Abstract

The problem is to survey the educational opportunities for Negroes in the extra-curricular activities in the Intermediate Schools in Wichita, Kansas.

The writer is not only concerned with the selected few who receive some of the educational advantages in extra-curricular activities but also in every young Negro. Extra-curricular participation not only tends to make the school a happy place in which to live, but it also gives one a feeling of belonging, a pride, and a joy, and the satisfaction of possession.

As we become better acquainted with the purpose and philosophy of an extra-curricular activity program, and as we think over our own school career and consider school programs of the present, there comes a fuller realization of the number of possibilities of extra-curricular activities and of the richness which they bring to the life of the pupils. These activities may open up innumerable possibilities and avenues of life to boys and girls, and they should bring about a condition by which negro youth may have life more abundantly.

We are particularly interested in finding if Negro students in mixed schools are participating in extra-curricular activities and if so art they participating as fully as the students in an all Negro school.

In other words do Negroes in mixed schools participate in extra-curricular activities as extensively as those in an all Negro intermediate school.
