HALL OF fame
Set Aside by Congressional Committee
for Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart.

Washington, Feb. THE House
Committee on Education today wrote
the name of Cora Wilson Stewart,
County School superintendent in
Rowan County, KY, in the list of
great educators of the United States.
In report to the House the COM
mittee described the successful work
of Mrs. Stewart in eradicating il
literacy from Rowan--co. in her ia
nous moonlight schools.
The report was in connection with
the Lever bill for a commission to
investigate illiteracy in the United
States and study methods for its
elimination. In reporting this bill
favorably the committee described
the work of Mrs. Stewart IN Rowan
County as the best example of the
possibilities of ending illiteracy.
"In Rowan County, Kentucky"
said the report, "the illiteracy a
mong grown-up men in that county
has been reduced in three years
from more than 13 per cent to prac-
tically nothing. Mrs. Stewart wrote
the committee a short time ago that
here were now only six men and wo-
men in the county who could not
read and write.
The history of that achievement
is one of the most interesting and
hopeful chapters in the records of
educational progress in this county
Mrs. Stewart, whose name deserves
an honored place among American
educators, decided to make an effort
to abolish the stain of illiteracys
She called her teachers together,
outlined her plan, and called for
volunteers. ALI the teachers of the
county responded. On Labor Day,
September A, 1911, these teachers
visited the homes OF the people
throughout the county, explained the
plan and announced that moonlight
schools would be open the next ev-
eping.
More than 1900 men and women,
from IS to SO years old, were en-
