A • s The University of Texas Institute of Texan Cultures at San Antonio What Will Become of the Printed Word in the 21st Century? In 1982 the late John H. Jenkins published a pamphlet entitled "The Future of Books:' in which he envisioned the complete demise of the publishing industry by the year 2000 and the evolution of books on videodisc or other computer media to a point "beyond our present ability to imagine:' The prospect, he concluded, was both bewildering and exciting. With the recent installation of on-line computer access to library catalogs at The University of Texas at Austin and at San Antonio, and working projects to develop computer resources in the Institute of Texan Cultures Library and for classroom learning (see Jack Reynolds's article in Passages, Vol. V, No.1), the bewilderment and the excitement are indeed upon us. In such an environment it is therefore appropriate to consider books and the making of books, past, present, and-possibly-future. This coming November the Institute will devote considerable effort to doing just that by sponsoring a symposium and a traveling exhibit. {continued on page 2} Carl Hertzog (continued from page i) Good bye to a River ,\I I '"1.1' • " . ~I I'I' •• I 1', \ I>" , : • 1 ~II The symposium will occur on Saturday, November 10. Titled "The Printed Word in the 21st Century;' it will feature lectures by internationally recognized figures in the bookmaking and publishing world, including Sandra Kirshenbaum, editor of Fine Print magazine in San Francisco; John Dreyfus, typographer and printing historian from London; Dr. Rolando Hinojosa-Smith, novelist, philosopher, and professor at The University of Texas at Austin; John Y. Cole, director of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress; and a representative from one of the major book retailers in the United States. Al Lowman, historian, bibliophile, and longtime research associate at the Institute of Texan Cultures, is responsible for organizing the symposium and the exhibit and will also speak to the gathering. The exhibit, The Printing Artistry of Carl Hertzog, will include books, pamphlets, and printed ephemera created by Hertzog during his 60-year career in El Paso. Carl Hertzog was born at Lyons, France, of American parents on February 8, 1902. He grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His career as a printer began with the gift of a toy printing press when he was ten. Although influenced by Porter Garnett of Carnegie Tech, Hertzog was largely selftaught and, after apprenticeship at the Owl Print Shop in Wheeling, West Virginia, he came to El Paso in 1923, where he was first employed at the W.S. McMath Company. There he designed his first books. The years 1927 through 1929 he spent as advertising manager for the El Paso Sash and Door Company. In 1930 he joined the Rocky Mountain Bank Note Company, which had a large-scale printing operation. In 1934 Hertzog opened his own commercial press. From 1948 until 1972 he taught a course in book design and typography and served as founding director of the Texas Western Press at The University of Texas at El Paso. Even in retirement he produced an occasional book or pamphlet and was fascinated by the new technologies that were transforming his profession. Plagued for many years by fragile health, he died at his El Paso home on July 24, 1984. Today Carl Hertzog's reputation is known wherever fine books are admired and respected. hf}-I:E l(lNG RANCPI J!f TOM LEA HSLlKC!I HOLLAND McCOMBS .1 "SOT.! no." FRANr1S L.

