Land Transfer
For Hospital
IsApproved
Court Dismisses
Suit Challenging
Catholic Ownership
BY DANA BULLEN
Star STAFF Writer

A suit challenging the trans
fer of County-donated land to
the Holy Cross Hospital of Sill
yer Spring has been dismissed
in Montgomery County Circuit
Court.
In an opinion released today,
judges Thomas M. Anderson
and Patrick M. Schnauffer
ruled that the 10-acre tract
bought oy the County Council
over IS years ago may be used
for a hospital, which will be
run by a group of Catholic
nuns.
Five taxpayers had asked the
court to prohibit transfer of
the land to the Catholic unit.
The plaintiffs contended that
the land, originally donated by
the county to a non-sectarian
group, could not be transferred
subsequently by it to Catholic
group.
Open to All
The judges disagreed. They
found that the Catholic-owned
hospital would be open to all
regardless of creed and thus
would fulfill the original inten-
ton Of the County Council to
provide a hospital in the Silver
Spring area.
The court also ruled that the
five plaintiffs were without
standing to challenge the trans
fer because they had not suf-
fered any special injury either
as individuals or as taxpayers.
The judges noted that the
$4,000 the county originally
spent for the land would not
pay even the architects fee to-
day.
The court noted also that
none of the plaintiffs had con-
tributed to the fund currently
being raised to build the hospi-
tai.
In their opinion, the judges
said they did not feel it neces-
sary to pass upon the question
of whether there was an issue
of separation of church and
State.
Object to Policies
One Of the objections raised
by the plaintiffs had been that
the Catholic-operated hospital
would follow church policies
regarding birth control and
other aspects of childbirth.
The citizens, whose suit was
supported by group known as
ProteStantS and Other Ameri-
cans United for the Separation
of Church and State, also pro-
tested displaying of crucifiXes
and maintenance of a Roman
Catholic chapel at the hospital.
They said these things would
result in unconstitutional dis
elimination against the adher-
ents of other faiths"
The judges noted that the
land had been transferred by
the Silver Spring Hospital
Association, Ins.. to the Holy
Cross Hospital of Silver Spring,
Inc, after the association had
failed, over a period of IS years,
to raise money to build the
| hospital.
To Cost Sc Million
Defendants IN the injunction
suit were the Montgomery
County Council, the Silver
Spring Hospital Association,
Inc, and the Holy Cross Hos
pital of Silver Spring, Inc.
The hospital will cost Sc mil
lion. A fund drive Is on to
provide part of the money. The
Silver Spring Hospital Associa-
tion gave to the Catholic order
$102,500 realized from sale of II
acres of the original tract to
the State Roads Commission
in 1858. =

The
Rambler
... Encounters
Enforced IIIiterucy
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Did you ever go to kinder
garten?
The Rambler missed that
treat. He would have enjoyed
using brown and green cray
onS in an attempt create a
recognizable representation
of the cattails in the vase on
teachers desk.
He is sure he would have
enjoyed supervised play. But
somehow or other he grew up
without it.
For one thing, there were
few, If any, kindergartens
in the public school system
when he was 5. And for
another, he managed, by
begging, to get sent off to
school with the other boys.
The teacher was very nice.
She said she would be glad
to have him. And no fears
were expressed that being
in a classroom with children
who were older would leave
him socially maladjuSted
for the rest of his life. Per-
haps there should have been.
Not until the other day,
when the mail contained a
letter from a teacher en-
closing some of the National
Education Associations liter
ature on kindergartens, did
he realize how strict is the
enforcement on the 5-year-
old child, of a condition Of
absolute illiteracy.

