom of
Texas Negro colleges lopping off high
school classes. Freshman week has
lent slight sobriety to sophomores as
well as freshmen. The course in
freshman fundamentals, in lieu of the
University of Chicago orientation
course of previous years, has proven
the more popular. Both academic
work and student activities, in gen
eral, have been quite rigorous.
Samuel Houston, the conference
champions of last year, may be con
sidered as having a poor season in
football, yet the school gridders were
not the tailenders. The season, how
ever, has had import in bringing to
the Texas capital and to the new
Samuel Houston $12,000 stadium
Frank Young, De Harte Hubbard, and
Cecile Cook. The city had a ten
dency to pay tribute to these noted
persons of the race, a parade was
held to which Frank Young laconic
ally said, “This is progress;” south
ern white sporting editors and Uni
versity of Texas athletes nicely as
sisted in giving attention to the ut
most and an unprecedented crowd
witnessed in the stadium impressive
work by record-holding athletes.
Among work directly for public
good, during the quarter, have beer
the appearance in November Oppor- j
tunity of Dean Greene’s article on '
Negro colleges in the southwest, the j
publication of a pamphlet on Epworth
league institutes in Texas by Prof. '
T. B. Echols, the writing of the Sun
day school lessons for the South- i
western Christian Advocate by Dr. i
J. Leonard Parmer, the editing of the ;;
city paper by Prof. J. Mason Brewer,! -

in Texas Negro high schools and col- t

it by Prof. Dean Mohr. A modest
education research bureau, which
gives opportunity for the seniors to

witness the cornerstone laying and
see what our new high school build
ing is to be.
