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 ISTAIUSHIt >»!«■ x > —S-: —;» ■ «*" —F « * 5 1229 D’ANIGNAC ST.

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.” WANTED!!! Specialized body repair, and paint man.

PHONE 798-8944 ][ Fast Pick-Up, and Delivery u 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 CLEAN RITE CLEANER MR. & MRS.

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.
