News Note In two of her recent columns of "My Day" Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt described some interesting projects in visual education being carried on under the spon- sorship of WPA. Mrs. Roosevelt wrote, "I saw two WP.\ projects during the morning. One, a visual education project in a school, was turning out extremely good material such as posters, pictures of birds, samples of grass, trees, bugs, etc., for use in schools throughout the dis- trict. (Youngstown, Ohio.) The other was an Ohio state project. . . . Newspapers are being indexed and microfilms of the pages are being made." "This morning I went out with Mr. Qjnnor, regional di- rector of WPA, and saw a project which is being conducted in collaboration with the university. Men and women, under able supervision, are gathering source material for use throughout the state by other projects which are making visual material of various kinds to be used in public school work. "For instance, in the source project, a young colored man showed me drawings he had executed of a Dutch kitchen. It was perfect in every detail. With the kitchen went the details of figures showing the clothes worn by men and women of the period and listing the materials from which they were made. There will be an exhibit here next week (Ann Arbor) . . . and this morning I saw part of the exhibit. There were dolls in foreign and period costumes, ships, which began with the savage who floated on a log and continued up to the modern steamships, houses of various periods and many other things, all beautifully made. The thing which interested me most was a series of maps showing the condition of the soil in various parts of the state. . ." A^. Y.
