men are children of God, then
all men are brothers.
QueStiOn-"Can you give me
the names of any books which
I might read which would give
me proof that all of the stories
of the Bible are true?"
Answer-No, because no such
book exists. The Bible was not
meant to be a textbook of
science nor a book Of history.
1t is a collection of great books
of faith.
I have quoted above only one
sentence in your long and inter-
esting letter. The general prob
lem which you have about
reconciling Biblical faith to
modern science is an old and
familiar one.
There are two recent books
which would be extremely help
full to you. One is Dear Mr..
Brown" by Harry Emerson
Fosdick and the other is "Dia-
logue and Destiny" by Albert
Edward Day. Both of them are
published by Harper Brothers.
Chapter six in DR.. Fosdick's
book deals directly with the
question of science and the
Bible.
QuestiOn-"Can you tell me
where in the Bible it says that
God will destroy the earth by
fire in a twinkling Of an eye?
I am unable to find it now and
would appreciate your help"
Answer-The only place in
which the phrase "twinkling of
an eye" appears in the Bible is
in I Corinthians 1852, but that
verse says nothing about de-
stroying the earth by fire.

But if there is to be any adj

the Administration would be
well advised to probe deeply
into the feeling of let-down
that is so clearly evident among
the Presidents hitherto strong

more than Ike needed Sherman

The basic difficulty is that
the President does not seem to
be taking the public into his
confidence. Neither he, nor all
those articulate men around

Perhaps it is because there are
no clear policies, merely impro-

for the Virginia House of Dele
gates, called last night for
quick action to wipe out voting
restrictions that "perpetuate
the governing Of the State by

Mr.. McCann spoke to a group

ing of his campaign head
quarters at SIT King street.
Mr.. McCann is opposed in the

ent Robert T. S. Colby and

Mr.. McCann asserted that
there was a need for State

Mr.. Thompson was renomi-
mated in the recent Demo-

after a recount conducted un-
der a three-judge Corporation
Court panel. Mr.. Thomson's
opponent Dennis K. Lane,
could not appeal the recount

School Plan
Questioned

! The Allied Civic Group of
Montgomery County has ques-
toned the cost and effective
ness Of a Board of Education
proposal to keep schools open
all year round.
The group sent an 11-page
critique and QUESTIONABLE on
the proposed program to the
board and civic group members
discussed the critique last night.
The letter was signed by Mil
ton M. Rodes, Education Com
mittee chairman.
The 12-month, four-quar-
ter plan was unveiled by
School Supt. C. Taylor Whittier
last spring. He submitted it to
the Board of Education for
study and asked citizens and
citizens groups for their re-
action.
Tried Elsewhere
The Allied Civic Group letter
said that according to the Ma
tional Education Association
there is no school system using
| the plan on a city-wide basis.
1t said several school districts
had tried the plan and aban-
doned it or studied it and de-
cided not to adopt it.
The AZ questions covered top
les including: Additional school,
ing in man-hours the student
would receive;
Effect of frequent change of
teachers on student achieve
ment.
/ Concurrent vacation periods
for children from the same
family attending different
schools.
tive Difficult
ties with two school systems if
the 1874 plan we're not used
in the less populated Upper
County;
And the increased cost of
additional personnel and the
operating and capital budgets.
The letter also asked 'how
much of a net reduction in the
school tax rate" would be real
lied under the plan.
Reply Requested
The letter asked for a writ
ten reply and inclosed COM
mentS from school districts
where the plan had been sban-
doned.
In other business, Philip
Marcus, chairman of a new
government operation commit
tee, praised a controversial re-
port by the Prince Georges
County Civic Federation on
Prince Georges County govern
ment.
He said the civic federation
had produced IAN interesting
and able report" and that he
hoped this committee would
come forward with something
as constructive as that" on
Montgomery County govern
ment operations.
