(ANP)-A recent report submit

South Carolina State Administra-

among the Negroes of the state
who have been consis emily denied
the fundamentals Of education by
lack of schools and training and
by the inequalities of State legis-
lated funds as between white and
Negro school childrsn.
According to the report of State
Administrator Pinckney, a survey
of 51,006 Negro homes in South
Carolina made in the fall of 1895
revealed that 27,916 mothers and
fathers could not read, 28,397 could
net write, and 1869 children BE-
tween the ages of six and fourteen
years were out of school. This in
formation, brought up to date by
a later house canvass by teachers,
is the basis upon which the present
program has been worked out.
At present the WPA program
employs a total of 242 teachers to
conduct 953 classes. The total num-
Der of enroliees is II, 956, while
the number participating in relat-
ed activities S approximately &c.
500. More than 10000 persons have
been taught to read and write.
The program now includes liter
acy classes, general adult educa-
ton, nursery school, classes in
agriculture subjects, and classes
in homemaking. In addition, al
students are given basic instruc-
ton in health and sanitation. re-
creation, and the use of library
facilities.
As a result of this work, Mr..
Pinckney reports, many pupils, old
and young, who were illiterate
three or four years ago are now
doing work of fourth and fifth
grade levels, and the beginners of
a year ago IRE writing simple let
tiers and reading simple materials
of first and second grade levels.
At the same time there has been
created within the parents the de-
sire not only to better their chill
dren's condition, but their own as

with the new business slump in
Cleveland. In an effort to meet
the demands of the relief situation
the mayor had ordered city service
men from their jobs so as 10 make
up the amount Necessary to carry
the relief load.
This move on the part of the To-
cal administration was not the
wisest thing to do. for the city m
ployees were barely getting their
pay as it was and as soon as they
were laid off, many of them rushed
the relief windows seeking aid.
Colonel Joseph II. Alexander,
county director of WPA, asserted
that "there are enough vacancies
existing in projects already under
way to absorb many workers, ex-
ccpt for white collar workers who
number about 20 per cent Of the
total eligible. By the first of the
year we expect to have ample new
projects authorized"
An all-time record number of
direct relief applications was re-
ceived here Tuesday. The total was
S56, according to reports. The
number is rapidly increasing. A
weekly record of LISP was set
last week. About Sta per cent of
these new applications were color
