To good teachers, education is
a continuing challenge. This
month, 100 Arlington teachers
went back to school to learn
how to meet the challenge more
effectively.
For the last three summers
Arlington's public school sys-
tenn has organized a special
workshop for teachers. Volun-
tarily giving up part of their
vacation time, the teachers have
gathered to talk over problems
and methods, with the aim Of
carrying new ideas back to the
classroom. Some have even paid
for the privilege-getting a
couple of hours of university
credit as a reward.
Three weeks ago this sum-
mer's group-the biggest so far
trooped into silent Washington
Lee High School. There the
teachers were met by the work.

ton supervisors and four visit
ing instructors, working under
DR.. c. Glen Hass, associate
school superintendent, and DR.,
EdWina Deans, of the admins
trative staff. George Washing
ton University and the Uni
versity of Virginia were CO.
sponsors of the project.
Four Study Groups.
The workshop lasted two
weeks. Participants spent most
of the time in study groups,
with a general assembly at mid
morning. In the afternoon
came a laboratory period, when
the teachers studied the opera
ton of movie machines and
similar equipment. made teacher
aids such as Chinese counting
frames and worked on music,
speech and teaching materials.
There were four different
study groups. The first was con-
cerned with improving the
teaching of reading, the second
with teaching the gifted, the
third with family life education
and the fourth with human rela-
tions in the classroom.
The workshop also has had the
aim of fostering an under
standing of good discussion pro-
cedures, so leaders encouraged
an atmosphere of give and take.
The assemblies were among
the high points. at least for en-
thusiasm. Miss Lucille Mitchell,
county music supervisor, taught
a group of teachers to play the
auto harp. and at one assembly
the group accompanied while
non-playing colleagues learned
to sing Row, Row, Row Your
Boat" "Hot Cross Buns" and
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"
not without Fun.
One assembly was devoted to
a mock classroom scene, with
the workshop students playing
the roles of pupils. Another
featured a mock faculty meeting,
with teachers variously trying to
please or obstruct a tyrannical
principal named Miss Crab.
These Skits caused much hilarity.
For the outsider - and for
many of the teachers-the most
interesting of the discussion
topics brought up was sex edu-
cation. This was in the group
on family life education, led by
DR.. Lester Kirkendall, profess
sor at Oregon State College.
DR.. Kirkendall told the group
the best possible sex education
for children is security and

Adequate Facilities
For Pupils Are Seen
Near in Falls Church
BY WiIiom J. Elvin

Falls Church schools are be-
ginning their fifth year as an
independent system this fall with
the goal Of adequate facilities in
sight.
Since city schools were sepa-
rated from Fairfax County in
1949. George Mason High School
and Mount Daniel Primary
School have been built. and a
$4,000 remodeling program has
been carried out at Madison
Jefferson.
A $750,000 bond issue Was pro-
posed earlier this year to add q
cafeteria. shops and more class
rooms at George Mason ard to
add elementary facilities, but the
question has not yet come before
the voters.
May Try to Buy School.
The city might try to buy Fair
fax County's Oak Street School,
which is in the city limits. If
negotiations with Fairfax were
unsuccessful, a new school would
be built. Temporary structures
and 78-year-old Jefferson could
then be abandoned.
Supt. Irwin H. Schmitt be-
lieves that with this bond issue,
the school system would achieve
the goal set in 1949 for ele-
mentary classrooms, provided
there is no great upsurge in
enrolment.
Even with bond issue funds,
however. a further addition will
be needed at the high school
because of a prospective heavy
increase in the number of stu
dents there in coming years.
Since the Falls Church school
system began operating in 1949
enrolment has risen from about
835 to about 1,500. City taxes
for schools have risen from
$179,598 to $342,354.
$4,000 Minimum Pay.
Teachers salaries also have
been increased. Beginning
teachers pay is now $500 a year
above the 1949 figure. The
present minimum is $4,000.
Mr.. Schmitt has watched the
educational program develop
through some difficult and pain
full stages.
During one period, some high
school and elementary pupils
were attending classes in re-
modelled houses.
This fall, overcrowding is
requiring use of the George
Mason Auditorium for classes.
This situation should change
when 10 new classrooms are
opened, probably in December.
Two new classrooms at Mount
Daniel are scheduled for COM
pletion next month.
New Principal Hired.
George Mason has a new prin-
cipal this year, Kentucky born
Joe Little, former instructor in
the department of education at
Duke University.
Mr.. Little, who was assistant
principal last year under Mr..
Schmitt, is pleased with the
student spirit developing at the
new school.
He believes that the way a
student is introduced to school
or to a new school year is of
great Importance.
While the student is getting
adjusted, he is encouraged to
take part in well-rounded
program.
1--WE try to de-emphasize each
activity" the new principal says,
so that we can emphasize the
school program as a whole"

