Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-10-04

The church, nestled in a roll
ing hillside, is often noted as a
Montgomery County landmark.
Mount Zion Baptist Church
was founded in 1862 in a frame
meeting house, 80 by 40 feet,
costing about $1,000. But the
history of the organization
which formed the church
reaches back to 1855, records
show.
The first recorded history is
mentioned in History of Bap-
fist Churches in Maryland, 1912
1885," The history notes that
meetings were being held Eat a
school house since known as
Mount Zion"
Later the meetings We're
moved to the community of
Beane, now the corner of
Bells Mill and Old George
town rds. In 1859, the knoll
on which the church is built,
called spider Hill" during
Civil War skirmishes, was
purchased for a church site.
The congregation looked to
the future in dedicating large
new educational building, the
first unit of a master plan de-
Veloped for the church.
Built by C. M. Hale Co., Inc,
of Kensington, the rose colored
brick building is of colonial de-
sign to blend with the existing
structure.
Participating in the dedica-
ton of the new building were
DIR. Roy d. Gresham, executive
secretary-treasurer of the Bap-
fist Convention of Maryland,
and DR.. Claude A. Brubaker,
pastor. Open house was held
during the afternoon.
The new building is the
first of four buildings to be
added to the physical plant in
the future.
The day of celebration also
included honors for DIR. Bru-
baker, minister of the church
for 30 years. He came to
Mount Zion Church in 1892,
coming there from BerWyn
Baptist. Church.

PILOTS SHOULD

Flying an ideal aircraft in ideal

Things may be so good that the
pilot isn't prepared for the unex-
pected, DIR. Richard Trumbll
of the Office of Naval Research
told a medical convention here.
"The weather, flight plan and
aircraft design can be so good. SO
simple and undemanding of atten-
ton that misleading anticipatory
behavior will result" he said.
DR.. Trumbull suggested the de-
vising of deliberate ways for de-
grading too perfect a situation in

remember the Negro schools Of
those days, some held in dilapidat-
ed old churches. Construction Of
Negro school houses began in the
late 192os.
Almost 450 of these schools
were built in 1929. They were CO.
operative enterprises. The Rosen-
wald Fund offered a sum to be
matched. Thus was local pride and
moral conscience aroused"
The dinner at which McGin
spoke was part of a program OBJ
serving the Tooth anniversary Of
Rosenwald's birth. Rosenwald was
a trustee of the University of Chi
cago from 1912 until his death in
1882. He was also board chairman
Of Sears, Roebuck and company.
The dinner was attended by
members Of the Rosenwald family
and university officials.
Observed McGill: IT am well
aware Of the almost infinite varie-
ty of the philanthropy of Julius
Rosenwald. Mr.. Rosenwald was
born august IL, 1862, in Spring
field, Ill., almost directly across
the street from the house where
Abraham Lincoln had lived. That
this had a profound effect on his
life is not to be Questioned.
HE had Lncoln's compassion,
his strength, his faith, his liking
for maxims and his belief that the
common sense Of the common man
was uncommonly good"
At the Jewish Federation dinner,
Charles Aaron, past president of
the organization, said:
Undoubtedly, Julius Rosen-
wald's greatest philanthropic ac-
complishment was in the field Of
Negro education and the construc-
ton of rural schools for Negroes.

matched by funds from colored and
There again he agreed to make the
white people. When he began his
benefactions, inspired by the ef-
forts Of Booker T. Washington and
his Tuskegee projects, education
conditions for the Negro in the
South were appalling,
by the time of his death he
had contributed to the construc-
ton Of 5,357 schools, shops and
teachers homes in S83 counties Of
fifteen southern states, at a total
cost of $28, 500, of which he
had contributed $4,366,519 or Is
per cent. OF the total cost $18,104,-
115 or 65 per cent, had come from
tax funds. The Negroes them
selves had contributed $4,725, ,871,
or IT per cent, in a flood Of small
contributions. Local white friends
had contributed $1,211,97e or 4
per cent"
The little red school houses"
as the Rosenwald schools were
called in southern rural areas, are
remembered with affection and
gratefulness by many who attend
ed them and by educators, Negro
and white, throughout the nation.

