The National Council of Jewish Women, at its three-day executive meeting, adopted today a statement urging Congress to vote funds for school construction and educational programs.
“The United States needs more and better teaching and educational programs in the sciences so that we can develop and control the tremendous potentials of power and space which now begin to be recognized, in the humanities and social sciences so that we may continue to be an educated and free people,” the statement said.
“We need more and better schools so that our children will no longer have to endure overcrowded classrooms, double sessions and inadequate facilities. To build new schools now means helping ourselves as well as our children,” the statement concluded.
