Little Gains Loom Big
In Development School
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
Star staff Writer

Unlike most school directors
Or. Maurice H. Fouracre needs
few records Of his students
progress.
He sees it every day as he
meets the youngsters at the
doorway Of the school. Jean,
for example, may correctly
identify the color Of her new
coat.
Jerry may walk straight up
the stairs, instead of dragging
one foot after the other. step
by step.
DR.. Fouracre's charges usu-
ally have great smiles as they
arrive at the school Of the st.
Johns Development Services at
1921 Utah avenue NV.
DR.. Fouracre will be honored
at a reception from 5 to Z pm.
TODAY at the Cosmos Club, 2l2l
Massachusetts, avenue NV. The
reception Is being sponsored by
the Board of Trustees and the
Ladies Board of the School.
Fifty Students
some of the so students can
not distinguish print from the
page it is on. Some. when they
look at a picture, can see only
one detail of it. The latter is
a fixation pattern.
one boy must have his own
quiet area for study because his
attention becomes fixed so
easily on a distant sound, such
as q typewriter. which most
persons would not be conscious
Of.
The so students range in age
from 4 to is. But their mental
ages are az to 7 years. From
accidents and illnesses before
or during birth or in childhood
the children's brains have been
seriously damaged. i
Many like them must spend
their lives in institutions, a life
unproductive to themselves or
society.
But DR.. Fouracre, the new
director Of the school, which is
supported by members OF st.
Johns Episcopal Church, La
fayette Square, is devoted to
proving this confinement is not
necessary, in most cases.
Self Sufficiency Lessons
Within the physical limits OF
the present school, his teachers
(two for every class of 10 stu
dents) teach the children as
much academic work as they
can. But the major effort is
training-to tie shoe laces, to
button clothes, to make beds, to {
wash dishes, to clean rooms,
or as DR.. Fouracre says, Ito be-
come self sufficient"
An expanded program to
teach simple skillS that can
gain the students employment
is under development. DR..
Fouracre hopes to continue this
program past the usual grad
uation" age of 16.
Too many present graduates
Of schools for the retarded re-
turn home to nothing and thus
retrogress, the director says.
He would like to program his
school so that two older stu
dents could share the same job,
each working half-time and
returning half time for train
ing and counseling.
$4,000 Budget
DR.. Fouracre hopes to build
a larger school designed around
this concept on wooded Sec
ton behind the present struc-
ture. I

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Born, This Day, A Saviour"
was the subject Of the scholarly
sermon delivered by the DIR. Mas
sey at the II am. service at Pill
grim Baptist Church Sunday, Dec.
%, 1862. Taking his text from
Luke 2:11, the minister told the
worshippers that the world In
which Jesus was born was one Of
unrest at a time when there
were more wars than there are
today, although it was not possible
to destroy as quickly as it can be
today. AS it is today, power meant
more than love.
DR.. Massey continued that Jesus
came when the people really need
ed a Saviour. The message was
the same then as 1t is today .
A Saviour is born If we can accept.
Three groups accepted during
those days: (1) Shepherds .
they were wise enough to see the
birth and returned praising God
for the things they had seen. They
were simple people but wise
enough to hear the word Of God.
We too can get the message. (2)
Wise men earnest seekers of
truth. They realized they could
not be free til they found the
truth. And thirdly, Mary and JOS
eph poor couple going to do
their duty. Christ is the Saviour
of family life. There is no family
without Christ.
In conclusion, the minister eau
toned the congregation not tc
crowd Christ out Of Xmas through
various activities. We need to be-
hold the babe in the manger and
get the spirit in our hearts

beaten down the doors to the in
side postal jobs where they are
performing all the jobs once the
exclusive domain Of the superior
male.
Mrs. Lane, a petite mother OF
three and a divorcee, was sworn
in Nov. 26 and has been assigned
to the jackson Park station.
I'm not a crusader for women's
rights or anything like that" she
said. II need a good job and this
was the only opening available"
Mrs. Lane, a former hair dres'
ser, lives with her children, Val
erie, IL, her s-year-old twin boy1
Anthony and Timothy, and theil
dog Molly.
Postmaster Harry Semrow said
when Mrs. Lane applied for
job, she passed all the examina
tions except truck driving. Sh'
then went to a vehicle renta
agency, learned to drive a truck
came back the following weel
and passed the test"
During the first few days ol
the job was quite embarrassed,
Mrs. Lane said. II had to delive
mail to the homes of some friends
I put the mail in the mailbox, ram
the bell, and ran"
Mrs. Lane will soon take rout
by herself. She is paid $2.25 a

our hearts; We must select gifts
that is the best which is ourselves
being cleansed and filled with love.
The meaning of Christmas is
love come to earth in the birth
of Christ and that God so loved
the world that whosoever believeth
on Him should not perish but have
everlasting life"
Christ is God incarnated in flesh.
Only God can forgive us. I am
come that they may have life
more abundantly. God came to
earth to atone the sins of the
world. In the New Testament, we
find if Christ had not come we
would not have had love, hope,

ever and ever E.
