During the period OF the banks

a city OF 10000 TO a city OF one and
q half millions. During this same
period the banks depositors have

cord In weathering every major

Tuskegee Institute Reorganizes
Its Old Program; To Abolish Schools

TrsKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala
(ANP)--President r. d. Patterson
who returned last week from New
York where he conferred with
members OF the board OF trustees
stated IN a special interview that
as a result OF a recent meeting OF
the Southern Executive committee
and the Finance committee OF the
trustee board OF Tuskegee institute
recommendation had been drafted
for the spring meeting OF the board
Of April I at Tuskegee in which
q definite plan Is worked out for
the reorganization OF the program
OF instruction In keeping with
modern trends IN education and at
the same time consistent with q
seriously curtailed income.
The recommendations include
elimination OF the high school. the
courses leading to the Bachelor OF
Science In Music Education. a two
year program in the school OF
business for the training OF secre-
taries. the school OF nurse-training
and the development Of the schools
OF agriculture, home economics,
mechanical industries and educa-
tion with the expansion OF work in
rural education as a major objec-
tive.
President Patterson expressed
the hope that since all these fields
are important and needed In a
broad program OF education. the
existing need for the offerings
eliminated will be met elsewhere.
He stated that local county autho-
rites are being asked to operate
the high school In which the en-
rollment al present 10 largely local:
$40 OF the students enrolled liv-
Ing in Macon county.
Or. Patterson staetd that since
rumors OF the possible elimination
OF the nurse training school had
got abroad, numerous letters had
been received from all sections OF
the country. giving evidence OF the
national service this training
school rendered; that It's work Is
outstanding and its continuance is
regarded as needed not only be-
cause OF the general shortage of
nurses. but also because OF the
south-wide medical and surgical
clinics operated IN connection with
the nursing school at Tuskegee. An
appropriation. he said. would be
sought from the state in order to
continue this very valuable pro-
gram IN nurse training.
Scholarship aid and grants re.
ceived from several foundations
