Two And Half Million Dedicated High School At Houston, Texas Houston, Texas — The trend of education for Negroes was developed here on Sunday by NEA public relations man, Mr. Mobs H. Kendrix, in an address dedicating this city’s new Phil lis Wheatley ^nior High School. Calling the structure “the finest, per student capacity, in the land,” Mr. Kendrix sug gested that Wheatley high was a $2,500,000 living monnment to Miss Wheatley as well as a land mark to a half century of progress for the Negro people of the United States. The speaker took the occasion to compliment the city of Hous ton for the erection of the school which he pointed to as an out standing example of “mutual cooperation and understanding on the part of the people of this Southwestern community.” “As we gather today,” said Mr. Kendrix, "we cannot but remember that a segment of our American population at the time of its emancipation, just three-quarters of a century ago, was only five per cent literate. Today that segment of the population is more than 90 per cent literate. “We will recall that during pre-Civil War days, in many remember that'superior to another child born first quarter of under similar circumstances. wise, we will well into the thi.ij century, Booker T.

Currently, people of my race in my home town, Atlanta, Georgia, are suing for the ad mittance of their children into all of the elementary and sec ondary schools of that city, be cause they feel that only through the abolition of segregated school patterns will their boys and girls receive equal educa tional opportunity.” National Dawson Day To Be Held InXhicago, Sunday, October 29 By JIMMY GENTRY Members of the advisory com- Chicago — On OctobfC. 29th, mittee are Marie M.
