Set The Course

The Allied Civic Group is prefectly correct we be-
eve, in its contention that the Montgomery County
Junior College should rid itself of technical industrial
arts and vocational courses and concentrate on aca-
demic training.
AS matter of fact it's time some of our top
school officials stopped regarding the junior college
mere extension of the public school system Instead
they should take steps to protect its status in
stitution of higher learning by setting up sitter en-
trance requirements and providing more autono-
nous setup far its relationship with the school
Board is concerned.
The Boards Curriculum Study Committee recog-
nized the need for change in junior college pro-
cedures when its recommended last year that policy
of selective admissions" be established In addition
the committee proposed that applicants who showed
no promise of successful achievement be turned down.
1t is no secret that many members of the junior
college faculty unhappy over the nsistence by
school administrators on grouping them with public
school teachers Virtually all of the Junior college in
structors and professors have masters degrees and
many of them possess doctorates. Also, many are
members Of the American Association of University
Professors 1t obvious therefore, that their higher
qualifications entitle them and the Junior college to
more independence in the operation of their institution
and more rigorous academic requirements on the part
of their students
II additional technical and vocational courses are
needed, they should be centralized in one or more
special secondary schools-another Curriculum Study
Committee recommendation. These schools the COM
mittee explained would provide an atmosphere of ex
ceence" because of the concentration of similar ac
tvtes that cannot be present in the ordinary schools

Adequate Housing

Enclosed is a small contri-
button for the Douglas Mason
family, whose plight following
a fire was written up in the
last issue of the Montgomery
County Sentinel. 1t is fine
thing for the newspaper to
take the initiative in helping
out local family.
However, the usual cause of
these home fires, so often ac-
!. companited with loss of life,
is the substandard housing
with rickety heating equip
ment characteristic of slum
housing. To really help the
Mason family and others in
their community group, we
need positive steps to get low
income families into better
housing.
If President Kennedy had
decided to issue an order ban
ming racial discrimination in
Federally financed housing, we
might have seen some real
progress in getting these fam
lilies into adequate housing.
But it appears he like his
predecessor has decided to
sacrifice the welfare of the
colored community to appease
the Southern-conservative Goa
lition in the House.
If the Sentinel would use its
influence to urge such an eX-
ecutive order, they might be
instrumental in bringing about
some lasting good. Helping
one family who have been thru
a narrowing experience is
commendable, but it doesn't
really reach the basic problem.

An Open Letter to the
Board Of Education

! was deeply hurt to read
the Jewish Community Coun-
Gil of Greater Washington has
proposed that all religious OBJ
servances and practices be
eliminated in the bile
schools. 1t is said, they re-
present lit Jewish organiza-
tons; but just how many in
dividuals do they represent
with this view? 1 think very
few.
/ have many Jewish friends
and this is not their opinion.
Neither my Jewish friends or
myself want God eliminated
from our school life. The fun
damental belief in God is the
basis of all our freedoms. We
want our children to have this
precious heritage which so few
children enjoy in the world to-
day.
We Christians have so much
in common with our Jewish
neighbors. Our Christian way
of life, the Commandments
have been inspired by the wis
dom of the Israel of the Old
Testament. The many cultural
traits of the Jew are valuable
characteristics, adding to the
betterment of the community
and the country. The Jews
love of learning and active
com m unity participation
should be an example to all.
Their generosity and respect
for the human person, for
theirs is the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, a personal
God related to other persons,
is most significant. This love
and respect for the person is
manifested in every area of
Jewish life-the careers they
choose, their philanthropy, and
even their sense of humor.
Their traits of temperance and
family solidarity should be a
standard for all.
We have so much in COM
mon, why can't We love one
another. Let the children have
God i'm our schools. We Chris
tan and Jews will benefit and
America will too.

No Prejudice

Men are frail creatures and often tend to blame
others for predicaments for which they, themselves
are responsible.
Thus Carl NJ Estep 19year-od Negro, who
had confessed to the rape of elderly white woman
tried to blame prejudice in the extremity of his peril
when confronted with possible death sentence in
Montgomery County Circuit Court.
1t is fitting that another white woman Judge
Kathryn L. Shook took the occasion to bring Estep
back to reality and make him face the fact that he,
and no one ese was responsible for his deed But
further that his color played part in her decision
to send him to prison for the rest of his life
The nature of his crime would have amply justi-
fled Judge Shook in imposing the death penalty.
Testimony during the trial showed that the youth had
broken into the woman's home and had brutally
beaten her. There was no apparent reason for the at
tack.
But he was entitled to, and received fair trial.
He defended by one of the ablest lawyers in the
county. For him to claim prejudice the part of
either the county or the court is obviously like
drowning man grapsing at straws
Judge Shook is to be commended for her stirring
words. They make it clear that she abhors prejudice
as having no place in any judicial proceedings
