Through tht: help of Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, our schools have made significant gains with these children whoconstitute a large segment of the total school student enroll- ment. Bilingu41, bicultural education is an exciting and valuable experience for all children participating in the program. Through their experiences in bilingual education, Mexican-American children will develop a sense of pride and identiity which will provide them with the basis necessary for success in school and society. For the non-Spanish-speaking children in the program, learning Spanish and uSing it in instructional activities will provide thei.', with an appreciation and respect for a culture different from their own. Our.district's commitment to bilingual education reaffirms our interest in keeping cur efforts in educttion current and effective. This is of paramount importance if we are to realize success in meeting the individual needs of all of our students. 2 uliu- Truelson Superintendent of Scho-7c; February, 1971 Production Record Resoupe Material for BilingualEducilon was developed for the Fort Worth Public Schools bilingual education programpursuant to an-ESEA, Title VII grant from the U.
