of the "most crucial issue in
our country today" — equal
access to economic security.
"The health of the whole
nation," he said to the 100
churchmen and business, gov
ernment and industry represen
tatives at a consultation lunch
eon, "is dependent upon our
achieving some real progress
in this area rapidly.
"We are now in a grave sit
uation, I believe, because of the
aborting of the promise made in
the Administration's anti-pov
erty program.
‘This program was conceiv
ed as a vital part of the fol
low-through on the civil right
struggle. It promised much.
Now it seems to be foundering
in a morass of disinterest from
the White House — because of
preoccupation with the Vietnam
war — distrust of and actual
hostility to indigenous leaders,
and a failure to enlarge the
program beyond token pro
grams."
In charging that the Admin
istration has been guilty of
"distrust of and hostility to in
digenous leaders," Dr. Spike
at the same time pointed out that
* there are great limitations on
what the government can do in a
sprawling free country like ours
— and that is good."
The churchman, who now heads
a pioneering theological edu
cation program in social min
istry areas, called for broad-
based effort to enlarge job op
portunities for minority groups.
This effort, he said, should
reach down from a “permanent,
federally subsidized public em
ployment program" and a
"thorough over-hauling of the
Federal and state employment
services" to local level in
volvement by governmental,
business, civic and church-
groups.
Dr. Spike acknowledged that
various key leaders of business
and industry have worked quiet
ly and effectively in reforming
their hiring practices, but also
noted that the **wide gaps"
have been left in the overall
under-employment situation.
"Churches should highlight
this," he said, "as strongly as
they did the civil rights issue."
He also declared that volun
tary agencies should not only
work for greater equality of op
portunity, but should also "be
impeccable in their own hiring
practices.’’
"Many of these agencies," Dr.
Spike said, "fail to practice
what they preach. They don't
pay their lowest unskilled help
enough; they don’t put Negroes
in their highest executive posi
tions; and they are often care
less about which companies they
do business with."
The "chilling fact" aboutthe
Negro employment problem is,
said Dr. Spike, “it is unlikely
that changes can be made fast
enough.”
Jobs and markets are very
complicated structures and one
factor has been a pool of unem
ployable or expendable workers
at the bottom of the heap, he
said, noting that these people
are mostly Negro.
"It will take real attention,
real ingenuity, real manage
ment to do what mustbedone—-
bring about foil employment in
this country, and beyond that
open up the channels of ad
vancement for people...widen-
ing the ropes and ladders from
one level of jobs to another."

(N. C. W. C. News Service)
CHICAGO—A nun took issue
here with the view of some Cath
olic diocesan school superin
tendents who claim provisions
of the Elementary and Secon
dary Education Act of 1965 (ES-
EA) leave them dependent on
the initiative of public school
administrators.
Sister Miriam Joseph Far
rell, principal of St. Mary's
^ Elementary School operated by
, the Daughters off the fcresen-'
' tation of the Bfessra Yirgin
' Mary at Gilroy, Calif., stres
sed in an interview that the con-
cept of “shared services” is
built into the legislation which
was enacted into law just a
year ago—on April 12, 1965.
The nun, who gave a key ad
dress (April 13) at the 63rd
annual National Catholic Educa
tional Association convention
here, said a number of Catho
lic school officials, including
herself, want to see “shared
services" supplanted event
ually by "shared time" as a
more valid and workable goal
of Catholic educators.
Sister Miriam Joseph ex
plained the distinction between
"shared time" and “shared
services" is this:
Under "shared time” the
nonpublic school student goes
to the public school or to some
center for educational services.
But ‘ shared services" are
provided where the child is,
namely in the private school.
The special teachers remain
public school employes, the
public agency retains title to
equipment used, and special
programs are administered by
public school officials.
GENERALLY speaking, Cath
olic school superintendents
have expressed satisfaction
with “shared services,” as
well as with other provisions of
ESEA, she said. When com
plaints have arisen they have
been made largely on the claim
that the act leaves Catholic
school superintendents depen
dent on the initiative—or lack
of initiative, as one superinten
dent put it—of the public school
officials, she said.
Sister Miriam disputed the
validity of this complaint. She
acknowledged that Catholic
school administrators are with
out legal standing, at least un
der Title I of the act, but she
said alert superintendents still
have plenty of opportunities to
get the ball rolling without wait
ing for the public school offic
ials to do it for them.
She said Catholic school su
perintendents have the moral
obligation to take the initiative
in this matter, especially in
view of the fact that public
school administrators are often
short-staffed and unfamiliar
with the needs of Catholic
schools.
‘The public school person
nel with whom I have dealt and
the people at the U.S. Office of
Education are sensitive to the
delicacies of the Church-State
issue in education. They are
equally sensitive to the intent of
the Congress to provide the
same opportunities to all our
children," Sister Miriam said.
The nun said "shared servi
ces" have several advantages
over “shared time."
"It is more realistic, makes
“*e asidf scheduling po ssibie; land r.
presents an opportunity tofneet ’
the needs of our pupils in re
gard to the basic skills without
sacrificing our own Catholic
educational commitments,"
Sister Miriam said.
SHE DISPUTED the opinion
that “shared services" are
meant to be a kind of “last re
sort," to be used only when
"shared time" is impossible
or very difficult.
"A reading of the law makes
it clear that shared services is
the encouraged approach to
meeting individual needs,” she
said.
In her address *. the conven
tion, Sister Mi. am cited sev
eral examples of "shared ser
vices” in action. These includ
ed a mobile reading clinic in
Riverside, Calif.; a similar
clinic operating out of the Dun-
kirk-Fredonia, N.Y., reading
center and psychological ser
vices, under the Sisters of St.
J oseph; benefits accruing from
the Michigan Auxiliary Services
Act which offers visiting teach
ers and remedial reading ex
perts to non-public schools,
and a proposed implementation
in Denver where v students in 22
public schools and six nonpublic
schools will receive remedial
reading training from teachers
whose salaries will be paid
from a grant under Title I of
ESEA.
SISTER MIRIAM saidTitle III
of the act, nicknamed PACE
(Projects to Advance Creativi
ty in Education) is the "most
exciting and revolutionary”
section of the entire law. Al
though the most common inter
pretation thus far of Title III has
been that of providing educa
tional centers, the intention of
the title is not limited to these
centers, she claimed.
. ‘The program may be offer
ed in centers, or the centers
may send personnel to the
schools, if these personnel re
main under the control of the
local educational agency," Sis
ter Miriam .told the delegates.
‘Title III is intended to be a
community effort, and while the
authority for all projects re
sides in the local educational
agency, much latitude is given
in formulating projects. Shared
services do fall within its
scope," she said. "However,
because the ■ most popular inter
pretation of this title envisions
both public and nonpublic school
children receiving instruction
at an educational center, shared
time should be kept in focus."
Sister Miriam said many dif
ficulties have yet to be ironed
out before ESEA is fully im
plemented in various locales.
She said she thought many of
these difficulties might lie in
the realm of personality prob
lems among administrators.
Speaking at a press confer
ence during the convention,
Msgr. James C. Dononue, di
rector of the Department of
Education, National Catholic
Welfare Conference, also
praised, the "potential" of
ESEA, particularly its title III.
He said that Catholic schools
have had less participation in
Title III than in the other titles
of the act because Title III,
"being the most challenging,
was also the slowest to get
going."
Msgr. Donohue said it might
be five years or more before
Catholic school administrators
realize the full impact of the
Elementary and Secondary Edu
cation Act of 1965.
