Educational motion pictures on "successful living" are being shown at Negro youth camps in Alamance, Beaufort and Gates and the Raleigh youth center. However, the report adds, "volunteer or paid leaders for the expansion of this program will be necessary." Literacy classes have been established at various camps to give the equivalent of at least a fourth grade education. There still is room for expanding this program, especially with volunteer labor. For instance, a Wake Forest graduate student last summer conducted literacy classes at Caledonia. A North Carolina State College professor conducted mathematics classes at Central Prison last winter.
