INTRODUCTION
In an effort to assist WPA teachers in securing low cost
materials, two Reference Lists of Free and Inexpensive Materials for
Use in Aclult Education Classes were issued in January and July 1935.
Many of the items in those lists were from commercial organizations
whose supplies have "been exhausted. Therefore, this list has been
compiled to meet the same need which still exists.
Commercial organizations have become increasingly aware of the
value to them and to consumers of issuing authoritative educational
material relating to their products. Many of these organizations em¬
ploy well trained and experienced persons to prepare such materials
which are valuable as teaching aids. Although the chief purpose of
such literature is to sell the company's product, in many cases ad¬
vertising is kept at a minimum. Teachers can offset the emphasis
on any one brand by giving students the opportunity to compare a
variety of brands.
When requesting free materials teachers should state the source
of reference given, the purpose for which such material will be used,
and teaching position of the sender. Reasonableness is urged in
quantity requested. A letter such as the following might be used.

Gentlemen:
In a' "bulletin entitled, A List of Free and Inexpen¬
sive Teaching Materials, which was issued "by the Work Projects Admin¬
istration, Washington, P. C., the following materials are listed as
being available to teachers without cost:

I am a teacher of (subject) and shall appreciate it if
you can send the above mentioned or any other material which you
think would be suitable for classroom use. There are (number)
adults enrolled in this class.
Very truly yours,
A1520
The production and use of pamphlet material has increased with
the speed-up of tempo of the times, and much of this is excellent
teaching material. In addition, therefore, to material from commer¬
cial companies, a great deal of pamphlet material from other organi¬
zations has "been included. With respect to this material, teachers
need to exercise their ability to distinguish between propaganda, and
educational material and to be certain that all sides of controversial
questions are presented.
This bulletin gives only a partial listing of the vast quantity
of free and low cost material which is available. It may be supple¬
mented by referring to A Bibliography of Lists of Free and Inexpen¬
sive Aids for Teachers of Adults. WPA Technical Series, Community
Service Circular ITumber 3, Education Program Ho. 1, which contains
a wide variety of lists of sources compiled by many organizations.
