(Associated Press.)
DALLAS Texas. Dec. 2. A dis-
crimination between white and negro
school children in the use of State
funds i charged in the report of toe
Texas educational survey on "Com-
mon School District." released today
It is also said that school trustees
are sometimes made the victims of
contractors and "smooth salesmen."
It is shown that the law provides
the county superintendent shall ap-
portion toe school funds to the
county districts upon the basis of
scholastic population and thereafter
the trustees shall divide the funds
among the schools in the district and
fix the terms thereof. The staff
shows that there is a wide variation of
terms. In many districts the terms
are made sbortrr for negroes than for
whites and shorter for Mexicans than
for Americans. The ourvey staff said'
"Inlesa it is the judgment of the
majority of the people of Teiaa that
there should be discrimination in thf
length of the school year available to
children on account of race national
ity. such discrimination should not he
left to the district and then have the
State as a whole take the conse
quence!. In to far aa education re-
sults In Incroaaed economic efficiency
and in decreased lawlessness and
crime the State his to take the re-
sults of such discriminations as have
been made by districts. It should not
oe inferred from this discussion that
differences in length of school year
because of race are limited to com-
mon school districts. They also occur
in independent school districts as
well."
The survey stnff quotes the law
which formerly lodged the 'power in
the commissioners courts to establish
school districts which power by later
enactments now vests in the county
board of education. That law. by Mi
enactment of 1908. declares that no
district shall contain less than nine
square miles. The staff says that this
provision is not always observed
nevertheless the school districts are
relatively large. The average Is 12.0
square miles; the smallest two; the
largest 2t00. Less than one-third of
the districts have only one teacher;
one has 21. There is a distinct ad-
vantage in the development of rural
schools in large districts the report
states.
