Sanders, doing business under the name of The Sanders Company Advertising at El Paso, Texas, will qualify a corporation and continue to do business under the name of The Sanders Company Advertising, Inc. DAVID E. SANDERS d/b/a The Sanders Company Advertising OFF-BEATNIKS Advocates Wade Sirs: …You state that D. A. Henry Wade of Dallas is memtioned less and less for the attorney general’s office. I wish to say I have been on my own over the state talking for Henry Wade for attorney general at the high level, and at the low level, and I have nothing but good news that attorney Henry Wade will take the open green light well in hand, if and when he says he would like the attorney general’s office. Jesse R. Morgan, 7412 South Beckley, Dallas 32. Pre-School for All Sirs: I am a thorough believer in the extension of education downwardgood education, that is. For the goose and for the gander. Six weeks, three months, a year of pre-school education would be a boon in the education of all children. Because I believe that such a downward extension of schooling is highly desirable for all, I hate to see such a privilege restricted to any one class, ethnic group, race, or class apart of any sort. This is sheer discriminationthis is that I call genteel segregation. * Corpus Christi voters approv ed $5 million in bonds for sewers, streets, drainage, airport leasing, a new hospital, and water development and turned down $220,000 worth of bonds for parks, a yacht basin, and additional swimming pools. Said Mayor Ellroy King, “The same thing happened in 1953 when we offered a large park bond issue as part of a multi-million dollar program only to see the park bonds fail. The people apparently today have reiterated that they are willing to approve the essential things but not the things that are only highly desirable.” * A 38-year-old seaman, des cribed by the Houston Press as “mild-mannered,” was fined $1,650 for traffic violations and consigned to the city prison farm for 550 days to work off his debt. Five violations for driving with out a license dating back to 1956, plus infractions for running red lights, negligent collision, failure The Way of Life to stop and give information, and traveling 25 miles an hour in a 15 mph zone each cost $100-$200 in fines. The clerk of the court said it was the highest fineby $500 he’d ever seen assessed. * The city of Houston went out of the oil business when a well dug on the city prison farm after 30,000 barrels and a $25,000 profitran dry. * A variation on the man bites dog theme, the Houston Press topped its society page with a six column, two lined head read ing, “Houston Socialite Buys Cuernavaca House From French Marquis and Inherits Tri-Lingual Poodle.” A news story in the same edition related that “Eight year old Russell Marino, son of Mrs. and Mrs. Joe Marino, 1201 Elliston, was voted ‘All American Regular Boy’ by the Williard Brown Boy Building Organization. THE TEXAS OBSERVER Page 7 September 4, 1959 Summer sessions for non-English-speaking children are, of course, good for themas they would be for English-speaking Negro children, for so-called Anglo children, for all children. However, to justify such sessions on the grounds of foreign mothertongue is naiveand dangerous. Even on the assumption that “language handicap” \(and God reason-for-being of the program, by what authority is it assumed further that the child with a Spanish-vernacular, for instance, is the only one with such a handicap? Put otherwise: the only one privileged to receive the benefits of a special educational offering? Or, conversely, the only one so tainted by his lack of linguistic development that he must be put in a sort of isolation ward until he mends his ways? Further, if “language handicap” can be removed in a few short weeks during the summer, why can it not be removed in a few short weeks during the regular year? Isn’t this an admission that the program during the regular year is below par, and that it has to be bailed out by the insertion of a prior summer session? Williard Brown, with a college degree in psychology, and a former boxing champion himself, builds character, confidence, sportsmanship and coordination in boys by scientific boxing and body building methods.” A disgruntled Charles Riley, three-time winner of the Padre Island Walkathon sponsored by the Corpus Christi Jaycees, complained after being disqualified: “These Jaycees don’t know how to run a Walkathon. The judges have never seen a real one. I overheard the judges say before we started that ‘we’ll see to it Riley doesn’t win this year.’ ” * The city of Waxahachie seethed with civic discord and promise of the first recall election in municipal history after Mayor Roland Fincher broke precedent to veto an ordinance passed by the city council. Point of controversy: whether to limit water skiing on the nearby lake. In an article in Harper’s en titled “Whatever Happened to Texas?” in which he reminisces about De Leon, his birthplace, and other places in the state, and in general suggests that Texas was unselfconsciously progressive when he was a boy, William S. White begins with disclaimers he is not a friend of the depletion allowance, vulgar oil billionares, never shot a deer from a Cadillac, and never went to “one of those Texas parties.” In that case, why condemn children, with or without the benefit of a summer session, to such programs? Put differently, why not spend the summer session budget in improving the regular program rather than on carrying out a summer program that, even at best, is a manifestation of a warped educational philosophy and of a thoroughly amateurish concept of pedagogy? The attempt to justify these summer sessions with wrong reasons poses a very , real danger. Are those non-English-speaking children who do not attend summer sessions to be thought of as intellectual cripples, as pariahs not fit to associate with those who know a few hundred labels in English condemned to slower educational development than their more fortunate fellows? Are these summer sessions to be used to explain away the failure of the schools to do a decent educational job for these children in the regular program? And, mind you, a decent job can be done, has been done, and is being done by good school systems all over the map, time and again, in the regular program. For those schools that do not do a decent job, the only thing that I can say is that a summer session is not going to make a silk purse out of sow’s ear. I have been amazed and shocked at the naivete manifested in the matter. Like multitudes of others in the United States, I knew no English when I started schoolwith no ill effects. Then, too,. I have thirty-six years of professional experience in this field and have some standing as a knowledgeable person in this area of education. I say, categorically, that the fact that a child speaks only a foreign home-language when he starts school is no measure of his language development or of his need for special remedlal reatment. I say, further, that such a child can make normal progress in our public schools without anything more special than a good school. To low-rate him because the schools are not good is hardly cricket. To treat a child to genteel segregation because he knows only Spanish is a frightening distortion of good intentions. Then, too, to attach the idea of deficiency and handicap to so beautiful and valuable a language as Spanish hardly fits in with modern educational thought and national policy. For those wellintentioned souls who have endorsed these programs one can only ask forgiveness, for they know not what they do. George I. Sanchez, Chairman, Department of the History and Philosophy of Education, University of Texas, Austin. HOUSTON Capitalize, italicize, and bold face a statement, it loses empha sis. Large truths drown in the shearing tides of overstatement and too much denial. Walking downtown Houston is a content less experience. Times Square is like passing so many open cess pools, but cesspools with currents; Houston is vertical and stale, like a dream of walking through a city after radiation has killed everybody. The people are real, but they seem to be walking away. I am told there is a revul sion approaching the strength of a movement; one friend told me she has not been downtown twice in the last year. The blocks are taken up by corporations \(Fo ley’s, Humble parking lots, shops, movies, and moneylenders. There is no warmth. The signs of the parking lots bleat price, price, price; the still, shouldered corporation buildings suggest some kind of bondage; there is one large office building with no windows at all; even the things to buy in the shops seem saturated in the material purposes so readily available to all of us. Thus walking downtown Houston brings to life the cliche, we are a money culture. Too much; but the truth, though hackneyed, is strong. THE BOOKSTORE at Foley’s seems very well stocked in junk novels and children’s books, and the Lending Library for Frustrated Matrons there does a lively trade; they also have Lolita, from which one may conclude what one may. A stranger might not find Brown’s Book Store at all without a friend to direct him there. Even Brown’s, a good bookstore, is wearying; the same paperbacks, Modern Library, the boxed sets you can get free from the book clubs, and Columbia Encyclopedia; politics and economics; a gook:. poetry section; the extensive technical, scientific, and How to Make Unimportant Things section. There was also a display of a book, Maya, by one Charles Gillencamp, advisor to a Houston museum of natural history, who is shown on the back cover
