President. the Subcommittee on Migratory Labor has. in its visits to eight States. seen direct evidence of earnest. effective action by private groups and by Government agencies to overcome handicaps and hardships faced by men. women. and children in the migratory worker stream. In my own State of New Jersey. we heard directly from those who are trying to help provide educational opportunities to these youngsters who may spend only a few weeks with us while their parents harvest our crops. An excellent example of this help is the summer school program for migrant children. started in 1947 by the New Jersey Bureau of Migrant Labor. An article by Mrs. Lefferts A. Loetcher in the December 1960 issue of School Board Notespublished by the New Jersey State Federation of District Boards of Educationdescribes these efforts. the difficulties faced by migrant children. and also records a favorable attitude toward proposed Federal legislation for migrant education. I ask unanimous consent that this very informative article be printed in the Appendix of the RECORD.
