URGE SCHOOLS AS
SOCIAL CENTERS
Board Of Education viii Ask
Congress to Let the Public
Benefit from Buildings.
SEEK AMENDMENT 0FLAW
Argument Advanced that Buildings
Then Could Be Used as Meeting
Places for Civic Bodies.

Congress probably viii be asked by the
Board of Education to amend the law
which prohibits the use OF school build
ings for other than school purposes.
Numerous requests have been made to
the board for use Of different build
ings as meeting places Of civic organ
izations, but under the law such per-
mission cannot be granted.
Should Congress strike out that Sec
ton of the act, 1t is probable the build
ings eventually will be used as gather
ing places for citizens associations and
ctty's betterment.
The board held its regular November
meeting yesterday. 1t was announced
that the new colored Normal School, No.