Carr, Bill Holloway, Lynn Weiss 2 A Polish-Texan Perspective by Patrick McGuire Panna Maria: An Image of Polish Texans is a special exhibit on display at the Institute of Texan Cultures through October 21, 1990. A photographic essay, it is Joseph Jaworski's (b. 1949, Pawlow, Poland) view of America's first Polish colony, Panna Maria, founded in 1854. Jaworski completed his photo essay as his Master of Arts thesis at The University of Texas at Austin in 1988. For the Institute's exhibition, his masterful, yet gentle, photographs are supplemented by artifacts which reflect their contents. The artifacts are on loan from the Panna Maria Historical Society and Museum and the Church of the Immaculate Conception. In addition, the Institute's new videotaped program on Panna Maria is being presented for the first time. Joe Jaworski explained his motivation for the photo essay: "As a Polish emigre, I had had a long-standing desire to return to Poland to document life in a small village . . . . During the Texas Sesquicentennial celebration in 1986 I was invited to submit photographs for a special exhibition sponsored by the Texas Photographic Society. In a search for subject matter related to my heritage I located a cluster of Polish communities near San Antonio: Cestochowa, Kosciuszko, and Panna Maria. The excursion to photograph there in April 1986 was quite rewarding, not only in that three images eventually appeared in the exhibit, but that the hospitality and charm of the Polish communities made them feel like a long-lost home. I revisited there in December 1986 and decided there was good potential for a long-term documentary project. Panna Maria, as the oldest Polish settlement in the United States, provided an important focal point:' The Polish-born artist, who was brought to America by his parents and later served in the Vietnam War, nurtured an early interest in photography. He observed of his arrival in Austin in 1980, "At that time, the Uournalism] department was full of dreamers and doers and was awash with Flower children at the outdoor Mass of the Feast of the Virgin Mary 3 excitement, determination, and friendly competition. The photo classes were structured in such a way that a student not only fulfilled curriculum requirements, but participated in grander projects, such as exhibitions and largescale free-lance projects. Those opportunities nurtured my interest in documentary photography and increased my interest in Texas culture:' As Joe Jaworski discovered in Texas, '~t first glance, Panna Maria looks very much like any other small, rural Texas community, with concerns typical of small towns Reverend Frank Kurzaj directs San Antonio's Holy Name Polish Choir and Panna Maria's Immaculate Conception choirs for the papal visit. nowadays. Its population is dwindling due to migration of the young toward the urban areas, declining farm prices, and disappearing family farms . . . . Its future is uncertain. Although Panna Maria seems to be well integrated into the broader culture of Southwest Texas, its roots remain ingrained in its relations with the Catholic Church, which continues to define its special character:' During his project in the late 1980's Jaworski discovered what many already knew-the church was central in the community. He later wrote of his experiences, "Polish emigrants regarded their national parish in America as both a religious and community center, a replica of their village and church in Poland and of all the activities associated with them. Such activities included not only schooling, but also those serving spiritual, social, cultural, and welfare needs. Thus the church, through the parish organization, was a unifying factor and helped maintain the cohesion of the primary group, perhaps more so in the United States than in Poland:' The public is invited to a special "Polish Pioneer Day:' Sunday, September 23, 1-4 p.m., at the Institute. The celebration will include the exhibit and special activities. The Panna Maria Polish Choir and San Antonio Polish Dancers will perform, beginning at 2:30 p.m., and demonstrations of Polish folk crafts and hands-on activities for children will be offered by the Polish Arts and Culture Foundation of San Antonio. 0 Patrick McGuire is a Research Associate Vat the Institute of Texan Cultures and author of several books.

In Our Multicultural Society, the World Is at Our Doorstep by Barbara Stanush My elementary school was named Thscan after a Lenape Indian chief, but we didn't know this history because it wasn't taught to us. One day a boy in kilts came to class, having just been evacuated from Scotland during World War II. We didn't laugh at his garb, but we didn't inquire about his customs either. Neither did we make inquiries when our Jewish friends missed school because of their High Holy Days. In the predominantly WASP New Jersey suburb where I grew up, teachers and children alike did not ask questions about history and culture unless they were posed by the textbooks. We didn't know much about religious and ethnic groups that differed from our own. I remember learning about places such as Prince Edward Island in Canada because we made maps with India ink and drew pictures of their products. But these were "foreign" places. What if I had learned about the cultures of Malcolm and Sol, my classmates, and of Chief Thscan, who had camped on the school ground? What if my teacher had been so excited about their cultures that she researched them and