Gent in these points. AS things
are, training is needed for both
sexes and is imported through Boy
Scouting and the Girl Guide Move

Tis report highlights the para

perpetuating a shameful injustice
in the nations capitol. The COM
ment by the head of the school
board in Washington is most sig
nificant. He suggests that Congress
schould abolish discrimination in
the public schools of Washington,
a step that would have a radical
effect on the race pattern in the
District of Columbia. because
much of the race segregation ira
dition as regards hotels, estau-
rants, theatres, and some concert
halls, is based on the school law.
dent of the Go Teachers Union
in Washington, has made recon-
mendations' for reducing teacher
load, and broadening the educa-
tional program. She suggests that
funds be made available for such
large scale program by abolish
ing the extravaganza of a dual
school system. The school board
received the recommendation last
Spring with a statement that it's
hands We're tied by the Washing
ton law requiring segregated
schools.
