Nursery School Is Answer \
To Pre-School Child Needs

Mr.. Braden and Mrs. Kinzer
proved to be the committees
friends during the weeks of prep
aration. Toilet and wash basin
facilities were installed; walls
and floor were painted and spare
cabinets loaned for the storage
of equipment. Then loan of
$3.50 was extended through Coun-
Gil for the purchase of supplies.
Meetings of interested parents
were organized and parents got
busy making and painting blocks.
An excellent teacher, Mrs. Char
lotte Wagner, decided to throw IN
her lot with this newest of CO.
operatives. Finally on the 18th
of April, the school started with
81 pupils at Sd per month. Out
of this slender sum the teachers
salary was paid, fruit juices were
served and janitor services were
maintained. During this trial pc
riod the Parents Board was form
ed and various money making
projects were launched to try and
form sinking fund from which
the debt to council might be paid.
From last years trial term
several policies have evolved
Three terms of three months each,
known as the Fall, Winter and
Spring terms. A registration fee,
which is retained only upon with
drawal in the middle Of term.
The discrimination of the fruit
juices, which was found to be an
extravaganza in the face of rising
prices and for which graham
crackers have been substituted.
The purpose of the Greenbelt
Cooperative Nursery School is not
just a place to "get rid of the
kids for a couple of hours" but
is summed up in their bylaws.
"The purpose of the Nursery
School shall be to provide, under
skilled guidance, opportunities to
the pre-school child for co-opera-
tive play, creative activity, and
social adjustment; to promote
parent education and cooperation
between home and school,"

The Nursery School Parents
Board at a recent meeting de-
cided that since a number of ques-
lions had been asked as to the
origin, purpose anG conduct of the
nursery school, it might be of in
terest to review briefly the history
of this young cooperative.
Establishment of the present
nursery school occurred last April
as result of the efforts of the
nursery school committee, an ex-
tension of the kindergarten COM
mittee, which was active in Sc
curing the present kindergarten.
The nursery school committee, as
a result of block surveys covering
all pre-school children between the
ages of 3 and 5, found that al
though nearly all were interested
in this type Of education, only
about 40 felt able to pay 81
month.
After considerable research on
the subject it was found that this
figure was the lowest was feasible
to run this type of school. A re-
port was laid before the Town
Council with a recommendation
that the Council provide funds to
the extent of 81 a month per
child, with each family contrib
uting the additional So per month,
thus putting it within reach of
every family in Greenbelt.
In this way all expenses could
be paid without too much burden
on either town OR parent. Coun-
Gil voted against any help, but
later appointed a committee to go
to F. S. A. with the problem.
which at this point also included
lack of space. The only space
felt to be acceptable to the admin
istration and which might prove
to be the least expensive to equip
was the recreation room of IA
Parkway. Permission was given
for the use of this room, pro-
vided the school would be accept
able to the tenants, all of whom
graciously gave their permission.

BOYS CLUB DRIVE

Fellow Citizens of Greenbelt:
The County of Prince
Georges is in the midst of a
campaign to raise funds for the
Police Boys Clubs in the Coun-
ty. Police Boys Clubs through
out the country have been
bringing about wonderful re-
suits, and the clubs that were
organized in our own county a
few years ago are no exception
to this rule because they have
produced definite results. I do
not know of a more worthy
movement than this program,
and hope that every citizen
will contribute to this work.
If space can be provided a
unit will be established in
Greenbelt. I think we all agree
that it would be better to have
our boys in some organized ac-
tivity than loafing on the street.
The people of Prince Georges
County cooperated to make
Greenbelt possible for US. Let
us show our appreciation Of
their action in every way we
can. and here is an opportunity
to do so.
Your cooperation with those
who may be soliciting assist
ance will be greatly appre-
ciated.
