BETHUNE SCHOOL NEWS

Schools Brotherhood Week was
quite a success. To highlight the
activities of the week, Judge L. E.
Thomas, Miami's Negro judge was
the first speaker. Although it was
a difficult task for Judge Thomas
to come down to the level of the
students, he was very interesting.
The next speaker was also one
of Miami's most promising min
listers, the Rev. J. B. Blackwell.
Rev. Blackwell is quite an inter
esting speaker. His definition of
Brotherhood was defined in a
unique manner. The thought
brought out had much meaning
for both the students and teach
erS.
We consider ourselves fortunate
to have had these outstanding
citizens with us and we hope
they will visit us again in the
near future.
The PTA of Bethune is plan
ming on having grand baby
contest. To start the contest off
with bang, two of the teachers
have decided to have a doll show.
The show is planned for March
in the cafetorium. The residents
of Brownsville, are asked to sup
port them in their effort. The
admission to the show will be SC,
refreshments will be free, so be
there promptly at 800 o'clock
sharp.
The second grade class, under
the supervision of Mrs. S. S.
Lambert, gave very interesting
program centered around George
Washington. The program was
very informative. .-....r7
The first graders of Mrs. Ann
Rivers and Mrs. Hazel Troy will
present play, Mother Hubbard
Cupboard" at the regular Friday
morning chapel exercises, Febru-
ary 20. The play will culminate a
unit on Better Food for Better
Health"
II is hoped that the program
will be great success and that
all will enjoy it.
The school was highly honored
during Brotherhood Week in hav-
ing one of its faculty members,
Mrs. Wilhelmenia Franks Jen-
nings, present skit entitled "The
Four Chaplains" at the Inter-
Group Relations Institute held at
the University of, Miami.
The skit, depicting the close
ness of the world through trans
portation and communication; and
the necessity of being brotherly
toward one another, had previous
ly been presented to the student
body at Bethune. Mr.. Hoffman,
Rabbi Skot, Rev. Joseph Barth
and Father O'Conner who were
present at the presentation were
elated over the play and invited
Mrs. Jennings to have the child
rem participate on the Inter-
Group Relations Institute at Mi
ami University.
The entire faculty Is to be
commended on this rendition in

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The staff Of the Bunche Park
Elementary School began to move
into the new school site on jan

the teachers, it is a new incen-

tiful suite of administrative Of
fices, library, cafetorium, clinic,
teachers lounge, book and con-
ference room, and a special teach
ers room. Even with 20 class
rooms, the school is not quite
large enough and necessitates the
use of two portableS to house it's
% classes.
Additions to the staff include
Miss Susan Butler, librarian; Miss
Lillian Davis, Mrs. Hazel San
derS, Mrs. Frances Lightsey. Mrs.
Mary Hopkins, Mrs. Rosa Wilson
Miller, Mrs. Ruth Smith Bethel,

will, of course, be the salary of
therapist. The executive board
authorized DR.. Julio DePoo to
consummate a contract with the
qualified therapist who is will
ing to come to our city now. The
money now on hand will barely
pay the therapist's first years
salary.
The problem of equipment and
operating expenses then engaged
the boards attention. Since the
type of equipment will depend
on the types of cases to be treat
ed, the furnishing of the clinic
will have to wait until the
therapist has examined all the
various cripples. A minimum OF
two tables and one electric ma
chine will be necessary to start.
The board voted to ask various
organizations to take as service
projects the furnishing of one
piece of equipment.
Operating expenses viii amount
to at least $500 a year. Liberal
amounts Of electricity and water
viii be needed for therapy treat
ments, while X-rays will amount
to about SIS a month. No rent
will be paid by the Association.

Other very expensive items in
the care Of the crippled include
special shoes, braces, crutches,
casts, and wheel chairs. Many Of
these items are quickly out

crippled child, must be replaced
as soon as outgrown. They can
not be passed on TO others in
most cases. These items will ac-
count for q considerable part OF
the budget. Surgery, to correct
cleft palate and club foot, is an
other expensive item. since
many Of these operations must
be continued intermittently.

ment /, to assure school build
ings now for the overcrowded

women of the Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Clubs and the
League of Women Voters are the
best informed women in the
state of Florida.
Senator Okell, Senator r. B.
Gautier, and Representative
Robert L. Floyd and Dante Fas-
cell were all present. and were
asked to give their answers to
this question, what do you
think is the most important bill
to be worked o. in the next
Legislature?"
The Hon. Mr.. Gautier thought
turnpikes and toll roads would
be most important, while Sen
ator Okell thought revision of
the laws of Florida would be
the crucial issue. On the House
side, Representative Floyd sug-
gested a skipper act" to bring
back fathers and husbands to
support their families. Said Mr..
Floyd, ''Forty-one of the 48
states now have such law, Why
not Florida?" The Hon. Mr.. Fas-

HARRIS PTA SAYS VOTE
YES ON AMENDMENT I

urging its members, and all citi-

the future of schools in Florida,
to vote ''Yes" on Amendment One
in the election tomorrow.
Thomas d. Bailey, State Superin-

article titled, Here's How to
Build the Schools Florida Deeds, !"
estimates an enrolment Of 5S4. 900
children in Florida schools this
year.
Mr.. Bailey states, 1--WE in the
Parent Teachers Associations are
already familiar with the over
crowded school situations to be
found in every county n the state.
1--WE know first hand of the
many thousands of children who
are being denied their rights to
equal educational opportunities be-
cause of inadequate school faeili-
ties and double sessions.
81 sincerely believe that Amend
ment l is perhaps the soundest
proposition of its kind ever offered
the people of Florida for their
consideration and approval. Pre-.
sented with the facts, only full
approval can be forthcoming.
ITO present the facts, the need
for additional school buildings and
claSsrooms and the economic
