REPRODUCED BY WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION (Illinois) WORKERS SERVICE PROGRAM A NATIONAL DEFENSE THE WORKER BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SERIES ON AND HIS NEEDS Number 1 - The Health of the Worker August 10. 1941 FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION Community Service Programs Division Workers Service Program Washington, D. C. INTRODUCTION Those familiar with the educational needs of workers, realize that it is often difficult to find material which may be used by teachers of workers' classes or by study groups of the workers themselves. Especially is it hard to acquaint these groups promptly with simple clear material on topics of current interest. These three bibliographies under the general heading of The Worker and His Needs attempt to list recent material in the following fieldss Number 1. The Health of the Worker Number 2. The Y/orker as a Consumer Number 3« Workers and National Defense These bibliographies, of use to both urban and agricultural workers, are not meant to be complete lists of the material available in these fields. Rather, a choice of materials has been made from among those in which the vocabulary used is fairly simple. Another factor in the choice of materials has been their quality of stimulating further thought on the part of workers' groups, and assisting them through their own initiative to analyze their own problems in the present situation and to suggest ways of meeting them. Dr. Carla Zaglits, who as a volunteer, generously contributed her time to the preparation of these bibliographies, was formerly engaged in public service in Vienna. Her broad experience in community organization and her skill in research and editorial work have made her contribution especially valuable to the Workers Service Program. Dr. Zaglits has had the generous cooperation of specialists in the Public Health Service, the Consumers' Division of the N.ational Defense Council, the Consumers' Counsel Division of the AAA of the Department of Agriculture, and others in Washington. Before mimeographing, these bibliographies have been checsked from the point of view of practical usefulness by the leaders on the Illinois Yforkers Service Program. Hilda W.

REPRODUCED BY WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION (Illinois) WORKERS SERVICE PROGRAM A NATIONAL DEFENSE EIBLIOGRAPHICAL SERIES ON THE WORKER AND HIS NEEDS Number 2 - The Worker as a Consumer August 10 * 1941 FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION Community Service Programs Division Workers Service Program Washington. D. C« INTRODUCTION Those familiar with the educational needs of workers, realize that it is often difficult to find material which may be used by teachers of workers' classes or by study groups of the workers themselves. Especially is it hard to acquaint these groups promptly with simple clear material on topics of current interest. These three bibliographies under the general heading of The Tvorker and His Needs attempt to list recent material in the following fields: Number 1. The Health of the 7/orker Number 2. The Worker as a Consumer Number 3. Workers and National Defense These bibliographies, of use to both urban and agricultural workers, are not meant to be complete lists of the material available in these fields. Rather, a choice of materials has been made from among those in which the vocabulary used is fairly simple. Another factor in the choice of materials has been their quality of stimulating further thought on the part of workers' groups, and assisting them through their own initiative to analyze their own problems in the present situation and to suggest ways of meeting them. Dr. Carla Zaglits, who as a volunteer, generously contributed her time to the preparation of these bibliographies, was formerly engaged in public service in Vienna. Her broad experience in community organ¬ ization and her skill in research and editorial work have made her contribution especially valuable to the Workers Service Program. Dr. Zaglits has had the generous cooperation of specialists in the Public Health Service, the Consumers' Division of the National Defense Council, the Consumers' Counsel Division of the AAA of the Department of Agriculture, and others in Washington. Before mimeographing, these bibliographies have been checked from the point of view of practical usefulness by the leaders on the Illinois Workers Service Program. Hilda 7i.
