MEMORANDUM
TO:
Lee C. White
Associate Special Counsel
to the President
The White House
FROM:
Sargent Shriver
Director Sarge
Office of Economic Opportunity
SUBJECT: Proposal from James Farmer, CORE, for Literacy Training
We have studied James Farmer's memorandum of October 16,
1964, to President Johnson, with interest. Several of
our staff are intimately familiar with Dr. Woolman's
approach. If this new literacy training method can be
shown to be effective, it would promise a massive break-
through on the illiteracy problem.
We are presently developing a research and demonstration
project to test three different methods of literacy training
via use of programmed instruction. One of these methods is
the Woolman Accelerated Progressive Choice Method.
Our early plans call for the launching of a test of these
three methods, using several thousand illiterate public
welfare recipients in seven States.
Part of the test includes the use of non-certified instructors
and high school graduates as trainers. This would conform to
a test of the use of CORE volunteers. We are in close touch
with both Commissioner Keppel's staff and Commissioner Winston's
staff on the planning of this research.
