GU Nursing School
To Double Capacity
With New BuiIdinQ

Georgetown University's school
OF nursing is heading into its
Golden Jubilee year with stu
dents attracted from 20 States,
Puerto Rico, Columbia and the
Philippines, and plans for q new
81, ,35O,00 building that will
more than double its facilities.
The school is operated by the
Sisters Of Charity.
Even with the present cramped
quarters on Thirty fifth between
Prospect and N streets NV,
which require the use Of a school
bus to take students back and
forth, nurses are applying in
far greater numbers than can
be accommodated. Girls who
already have their RN now have
to find their own living quar-
ters OF campus.
Ground Breaking Next Month.
Ground breaking for the new
building, to adjoin the University
hospital, is expected to take
place next month. It will con-
tain quarters for 296 women
and 13 faculty members, in ad-
dition to classrooms. library,
dining room, auditorium and
administrative Offices.
This will be a great con-
venience for the nurses. Hither-
to they've had to take classes
scattered around the campus
wherever space could be found.
Sister Angela Marie, dean of
the nursing school, expects the
improved conditions to attract a
high caliber of students. The
school already carries on q
rigorous selective process to get
only the best Of the many ap-
plicantS.
Enrolment Rise Expected.
The building should be fin
iShed in the fall of 1854 or the
spring OF 1855, according to pres
ent plans. But expansion is
already under way. Enrolment,
still open, is expected to run
about 40 above last years 212.
OF that total, only two were
members of a religious order, the
rest lay persons.
Oddly enough, more students
come to the school from New
Jersey than any other State.
New York and Pennsylvania tie
for second, Maryland and the
District tie for fourth.

payroll amounted to less than
$40, 900 a month-and nobody
complained of being overpaid.
The first problem was to get
money for some new school
buildings and install some cafe
terias to feed depression-hungry
youngsters.
And the first result was
George Washington High School.
It replaced the old Alexandria
High School and George Mason
High. which became elemen-
tarieS.
Many accused the new super
tendent and the school board of
extravaganza.
"They said we'd never fill that
big high school," Mr.. Williams
recalls now with a chuckle.
1t was overflowing, however,
within four years, when the first
addition went up. In another
year a second wing was added
and another has been added
since.
Wartime Boom Starts
The school cost less than 81
million then. Builders saw IL
couldn't be duplicated now for
twice that amount.
That same foresight must
have been working when 10 new
elementary classrooms followed
in 1941-42. The big wartime
population boom was starting,
and school officials got busy
planning and buying sites as
soon as the developers had put
in their applications for subdi-
visions.
This fall enrolment is ex-
pected to climb another notch,
but Mr.. Williams is confident
there Will be space enough.
A few years ago the youngsters
did get ahead of the school,
builders for a while, and most
first and second graders went
on part-time shifts. but there
won't be any of those this year
according to the superintendent.
Mr.. Williams and the seven
member board have seen to it
that the schools are we'll
equipped. All grade schools have
auditoriums. lunch rooms, shops,
music rooms, libraries and clin-
les. But there is no longer any
hue and cry of extravaganza.

One of the most precious treasures which
Ohio, or any other State, possesses is its child
rem. Down through the years, Ohio has nur-
tured and guarded this treasure. Its far
flung and expensive educational program is
evidence of this States concern.
Ohio has another program, now forty
years DID, which is an even greater evidence
of heartfelt feeling for its future citizens.
Today it is called Aid TO Dependent Children,
since the Federal Government entered into
this field In 1886, making grants TO the States for
dependent children, and calling the program by
this name Back in 1913, however Ohio passed the
first Childrens Code in the United States, which
provided among other things for mothers pen
sions.'
Whatever the name, the program has always
embodied the principle that the best place for the
child is his home, and that he should not be re-
moved from his home for solely financial reasons.
Therefore financial aid was provided for widows
that they could stay home and take care of their
children. Later, this broadened to cover all
cases of dependency where child is deprived of
parental support care by the death, physical or
mental ncapacity, continued absence from home

To Deceive If Possible,
Even The Elect

The recent exchange OF letters about birth con
troll which were published by the daily papers,
points up again the need for clear thinking on the
immoral practice of birth control Birth control as
advocated by many modern people is sinful. No vote
of majority of the people, Wlshiul thinking, no
sympathetic desire TO help the poor tho ignorant or
the downtrodden make II anything else than sin
full Birth control which interferes with the natural
effect OF the marriage act is not only sinful but IT
is seriously sinful
Almighty God has declared birth control TO be
"a detestable thing" when He condemned the sin of
Oman. Genesis So l0) In His goodness God has
wilied that an encouragement for accepting the
duties of married life. husbands and wives are re-
warded by the pleasure that accompanies the full
ment of duty. To seek these pleasures without ac-
cepting the responsibilities Of married life is the
act of hedonist a materialist, selfish coward. II
desecrates marriage and makes II a purely casual
relationship.
Granted that serious sickness or great poverty
suggest that the size of the family be limited at
times, the answer does not exist in induging self,
in seeking by evil means 10 attain goal that
may be required by circumstances.
II family limitation family planning is neces-
sary. the only moral way and the only Christian
wav is by the exercise of self control OF course.
IL is not easy. Our Lord never promised heaven TO
those who take it easy. On the contrary He warned
that must take up Cross and follow Him.
Whatever men in high places influential positions
may say, Gods truth must prevail and Gods way
must be followed Artificial birth control remains,
as il has always been, serious violation OF Gods
commandments. In other words, Birth Control is a
mortal sin
