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.

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!