him socially maladjuSted
for the rest of his life. Per-
haps there should have been.
Not until the other day,
when the mail contained a
letter from a teacher en-
closing some of the National
Education Associations liter
ature on kindergartens, did
he realize how strict is the
enforcement on the 5-year-
old child, Of a condition Of
absolute illiteracy.
A FOLDER entitled why
kindergarten" seeks to an
Swer that question. The first
answer is, 1T is important
that children learn to ad-
just happily at an early age
to group living" Another
answer is that "kindergar-
ten introduces him to
foundation learning in SCI
ence, mathematics, Ian
guage arts and citizenship as
he counts out napkins and
StrawS, helps weigh and
measure himself retellS
stories, makes observations
about weather conditions
and plant wildlife sees
clock and calendar. His de-
sire to read grows as he is
exposed to a variety Of books
that fit him to his special
interests"
Understand, this Is not a
program for backward chill
dren, but for normal 5-year-
olds.
Foundation Learning" is
explained in a booklet under
that title, by Meth Headley,
Institute of Child Welfare,
University of Minnesota.
This matter of When should
Johnny start to read?" ap-
parently is a sore point be-
cause she starts with it.
d" DO you have a "readi-
ness program" in your kin
dergarten?' This question"
Miss Headley writes, usually
loaded with academic or at
least a reading connotation,
can cause more good kinder
garten teachers to do battle
than any other single ques-
tion bearing on kindergar-
ten education"
Miss Headley goes on to
say that if the question
means reading readiness
work books" then "the good
kindergarten teacher would
probably be fortnight in
saying, No, we do not have
that kind of readiness pro-
gram in our kindergarten ="
MISS HEADLEY relates a
number of foundation ex-
periences in reading" The
first goes like this:
Teacher: S. - will you
please bring the mailbox
over here?
S. returning with a box
of nails, and looking doubt
fuD: is this what you
wanted?
Teacher (holding a sealed
letter in a CONSPICUOUS posi-
tom: Why did you think
we wanted nails?
S.: ohhh-I thought you
said the nail box. 1t was the
mail box.
Teacher: Nail and mail
they do sound a great
deal alike, don't they? And
they rhyme exactly. I can
easily see how you would
confuse the two.
Ram bier; No wonder
Johnny can't read.
Miss Headley tells about
Barbara. Barbara came to
school one day with her big
brothers World Book Ency-
clopedia. AS she got up to
show her book to the group
she said:
II know we aren't study
ing flags just now, but ]
thought you would be inter
ested in the pictures
These are flags of all diff
ferent countries"
If Barbara can express
herself like that, she should
not be in kindergarten, she
should be in college.
Understand, this is not a
diatribe against kindergar-
ten, it is against children al
the advanced age of 5 being
given such primary educa-
ton. This sort of thing il
for the nursery school,.
In England children of
are taught to read. If we are
ever going to catch up, We
had better make a start.

Dr.. Jackson, Founders Day
Speaker Urges Racial Elevation

government lifts a people, but
they must struggle, sacrifice,
and climb themselves. 'The
center of the responsibility is
with u.s." he said.
He based his speech on three
points: Negroes must "be bold
and frankly face their own
shortcomings" they must de
velop the technique of appre-
ciating themselves and their
talents. and be proud of their
race" and they must realize
the cause is greater than in
dividuals in it.
He spoke against sit-in de-
monstrations in stores and
"kneel-inS" in churches. IF
you have religion in your
church." he said, "use it. Don't
go kneeling in somebody else's
church"
cit is difficult for race to
face those things we still must
conquer, he said. He added
divisions among Negroes them
selves still exist because they
were brought from many
tribes and cultures before they
had a chance to unite as a
race.
Regarding sit-ins, DR.. Jack
son said, You can't get any,
where by just sitting down.
Even if you do put store out
of business, what have you
gained?"
He said overcoming crime
and juvenile delinquency
could not be accomplished 'by
counting the crimes of others"
He said no race could move
forward unless it appreciates
itself, adding that while Neg
roes want everything the Con
stitution promises, I'VE must
not compromise, but we must
learn to appreciate and respect
what we have"
He said the Negroes cause
was Americas cause, and the
cause must be anchored in
the Christian tradition"
Following the address, pres
ident Lee Williams of the Ma
tional Alumni Foundation pre-
sented a gift OF $1,000 to JSC
President j. L. Reddix.
DR.. E. Gray lizard of the
Board of Trustees of Institu-
tons of Higher Learning pre-
sented keys to new campus
buildings to Pres. Reddix.
The new buildings represent
a state investment of ST, 2OO,.

in Decatur, Ga, Surburb
of Atlanta, caught his. attor-
neys by surprise. They did not
know of his removal for the
jail until they went into court
Wednesday morning to ask
that the sentence be vacated.
A hearing on a request that
King be released on bond
pending an appeal was sched-
uled for Thursday morning,
Oct. 81.
DR.. King who gained fame
in the successful Montgomery
bus boycott was arrested in
Dekalb County, May l, on
charges of driving without a
Georgia drivers license. He
drew a fine of $500 and a
12-months suspended sentence.
The suspension was contingent
upon his not violating any
state, federal or local laws for
the 12-month period.
Last week, DR.. King was ar
rested during a sit-in demon
stration at an Atlanta depart
ment store cafeteria. He was
charged under Georgia's new
and anti-trespass law, enacted
specially to curb such protests.
Floods of protests against his
arrest were sent to Atlanta of
ficials and the trespass charges
were dropped. But before he
could be released he was
claimed by Dekalb County on
grounds that he had violated
terms of his probated SEN
tence.
College students who we're
jailed at the same time with
DR.. King were denied the use
of textbooks in their cells, but
DR.. King was permitted to
keep the Bible he was carry
ing at the time of his arrest.
