Art Moves Forward
The states having art leadership have incre ased rapid-
ly during the past year. This growing recognition by
tile state education departments adds national impetus
to art education. With Federal funds available to aid
the art programs and with the appointment of a Texas
Fine Arts Commission, greater progress is anticipated in
the arts in Texas.
One accomplishment tllrough the aid of Federal funds
is thle addition of fifty art teachers in Texas during tile
past year under Title I of tile Elementary and Second-
ary Education Act.
The money available to state education agencies
through the National Foundation on the Arts and Hu-
manities Act is of interest to art teachers. All available
funds have been alloted to art for tile first two years.
Local schools must match these funds which are available
for purchasing eligible equipment. School superinten-
dents may request information by contacting the Division
of Program Approvals, Texas Education Agency, Austin,
Texas. Although the amount alloted to Texas is not
great, it is the largest to be received by any state. Funds
were also appropriated through this act for setting up
fine arts commissions in states. Governor Connally re-
cently appointed a Texas Fine Arts Commission, and on
August 23 the members of this commission were given
the oath of office in the Governor's Office by Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, Joe Greenhill. Mr. JohnBen Sllepperd, clhairmalln of thlis co lllission, will he tlhe
