DEMANDS TRAINING FOR
THE CLERGY

New York, Sept, (CNA)-Pointins
out the lag of Negro theological
schools behind the advance of othe,
schools of education, Dean Mays o.
Howard University, writing in the
Crisis, advocated the need for progress
in what he called "The Most Neglect
ed Area of Negro Education.
Pointing out that during the last
twenty-five years millions of dollars
have been contributed by philantro-
phists to the creation of over forty
Class A and B Colleges, little has been
done to improve Negro theological and
religious schools in that time, mot
withstanding the fact that the Negro
as group have lost prestige
1t is still true that the Negro minister
is the most significant leader of the Ne,
gro masses" Dean Mays wrote.
