R_dd, Reporter. Inadequate Number Of Teachers For Texas Children Austin, Tex., Dee. 7—(CNA) Local Negro schools have never received the propert’ouate ben efits given white schools of this city. For years, the Negro child ren of the Texas capital were taught in ill-heated, poorly ventilated shacks that were lit erally c’vie disgraces. Because tiie Negro school program has never kept pace with the grow ing Negro populati on, facilities for education are more taxed than ever before. The main building of the Gregory school was construct ed in 1900. This schoo lls locat ed in Austin’s most thickly set tled Negro community. There are now over fifty pupils per teacher. OLD SHACKS Three of the faculty conduct half'day sessions; another teacher goes to a separate room for each one of her classes. Since the original construction, of th school, only six frame rooms have been added to the main building. The enrollment of the Rose wood school increased from 64 in 1931 to 202 in 1935. The old Wheatv<dle school building, in a dilapidated condition itself, was moved across town and an nexed to the Rosewood school structure. Another old shack, located on public school property, was transported to provide a third room. The complete result is a makeshift building that is an insult to the Negro residents of Austin. ONE HIGH SCHOOL There is only one Negro high school in the city, although the parents of the students live in settlements located all over the city. During th elast five years, the enrollment of the Anderson high school has in creased by one-third, nere also, National Urban . League Celebrates Silver Jubilee New York City, Dec. 7, /ANP) —What the National Urban League has accomplished during the past 25 years and a new five year program to cost a half-mil lion dollars for prosecution and expansion were outlined at the banquet held at the Manhattan Wednesday night commemorating the 25th anniversary of the or ganization, at which 400 leading citizens from all sections of the country were present. The principal speakers were Governor Herbert H. Lehman of the State of New York; Dr. Fred erick Douglas Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute; Eugene Jones, executive secretary of the league, now on leave as Adviser on Negro Affairs to the United States Department and L. Holl ingworth Wood, chairman of the executive board, who was master of ceremonies. Seated at the speakers’ table were several members of the original board when the League was founded 25 years ago. Governor Lehman in praising the work of the League referred especially to what had been ac complished in bringing about bet ter relations between the races, declaring “It is a notable work and deserves the support of all citizens who desire that in this our country the spirit of brother hood shall finally prevail.” Achievements of the League in the placing of members of the racial groups in new fields of la bor were lauded by Dr. Patterson as he urged educational institu tions to cooperate with the League in the carrying out of the program. “When one considers said Dr. Patterson, the countless worthwhile spheres in which the League has assiduously worked' the multi-sided aspects of Negro development are not only thrown in bold relief, but there issues anew the challenge to all organ izations and programs, including education, which are pointing to ward the social-economic adjust ment of the Negro to join hands in a closely integrated program that will eliminate duplication of effort and will with a minimum of lost motion attain through the | irrestible strength of combined and harmonius action the goal which we all seek.” Mr. Jones, who had much to do with the work of the League told j four hundred guests what the ! League had done to bring about social and economic justice for the group and with Mr. Wood re lated the new program which will cost $95,000 annually for conduct and expansion and the establish ment of a permanent Ruth Stan dish Baldwin Fellowship Fund of j $25,000 in honor of the founder of the League. classrooms are overcrowded. Moreover, the facilities for physical education and indust' rial training are very poor, al-1 though it is the set policy of Southern white schoolmen to develop the Negro only as a manual laborer. The Austin Chamber of Com merce advertises the city as “the educat'onal center of the state.’’ Tt is true that the white schools rank above any others in the state. But the Negro children are helf*edueated after any convenient fashion.

Mann Playing With Fire (For the Literary Service Bureau) The question is “If you play with fire you will get burned.” It is a figure of speech but it is true beyond dispute. It has been confirmed a thousand times. Lit erally, playing with fire, one will become careless and - will, at sometime pay the penalty in being burned. Figuratively, this means trif ling with evil, indulging in for bidden pleasures, vacillating in dealing with temptations, indulg ing one’s self when he should take a positive stand against what is wrong. And the penalty is in evitable! C. 0. F. H.
