The Human Side Of Religion
Ocean Grove Has Been Site
OF Church Meetings for Years
By Cospor Nonnes
Religious News Editor Of The Stu


Ocean Grove, N. j., where the
Church of the Brethren held its
annual conference last week. still
Eretains much of the charm of a
past era.
A person stepping from nearby
busting Asbury Park into the
grove feels as Though he has
gone from a noisy sideshow into
a quiet church.
The self-contained area, a
popular place for church meet
ings. is probably best known for
its Sunday auto ban. Not only
are autos forbidden to move on
the Sabbath, but they must be
outside the grove from midnight
Saturday to midnight Sunday.
Big Grove Era Recalled.
But even during the week the
area recalls a bygone period.
There is an obvious slowing down
Of tempo among those leiSurely
Strolling beneath the numerous
shade trees or congregating in
the little park before the spa
cious auditorium. Asphalt walks
criSScross the park, and benches
are set beside the walks or fur
ther back on the grass.
Canvas-topped tents line many
Of the side streets. Along Gen.
tennial Park leading to the ocean
are hotels and boarding houses,
their wide porches and comfort
abel-appearing rocking chairs
recalling a gracious past.
The grove goes back nearly a
century, to 1869, when the first
religious service was held there
on July 81. A few months later
the Ocean Grove Campmeeting
Association was formed.
Gates Up in 1873.
Gates setting off the area were
put up at the Main avenue
entrance in 1873. They were
replaced by iron gates in 1890
and by the present stone pillars
in 1916.
The auditorium, seating 10000
persons, was erected in 1894 to
replace one built in 1876. Airy
and comfortable, the building
has numerous electric lights run
ming like lighted beads across
the roof overhead.
Presidents and other famous
personages have spoken at grove
meetings, Theodore Roosevelt,
William Mckinley, Woodrow
Wilson, William Howard Taft
and William Jennings Bryan
have appeared at the auditorium
during the years.
Great singers have also thrilled
crowds there. They included
Nine. Schumann-H eink, John
Mccormack, Galli-Curci, Law
renee Tibbett, Grace Moore and
Giovanni Martinelli.

q total lack Of home and school
visits. This is q serious flaw
in the method Of social study.
Moreover, whatever travel Is
done by the social workers is
done at q financial loss to the
District Of Columbia. The time
wasted on streetcars is more ex-
pensive than efficient transpor-
tation would be. A grant Of
funds for transportation will
save more than it COSTS
The committee found that the
courts work is hampered by the
inability of the marshal's Office
to execute the courts attach
ment orders. This was attrib-
uted largely to a shortage of
personnel in the marshaps office.
The committee noted that on
December 8, 1853. there were 229
outstanding attachment orders
from the court. In other words.
said the committee in calling
for more staff in the marshal's
Office. there were 229 children
at large who should have been
before the court.

Funds Inpedes Delinquency Program, Committee Holds

Of Public Welfare does have.
The Industrial Home School for
colored children at Blue Plains
Is so overcrowded that there are
always a number Of children at
the Receiving Home waiting for
room to be made for them at
Blue Plains"
The Committee noted that the
Welfare Departments present
difficulty will be somewhat allie
waited" when the two industrial
home schools move to new ia
cilities at Laurel, Md. The new
Industrial Home School for
white is nearly finished and will
be ready for occupancy in a few
months. Construction on the
one for colored has started. The
committee said it was ''impera-
tive" that the project for col
ored be pressed because "the
overcrowding at the present IA
cilities at Blue Plains is SO acute
that many children must be re-
leased to the community long
before the effects Of rehabilita-
tive efforts have been felt" The
committee concluded:
"The Importance Of complet-
ing the building program and
stating the new institutions can
not be overemphasized. The De-
partment of Public Welfare has
struggled with pitifully made
quate facilities for decades. In
1904. it is reported. no funds
were allocated for repairs to the
buildings now still in use for the
Industrial Home School for
white. because a move was con-
templated within the next year.
Now. exactly half a century later,
this move is being made. but the
departments needs will still be
unsatisfled. Existing construc-
ton plans must be pressed to
completion. Moreover. a pro-
gram should be adopted immedi-
ately for bringing the Receiving
Home up to the capacity which
was originally contemplated"

Funds for Building
Program Urged

The Welfare Departments con-
struction program came in for
special attention with q recon-
mendation that Congress be
urged to grant funds to permit
immediate completion of the
Receiving Home. to complete the
present building program and
to provide an adequate staff
to operate the new program, in
GLIDING additional case workers
in the child welfare division.
The report gave this background
for the committees recommen-
dation:
The Receiving Home was in
tended to provide temporary de-
tention for children awaiting &C
ton by the Juvenile Court. It
now provides detention for nu-
merous purposes for children Of
all sorts. 1t is appallingly over
crowded.
"The home was designed for
43 children. The available
sleeping space has now been
doubled by the addition of extra
beds, but the population regu-
larry exceeds even this maximum
of Sc beds. During October, the
daily average was over 80 chill
dren. At one time in November
there were lib children in the
Receiving Home.
1.-THE overflow of children must
sleep on mattresses placed on
the floor or on tables. Since
most of the space is taken up
with sleeping facilities. there is
practically no room for training
or recreational facilities. The
children spend their days hud-
died on benches. with almost
nothing to occupy their time.

