Many schools have already acted under
such impules; for example, (1) schools
in Detroit each have their own Inter-
cultural Education Committee which
sponsors good action in every building
and shares ideas with a central co-ordi-
nation body; (2) the city of Santa Bar-
bara, California, has long record of
achievement in presenting contributions
of regional cultures and of school work
devoted to human understanding; (3) the
schools of Cincinnati devote an issue of
the system's magazine each to inter-cul-
tural developments and to insights which
should be shared by all; (4) the teachers
of Philadelphia observe each others' prac-
tices and share ideas in a Conference
on Living Together in our Schools in
These Days;" (5) Gary, Indiana, holds
meeting of all administrators and of rep-
resentative teachers during school hours
to consider what can be done to better
human relationships in the complex so-
cial patterns of that city; (6) the teach-
ers and administrators of South Bend,
Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland
have decided that their schools need vital
changes to meet the needs of the major-
ities and minorities.
"We in America must live together
harmoniously in our nation. We are im-
migrants and the descendants of immi-
grants, a nation of many religions and
races, and a nation which rejects class
and caste distinction as incompatible
with our way of life. Racist thinking
and scapegoating, the fomenting of
divided loyalties, the accepting of stere-
otypes about supposed herditary super-
iorities or groups, are consonant neither
with our democratic way of life nor with
the scientific findings of our anthrop-
ologists and psychologists. As part of a
societal attack on the economic and
psychological roots of inter-group hos-
tility inter-cultural education in the
schools can make a contribution.
With Chao Pu-hsia, let us say "We
educators must not be satisfied with the
schools as our own special concentration
camps; we must go out to the family
and the church, use motion pictures,
broadcasting systems, and periodicals,
?nd take advantage of any and every
life situation for educational purposes.
We must look beyond the campuses and
onto the horizons. The whole of society
should be the school, and the whole of
life the curriculum. Heaven will be the
ceiling of the new sohoolhouse, and the
good earth the floor."
This, teachers of Texas, is your task
—and what a challenge it is.! To let
the culture purpose dominate your teach-
ing is to draw out the abilities of your
pupils, to develop their skills, to improve

become the instrument for transforming
teacher, and pupil, school and community
for shouldering each responsibility and
enjoying every privilege you are entitl-

your world and helping every other
person, whatever his color or creed or
condition or nationality, to do likewise.
