Jaycees sponsor
adult education
Hoping for a breakthrough in
basic adult v education, the New
berry Jaycees join in Septem
ber with other Jaycee chapters
across the state in appealing
to church volunteers for help
in alerting thousands of funct
ional illiterates to the oppor
tunities for education.
The Jaycee project is en
dorsed by Bishop Paul Hardin
of the S. C. United Methodist
Church; Preston Callison, pres
ident of the S. C. Baptist Con
vention; the Rev. Arthur Mar
tin, executive secretary of the
S. C. Presbyterian Synod; and
the Rev. Harry Grout, social
ministry chairman of the S. C.
Lutheran Synod.
The two-pronged Jaycee ap
proach to promoting adult lit
eracy includes:
(1) A door to door education
census to obtain more pros
pects for the state’s free basic
education classes held in pub
lic schools at night. This cen
sus is to be conducted by vol
unteers from the various com
munity church organizations,the
result being reported to local
education officials.
(2) Activation of local “Each
One Teach One’’ literacy tutor
ing groups in cities where such
volunteers exist and formation
of literacy tutor groups in cit
ies where none exists. “Each
One Teach One” program is
endorsed by Dr. Billy Graham
and other churchmen as a pos
itive approach to adult illiter
acy. Using this method, vol
unteers from churches help per
sons learn to read who can’t
be persuaded to enroll in a
classroom situation.
