Abstract
Excerpt: "There seems to be a rather general opinion that the educational opportunities afforded Negro children in the United States, especially in the Southern States, is not comparable with those afforded the White children. This condition may be due to the fact that control of schools in the southern states is largely if not entirely in the hands of White people who assume that the Negro is intellectually inferior to the Whites and that it is therefore unnecessary to provide comparable educational opportunities. However, mere opinion does not establish the fact, and it seems desirable to obtain reliable information concerning the administration, the training of the teachers, the equipment, and the courses given in the Negro schools. [...] Consequently this thesis will be limited to a survey of the courses in Chemistry offered to Negro students in the high schools of the southern states from the standpoint of, (1) the training of the teachers, and (2) the administration and presentation of the Chemistry courses in the high schools. While such surveys have been made of schools for White people, none have been carried out for the Negro schools."
