Library Gets $90,000 Gift Offer
The Augusta-Richmond
County Public Library has
received a bona fide offer of a
gift of $90,000 from a private
citizen to build a branch
library in South Augusta. The
balance of the funds needed
to build the projected
SIBO,OOO building must be
raised locally on or before
October 1, 1971. Raising
$90,000 in three and a half
months presents a real
challenge to the residents of
Richmond County.
The need for a branch
library in the southern portion
of the county has long been
recognized by library officials.
In a publication of LONG
RANGE GOALS adopted by
the Library Board of Directors
in June 1963 it was noted
that “heavy bookmobile usage
in (South Augusta) is already
an indication of such need.”
The Board’s Development
Committee, working with the
Augusta-Richmond County
Planning Commission,
determined that the best
possible site was near the
intersection of Peach Orchard
Road and Lumpkin Road.
According to 1965 population
estimates, there were 27,099
people living within a 2-mile
radius of that point with
considerable potential for
further growth within the
2-mile radius. Census figures
for 1970 show a population
of 38,557 for this same area.
In 1968 ■» written statement
of building requirements was
presented to the Richmond
County Board of
Commissioners. At the same
time Library Board
representatives requested an
option on a suitable site on
county-owned land in the
Peach Orchard - Lumpkin
Road area.
Early in 1970 the County
Commission granted an option
on land at the corner of
Lumpkin Road and Daniel
Avenue. The architectural firm

of Woodhurst and O’Brien was
asked to draw preliminary
plans for the hoped-for
facility based on the
statement of requirements
drawn up by the library in
1968. Since that time further
progress securing this branch
library has been hampered by
the lack of funds. This spring
a campaign for funds has been
conducted by several South
Augusta groups including the
South Augusta Woman’s Club,
the Birch Grant Club and the
P.T.A. Council. To date, the
campaign has netted $5,300.
The need for a branch
library to serve the expanding
South Augusta area is
self-evident. The Main Library
at 902 Greene Street, the
Wallace Branch at 1237
Gwinnett Street and the
Appleby Branch at 2260
Walton Way are each six miles
from the site of the proposed
South Augusta building.
Bookmobiles make 91 winter
stops and 107 summer stops
in the area every three weeks,
However, bookmobile service
does not take the place of a
library open daily, with a
reference collection, reading
room, a meeting room, and
other library services.
Edwin C. Wade, president
of the Augusta-Richmond
County Public Library Board
stated yeaterday. “This
generous offer of a gift of
$90,000 by one civic-minded
individual provides an
opportunity which Richmond
County citizens cannot afford
to pass up. Away or ways
must be found to raise the
matching $90,000 on or
before the October 1
deadline.”

Back to the
Great Outdoors
In these days of longer
holiday weekends and long
er vacations, I should think
that everyone would wel
come this opportunity to en
joy the one big freedom of
all-outdoors. How about tak
ing your family camping?
Sounds like fun and with
proper equipment ... it is
fun with help from Sears.
Take Your Entire Family
First items to consider are
your shelter (tent) and food
(cooking and storage equip
ment) . . . with these basics
you can travel most any
where. Sears has a full array
of tents, sleeping bags, food
chests, liquid containers,
camp stoves plus many ex
tras designed to make your
camping comfortable. What
ever the size of your family,
Sears has the equipment
suitable. All you add is fun.
Once your basic necessi
ties are provided, the next
thoughts should turn to rec
reation . . . boating, fishing,
swimming, hiking, ball play
ing .. . you name it, Sears
has it. Take boating for in
stance: Fiber glass boats
such as the Gamefisher and
the Jonfisher are designed
for real fishermen. These
are easy to maintain and so
lightweight they transport by
car-topping. Sears has alu
minum boats and canoes,
too. And don’t forget the
Safety Vests that meet Coast
Guard requirements. There
are sizes to fit each member
of your family.
For many folks a camping
trip means fishing. So what
ever your fishing skills re
quire, Sears has suitable
tackle to make your trip
more fun. I’d suggest you
see the Ted Williams "240''
Spinning Reel plus assorted
lures to go into your new
tackle box.
OK, so you're not a fisher
man or boatman, maybe
you’re not even the camping
type. Nothing wrong with en
joying yourself at home with
outdoor games such as cro
quet, badminton or horse
shoes ... just to name a few.
Whatever you do, choose at
Sears Sports Center for the
best ideas in outdoor fun
and recreation.

