Abstract

Statement of the problem: It is the purpose of this study (1) to collect and preserve the records of those events, characters, and movements that have influenced the educational system of San Saba County, Texas, and have made the present system what it is and (2) to point out the weaknesses found in the school systems and offer recommendations for correcting them.

Delimitations of the problem: This study includes only the white schools of the county, as there were only 14 Negro scholastics in the county in August, 1880, and 43 such scholastics in the county in August, 1939. Most of them lived and are living in the city of San Saba, with a proper school maintained for their educational needs. Consolidation of school districts, handling of school lands and monies, problems of transportation, and buildings and equipment are included in this study only to the extent that a clear history of education in the county may be given.
