Bold New Plan For Church And State Share In Schools

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Religious leaders and public ! school officials are quietly exploring a bold new plan for churchstate cooperation in the education of America’s children. Supporters say it would settle the controversy over public aid to parochial schools, and at the same . time open the way for more adequate religious education of millions of children attending public schools. And. they say, it would achieve both of these objectives without violating constitutional requirements for separation of church and state. Here’s how it would work: Public schools would continue to offer a complete program of studies for all children who elect fulltime attendance. But they would also offer a “.shared-time” arrangement, under which a child would take some of his courses in a church school, and others in a public school. .For example, boys and girls enrolled in Catholic elementary and . high schools might go to public ' schools for instruction in such subjects as mathematics, physical education, industrial arts and home economics. Receive Religion Credit Protestant and Jewish children, while taking most of their academic courses in public schools, would have the option of spending a substantial portion of each school day in a religious school. And they would receive full academic credit for any approved I courses which they took there. This would mean, to choose two illustrations at random, that a [ Jewish child would receive the ■ credit for mastering Hebrew in a synagogue school that, he gets for j learning Spanish or French in a public school: and a Hresbyterian youth coufd Study the Bible or church history under professional teachers provided by his church during periods of the regular school day when he might other- , wise be taking elective courses in i [ a public school. i Proestant, Catholic and Jewish . leaders have been exchanging , views on the proposal for several , months on an informal, private ! basis. A full-dress conference of jffligious leaders and public school j officials, to consider its pros and t cons, is now in the works. , Although no religious body or I educational organization is yet committed to it, the discussions indicate that it has powerful appeal for at least four different groups. Cite Religious Illiteracy The original proponents were leaders of several major Protestant denominations who are deeply concerned about the religious illiteracy of vast numbers of American children. These leaders know that a child cannot learn much about his faith from one hectic hour a week at Sunday school. They are not optimistic about the average parent’s ability—or willingness—to do the job at home. And they see no constitutional way in which public schools can inculcate .religious insights and values. Protestant efforts to provide systematic religious courses outside of regular school hours (or within the school day on the soi called “released-time" basis) I have not been outstandingly successful. These courses are by defi inition “extra-curricular activities” to public school children, and they suffer from the competition of a vigorously promoted school program. These Protestant leaders like the "shared time” concept, first for the practical reason that it would allow more room for systematic religious education within a child’s normal curriculum, and second for the theological reason that it recognizes the church as a full partner, by right and not by sufference, in the nurture ! of children.

Catholic Leaders Sympathetic Catholic leaders have responded to the proposal with active and sympathetic interest. It falls considerably short of a direct public subsidy for Cathoiic schools, which many Catholics feel would be justified on the basis that these schools are doing a job for the state by educating one-eighth of America's children. 1 L But Catholic educators recog- j nize that any subsidy will be politically difficult it not impossible to obtain. Jewish leaders, traditionally wary of any arrangement that divides children conspicuously into religious groupings, have been divided In th eI r reaction to: “shared time." Some are very skeptical of the whole idea. Others are attracted by the prospect of averting the dangerous churchstate entanglement. Public school officials tend to be appalled by the administrative difficulties which “shared time’ would involve. But some of them see great merit in the plan. They believe it would help to unite j Americans of all 1 faiths behind measures to improve the public school system.
