WOODSTOCK, Va. April 10
A proposal of the Shenandoah
County School Board to reacti-
vate country one and two-room
schools to relieve congestion in
town schools along the Valley
pike had met with opposition in
petitions from citizens.
The issue is over reopening
schools in Conicville and Mount
Herman areas because Triplett
High School at Mount Jackson
Is overcrowded. The School Board
says the Mount Jackson school
is only one of several similarly
overcrowded.
Seventy-fve parents in the
Jerome area led the opposition.
The School Board is propos-
ing reopening rural schools be-
cause the Shenandoah County
Board of Supervisors advocate it.
Voters last June opposed a $2.5
million bond issue for two con-
Solidated schools.
School Board members de-
cided to attend a meeting Of the
Shenandoah Supervisors on
April Is to defend a budget re-
quest for $749,779.

AgencYCo-operation
On Juveniles Needed,
Shea Tells Educators

A look at the total forces in
fluencing children today is
needed if the problem of juve-
nile delinquency is to be met, the
spring conference of the Educa-
ton Association of the District
was told today.
The conference of teachers
and administrators, stresSing a
cooperative approach in seek
ing the development of we'll
educated, good citizens. was be-
ing held in the Mayf1ower Hotel.
District Welfare Director Ger
ard M. Shea said that programs
of school, recreation, health and
welfare departments Of a city
government need to be more
closely co-ordinated to attempt
solution Of the problems of chill
dren from inadequate homes.
Reading Difficulties.
In describing Welfare Depart
ment experience, Mr.. Shea said
children increasingly are coming
into it's care with such acute
reading difficulties that the child
could not have taken part in
classroom work. Illustration and
antagonistic behavior results all
too frequently, he said.
Glasses for children from more
deprived areas of the city should
be smaller, he suggested. add
ing that frequently some of
these children apparently do
not know their behavior is con-
trary to good citizenship.
Manual Training Helps.
Mr.. Shea pointed out that
many children committed to the
department benefit from manual
training at an early age. Voca-
tional training at the high
school level does not meet the
needs of some, nor do typical
academic classes.
Mental limitation plus the
lack of stimulation in the home
prevent these children from
having much intellectual curioS-
ity OF ability" he said. "They do
want to achieve and can do so
in a program of simple manual
training"
But both Mr.. Shea and another
speaker, Dean Elmer Kayser Of
George Washington University.
emphasized that formal educa-
ton could not do the whole job.
Too often, said Dean Kayser.
people think of education as the
job of the schools alone and
think of it as something that
starts when children enter a
schoolroom and ends when they
leave.

civic group; last night asked for
a plebiscite to determine wheth-
er the taxpayers Of the District

Juvenile Cases
Not for Prosecutor,
Senators Told

Whether cases involving juve-

Bolitha j. Laws of the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia said yesterday.
He made the statement dur
Ing testimony before the Senate

II do think we should have a
judge make a determination of
that type" he told the subcom-
mittee. This matter of waiver
is of very serious concern"
He said he does not agree
with the Commissioners, who on
Thursday approved a proposed
bill to allow the United States
attorney to decide which cases
should be tried in adult courts.
No Objection to Rover.
Judge Laws said he would
have no objection to United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover
making the decision, but he
added that attorneys who follow
him in that Office might be of
the type who would not. exercise
good judgment.
Judge Laws agreed with Chair
man Hendrickson that Che United
States attorney should be given a
chance to be heard before a de-
cision is made on whether a case
is to be tried in adult courts.
Defense attorneys also should
be heard" he declared.
Californian Agrees.
Judge William B. McKesson,
presiding judge of the Califor-
MIA Supreme Court, agreed with
Judge Laws. +@<f
Waiver should be a judicial
function" he said.

l can show equal understanding
of theirs. Oh yes, l neglected to
mention the Bahai faith which
we hear about in New York, q

center in Haifa. Its main prin-
ciple is to join ali religions by
taking the best from each, re-

The mention of religion brings
up the great feeling of gratitude
that l have been able to come to

to have travelled when he was

Straight, Annals house, the
window from which Paul was
supposed to have escaped, etc.
On the way from Damascus
to Jerusalem by automobile, we
saw the Mount of Temptation,
Jericho, the Jordan river and the
Dead Sea, and a most impressive
view of Jerusalem even when
we were miles away Then,
Bethlehem, Bethany, the Mount
of Olives, the Garden of Geth-
samene, the Holy Sepulcher, the
Judean hills, the plains of
Tharsu, the Sea of Galilee, the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION, and
so on. The city Of Jerusalem and
the Sea Of Galilee touched me
most deeply.
How Jesus must have loved
both of them and how much
they must have influenced him.
