This summer NCCJ continues its training of
teachers in human relations problems initiated in
1941. Some 50 workshops will be sponsored in
cooperation with leading colleges and universities.
These workshops will be conducted in periods of two
to six weeks, offering a laboratory in human relations
to teachers and community leaders from every sec-
tion of the country.
Of unusual significance is the workshop, open to
New York City school teachers, to be held at the
University of Puerto Rico. This special study course
has the sanction of the Puerto Rican government
and the New York City Board of Education and
reciprocates a workshop (illustrated at left) for
27 educators from Puerto Rico held last year at
NCCJ's national headquarters.
NINTH NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS-MAY 19-24- ,.
Police officials are among the first to commend
NCCJ for its pioneering efforts to train our law
enforcement professionals in the specialized skills
and techniques required to meet human relations
problems. Said one: "The phenomenal rapidity with
which education in human relations has developed
in recent years is due largely to the substantial
investment of the resources of NCCJ in the further-
ance of this type of law enforcement training."
Against this background, NCCJ will join in
sponsoring the Ninth Annual National Instituteon
Police and Community Relations to be held May
19-24 at Michigan State University.
Pictured at left is an institute work group an-
alyzing a problem in minority group relations. Dis-
cussions like these play a vital role in achieving one
of the basic aims of a democracy-a government of
law in which the police enforce the law with equal
justice to all.I

As part of its expanded program in the field of interreligious
relations, NCCJ brought together last month 40 editors of the
religious press at a national institute to consider "The Religious
Press in a Pluralistic Society."
Gratified with the success of the meeting, Dr. Lewis Webster
Jones, NCCJ president, said it was sponsored by the NCCJ's project
on Religious Freedom and Public Affairs to raise the general level
of public discussion and understanding among religious groups
differing on issues of public concern.
"We wanted the members of the religious press to ask themselves
what their responsibility was, on the one hand, to their own
constituencies, and on the other, to the groups with whom they
differ, so that conflict in the pluralistic society will not step over the
bounds of the constructive and the democratic."

business leader who accepts civic responsibility and as one eager to
build goodwill and understanding among the religious and racial
groups of the nation.
