no way for them to get into enemy
nations or even open up contacts
with commercial houses in other
countries. To bring the situation to
a head, the Army suddenly found
itself in possession, particularly in
Germany, of thousands Of books not
belonging to individuals or to cul-
tural institutions.
The Library of Congress was the
natural agency to act for these
library interests. On September 10,
1945, representatives of the State
and War Departments and of the
leading library associations met in
the Office of DR.. Luther H. Evans
Librarian of Congress, and agreed
1.-The Library of Congress would act
as the sole and central collecting
agency for captured publications
turned over by the Army for pur-
chases in countries where normal
commercial channels were not yet
reopened." That was how the
European Wartime Acquisitions pro-
gram and the Library of Congress
Mission came into being. Reuben
Peiss. a graduate of Trinity College
and a former member of the Har-
ward College library staff, became

Materials Are Acquired
Through Three Divisions

The Acquisitions Department gets
its material through three divisions
Order, exchange and gift, and serial
record. The first purchases books
wanted by the institution. The ex-
change and gift division receives
books through gifts, copyright, de-
post, international and national
exchange with libraries and other
agencies, through official exchanges
of Government publications with
foreign countries and by transfers
of material from Federal agencies.
The serial record division receives
incoming periodicals.
Perhaps the most interesting of
the special projects set up to bring
material to the Library is the Euro
pean Wartime Acquisitions Mission.
When war broke out in 1899 it be-
came obvious that the ordinary
channels of obtaining books from
overseas would be disrupted A

divisions previously doing the job of
acquiring material for the Library.
Werner w. Clapp, .fromer admin
istrative assistant to the librarian,
was appointed director of the new
department. His present chief aides
are James B. Childs. assistant di-
rector for planning, and DR.. Morti-
mer Taube, assistant director for

In many ways the Acquisitions De-
partment is the heart of the Library.
Its primary function is to bring new
material into the institution. During
the fiscal year 1945 the Library re-
ceived 1884 ,6l9 new books and other
materials, which brought collections
of materials-books, maps, music,
unbound newspapers, periodicals,
etc.-in the institution to 24,923 ,337

TRAIL-BLAZING attack on
adult illiteracy, which pre-
vents some 100000 Amer

leans from functioning as
citizens, began last week with classes
in the South to teach the 3 Rs via
Army perfected, modern, educa-
tional techniques.~
When the Army was faced with
the problem of wasting thousands
of potential soldiers because they
lacked the ability to read, write and
understand military instructions-lt
didn't dilly-dally with the CAT

1t put into each illiterates hand
an adult reader called Meet Pri-
vate Pete" which leaped right into
such words and adult concepts as
soldiers, guns, the girl back home
and the buddy in the next barracks.
Through these speedup methods,
the Army turned functional illit-
crates into soldiers in about eight
weeks.
Capitalizing on adult interests
also is the premise of the unique
adult education project sponsored
by the United States Office OF
Education in cooperation with the
National Conference on Adult Edu-
cation and the Negro and the Amer
ican Association of Adult Educa-
ton, and financed by the Carnegie
Corp. of New York.

