brary project women are paid
mf WPA to keep the school librar-

are being returned and to assist
the children in looking up refer
ences. 'Worn books are mended to

Si many instances the mended
Vooks are stronger than when
tht-y were new. This project
wwks very closely with the North
Carolina lihrary commission and
many school libraries have be-
eome standard (thus raising the
standard of the school) with the
work done by the women on the
■project.
Lunch Rooms
The WP.-t lunch rooms are set
wf primarily to serve hot school
lunches tor underprivileged chll-
fcen who either are given free
inches or are sen'ed lunches in
vhange for produce which they
rfng and which is used in the
reparation of the lunches. The
.eclslon as to who must have an
absolutely free lunch Is left to
Ihe teacher in the school. Less
than 5 per cent ot the lunches
served are paid for in cash. We
are told by County School Super
intendents from v-ariour: counties
that these hot lunches whicli the
ehildren have has done nuich to
'seep up yearly attendance, has
helped in disciplinary .problems
and has even helped toward fewer
failures in the year's work,
child who goes to scliool all way
without lunch can't be a good
jlndent.

hope that every school in the
county may soon have a lunch
room.
AdnH Bdacatlon
It is an astounding fact that
10 per cent of the (population of
North Carolina can’t read and
write. It is true that the people
failing in this category are usual
ly people who are past forty years
of age.. The WPA has a project
known as> the Adult Elducatlon
Project operating in this county
that'Is teaching hundreds of il
literates. In addition to the class
es In literacy these teachers also
work with the schools in a home
and school cooperation program:
they have classes In homemaking;
in group singing; they have de
bates and spelling bees. The peo
ple who work on this project must
meet certain qualifications as to
training and experience. An at
tempt is being made to unify this
work by having the classes at cer
tain centers throughout the coun
ty rather than having the teach
ers go to the students house.