such conditions provide the
maximum opportunity for the
younger children to learn the
tools of adult crime from the
older children. The possibili-
ties Of evil influence are en-
HANGED by the fact that there
are no separate facilities for sex

mum caSe-load is 40 cases per
worker. The inevitable result Of
the doubling Of the response

delay in the period Of time 1t
takes to complete the work.
"It should be noted that the
delay Is not entirely occasioned
by the social study. While the
social study now requires six
weeks period which should In
the opinion Of the committee be
reduced to three-four and one
half additional weeks are con-
Sumed in the revision and APP
proval Of the report by the SUI
perviSory staff and In certain
administrative aspects of the
courts work. This too Is a signi-
ficant period which should be
reduced.
Benefit to Children.
1.-THE committee Is satisfied
that q moderate increase in the
stan Of intake workers would
substantially shorten the average
period Of the social study. The
speedy disposition of cases would
be Of unreasonable benefit to
the children who are awaiting
treatment.
1.-THE overall lapse In the time
taken to process q case through
the Juvenile Court now averages
10 and one-half weeks. This de4
lay has harmful effects upon
both the child and the COM
munity.
THE child and his parents
are subjected to uncertainty and
tension until the disposition is
known. The administration of
treatment Is put off, with the
result that the child loses re-
spect for the court and may
even fail to connect his offense
with his appearance in court.
Handbags Rehabilitation.
Furthermore. during the long
delay before the hearing on his
case. the child is usually left in
the community and sometimes
becomes involved in further law
violations. Thus, the possibili-
ties Of rehabilitation Of q child
referred to the court deteriorate
with the lapse of time before
treatment can be undertaken"
While the committee said it
was satisfied the basic cause of
the delay is the lack Of intake
workers, it seriously urged that
the social workers themselves
realize the Importance OF the
utmost dispatch in processing a
child's case. The report COM
planned that some Of the work.
ers tend to regard the period of
social study as primarily a PEI
Rod of treatment-an attitude
which the committee declared
was not legally sound and not
in keeping with the spirit of the
Juvenile Court Act.

for delivery. Such conditions
tend to make the Receiving
Home an institution for the cor
ruption Of children"
Rising Admissions Cited.
Noting the steady increase in
admissions to the Receiving
Home, the committee reported
that admissions rose from 1889
in fiscal 1850 to 1894 in fiscal
1853. The report continued:
Construction on the building
was interrupted in 1949 because
Of lack of funds. It has literally
never been finished. The esti-
mated cost of completion is
$55O.000; this expenditure would
increase the capacity of the Re-
ceiying Home to 159 children.
The deplorable conditions at the
Receiving Home require that this
expenditure be made as soon as
possible.
The unfortunate conditions
at the Receiving Home are ag-
gravated by the absence of GER
tain other facilities in the De-
partment Of Public Welfare. The
Receiving Home is the only place
where the department can keep
cronic runaways, children
awaiting placement elsewhere,
dangerously aggressive children,
psychotic children. expectant

It is emphasized In informed
quarters in Washington that
this plan does not mean that
America Is Understanding the
value of Europe in the strug-
gle against Communist totali-
tarianism. It means only that
this country had neglected for
too long the Asiatic potential
in the present contest between
freedom and slavery. and that
the time has come to wake up
and try to organize the re-
naming free countries on the
Asiatic continent.
We let China with her
nearly 500 million people go to
the U. S. S. r. by default at a
time when we could have
stemmed the Red avalanche.
It is only in the last two years
that we have become actively
interested in the conflict be-
tween the Communists and the
French in 1ndo-C China, a con-
flict which affects the whole Of
Southeast Asia.
Under the present admins
tration it was finally recog-
nized that the security of the
United States calls for as much
attention across the Pacific as
it does across the Atlantic.
A financial and economic
outlay, much smaller than we
have poured in Europe, is nee
essary to bring economic order
and military security in the
free countries of Asia.
Turkey, which we have sup
ported with money and arms
since 1947, is typical. During
these seven years we have
spent a little over 81 billion in
military and economic support
for that republic on the bor-
derS of the u. S. S. r. and her
Bulgarian satellite. Although
Turkey is poor country, she
has managed to handle her
own national revenue and
American assistance to create
some 81 modern battle-trained
divisions which our Joint
Chiefs Of Staff consider among
the best available in the world.
Politically, Turkey is far more

The U. S. s. r. has made
serious efforts to infiltrate
Iran and make it into q
Soviet satellite. It almost
succeeded when we, In order
to help the British in their
dispute over the Anglo -Iranian
oilfields, withheld economic
and military assistance from
that country. The opportunist
former Premier Mossadegh
almost succeeded last summer
in putting Iran In the Red
column. An eleventh. hour
coup d'etat. supported by the
Iranian masses, saved us from
such a tragedy. Negotiations
are now in progress between
Washington and Teheran not
only to straighten out the
British-Iranian dispute. but
also for q modest assistance
from America to help that
country economically and also
to build up her military poten-
tial.
Pakistan. with its nearly IS
million people. is called upon
to play an important part in
this prospective Asiatic anti
Communist grouping. The
situation was we'll illustrated
by the furor caused in the
Communist and pro-Com- :
munist countries throughout
the world when it was an
nounced that the United
States contemplated giving the
Karachi COVER ment the
necessary means to improve its
economy and particularly to
build up its armed forces.
Diplomatic blackmail was at
tempted in Washington by the
Indian government, which re-
garded such a step as directed
at India and warned us that
it might result in that coun-
try's going over to the Com
munists. It was illustrated in
the violent propaganda OUT
bursts not only in the
U. S. S. r., China. and their
satellites. but also in the pro-
Communist and liberal"
press in Western Europe.
Despite this hue and cry,
Washington is determined to
provide these free Moslem
states with the wherewithal
to organize a substantial de-
fense against the Communists
who are directly on their
borders.