The project is being tested first

w vHEN the war ended, the
AA/ War Assets Administra-
wv ton and the Veterans
dministr ton had
nearly 100000 textbooks on hand.
Through cooperation with the
Acquisitions Department Of the
Library of Congress, these books
are being handed over to college
students who were formerly in the
armed services.
To the Government, now supplying
millions of textbooks to ex-GIs, the
savings represented by a simple
transfer of 100000 books amounts
to huge sum.
The books came from the Army
Service Training Program, the Navy
W. courses and the United States
Armed Forces Institute studies. To
sell the books commercially was i'm
practicable. To convert them into
pulp meant nearly total loss. Ad-
vanced textbooks are scarce. So,
the Library brought about delivery
of the books to the colleges.
Governments Cost Soc
On Each Book Handled
The colleges receive rs cents for
each book it gives to veteran. The
cost of delivering the volumes to the
universities comes approximately to
another Is cents. Since the average
college text book costs from 81 to
IS. the Government saves the differ
ence.
Three hundred tons of books rep
resenting 100000 volumes were sent
to various colleges in three, months.
The magnitude of the task may be
realized when it is noted that none
of the books received by the Library
had been classified or sorted. Ten
per cent were new and the others
we're in good condition.
The texts include English, mathe-
matics, economic geography, politi-
cal geography, business law, surgery
and foreign languages volumes.
There are about 5000 titles. To date,
three lists containing 1920 titles
have been sent to LIPS colleges. Al
though only 10 per cent of the COL
leges have taken advantage OF the
program, their numbers are ex-
pected to increase rapidly. The ar
rangement enables the veterans to
keep the books with the colleges
distributing them and reporting the
names of the receivers to the Vet
erans' Administration.
An example Of the need Of COL
leges for these texts occurred early
this month. A professor at Michi-
gan State College called the Library
and asked that 1000 books and 1000
aliases be sent at once to his school.
He explained the college had ex-
pected 40 students in the course and
1000 enrolled. Commercial pub
fishers were unable to fulfill the Or
der and the class was stymied.
Within two hours the books and
aliases were in the process of be-
ing sent to Michigan State College.

their own.
The experimental classes represent
the third step in program aimed
at the Nations illiterates. The idea
was initiated last June with a con-
ference in the United States Office
of Education, when educational, pro-
fessional and community leaders
discussed the problems of adult
illiteracy, its concentration in the
South, and the 10000 Negroes who
comprise better than one-third of
the Nations adult illiterates.
The second step was the institute
at Hampton, attended by such edu-
Gators as DR.. Irving Lorge and Dr.
Wilbur C. Hallenbeck of Teachers
College of Columbia University; DR..
John Dale Russell, director of the
higher education division of the
United States Office of Education,
and DR.. Paul A. Witty of North
western University.
Plans Made to Train
More Teachers as Needed
Similar Institutes will be held on
a regional basis to prepare supple
mental materials and make plans
for the training of additional
teachers needed.
The materials used in this ex-
perimental program will be non
racial and adaptable for use any,
where in the country says DR..
Charles Dollard of the Carnegie
Corp, which is putting up about
s25, 900 for the project. ultimately
it is hoped that State and Federal
grants will be made available to
carry the results of this experiment
to the entire Nation"
Raising of the Nations illiterate
adults to functional knowledge
standards will help alleviate existent
group tensions. says Dr.. Caliver.
1T is definitely first and a must
in the development of better inter-
group relations. 1t will enable
groups such as the Negro to become
better and healthier citizens and
better workers"
In addition, say DR.. Cooper, such
projects also should raise the stand
ards of living of these groups and
increase production through event
ual carryovers into vocational train
ing and better job capabilities.

CO.. Quoted from this point Of view.
Glass Is Tailored
To Fit the Student
The programs methods and ma
terials differ from those customarily
used for adult illiterates, says DR.
Ambrose Caliver, specialist fol-
Negro higher education and director
of the project. Instead of using
the old primers in many cases ex-
actly the same readers used for
first grade pupils, special material
has been prepared to tailor the class
to the student.
In a canning community he
explains, the reader might start
with the picture of a worker and
the words, I am a worker, I work
in cannery,' printed below. Adults
will be taught words and sentences
Immediately, and will master the
entire alphabet without the pains
taking A-B-C phase"
Arithmetic and writing lessons
will relate, for example, to the
workers grocery bill or his wifes
market list, instead of problems
concerning the number of apples
John and Judy have.
THE trouble with adult educa-
ton in the past" says William M.
Cooper, assistant director of the
project and executive secretary of
the National Conference on Adult
Education and the Negro, ''is that
teachers have been unable to dag
nose the real interests of their stu
dents. In this project they will
mingle with the people, even in
pool parlors If need be, to discover
their interests. They will begin
where the students are"
The teachers will discover the
primary needs and interests of the
people, the educators explain. The
