March %, 1861, by the De-
partment of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare which dis
cussed the First Amendment
and Federal aid to education.
The H-E-W study is accused
of relying on sweeping gen.
ordinations in some of the
majority and many of the dis
senting opinions" Of the SUI
preme Court, instead Of upon
the exact rulings.
The government memoran-
dunn held that "across-the-
board" grants and loans to
church-related elem e n t a ry
and secondary schools are un-
constitutional, as are tuition
payments for all pupils in
these schools.

Other major contributors,
Consedine said, were George

CRITICISM AND advice on
the study, he added, came
from numerous authorities,
and professors of constitution

Michigan Law School; Dean

Antieau of Georgetown Uni

DeWolfe Howe of the Har-

Although all of these au-
thorities have on recent occa-
sions taken the position that
certain types of inclusion of
church-related schools in Fed
eral aid to education would
be constitutional, none has
specifically endorsed the posi-
ton set forth in the study,
Consedine said.

involved in the purposeful
support Of religion" it adds.
THE STUDY ALSO saws
that parent and child have a
constitutional, right. support
ed by U. S. Supreme Court de-
cisions, to choose a church
related educational insti t u
ton.
And, it states that govern
ment has been denied power
by the courts to impose upon
the people a single education
al system in which all must
take part.
The study notes that SIS
million students, around Is
per cent of the national to-
tai, are in Catholic grade and
high schools. 1t estimates that
Catholic schools in 1860 saved
taxpayers 1900, 900, 900 in
education costs.
SOCIAL, AS WELL as eco
nomic, benefits come from
Catholic schools, it continues.
"Typically, the Catholic
schools are a meeting place
for children of different eco
nomic and ethnic back k
grounds They have his
~torically proven an invalu-
able training ground to pre-
pare citizens for full partici-
patton in a pluralistic Soci-
ETY."
Turning to a detailed re-
view of constitutional issues,
the study says that opponents
of aid to church-related edu-
cation generally rely on the
First Amendments phrase
that Congress shall make no
law respecting an establish
ment of religion"
But, the study says, history
teaches that the so-calleo mo
establishment clause was
meant to keep government
from transgressing upon re-
ligious liberty and was not in
tended to prevent relation
ships "even certain CO.
operative relations h p
between Church and State.
THERE ARE THREE de.
cisions of the Supreme Court,
it reports, which bear direct
1y upon the inclusion of
church-related institutions in
governmental prog r to
carry out public welfare OBJ
jects.
"Not only do none of these
decisions hold such aid-pro-
viding unconstitutional, they
fatty affirm its constitutional
ity," says the study.
The first case, an 1899 one
known as Bradfield VS.. Rob-
erts, involved payment by the
Congress to a Catholic hos
pital for treatment and cure
of poor patients.
THE COURT HELD that
the payment did not consti-
tute an appropriation to a re-

schools. Cathol cs, Protest
ants and Jews had risen in
opposition to the law.
The high court held that the
law denied parental and child
rights freely to choose edu-
cation in nonpublic, including
church-related, schools.
In regard to legislative pre-
cedent. the NCWC study says:
mo stronger answer is to be
found to the argument that
no aid may be afforded edu-
cation in church related
schools than the fact that the
congress has in mum erous
WAYS over the years deliber-
ately provided such aid"
1t notes that Al such pro-
grams OF aid have been re-
ported by the Department OF
Health. Education and We'll
fare. One program has result
ed in 488 grants of land and
buildings to religious-affiliat-
ed schools of 35 denomina-
tons, it reports.
The study then n
trates on possible loss to the
nation and to supporters Of
private schools by massive
Federal aid programs limit
ed to public schools.
PREDICTING THE weaken
ing Of all church-r e !
schools, and the closing of
many, it adds that this would
mean that parents would no
longer as a practical matter
possess their freedom to
choose a school other than
public.
Moreover, a practical gov
ernmental monopoly on edu-
cation would result" the
study charges. "This would
not only dangerously trans
form our free, pluralistic So
ciety, but would also pose the
most serious problems re-
specting freedom Of belief"
Freedom of belief is threat
ened. it says, because "values
are inculcated in all schools,
not only in those in whose
curricula specific ethical or
social concepts are advocated,
but also in schools whose cur
ricula distinctly omit such
concepts"
The person whose con-
science dictated choice of a
church-related school would
be coerced to participate in
schooling whose orientation
would be counter to his be-
lief, the study says.
There are some questions
the study expressly excluded
from its scope. They are: the
basic constitutionality of Fed
eral aid to education; the con-
stitutionaIity of Federal aid
to education exclusively in
public schools; and the consti-
nationality of Federal aid to
religious instruction.
The study did not attempt
to explore whether there ex-
lists a need for large-scale
Federal aid TO education.

