From the New YGk Evening Post
The educational work OF a hitherto un-
known woman has recently received pub
lie recognition. For several years she
has been working silently and persistent
ly to carry out her own ideas in. the
mountains Of Kentucky. and now the
government at Washington has acknowI-

name is Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, and
she is the superintendent of pubic

established her moonlight schools she
struck the hardest blow that has ever
been dealt against illiteracy in country
communities.

evening Glasses in the regular public
school buildings for the benefit Of the
parents, grandparents, and sometimes

When Mrs. Stewart was first chosen
superintendent, the illiteracy of the adult
population of Rowan County, like that
of other mountainous districts in Ken
lucky and the adjoining States, was one
over ways and means. she decided to try
night school. Because of the dificultv
of travelling over the mountain paths on
dark nights. she determined to see what
could be done when the moon shone. The
result was the opening of the first moon
light school.
So eagerly did the people Of the neigh
borhood respond, that other school
houses were opened on moonlight nights
in other localities. During the day the
children of the families attended the reg
ular sessions OF the public schools In
the evening the school houses were again
open for the adult members Of the same
families. In one instance four genera
tons attended the same school, the pa
rents OF the day pupils coming at night.
