No Jacket. 383 pages illustrations 22 cm ; OCLC 506609 ; LCCN 60-5516 ; LOC No LC149 .L32 ; Dewey: 379.2 ; "The first eight chapters . were originally published in the book The silent billion speak."; "the whole is the story of "each one teach one" project of teaching the world's millions of illiterates to read." ; Frank Charles Laubach, from Benton, Pennsylvania was a Congregational Christian missionary educated at Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University, and a mystic known as "The Apostle to the Illiterates." Wikipedia ; "A fervent idealist whose dream was to eliminate illiteracy throughout the world, Frank C. Laubach sought to bring Christianity to the masses by giving them the ability to read and spread the teachings of the Bible."--Patrick Hartwell ; "Living among the Moros in the Philippines, Dr. Laubach learned by practicing the presence of God that if he wanted to help these people, he must love them, not feel superior; if he wanted to teach them the Christian religion, he must be interested in their religion. There he worked out the technique of giving a written language to a people. By phonetic spelling, charts, and pictures he taught them to read and write. He sits beside his pupil, using friendliness, praise, and encouragement to teach the first lesson. He asks his pupil to teach another the first lesson before returning for the second lesson. In 1941 illiteracy in the United States was 3 per cent, which is a higher percentage than that in seven other countries. These countries had a simpler problem than ours. . . . They can teach reading in half the time it takes us because their alphabets are regular and phonetic, while our English alphabet is 'confusion worse confounded.' " Dr. Laubach has worked out, in 262 languages, a simple system which has achieved astounding results. Almost every illiterate, he says, is in debt all his life and cannot tell whether he is being d efrauded. He is teaching others to have com- passion.
