PROGRESS IN EDUCATION
One hundred years of growth and progress in education is being called
to the attention of Texans this year. Through pageants, parades, lectures,
news stories, radio and television programs, and every available media—
the story of educational progress in Texas since 1854 is being told. In this
issue of the TEXAS STANDARD, we present the Negro phase of this
development.
Our schools separate, but never equal, have come a long way in the
direction of the goal of equal opportunity for all. From the Freedmen
Schools of the early 70's to the modern educational plants of 1954; from
readin', writin', and 'rithmetic taught by any means that could be impro-
vised, to the modern curricula of today's schools; from slates and blue back
spellers to free textbooks and well equipped libraries; from meager be-
ginnings in higher education to the vast opportunities offered by the
University of Texas—our progress has been noteworthy and inspiring.
Articles in this issue: "Freedmen Schools," "Galveston's Central High,"
"The Young and the Brave," "Not Without Struggle," and others, point
up our present position and the road over which we have come.
Today, Negro youth stand on a threshold of progress undreamed of
by our forefathers. They have many opportunities, some so new that
we do not yet grasp their full meaning.
Only through proper understanding and careful guidance can this
progress be of ultimate benefit and value to ourselves and the world.