ligious society in violation
of the mo establishment"
clause.
In the second case, the 1880
decision in Cochran VS.. Board
Of Education, the court held
that it was constitutional to
use state funds to provide
secular textbooks for all
school students because this
served a public purpose.
In the third, which is the
famed case of Everson VS..
Board of Education, decided
in 1947, the court upheld a
New Jersey statute which
provided that, as part of a
general transportation pro-
gram for all students, reim-
bursement to parents might
be made out Of public funds
for the transportation of
their children to Catholic
schools on buses \ regularly
used in the public transporta-
ton system.
THE UNDERLYING prin-
ciple of the case" says the
study in reference to the
Everson ruling, SIS that gov
eminent aid may be rendered
to a citizen in furtherance of
his obtaining basic citizen ed
ucation, whether he obtains it
in a public or a private, nom
profit school"
Two other decisions are al
so cited. They are McColIum
VS.. Board of Education and
Zorach VS.. Clauson.
Both, says the study, con-
Germ released time religious
education and not Federal
aid, but they do contain court
comment on the controversial
mo establishment clause.
THE l947 MccoLLUM de-
cision, it notes, brought the
phrase "wall of separation of
Church and State" into prom
inence, but the 1851 Zorach
case made it clear that the
phrase was not to be taken
"in any absolute sense"
TWO ADDITIONAL deci-
sions ''invo living the all
important rights of free
choice in selecting education
al Institutions" are cited.
They are the 1923 ruling in
Meyer VS.. Nebraska and the
1925 decision in Pierce VS.. So
ciety of Sisters.
IN THE MEYER CASE, the
Supreme Court reversed the
conviction of a Lutheran pa
rochial school teacher charg-
ed with violating a state law
making it a crime to teach
In any elementary school any
language other than Eng
lish.
The court said the law vio-
lated the rights of the teach
err, the parent and the child.
1.-THE court thus struck at a
doctrine which is everywhere
identified with to"talitarian re-
gimes and which is unhappily
on the t in the
United States: the view that
all educational rights are the
possession of the state" the
NCWC Legal Depa r t
study says.

On the whole, the exercise

Further comments in the cor

Therefore" the letter con-

our opposition to any form of
financial aid to education under
which there is any control or

New Way to Study
Decimals Is at Chambers

Beauty in Hundreths" is the
intriguing title of the current
display in the main hall of
Chambers School. 1t is difficult
to see what it could mean. But
the display tells its own story,
and tells it very we'll.
1t turns out to be an exercise
in the study Of decimal frac-
tions, carried out by the sixth
grade pupils of Mrs. Cornelia
Stockstill, the departmental
mathematics teacher. The prob
lem was TO visualize the physi-
cal amounts of such decimals as
81, .18, .06, rs, .54, and .25.
And here is how the problem
was solved. On blocked graph
paper, the children prepared six
large squares, each exactly ten
small squares on side. This
meant that In each of their
large squares they had one hun
dred small ones.
Then they were to color only
as many small squares as the
above figures required: 81, IS,
6, and so on. They could pick
any design they chose, but they
had to have exactly as many
small colored squares as the

Board Members Oppose
US Aid To Education

The letter from Cincinnati
has been distributed throughout
the state and thus far, East
Cleveland board members have
been the first in this area to
take a stand on it-officially or
otherwise.
At its meeting Monday night
the board approved the 1861
operating appropriation calling
for $2,654,880. This figure is
close to $150,0OO or Sc per cent
higher than the amount ap-
propriated for last year.
The Board also approved an
after-school class in the use
Of calculating machines for ad-
vanced math students.
In other business, the school
calendar for 1961-1962 was
adopted and as this year, there
will be school on Washington's
birthday in 1862.

maintenance by Henderson, it
was noted that there is some

sive instruction being given this
semester to the upper grade
children in Superior School, in
three specialized fields.
Once a week for two of these
subjects, and twice a week for
the third, the students take part
in special classes in art, read
ing enrichment, or remedial
reading. The classes are taught
by Superior teachers who have
had special training in these
areas: Miss Ruth Kaps in the
first, Miss Norma Goldstein in
the second, and Miss Arlene
Wolf in the third.
The "vitalized program" is
not an extra activity group
project, but a regular part of
the curriculum for the upper
three grades.
Enough time has been made
available to them so that prob
lens in each field can be studied
in some depth, and the parti-
cular skills of their teachers
can be used to their fullest ex-
tent.
In Miss Ruth Kaps' Art
course, for instance, the full
five-step method of free draw
ing techniques known as the
Ralph Pearson Method is en-
ploved.

Many Ways to
Prepare Book Reports

Ask any Of Mrs. Hazel Strug-
giles fifth graders at Prospect
School what their last "book
report" was like, and you will
get almost as many different
answers as there are children
in the room.
Of course, you read your book
first. But then there are a large
number of things you can do
to report on it to the class. You
can make map of it, if it was
a travel or adventure book; you
can prepare a "This Is Your
Life" skit, if it was a biogra-
ply. You can make an adver-
tising poster or a book jacket
for it, or work out a "chalk
talk" on the blackboard about
it, or write it up in the form
of a diary.
If friend of yours has also
read the same book, there are a
number Of things you can do
together. You can discuss it's
story before the class, or write
each other letters about it, or
stage a debate involving some
point in it. such as "Was Tom
Sawyer or Huck Finn the
hero?" In fact, it should be al
most as much fun working out
a good method of presenting the
book to the class as it was
reading it in the first place.
Letting the class in on it has
two advantages, and one draw
hack. The advantages are that
you are learning how to express
yourself well in public, and that
you may get other children in
terested in reading it. The draw
back is that you mustn't give
the plot of a mystery story
away, or at least the ending Of
it; the skillful person will tell
just enough of the story to get
them to want to find out what
happens, and then stop.
