Maui, assistant director cf the .NBA Research Division and author of the study. “If we look m our present classroom teuildir.. record, we can see that those thou sands of extra classrooms needed to cut down class size will not i>- -, coming unless we have a strong school construction drive,” Maui added. These facts about classroom ov ercrowding were disclosed at the 6-day conclave: 1. fn all urban school districts school class size is 30.1—which means that half the students are in classes larger than 30. 2. The NEA estimates that al* .; most, 300.000 students in city grade schools are on half day schedules this year—as compared to just under 250,000 in 1955-56. 3. More overcrowded classes arc in sight, thanks to lack of class , rooms and teachers. More than 31,000 new classrooms and teach ers would be required right now just to level off the larger than 30-student classes to that size. 4. Increase in class size instead of reduction is the prevailing pal tern in all areas. Today more than 146.000 urban children aw in grade school classes of more ; than 45 students each. Some 540. 000 city elementary school chil dren are attending classes of ; more than 40 mu a total of two j and a half million are in. classes | of more than 35. 5.

SHEPARD HYMN OF THE MONTH O God. beneath thy guiding hand ■ Out enslaved fathers crossed the L sea, • And when they trod the wintry strand With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee The above lines have been t-ak : en from, the July hymn of the month, "G God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand.” By substituting ' the word, “enslaved for the word, “exiled.” which appears in the original, this hymn should in ' spire all black folk to a reaffirm ation of faith and a new dedica : tion to the ideals of our enslaved ■ forefathers. We should never al i low ourselves to for pet that it. way the guiding hand of God that brought us the freedom, we now • enjoy. In thanksgiving and revet -1 cnee, we should daily express our humble gratitude to our fathers I God, It was their tireless devotion, • untiring faith and prayerful wor ship that sparked the fires of li berty and brought the triumph of freedom to an enslaved race. The July song of the month was written In 1883 by the Reverend Leonard Balm, a noted congrega tional minister, teacher and au ' thor. The .Rev. Mr. Balm was the author of several noted hymns out the one chosen by the Federation of Music clubs for this month, is ■ considered his bset. “SOME ONE MIGHT BELIEVE IT:” Raleigh chief of police has been quoted as saying he was dig ' nifying with an answer, the charges of ‘pressure' a Raleisn policeman has lodged against t-lr? department because “some one; .might believe it.” Well, we sup- j pose it is only natural for the chief to make every effort to defend his ; department, after all he is the ‘ head of it, and if he doesn’t de fend it who would he expect to do so But. we wonder if Mr. Davis 1 seriously feels that his denial ol the charge brought, by the aecu- - ing police officer Is going to keen “some one from believing it." W« can’t believe that Mr. Davis is so ! naive as that, We do not know live facts in the case but we believe that where there is so much smoke thre must be some fire. There is possibly some merit in what Mr. Davis said about the mat- j ter, there is possibly some tner | it in what the police officer i has said about it. In between these conflicting statement may be the truth. We are not trying to place any evaluation on what Mr. Davis has said in his defense or on what the the police officer said when he made his open charges. What we would like to say lo Mr. Da vis is that in spite of his vig orous defense of hi- police de partment some one is going to believe what this policeman has said. SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW • With all the furor raging about school integra tion in Little Rock one of tit* most touching and dramatic hap penings in that embittered clcy has been virtually overlooked. We ; refer to the measure of respect ; that Ernst Green the only Negro : to graduate from Central High in : Little Rock won from 14 of bis j : white class mates. Along with the white Central High Seniors, Ern i est. bought a copy of the school’s 'year book. According to ancient j customs seniors write farewell | messages in one another® book . Hopefully, Ernest looked around j i for some of his white class mates; to write messages Lt his year book,' we submit quotes from some of the 14 white seniors who wrote: messages on Ernest’s book. "You - have stood the test and passed it.' May you always have this much courage." “Your friendship has meant r- lot to me. may God bless ; you richly.” “I have admired your courage this year. I am glad you. made it through alright.' 1 “I real ly admire you Ernest, I doubt if | I could have done half so well had : the circumstances been reversed " “I have found you to be a ml; nice fellow. It has been r. sin -; cere pleasure to have been your 11 i friend. May God always guide you; and keep you safe."
