EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Last spring the TSHA, in cooperation with the Harris County His-
torical Society, the Harris County Heritage Society, and the San Ja-
cinto Museum of History Association, held two series of seven lectures
on the Texas Experience to 1865. One series was given at the down-
town Houston Public Library on Mondays at noon, and the second set
was presented on the same day in the evenings at the Kinkaid School.
Since the lectures were so well received, the groups mentioned above,
joined by the Houston Metropolitan Research Center, will cosponsor
a series on the Texas Experience from i865 to the present.
In Dallas this fall, the Association, Dallas Historical Society, and
Dallas Heritage Society will cosponsor the Texas Experience to 1865.
A similar series of lectures will be given in San Antonio next spring.
In the Alamo City the cosponsors will be St. Mary's University, the
Bexar County Historical Committee, and the San Antonio Conserva-
tion Society.
In June, in cooperation with the Department of History at the
University of Texas, Austin, the Association offered the tenth annual
Institute of Texas Studies. Forty-seven school teachers attended the
two-week graduate interdisciplinary program. The faculty and the
