Buildings for Children

Religious education of children is an important
element of contemporary life No congregation would
build church plant without envisioning an educa-
tional unit Frequently the latter takes precedence
the sanctuary.
Two city churches erecting educational buildings
illustrate both themes Of the modern emphasis
light and the desire to retain connection with the
past.
Historic Calvary Baptist Church at Eighth and H
streets NV, is erecting distinctly modern three
story gray brick limestone front educational unit whose
numerous windows permit the sun to penetrate into
almost every classroom

Light, Gods eldest daughter, is principal beauty
in building Thomas Fuller.
On the heights of Mount Saint Alban overlooking
the District of Columbia stands the impressive Wash
ington Cathedral, nearly 10 per cent complete.
Across town, dominating the Catholic University
campus rises the National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception its blue dome ginting in the sun.
Within the busting downtown business area an
open courtyard at recently dedicated First Congrega
tional Church brings sense of peace and tranquility
to the passerby.
These impressive structures exemplify the chang
ing mood Of church architecture within our city.
In some cases hand is stretched out to the past,
as the 14th century English Gothic Washington Ca
thedral atteStS.
In others, contemporary overtones add the present
to blending of the past This is happily illustrated
in the fusion of Romanesque and Byzantine architec
ture, plus modern spirit, in the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception.

decsively with traditional architecture Light the
theme of its imaginative semi-crcular front at Penn

past is not completely overlooked On the Penn
sylvania avenue side there is an inspiring figure of
Saint Stephen bending forward though distributing
fruit and fish to the poor. His presence emphasizes
that while we desire to break new paths 1t does not
mean severance with what has gone before

These examples of local church buildings rooted
in what has gone before emphasize the more modern
trend many recent houses of worship have taken.

On the other hand, equally historic Foundry
Methodist Church has retained the traditional ap-
proach by blending the school wing with the gray
exterior Of the sanctuary. To make space for the

century home that later served Foundry Church as an
office building, had to be demolished

Not the least of Washngtons changing faces is
the step-up, finally in the building of new schools
In the next few years. well-lghted modernistic-
and in some cases air-raid sheltered-schools will
finally begin replacing number of buildings which
some officials feel hardly short of falling in the
firetrap class
In this day of ever-increasng public school en-
rollments-the District figure this fall reached
record 126S00 studentsit is difficult believe when
one stops and thinks of it. that the opening II months
ago of Baou Senior High School at Fourth and Savan
nah streets Sc, marked the first time in eight years
that new high had been built here.
The reason, of course, is a lack OF funds That
in turn, is usually credited to Congress- which rules
on school appropriations.
In any case, Ballou, costing $36 million, won't be
long In reaching its capacity-ahout 1900 pups-and
what happens then no one knows.

The report on factory worker
earnings showed that spendable

drop of about 20 cents over the

The committee declared fur
Their that much progress needs
to be made in Mississippi in the
areas of voting rights, employ
ment security, freedom from
abuse in the administration of
justice, better housing, provi-
sion for postgraduate training
in higher education. recreation
al facilities, and accommodate
tions for the travelling public,
and in many other areas before
the Negroes of our state can
feel free to enjoy the blessings
that rightfully belong to all
citizens"
The state group in its report
to the Civil Rights Commits
sion, recommended that both the
commission and the Justice De-
partment probe police brutality
in Kinds County and surround
ing counties.
Many and at times almost
unbelievable reports of atroci-
ties and brutality perpetrated
by elected and appointed pub
lie officials in the capacity of
law enforcement officers and
under color of law were received
which simply could not be in
vestigated because of insuffic-
lent time"
The GROUP, headed by Rev.
Murray Cox of Gulfport, said
it worked under Extremely diff
ficult and limiting circumstan-
ces." The report added that
many state officials advised all
those questioned by the COM
mittee to refuse to answer.
The committee said, however,
that more than half of its mail
was favorable and added 1--WE
feel there is a rising tide of
public opinion that will make
tomorrow brighter"
The committee made several
other recommendations, includ-
ing:
That the Justice Department
provide protection for sponsors
of civil rights suits and per-
sons seeking to register and
vote.
That the President make fu-
ture appointment of federal of
ficials in Mississippi with con-
sideration to the appointees' at

AS far back as 1927, an
educational study by the Rock

that one or more of the five
colleges in the East Texas area
should move to Dallas, Fort
Worth or to Houston. The re-
port also suggested that two or

A companion report on fac
tory worker earnings said that
"as a result of the seasonal in
crease in consumer prices, the
buying power of factory work
ers' earnings was reduced by
about one-half percent over the
month" Spendable earnings -
or "take-home" pay-were al
most unchanged between June
and July, the report noted.
Robert J. Myers, deputy COM
missioner of labor statistics,
viewed the July jump as mot a
very remarkable development"
Prices had risen an average of
three-tenths of l percent in July
for the past 10 years, he said;
therefore, the five-tenths of a
point hike was not so unusual.
However, he noted the small rise
in June and the larger rise in
July did upset the relative price
stability which had existed since
last year.
The index had fluctuated be-
tween 1874 and 1915 from No
vember to May, then edged to

Summarizing federal employ
ment opportunities for Negroes,
the committee stated that, Gin
general, one could validity state
that very few Negroes above
the level of janitor are employ
ed by the federal agencies in
the state except for mailmen
and even those are employed
more or less depending upon
locality.
There is an apparent differ
entail between the number and
classes of jobs in which white
persons are employed and the
number and classes of jobs in
which Negroes are employed by
the federal agencies within the
state.

"The community needs to be
alerted to this difference, for
our federal agencies offer job
opportunities for all citizens re-

nation for the report with
courtesy, intelligence and an
awareness of the democratic
process to which we are all
