CHURCH TO CELEBRATE
WITH PAGEANT

This month ten years ago was an
eyentful one in the history of the South
ern Presbyterian church, for there was
fulfilled the dream Of Rev. A.. L. Phil
| lips, ID, D., who saw first the great
need Of an institution for the training
Of church leaders, both men and
women.
Like all beginnings, this Of. May, ten
years ago, was small indeed when the
first sessions were held in Richmond,
Va, in rented rooms by borrowed fac
ulty, soon however this child began to
grow when new and larger quarters
were sought. Ii
The first permanent buildings were
the George w. Watts dormitory; and
Virginia hail. both being occupied this
lyear. There is still not enough room
to house all those who would enter.
Ffhe trimming school must have more
dormitory space and more homes for
the faculty.
Mrs. w. G. Marlborough, chairman
of women's work, has arranged a page
ant called 1.-THE Home Coming Party
Of the Assembly's Training School," to
be used this year in the churches cele-
bratiag the birthday of the school.
The Woodlawn Presbyterian church
will celebrate this day on the evening Of
May 16 in the church auditorium, using
this pageant which will be directed by
Mrs. Hardaway Frazier. Mrs. Frazier
has selected some of the best talent in
the church to assist her.
Friends Of the church are invited to
attend.

CLASSIFICATION LAW
Mass Meeting Supports Lehlbach
Bill for Civil Service
Control.

Further attacks on the present sys-
tenn of classification and expressions
of support for the Lehlbach bill, which
would abolish the Personnel CLASH
fication Board and place Its work in
the hands of the Civil Service Com
mission, characterized the mass meet
ing last night at the Masonic Audi
torium under auspices of the National
Federation of Federal Employees.
Representative Lehlbach, chairman
ice, was the principal speaker, urgin e
all to support the bill, which is now
on the Senate calendar, having passed
the House. Mr.. Lehlbacb attacked
the policies OF Herbert u. Brown OF
the Bureau of Efficiency as instru-
mental in having the Personnel Classi-
fication Board set aside the wiki OF
Congress" Classification could only
be scientifically brought about by the
means provided in his bill, Mr.. Lehl-
bach said.
SUPPORT of the American Federation
of Labor was pledged by Edward r.
McGrady. legislative representative.
Luther G. Steward, president OF the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes. briefly summarized the situa-
ton, calling attention to the fact
that the organizations represented at
the meeting, and men such as Rep
resentative Lehlbach, were fighting to
improve conditions. 1T is the duty"
he said, "of every Government en-
ploye to champion the cause which
has as its objective the abolition of
the fake classification now in effect"
