WHAT SHALL TEXAS DO WITH ITS
BOYS AND GIRLS
The State's most profitable resource is its million and a
quarter young boys and girls. Forty percent of Texas youth
of high school age are not in school, according to a statement
by Dr. Homer Price Rainey, president-elect of Texas Uni-
versity. Only one Texas youth in three is graduated from
high school and Texas spends 25 percent less per pupil than
the national average. . , .
Particularly urgent are the educational needs of the rural
youth, which represents 56 percent of all the Texas youth.
There are 150,000 unemployed youth in the state, ol
these 40,000 are in CCC camps or working on WPA or NY A
projects-r-or an average «f less than one in four.
From 90 to 100 thousand Texas youths come upon the
labor market each year and face from six to eighteen montflf
of unemployment and truly this places a heavy strain upoj
morale. . ,, , , .
Recreation for the youth of Texas is sadly lacking, ano
the field of health is far from satisfactory
Anv effort made to contribute toward the removal of th'
unemployment hazards from the lives of Texas young peop
will indeed be a step in the right direction. •
