College folk
continue work
on illiteracy
The Newberry College drive
to reach every county in South
Carolina during the school year
in an effort to help curb illite
racy among the 230,000 adult
illiterates in the state got under
way last weekend (Sept.18-19)
when a team of two students
and one faculty member were
in the Morris Brown A M E
Church in Charleston to conduct
a training program.
“The project of teaching
adults to learn to read is one
of the most exciting things our
students and staff are doing,”
Dr. A.G.D. Wiles said in com
menting on the program. The
Newberry College campaign to
help erase adult illiteracy uses
the nationwide Laubach “each
one-teach one” method. Under
the Laubach system, a person
completes a nine-hour tutor
training session; after the train
ing period he is then able to
work individually with adult il
literates teaching them to read.
Newberry College is the of
ficial tutor training agency of
the South Carolina Literacy As
sociation (SCLA) headed by Ben
Bagwell of Greenville. The Rev.
Harry Weber, chaplain at New
berry College, is coordinating
the program again this year
stated that six more tutor train
ing sessions have been sche
duled through the middle of Oc
tober. Teams from the College
will be in Orangeburg, York,
Camden, and Goose Creek
(Berkeley County) September
25-26, Lancaster, October 2-3;
and Aiken, October 9-10 to con
duct similar tutor training work
shops.
Chaplain Weber spearheaded
the College’s participation in
the teaching crusade last fall
by setting up sessions to train
tutors. “Our first objective this
year,” Chaplain Weber said, “is
to continue the tutor training
sessions so that we can send
qualified persons to every cor
ner of the state to organize
workshops to train the volun
teer tutors.
Help in the project comes
from the South Carolina Junior
Chamber of Commerce (Jay-
cees), the SCLA, and from
grants from the Lutheran
Church in America. The agen
cies supplied funds, leadership,
the necessary teaching mate
rials, and the staff to conduct

History books
about state
at library
To help residents and visitors
know about the history of South
Carolina during 300th Anniver
sary, The South Carolina State
Library has published a list of
significant books about the Pal
metto State.
Copies of the list are now
available at the Newberry Sa
luda Regional Library, its bran
ches and on the bookmobiles.
Entitled “Historic South Car
olina, A literary tour of the
state,” the list is divided into
four categories each containing
titles on one particular period
of South Carolina history.
Samples of books from each
historical period fere: The Cul
ture of Early Charleston, deal
ing with South Carolina’s first
city during the formative years
of the state; Ante-bellum South
Carolina, a look at South Caro
lina society during the years
preceding the War Between the
States; Storm Over Sumter* cov
ering events at the beginning of
the War; and Porgy, reflecting
one aspect of Southern life since
the 1880’s.
In addition, the reading list
can be obtained at all highway
Welcome Centers and at each
of the three Tricentennial Ex
position Parks in Charleston,
Columbia and Greenville.
Volumes for the reading list
were chosen because they are
particularly good accounts of
various phases of South Caro
lina history and because they
are available in most libraries
throughout the country as well
as those in South Carolina.
Books for the reading list were
also selected on the basis of
general appeal and variety.
“If you enjoy reading and are
interested in the heritage of
your state, now is the time to
learn more about it. Ask for a
copy of “Historic South Caro
lina” and select the books that
will better acquaint you with
our state,” said Miss Verna S.
Kohn, librarian.

the training workshops at New
berry College.
“'Hie adult illiteracy problem
is acute,” W. D. Workman, III,
of Greenville said when he laun
ched the program at Newberry
in 1969. In urging all South Car
olinians to assist in the pro
gram, Workman stated, “It is
inconceivable that anyone would
seek to deny any individual the
education he needs to get by
in this world, regardless of race,
religion or any other conside
rations. This is a program of
good will in this state to work
to improve the lot of their
neighbors-and across the street,
not in the next county or the
next country.”
Workman is state chairman
of the Jaycee Adult Education
promotion Project and secre
tary-treasurer of the SCLA.
Twenty-one Newberry College
students and faculty accepted
Workman’s challenge and took
the nine-hour tutor training ses
sion. Following their training
period, they went to eight South
Carolina communities (Beau
fort, Central, Cheraw, Clemson,
Dillon, Laurens, Myrtle Beach,
and Pendleton) and trained 150
tutors.
Many of the Newberrians
weren’t satisfied in just train
ing tutors; they put their know
ledge to work and taught some
of the 3,175 adult illiterates in
Newberry County to read.
