DUNBAR ELEMENTARY

The second story of our new
wing has reached the place
where it is possible to see h e
form that it will take. 1t is truly
fascinating to watch the struc-
ture grow day by day. Df course,
Mrs. Folson's third grade class
has had the discomfort of h e
greater part of the noise since her
windows are on the east side of
our present building.
Brotherhood Week exhibit was
displayed in the front hall. The
special display was the work of
Miss Angelina Stewart, a first
grade teacher. Mrs. Jollivette's
first grade class conducted a
Brotherhood program on last Fri

period. LESLIE Thomas presided.
Numbers on the program in adj
dition to group singing were a
poem by George Buobee; read
ing Of the cla.S chart ON Broth
erhood by Karen Pinckney, and
a special prayer by Rose Conklin.
A number of Dunbar pupils

At the monthly meeting of the

Mrs. Matte Johnson, was honor
ed with a token in remembrance

the previous year.
The PTA is in the midst of a
membership drive. A quota has
been set as our membership goal.
We are enlisting the aid of parents
who are now members to solicit
members for the PTA.
The third grade classes made
certain that the children in the
primary grades would be aware
of the important days during the
month of February. With the as
sistarce of all their teachers, the
boys and girls ON the program
gave those present a delightful
and informative account of the
days we celebrate during h e
month. ST. Valentines Day, and
the birthdays of the two presi-
dents were highlighted in words
and song.
At our last faculty meeting, we
had as guests four members of
our county school system in the
person of Mrs. Maude Reid, and
MeSSrs. David DobbS, James
Cherry and Carl Rhetta. Our fac
ulty was enlightened as to the
growing program offered at North
western High School. In their
talks, it was pointed out that
there are a number of curricu-
lum offerings of interest to teach
erS and other adults we might be
in contact with. An appeal was
made to mention the program to
other prospective enrolees when
ever the opportunity presented
itself.
There is nothing like seeing
to believe" it has been said
countless times. Since this state
ment 10 still being proven true,
the children in Mr.. Robert Nc
Kay's sixth grade class can veri-
fly this, too. They have been
studying the country of Germany,
its physical setting, people and
customs.
AS a visual exhibition of what
learning had taken place, the
pupils created a complete model
of German village. The land
scape is most interesting with
waterfall and what have you al
done in relief. What an eNceri-
cnce it must have been for thu
children to not only see the model
but to create it with their own
hands.

LABOR'S DAILY

If a perennial optimist and hopeful that
the Congressional trend toward antunion laws
may be halted and even reversed he might draw
small measure of comfort from recent address by
Senator John L. Mcclellan, chairman of the Senate
rackets committee
Speaking in New York City before the Advertising
Bureau of the American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
cation Senator Mcclellan said that after years of
trial and experience under the TaftHartley Act, "a
fair and udicious evaluaton of how the law has OPP
Grated is in order.''
He said that his committee is studying and investi-
eating phases of the statutes operation involving
criminal improper practice activities that have
been engaged in since the act passed.
We unable to enthuse labor's prospects for
relief from Improper practices and activities prac
ticed against it by management since Taft-Hartley
enacted, at least from probe managed by the
Arkansas senator
1t is inconvenent for to forget that Mcclellan,
like most other conservative Southern Democrats voted
for Taft-Hartley and against every effort to
some of its union-shackling sections And his box
score is quite bad most legislation favored by the
trade union movement.
Mcclellan said that the committees Investigations
will be limited to the associated with
abor-management relations But he warned "You
may be assured that management will receive proper
attention in this investigation but it will be largely in
the field to which he referred
