Abstract	An evaluative and developmental review of the Appalachian Adult Basic Education Demonstration Center in the fiscal year 1969-70 finds the center well-launched on a highly promising course, but greatly in need of 5-10 years of stable financial support. With a headquarters at Morehead, Kentucky, and with 13 demonstration or research field stations, the center has already exerted strong influence on adult basic education throughout the Appalachian States. A national impact is also evident. In the evaluation, answers were sought to four questions, stated first in evaluative and then in developmental form. Briefly stated, the questions revolved around the social worth of the center projects; the effectiveness of the organization and operation of the headquarters office; the effectiveness of the origin, development, and supervision of the field projects; and the success of the field projects in attaining their objectives. A three-phase inquiry conducted by the evaluation team included a library-social analysis (compiled from publications referring to Appalachia), a two-day "specialists' conference," and visits to the center's headquarters and to each of the field projects. The results of each of these phases are discussed in the report, as well as a summary and major recommendations based on the study. (Author/AJ)
