Courses Stress
Moving Force
OF Religion

ST. LOUIS, Mo - (NC) -
Parallel courses dealing with
religion as a moving force in
preSent-day America will be
offered by st. Louis and Wash
ington Universities here, the
first a Catholic school and the
latter non-sectarian.
The courses were requested
by several local organizations
and it is felt the classes will be of
help to persons who work regularly
with individuals of varying reIig-
ious backgrounds, such as teachers.
social workers and nurses.
Washington University will offer
the first course during the spring
semester. 1t will be entitled Re
ligion in Contemporary America"
st. Louis University, a Jesuit insti-
tuition, will follow in the summer
session with a course entitled RE
ligion in American Society and Ed
ucation."
A joint statement issued by the
two institutions follows:
zone of the most cherished fea-
lures of our democracy is the re-
ligious freedom it guarantees-th
right of every citizen to worship
(or not to Worship God as his con-
science directs. This freedom has
given rise to one of the most vigor-
ously plufaliStic religious cultures
in the world, the chief strands of
which are Catholicism, Judaism,
Professionalism and Seeularism.
MANY benefits flow from our
religious freedoms. But our d.
versify also presents problems.
Some OF these problems stem
from simple misunderstanding;
they are rooted in irrational
PreiUdiees, false sfersofypes. and
fears which have no basis in
fact.
"0ther problems are real in ev-
cry sense. They arise from con-
flictS in purpose and from ulti-
mate differences in conscience and
perspective. If they are met Gre
atively, it will be because the
American people approach them
with the maximum intelligence,
Imagination and good will of which
they are capable"

1850 cubic feet are added be-

This gives a total Of 24,328
cubic feet.
Rates Applied
Since two-thirds Of the house
exterior is brick and the rest
Is frame, two-thirds Of the cubic
fottage-16.218-is multiplied by
so cents, the Class A-minus rate,
and one-third of the footage-
8.110-is multiplied by As cents,
the Glass B rate.
This gives us a basic assess
ment of $11.758. Because the
roof is asphalt shingle rather
than the standard slate, 5000 is
subtracted, leaving $11,55S.
Allowing seven per cent de-
because the home Is
seven years old. we subtract an
other 5000, leaving $10,749. To
save on the arithmetic, this is
rounded to $l0.750.
The home is on an irregular

standard lot for assessment pur-
poses is so by $50.
