Your chest aches and the inhamma-

free from it. Says DR.. Claxton:
"This proclamation will have far
reaching results. 1t marks the be-
ginning of a new era in Kentucky
and for all the country. For the idea
will be taken up by other states,
and the work will go on till the
curse and shame of illiteracy have
been lifted from every state in the
union.
at will be a part of the lasting
glory of the state Of Kentucky
that it has taken the lead in the
movement. 1t is the first state to
undertake to offer to all the people,
of whatever age, an opportunity to
learn to read and write, and thus
break away from the prison walls
of sense and silence within which
the illiterate man and woman must
live. Whatever else Governor James
b. McCreary may do for his state,
this proclamation and his recon-
mendation to the legislature that it
provide for the appointment of this
illiteracy commission must always
be accounted among his wisest and
most important acts"

out that work such as has been
begun in Kentucky will make much
more rapid progress when the illit
eracy bill introduced by Congress
man Abercrombie, of Alabama, be-
comes law This bill (H. R. 15470)
