Nursery Schools
Proving Practical And
Popular
By Mrs. i. Henry Highsmith
A project of the ERE ? Emer
gency Relief Education ? program
that teems to be meeting an acutc
need and proving a blessing to the
communllioa in which they are
established k the Nursery school.
At first this project was looked at
askance because to conduct one
t success! ully required a combina
tion of efforts on the part of at
'least three federal agencies. The
teacher even if she succeeded in
organising a class of ten children
from two to six years of age whose
' parents were on relief or unem
ployed had to be paid from the
^ERE funds; she had to have the
hearty support of the CWA
worker in securing a place for
her school and for proper equip
ment, and also of the local direc
tor of relief in order to get food
for the children.
But the plan works. Already
more than 10t> nursery schools
have been organized In the state
and there Is a demand for more.
They have not only been _ found
practical In their operations but
they are also serving a group
that otherwise probably would
not be reached.
"Won't you please urge your
club women, church women and
citizens Interested in humanity
to help make this service to the
most unfortunate of all our peo
ple ? little children of the poor
and unemployed ? permanent* If
it could be made a part of the
educational system of our great
state, what a blessing it would
be! The good done would last aa
long as eternity." ? News-Observ
Louis burg and vicinity are to
be congratulated in having one of
these Nursery Schools in its
midst. It Is under the manage
ment ot Mrs. E. W. Furgursun.
assisted by Miss Mary Eleano? J
Jones, whose experience and
training for this work qualifies
them to render this community
valuable aid in this phase of child
welfare.
