ALSTON, Bee y. 1 Subscribe to The Frank II* Times' 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.
