KENNEDY SCHOOL
Job Education 6 Working
Wonders 9 For Retarded
BY GERTRUDE ANN KRAY
(N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE)
CHICAGO — Modern mira
cles are happening at the Lt.
Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., School
for retarded children here.
This is evident both in the
school's regular educational
program and in its job-training
center, now a little more than
two years old, where young peo
ple are given experience to fit
them for outside employment.
"An Opportunity for Dignity
Through Work," the motto of
the job-training center, has a
true ring.
SISTER Pierre, Jfchool ad
ministrator, cites one ex
ample a letter from Abel post-
IN* OUR STATE
marked Hawaii. "Abelmadethe
Navy," said Sister Pierre, "and
he’s really 'seeing the world.'"
"I'm so glad the Sisters and
everyone else at Kennedy gave
me such a good start," the
letter read. "Believe me, I
appreciate it now."
CLOSER to home is Ronnie,
now working fulltime for a con
struction firm. "Ronnie’s a
good Influence and the men like
him," said Michael A. Lom
bard, head of the firm which
employs Ronnie. "He has good
work habits.’*
Since Ronnie has no home, he
has a room at the school and
boards there. "He pays his bills
promptly," said Sister. "Early
in the morning, Ronnie rolls
out of the grounds on his way to
work in his used car. He has
learned to be punctual"
FOUR boys from Kennedy
school are at Maryhaven, a con
valescent home, as fulltime
workers. Three are employed
in the laundry and one in the
kitchen. On the basis of their
record, requests for additional
boys have come from Mary
haven.
Tom, another boy from the
school, has employment in a
cleaning establishment.
Ray is a mail clerk with one
of the midwest's largest manu
facturers of acoustical equip
ment.
"We emphasize the positive"
said Melvin Greenstein, direc
tor of the job-training program.
"Learning to work with the
hands and adjusting one’s per
sonality to others is stressed."
"OUR people have their dif
ferences as do normal persons.
That is to be expected," Green
stein said. "It happens in the
’workday world. The assembly
line is a great leveler."

ADMISSION to the Kennedy
Job-training center is available

years and up whose primary
handicap is mental retardation.

terview, and handling employ
ment applications.
The Kennedy project is prime
evidence for the contention of
experts that retarded children
can be helped.
ON APRIL 3, last year a
grant from the Vocational Re
habilitation Administration was
put into effect to provide occu
pational training for the men
tally retarted. Expansion of the
program has made lt possible
for the job-training center to
render service, on a non-sec
tarian basis, to mentally re
tarded persons who are not
residents of the school.
As a tribute to the Francis
can Sisters for their work in
behalf of the retarded, Michael
Lombard built the center as a
gift. Three of his daughters are
members of the religious com
