The 100th birthday of the pub-
lic school sysW-n fails on January
31, but the observance i<; scheduled
j to last all year because there is
so nrfuch to celebrate.
Today's Texas public schools are
a far cry from Iheir humble begin- j
ning back in 1854, when the per j
capita payment was 62 cents and !
the permanent school fund was j
started with an initial endowment
of $2,000,000. The per capita pay- '
ment has now grown to $ti3 and I
the permanent school fund to $249,- I
016,781.
In the same state where young- I
sters used to be considered lucky I
if they were given three or four j
months of schooling a year, a mini-j
mum foundation program now
guarantees every child a minimum |
of nine months of school each
year.
Despite these vast improvements,!
Texan's have not yet achieved the j
goal outlined by their forefathers, j
The Texas Education Agency, the j
Texas State Teachers Association, i
the Texas Congress of Parents and j
Teachers and other participating
groups hope the centennial cele-
bration will renew the interest of
the general public in its 'schools and
lead to additional improvements. t
It was on January 23, 1054, that
a group of Texans converged on
Austin for a mass meeting. "We
will not only be the Empire State ;
in point of territory," they solemn-
ly resolved, "but in the number,
and excellence of our institutions
of learning."
It was a bold boast from a young j
state—one which had been admit-
ted to the Union less than nine
years before. But just eight daysj
later, the Common School Law was'
enacted. It established the free!
public school system of Texas. !
"It was the first mile of a long
road—still under construction —
that leads to happines and pros-!
perity,' Executive Secretary Char-:
les H. Tennyson of the Texas State >
Teachers Association said recently.
"It is a well traveled road, with
traffic increasing at an astounding
rate. There are 72,000 more chil-
dren traveling on it now, for in- i
stance, than there were a year
ago."
