League for the Promotion of Public School Education in Virginia letter, January 20, 1930
Informational letter from the League for the Promotion of Public School Education in Virginia signed by the Chairman, <a href="http://aw22.org/pgm/barrett.html" target="_blank" title="biographical sketch of R. S. Barrett" rel="noreferrer noopener">Robert S. Barrett</a>. Barrett was the son of the Rev. Dr. Robert S. Barrett, an Episcopal clergyman, and <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Kate+Waller+Barrett" target="_blank" title="materials related to Kate Waller Barrett" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kate Waller Barrett</a>, one of the first women medical doctors in the South and co-founder of the National Florence Crittenton Mission.<br /><br />Text --<br /><br />Dear Fellow Virginian:<br /><br />As you have perhaps noted in the newspapers this League has been established for the purpose of promoting public school education in Virginia. It is non-political and non-sectarian. There are no dues or obligations of any kind and its membership is composed of those persons who are interested in this important subject. The simple advice that your are interested will make you a member. <br /><br />Just at the present time the League is interested in the establishment of a Secretary of Education in the Presidents cabinet, believing that it will be of great benefit to Virginia. We agree with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Capper" target="_blank" title="Arthur Capper" rel="noreferrer noopener">Senator Capper</a>, of Kansas, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._Robsion" target="_blank" title="John Marshall Robsion" rel="noreferrer noopener">Representative Robsion</a>, of Kentucky, the authors of the bill now pending in Congress, who say: <br /><br />"We seek broader opportunity for the childhood of this Nation, by guaranteeing to every boy and girl under the Stars and Stripes, regardless of race, creed, or color, at least a Grammar School eduation. If we succeed the deplorable illiteracy, now so manifest on every hand, will be abolished and intelligence completely enthroned."<br /><br />We feel that as a friend of education you should be interested in this bill and are therefore sending you a copy together with Congressman Robsion's speech which effectually answers all arguments against it. <br /><br />After you have read this leterature we will greatly appreciate it if you would write to our Virginia Senators, Senators Claude S. Swanson, and Senator Carter Glass, and your representative in Congress letting them know that you approve the bill and asking them to advocate and vote for it. <br /><br />Yours very truly, <br />Robert S. Barrett<br />Chairman

Interracial News Service, vol. 11, no. 1. January 1940
A news digest published by the Department of Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, New York, NY. <br /><br />The Federal Council of Churches was an ecumenical association of Protestant denominations in the United States founded in Philadelphia in 1908. It merged with other ecumenical bodies in 1950 to form the present day National Council of Churches. <br /><br />Masthead: "Gleanings from press releases and other sources to inform busy but sincere people of some of the things affecting the lives of racial minorities. Let's do away with walls ! 'We are all one in Christ Jesus.'<br />The Material in the News Service is given for information and is not to be construed as declarations of official attitudes or policies of the Department of Race Relations or the Federal Council of Churches." <br /><br />This issue takes a look back at 1939, noting important stories and trends. Topics include lynchings, jobs and organized labor, peonage, housing, civil rights, health, law, spots, arts, religion, literature, World War 2, and science.<br /><br />Selected notices:<br />p. 1 "The Department of Records of Tuskegee Institute lists only three lynchings for the year 1939, a sharp decrease from former years. In eighteen instances law enforcement officers were credited with preventing lynchings, saving twenty-five persons from 'the hands of mobs,'" <br /><br />p. 2 "The right to vote has been sought with new vigor by Negroes in Southern states. The Klan was revived in an effort to terrify Negroes and keep them from registering in Florida and South Carolina...." <br /><br />"The refusal of library service was dramatized in Alexandria, Va., where the public librarian called the police to remove five colored youths who sought service in this public institution. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Director of Negro Affairs for the NYA reported at a meeting of the Southern Education Foundation that only 14 per cent of 509 public libraries in 13 Southern stataes provided service for Negroes."<br /><br />"Health facilities for Negroes are notably lacking. A study in Mississippi made by the American Medical Association showed that there was only one Negro physician for each 14,221 colored persons and only 731 beds in general hospitals for the entire Negro population of more than a million in the state. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the deaths from tuberculosis are Negroes but only 40 beds are available for their care. This represents the worst type of situation." <br /><br />p. 3 "Joe Louis world's heavyweight champion, defended his title four times in 1939." <br /><br />"Marian Anderson, internationally known contralto, soared to new heights when she sang to 75,000 and a nationwide radio audience from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, after exclusion by the D. A. R. from using Constitution Hall." <br /><br />"The threatened growth of anti-Semitism has intensified the study of race relations and many church groups have broadened their consideration of race to include this problem." <br /><br />"The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues issued a statement declaring that experiments showed no characteristic inherent psychological differences to distinguish so-called 'races.'" <br /><br />"From the American Jewish Committee, New York...<br />Stimulated by the meeting between representatives of the Jewish press and Negro organizations held at the end of September, the Jewish press in the United States has undertaken a systemic campaign to improve relations between Negroes and Jews."

Spider-Man and Power Pack [National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse comic book]
Marvel giveaway comic book produced in cooperation with the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse. Children are urged to tell a trusted adult if something has happened, and to know that there are phone numbers to call if you need help. While speaking to one young boy whose babysitter has abused him, Spider-Man reveals that he too was abused as a child. <br /><br />Letter inside front cover is signed by Anne H. Cohn, D.P.H., Executive Director National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse:<br /><br />"The purpose of this book is to teach you how to protect yourself from sexual abuse and what to do if it happens to you. I shows you that even people you know and trust can touch you in ways or in places that feel uncomfortable or yukky or just not right. Or, they can make you touch them in private places. And this book tells you that if this happens, it's not your fault--you can say no--and there is help out there."<br /><br />Back cover: "The National Education Association recognizes this publication as a viable attempt to education children about the problem of child sexual abuse."

American Honda presents DC Comics' Supergirl : in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation's national safety belt campaign
Educational comic book produced and distributed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Safety Belt Campaign.<br /><br />A message from Elizabeth Hanford Dole, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation is printed inside the front cover. <br /><br />"I know you're all looking forward to gettin gyour driver's licenses soon. But driving a car is a big responsibility. So here are a couple of questions for you to think about. How important do you feel it is to buckle up your safety belt when you get into a car?