risen to great heights in education,

Rosenwald fellows:

ian Associations in the US. This
is especially significant since Ros-
enwald was a Jew and Jews, too,
were denied membership in the
organization.
Rosenwald's relationship with
Booker T. Washington began al
most simultaneously with the
philanthropist's work in Negro
YMCAs. Wilbur Messer, then gen.
eral secretary of the Chicago
YMCA, introduced Rosenwald the
famed educator as they dedicated
the first Negro YMCA. Out Of this
initial contact and close friendship
grew the development of the much
needed Negro schools in the South.
In 1910 the YMCA announced
plan to raise money for a YMCA
building in Chicago. Rosenwald
was approached and after study
ing the project, announced that he
would give $25,O0O for a YMCA
building for colored people in any
city in the us. where an addi-
tional $4,000 was raised among
white and colored people.
He was told that the YMCA was
organized so that only Protestants
could be associated with its direc-
ton. His answer was that he want
ed nothing to do with the man.
agement but that it was his belief
that the Negroes needed more help
than any other group in the ma
ton, and that it was his hope that
by his example other wealthy
Jews, as well as non-Jews, would
be encouraged to do the same
thing.
Rosenwald's offer was given
wide publicity, was applauded all
over the country, both North and
South, and publicly commended by
President William Howard Taft.
Some Of the buildings, which were
subsequently announced, required
larger funds and Rosenwald in
creased his gifts proportionately.
His total contributions for YMCA
buildings amounted to $637, 900,
besides his contribution of $75, 900
for YMCA buildings. Twenty-Five
communities accepted the offer.
Almost $4,000, 900 was raised by
whites and Negroes for the work.
Fifty other communities which
were unable to meet the offer,
were stimulated by it to build
smaller branches.
The influence Of his (Rosen-
wald's) original giving for these
purposes has been felt to this
day." observed Jewish Federation
president Aaron.

Rosenwald Memorial award.
AS expressed by one of his sons
William Rosenwald, 'srhe (Rosen-
wald) Funds charter provided that
it was for the benefit Of mankind,
since dads giving knew no bounds
neither race nor space. Because
the Negroes were particularly dis
advantaged, he sought to improve
their position"
The son spoke at a dinner spon-
sored by the Jewish Federation

dent of the Federation.
McGiIl Credits ROsenwaId
Perhaps one of the greatest
tributes to the famed philanthro-
pist, in connection with his inter-
est in the welfare of Negroes, was
made by Ralph McGilL Pulitzer
prize-winning publisher Of the At
lanta (Ga.) Constitution.
McGill, addressing a University
of Chicago dinner honoring Rosen-
wald, said the aid that the phil
anthropist gave the Negro COM
munity in establishing schools in
the South helped to limit violence
during the integration crisis.
The Atlanta publisher, himself
the recipient of a Rosenwald fel-
lowship in 1878 for travel in
Europe, said:
1T is my studied judgment, ex-
pressed many times in recent
years, that the human and spir-
itual values created by the (Rosen-
wald) Fund have been among the
major reasons why so much of the
South managed to begin accept
ance of the United States Supreme
Courts school desegregation de-
cision without violence, and why,
when defiance did appear, there
were Southerners ready and will
ing to combat and help defeat it.
THE Rosenwald Fund offered
leadership and resources. It helped
blueprint change and the direction
of it."
During his lifetime, Rosenwald
gave more than $60,000,000 to
charity. OF that amount, some
$40, 900, 900 was given to help the
Negro improve his lot, especially
in the South.
Those who knew him well have
said that he believed his money
should be a stimulus - that phil
anthropy should raise the levels of
the people helped and have a posi-
tive result rather than be a merely
palliative measure providing tenn
porary relief" McGin said.
BY 1943, 5000 schools for Ne
groes in Is Southern states had
been founded with the help Of the
Rosenwald Fund, according to Nc
Gill, and a program to improve the
quality Of teaching had been in
stituted.
Commenting further, McGill
said:
The Commission on Interracial
Cooperation was created with the
Funds help In 1919. It was the be-
ginning Of something new In the
South. One Of our problems In
1862 Is that in many communities
the white people do not know what
the Negro community wants,
thinks or feels. One can imagine
what it was in 1919.
For one thing, they (the Ne
groes) wanted more schools. I can

J.S.C. Freshmen
To Find Revised
Counselling
Program In Sept,

Freshmen who enter Jack
son State College in 1862 will
find revised COZ 1selling pro-
gram in effect. The primary
purpose of the revamped pro-
gram is to reduce the mortality
of freshmen students in the
College, situation which has
become a major problem in
recent years. In announcing
the change, President j. l..
Reddix observed that the re-
viSed method would chiefly
benefit those students who are
potentially capable of doing
acceptable college work, but
who for one reason or another
fail to make the necessary adj
justments to meet Jackson
State College standards.
AS the new program pro-
gre~ses, it is expected that
some who would otherwise run
into serious academic difficult
ty will be saved" 1t is con-
ceivable, however, that some
will continue to have difficulty
and will be placed on academic
probation and, perhaps, even
tually drop out of the College.
A feature of the proposed
program is that meetings be-
tween freshmen advises and
advisors will be definitely
scheduled and not left to
chance. A director of Fresh
men Studies will be in charge
of the program.
Orientation of freshmen at
Jackson State College for the
1862 term begins Tuesday,
September II.
