H. A. Wilson, principal of
West Southern Pines School
and administrator of the sum
mer Pre-Readiness program
for youngsters entering
the first grade in Southern
Pines City Schools this fall,
called the program “very suc
cessful” this week.
The six-week program to
prepare youngsters for school
will end Friday, with 50 chil
dren having participated. Held
the East Southern Pines
Elementary School, four
teachers, each with an assist
ant, taught classes of about 12
youngsters.
Training in phonetics, num
bers, physical education and
“generally learning to play
and work together” was pro
vided. Of the 50, 38 were Ne
gro.
“The program has been
highly successful in all re
spects,” said Superintendent
J. W. Jenkins. “We have en
countered no problems what
soever.”
Mr. Wilson pointed out that
this program is federally sup-
potred, it is not the same as
Head Start. “It was set up un
der Title I of the Elementary
Secondary School Act,” he
pointed out. “It is very much
like Head Start, but is called
Pre-Readiness.”
Teachers in the program are
Mrs. Betsy Harris Mrs. Jac
queline Jones and Mrs. Edna
W. Morse, all from the West
Southern Pines Schools; and
Miss Faye Reid of East Sotuh-
ern Pines. Assistants are Miss
Casey McDonald, Miss Maria

All the teachers praised the
success of the program. “At
this stage they are very eager
to learn,” Mrs. Harris noted.
