BRENAU GIRLS TO
FIGHT ILLITERACY
Student Body Volun-
teers To Undertake
Work In Vacation

GAINESVILLE, May 12.-Girls al
Brenau college will help in Georgia s
fight on illiteracy. Practically the
entire student body has volunteered
to devote part of their time during
vacation, which they will soon have,
to individual education work.
Each student, under a plan suggest
ed, will be a self-appointed teacher to
help any and all persons with whom
they come in contact who may not be
able to read and write.
Many of the girls, particularly IN
the higher classes, have been trained
as teachers, but the work to be un-
dertaken by the students as a body
will not be confined to those who will
adopt teaching as profession. All
of the students, wherever they may
be during the summer holidays, will
undertake to teach one or more adults
the rudiments of the English lam
guage.
The present movement is not en-
tirely new with the students at Brc-
nau. Shortly before the Christmas
holidays last year faculty members
discussed the subject of illiteracy,
giving a brief history of what was
being done to wipe it out throughout
the state of Georgia and other states.
Many of the students at that time
pledged themselves to render what
assistance they could during the va
cation period in the fight on illiteracy.
Several of the girls had the satisfac-
ton of reporting that they had taught
