Cnnmeratlon. A First  Step in New Comprehensive Program
FIELD DAY
The annual sheep and wool grow¬ ers fleld day. which includes flock owners from Northampton and sur¬ rounding counties, as well as New Jersey, is being planned for Wednes¬ day, April gth. it was announced today by County Agent B L, Cole¬ man. The event will include demon¬ strations, a banquet at noon, and a visit to the Trexler Sheep Ranch in Lehigh County, the largest sheep producing outflt east of the Mississ¬ ippi River
According to the program, whicli Is being arranged, the group will as¬ semble at the farm ot Davia Sch¬ warU, about 1 mile north of North¬ ampton, at 10:00 a. m. where a flock ot purebred Southdowns has been established and are being car¬ ried as a skte line to the other farm enterprises. Mr. Coleman states that this is a practical dem9nstration of how a smaU farm flock can be han¬ dled. At 11:30 a. m.. the annual ban¬ quet wUl be served at the Allen House in Northampton, followed by a short business se.wion and an il¬ lustrated talk by W B. Connell, .sheep specialists from Pcnnsylvani.i State College. At 1:30 p m the grou;i will leave Northampton and vLsli the Trexler Sheep R.inch. where the Hock.^ and the methods of imnage- nu'nt WlU bc iiupected.
One of the many iocially signifl¬ cant legLsl.itive e:iactment.s st-indin^ ro the credit of the Oeneral Assemb¬ ly of 1937. in the opinion of Doctor Lester   K.   Ade.  Superintendent   of Public Instruction, Is that providing for  a  State  enumeration of   aliens and of all who are illiterate In Eng¬ Ush. The State Council of Education. at it.s last meeting, discussed and ap proved the policies, procedures, and forms under which these enumera tlons will be made, he stated. EnuMeratlon Ptannod
Thto enactment provides that in conjunction with the school census of 1938, there shall be made an enumeration ot all alletu within the Commonwealth, and of aU persons, ten years ot age and over, who pos¬ sess less than a functioning literacy in Engltoh. Subsequent enumerations of aUens and UUterates are ordered for 1940 and at least each successive flfth year thereafter. Doctor Ade ex¬ plained Emphasizing the importance of a functioning literacy and ade¬ quate education for an intelligen: assumption of civic responsibility in a democratic soctol order, this new procedure will go far toward im¬ proving the system of English and citizenship classes for immigrants and native Illiterates in Pennsyl¬ vania.
One-Third Taaght In Decade
Durtng the past decade a total of 360.000 wholly illiterate resldent.s. ap¬ proximately one-third of the total of the State, were reached by public school classes and taught to speak read, and write the Engltoh language During the aame period, by means of public school classes in citizen¬ ship education, the alien populatioa of the Commonwealth was reduced from 708.743 to 434.330, Indicating that more than 250.000 aliens had been given citizenship education and carried through the process of natur¬ alization to a citlzen.ship status. Thoasands I'ntaaglit
Nevertheless. Doctor Ade empha¬ sized, our present information a^s tj illiteracy In Pennsylvania hidicates that we probably now have at least VOOO.OOO residents, ten years of age and over, who possess less than a functioning literacy equivalent to at Inast five years of schooling "It we are to attack this problem, with its far-reaching social significance, we must know who these people are and where they live before we can reach them with our program of public li¬ teracy and citizenship education classes. It is for these purposes that the comingenum-rationa are hitend- ed." Doctor Ade declared