op of the Columbus Diocese to
you," the Bishop said in his letter.
Il am charged with the spiritual
welfare of you and your children,
to do the utmost in my power to
make certain that each locality in
this Diocese has adequate facili-
ties for the worship of God; to
care and provide a home for those
children who are deprived of a
parents loving care; to offer the
opportunity of religious school
ing which emphasizes the eternal
life while not minimizing the pres
ent and which teaches us not only
how to live but, what is far more
important, how to die"
He continued: IF statistics are
needed to emphasize the need of
additional high schools in Greater
Columbus, they are available. At
the present time our secondary
schools are filled to capacity with
2,400 students. Within the next 10
years the enrolment in Catholic
high schools will reach 5000.
Since high school education is
costly operation it is necessary
that needless duplication of ex-
pensive facilities be avoided. The
most economical long-range plan
for all the parishes would be the
construction of three central high
schools to accommodate 100000
boys and girls.
''The schools will not all be
built at once because financially it
would be impossible and it would
be wasteful of present facilities.
Construction of the first building
will begin this summer and will
be completed in 1855. The second
school should be open in 1857 and
thc third by 1859 Each school will
/ be so designed and constructed
that it will serve as an excellent
Catholic Community Center for the
surrounding parishes.
I'm planning these schools it has
been our desire to proceed eco.
nomically. Men experienced in
school planning testify that we
have planned wisely and that full
value of every dollar is being real
lied.
Your sacrifice will help to pro.
duce the necessary works of Chris.
tian education and charity which
will stand as glorious and effec-
tive monuments to the Faith in
this fast growing metropolitan
area. We will all have a warm, in
ner satisfaction that we were a
part of this splendid project. We
will feel honored that we, of this
generation, recognized ou obliga-
tion to pass on the Faith in our
Blessed Saviour to this and sue
ceeding generations"

German Youth
Urged ToBuild
United Europe

AUGSBURG, Bavaria-(NC)-A
lasting union of Europe can be
safely built only upon a Christian
basis, and Germans Catholic youth
must remember that they are not
only Germans but also Europeans.
This reminder was given by
many prominent speakers to 10000
Catholic boys and girls who came
here from all parts of Western
Germany to attend the first gener-
al rally of group leaders of the
League of German Catholic Youth
His Eminence Josef Cardinal
Wendell, Archbishop of Munich
and Freising, called upon Ger
many's young Catholics to become
bearers of light" If it is a fact
that economic issues divide the
peoples of Europe, he said, then
we must become all the firmer in
the conviction that European
union, ''if it is to be achieved at
all, must have Christ as its founda-
ton"
Father Otto Mauer of Vienna,
head of Austria's Catholic Action,
counseled against the erroneous
notion to expect Europe's saliva
tion from the rule of "Chris-
tian dictators." Warning against
dreams of power" he said that
the process must begin at the bot
tom, with the winning of individu-
al souls and then continue, through
democratic methods, to the re-
Chrisianization of Europe. Calling
for courageous hearts, Father
Mauer said that only the courage
of Faith can ensure the future of
Europe.
Heinz Koeppler, leader of the
Youth League, declared that Ger
many's Catholic youth, while re-
framing from any false. enthusi-
asm, is aware of its duty to help
i'm building up and protecting a
democratic Germany. In refer
ence to plans for German armed
forces as part of the European
Defense Community, he said: 1--WE
know that we have to make sacri-
fices il conditions require it." Ger
many's Catholic youth sees in a
united Europe the best hope for
the future, he said. 1t does not
close the eyes in the face of reali-
ties and difficulties but seeks to
overcome them with "the ardor of
young hearts"
The Protestant youth organlza-
ton of Germany sent a message
of greetings to the meeting.

Inquiries Up
AS Result OF
Ad Campaign

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - NC) -
Enrollments for religious instruc-
tion resulting from advertisements
sponsored by the Knights of Co
lumbus, have shown a marked in
crease, ii has been announced
here.
During the month of March
alone, the 1858 enrolment figure
was given a boost with ain all-time
monthly high of 4,515.
Since its beginnings, the 'adver-
tising campaign has brought to-
tai of 1,230,9 inquiries as of May
/ with over III, ,460 persons event
ually requesting a complete course
of instruction which the X. of c.
offers by mail.
The instructions are now going
to people in Israel, Korea, Japan,
South America, Sweden, Tito's
Yugoslavia, and other countries
throughout the world. An inquiry
once came from Russia but in the
last year no other letters have
seeped through the Iron Curtain.
The ads are carried in Columbus
regularly by the Columbus Dis
patch and Columbus Citizen. The
series began in the January 13 Is
sue of the Dispatch this year. The
program was inaugurated with the
advice and consent of Bishop
Ready.
Although replies to the ads are
sent to the Supreme Council, an
indication of the response from
the state was received this year
when the Supreme Councils ad
dress was inadvertently left off one
of the ads. That week, SO replies
were received here in Columbus
from throughout the entire state
The cost of the program is borne
locally through appeals to Catholi'
organizations, special donors ant
by members of the two local coun
ellis. 400 and 1898. Co-chairmen o
the committee in charge of the 10
cal fund raising are Paul Lynch
of Council 400 and William j
Finneran of Council 2898.
Top state for inquiries in thu
us. was New York with 101, ,246
But Californians were first whel
il came to following through OF
instructions with 9,606 enrolment
out of 94,204 inquiries. New Yorl
had 1896 enrollments.
Ontario, Canada, with 23,237 in
quiries and 1919 enrollments, lead
all places outside the us. Four
teen new inquiries from Is
rael brought totals there to 27, o
whom seven have signed for in
struction. Pagan India and Ceyiol
with 5,165 inquiries and All en-
rollments topped the Philippine
by a narrow margin.
The K. of G. also noted the III
creased use by priests and nilsson
aries of the pamphlets which fol
low UP the advertisements. Re
quests have come from chaplain
in Korea, prison chaplains, am
catechiSts throughout America.

at Is NOw Our
Turn "

know that not many of us ever
stopped and asked ourselves this
question: who built the school in
which ! was educated?" Or per-
haps: "Who built the Church in
which | Worship"
These questions aren't real pos
ers. They are easily answerable
and these answers provide consid-
cradle food for thought. The
school in which you were educated
and the church where you receive
the Sacraments likely were built
by the sacrifices and labors of your
fathers and grandfathers, some
times at real sacrifice.
They were built in a time when
incomes we're much, much lower
than they are today, when the diff
ficulties to surmount we're so much
greater. They built for us their
children.
Is it not clear that it is now cur
turn?'