28th in a Special Series
Two weeks ago we referred
to two concepts which are
changing the nature and
pattern of education in the
United States for the years
ahead --- performance
contracting and schools -
without - walls. Both of these
ideas continue to receive
increasing exposure in the
news media throughout the
country, and are widely
discussed by interested laymen
as well as professional
educators.
For several years now some
of the most perceptive
students of education have
been concerned with the
failures and weakness of our
traditional system. Men like

Taylor, John Holt, Herbert
Kohl and Ivan D. Illich have
all brought to public attention
some of the fallacies of
conservative, traditional
education in this nation. Some
of the criticism of these men
has been rather sharp and
devastating, and some more
conservative educators who
defend the status quo feel that
the attacks have even been
vicious. But they have put the
spotlight of public attention
on several matters which
deserve discussion, and their
major purpose has been to
stimulate concern for and
study of our whole
educational system.
What Are Basics?
Ivan Illich in particular has
had some most piercing com
ments about the failures and
shortcomings of the old way
of doing things. He has
recently published a book
called Deschooling Society
(Harper & Row), and that
volume has percipitated a new
wave of critics and defenders
on the educational scene. His
basic thesis is that the
institutional structure of
schools as we have known
them in the past is not only
unnecessary but actually
undesirable. Thus, thoughtful
students and citizens are
compelled to face a basic
question: Is education without
schools really feasible?
His ideal concept is based
upon a combination of
institutions under which men
would “depend upon
self-motivated learning instead
of employing teachers to bribe
or compel the student to find
the time and the will to learn,
and provide the learner with
new links to the world instead
of continuing to funnel all
educational programs through
the teacher.”
Change of Focus
His ideas involve a number
of changes in the structure and
institutions which we have
known in the past. The
combination of these ideas is
News-Review - June 17, 1971 -
In Higher Education
By Dr. DuPree Jordan, Jr.
designed to meet the basic
needs for learning. He says: ‘I
believe that no more than four
possibly even three -
distinct ‘channels’ or learning
exchanges could contain all
the resources needed for real
learning. The child grows up in
a world of things, surrounded
by people who serve as models
for skills and values. He finds
peers who challenge him to
argue, to compete, to
cooperate, and to understand;
and if the child is lucky, he is
exposed to confrontation or
criticism by an experienced
elder who really cares. Things,
models, peers, and elders are
four resources, each of which
requires a different type of
arrangement to ensure that
everybody has ample access to
it”.
Os course, it could be
argued that these four areas of
resources have been a
fundamental part of the
educational process
throughout history. Regardless
of the institutional structures
we have had, or the formality
of our schools, all of us have
certainly developed our own
learning patterns from things,
models, peers and elders. The
basic distinction which Illich
and some of these other
educational critics have
brought into the open is the
contrast between a society of
coercive institutions, as
opposed to a society of

autonomous individuals.
More alert educators are
expressing concern that
individual freedom must be,
balanced with the most
effective and productive
institutions to utilize to the
maximum the enormous
human resources which have
often been wasted in the past
They rightfully pointed out
that we have reached a time in
our history when we can no
longer afford such human
waste.
Some of these basic ideas
get back to the two
far-reaching concepts we have
discussed earlier
performance contracting and
schools-without-walls. Both of
these are being explored
carefully by some of our
oldest, most stable traditional
colleges and universities. The
prestige which has always been
entirely on the side of the
conservative patterns of
traditions and status quo in
the past now is shifting tc
more experimentation an
open investigation of the
new ideas. We will have m<
