College receives literacy grant Newberry College will share in the $10,000 grant which the Lutheran Church in America awarded Friday, January 29, to the South Carolina Literacy Association (SCLA) to expand its literacy training program. The Lutheran college is the official tutor agency of the SCLA headed by Ben Bagwell of Greenville. Newberry’s role in the literacy campaign is to train tutors to teach adult illi terates how to read using the “each-one-teach-one” method. During the 1970-71 school year, the College under the di rection of Chaplain Harry We ber has conducted tutor train ing programs in 11 South Caro lina communities: Aiken, Allen dale, Beaufort, Camden, Char leston, Goose Creek, Hampton, Lancaster, Orangeburg, Union, and York. The student-faculty training teams have also sche duled a second training session in Orangeburg and one in Flo rence during February and March. “We stand ready to train vo lunteers in any South Carolina community,” Chaplain Weber said, when the $10,000 grant for the program was announced by Dr. Karl Kinard, president of the South Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church in Ame rica. The campaign to help curb illiteracy among the 230,000 a- dults in South Carolina began in 1969 when the South Caro lina Junior Chamber of Com merce (Jaycees) and the SCLA began the tutor training ses sions. Students and faculty at Newberry College took an im mediate interest in the pro gram by volunteering to take the necessary training to qua lify as tutor-trainers. Bagwell said that in addition to the tutor-training program conducted by Newberry College, the SCLA hopes to conduct an nual door-to-door campaigns oromoting adult education in each county in South Carolina, to organize a strong literacy association headed up by vo lunteers in every county, and to obtain United Fund support in every county to support the activities of the SCLA.