told us about the plaids denoting Scottish clans and about the ram's horn that was blown to begin the Jewish New Year or, better yet, let Malcolm and Sol tell us? I wouldnave been carried away! I would have grown up with a different understanding about the world and 'my neighbors, beginning in my back yard. Things we learned as children became part of us. As adults it can take years to internalize learnings. It wasn't until after I married a Texan and moved to San Antonio that the full impact of our nation's multicultural heritage hit me. In 1966, then-Governor John Connally declared that the state would "do something big" for the upcoming world's fair, HemisFair '68, and appointed R. Henderson Shuffler of The University of Texas to plan the Texas Pavilion. The Institute of Texan Cultures, as it came to be called, was way ahead of its time. Shuffler, a man of vision, wanted to tell the true story of Texas: not the "shoot-ern-up" cowboy myths, but actual accounts of the many ethnic groups that settled Texas. "The English, the Irish, the Negro, and the Italian were playing their roles in Texas history before the first AngloAmerican crossed the Sabine;' he said. And before that there were Native Americans and the Spanish and Mexican pioneers. 'IWenty-six ethnic groups were recognized in the pavilions. There was a new vision, and old stereotypes bit the dust. We are a nation of immigrants. Even the Native Americans came, originally, across the Bering Strait from Asia. Today two-thirds of the world's legal immigrants come to 5 the United States. We are all either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. We need to know this history. In this age of fragmentation and loss of identity, we need more than ever what the Institute of Texan Cultures has to offer: the connections, the stories of who we are and where we came from, where we're going. Amazingly, the Institute of Texan Cultures is the only state institution in the country devoted to honoring the multitude of cultures within [the state's] boundaries. Learning about our cultural and ethnic groups helps strengthen our identity. It builds pride in our heritage. It helps put the pieces of our lives together. As John McGiffert, director of the Institute, says, "Everybody has a heritage that has brought something good to our culture:' Today some 370,000 people visit the Institute annually, and more than 100,000 attend the Texas Folklife Festival each summer. The real life of the Institute is far more, however. John McGiffert refers to it as "a unique learning factory:' Henderson Shuffler implemented his vision of intercultural understanding through the Institute of Thxan Cultures. Books, pamphlets, audiovisuals, and traveling exhibits are produced. Hundreds of volunteers as well as staffers tell the stories of Texas history and culture, not just on the exhibit floor but, increasingly, throughout the state. Teachers from across Texas who attend summer classes extend the message to thousands of students. The education program is directed by Bonnie Truax, a former volunteer herself, who translates the Institute vision into exciting programs that are keyed to the statemandated curriculum. New programs are being developed to help keep students in school until they graduate. Summer workshops for fourth and seventh grade teachers have begun. Teachers will create their own lesson plans, and this fall their students will ponder questions such as "Are people really different?" as they study ethnic groups. They might learn a Czech song, interview a Black rancher, or make a Caddo Indian pot. One teacher said, "When it comes from me personally, my students grasp it quickly and retain it:' Her students made a German rice dish and found it tasted just like their breakfast dish, arroz de atoIe. As they sought out more in- (continued on page 6) Multicultural {continued from page 51 TRAVELING EXHIBITS Traveling exhibits are designed by the Institute of Texan Cultures so that all Texans can enjoy learning about the state's ethnic heritage.

In it we declared our intention to observe and report the "celebrations and solemnities which mark human existence" in the state and the passages - ritual, migratory, written, spoken, fabricated - which Texans undertake. Articles on Spanish colonial entrepreneurs and contemporary photographers, Creole accordionists and MexicanAmerican adoberos, Hungarian immigrants and Black educators have borne witness to the diversity of people and experiences in Texas. The early issues contained 8 pages, the later ones 16, but the wealth of topics and the issues and activities that involve people at the Institute cannot be adequately addressed, even in the larger format. For this reason the Institute is considering embarking on yet another "passage" to a larger, more inclusive quarterly publication. Plans are to increase the number of printed pages, expand the standard features to include regular columns, book reviews, and cultural events of note around the state, and develop each issue with particular themes or ideas treated from different perspectives. Such a venture will, however, cost money. Therefore, we would like to hear from you. Would you consider subscribing to a larger version of Texas Passages? How many friends or acquaintances could you encourage to subscribe? Please give us your reply in the attached postage-paid envelope, along with any other comments you may have. We look forward to hearing from you. 801 S. Bowie Street/P.O.
