The community par i ticiip'atipn angle was of particular interest.- _._ ■ i The children were expecting wie ; visitors from Japan and wei* j ready with their questions. In turn the Japanese wanted to find jut much from them. In the group were an artist and a singer. They sang Japanese songs and wrote ever, a large part of their time ^asspentWffir Itbiarydbaerving the children. The men took pic tures and drew plans of the li jbrnry to take back.ter Japan. W. B. 'Wilder, principal'. G. T. Proffit, i county superintendent, and Miss Botnar attempted to answer the 'many questions ‘ concerning IdhC library. _ ... One afdhe.. most exciting in cider.ts was the Japanese educator asking two children to autograph i their.picture that had appeared in the '.North Carolina Education ! Magazine. j To make the trip complete, the children got the visitors’ opinion of General MacArthur.* “And what ] doy you think of General Mac 1 Arthur?” asked a six gjader. The famous educator beamed and an swered “We respect him. We think he is a very fine man.” The group included seven men all representative of different dy fpes of school libraries in Japan t ranging from- elementary schools ! through secondary schools and un I iyersities do those dealing with j problems of adult education.
