MAKE An END TO ILLITERACY

Nearly all thinking men are agreed
| 'hat compulsory attendance upon
| schools Is the proper thing and the
only point ~ issue is the manner of
putting il into effect. If 10 other
good is accomplished by ,his CAM
paign this summer. it will mike the
people think
The people AT heart are good They
! may be trusted Sometimes they are
deceived by the mouthings of CAM
patgncrs, but common sense will some
day point out the error The people
do not incline TO the wrong nor to
The weak or wicked. but they prefer
| the substantial to the cheap men and
are not always deceived by claptrnp.
illitcracy does not necessarily
mean ignorance. We have known
men that could not read nor write
that were well Informed Oh broad
public questions sand yet. even these
! were harrow and partisan in pinches
because they depended upon others
for information and were unable to
read for themselves
Everybody realizes the handicap of
tlliteracy and the value Oh education.
For even the illiterutc man Is willing
for his children to be educated to
heights above their own parent in or
der that they may the better cope
with the world and Its educated mon
fighting their way upward Knowing
how to read and write IS not bein:
educated. But man who cau read
and write MAY educate himself I'm
these days OF many books ana many
papers.
One writer says that II per cent
OF the men voting In this country ca;:
neither read nor write. The same au-
thor Gays that more than one In four
Of the white children OF the south are
not in school. Think OF It. Twelve
out Of every hundred citizens In the
United States cannot reuo their bal
lots.
II they cannot read their ballots
j
to the issues which the ballot repre-
sents?
Pubs men do not always feel free
to express themselves, In campaigns
because their ideas will ne retaiied
in distorted manner to the uainform-
ed. For that reason many men suited
for official station will noe offer for
Office and cheap and undesirable men
slip in
There Is no immediate prospect of
improvement in the percentage OF
children III schools. IL IL is reported cor
rectly The panacea for this evil. as
for many others that confront us. is
compulsory education. Compel the
attendance of children upon school
exercises. This Is done by a number
OF states and by some great foreign
governments. notably. Germany, whose
complex organization might long ago
have disintegrated, but for the edu-
cation Of the people.
1t may not be wise to starr or with
state wide form. in fact, IL has been
our opinion that local option plan is
what is needed to fit the finances OF
the state. We nre willing 20 see 1t
tried in Anderson county. Educate
the children Of the poor. GIVE them
n start and in the years TO come they
will make good" and will bless the
state that aided them

The old time fiddIers of Guthrie

OF the three entertainments given

contest last night was il eYorv way
the most unique.
One of the interesting features OF
the evening was the left handed fid-
ding of Mr.. Cheney, whose skillful
welding of the bow with his left
hand, called forth great applause
from the large and appreciative au-
dience
Mr.. Singer, aged 80, played the old
tunes with vim and enthusiasm
that would convince any psychologist
that neither mental nor physical skill
need become impaired in old age.
Mr.. Mathis, age 73, gave a mono
logue, before beginning his playing,
that was better than many heard on
the vaudeville stage.
Mr.. Morris playing was fine and

both the old and the new were joined
together two real young men also
played the old tunes as they have
learned them, in the new way.

Of starting the Health Colony club of
Pittsburg, Pa, and the life lost has
been the means of saving and reliev-
ing many Others.
"a year ago young man in Pitts
burg was told that he had tubercu-
losis. The state tuberculosis sanitari-
um at Cresson, Pa, was filled upa and
he was notified that he could not hope
to be admitted for three weeks. With
no place to go to and no home to
shelter him, he walked up to tall
building, took an elevator to the top
and threw himself from the highest
window.
The tragedy made an Impression
upon the minds of certain women OF
the city and they set about at once to
guard against any recurrence of such
an event The Home Colony Club
was organized as an auxiliary to the
Cresson Sanitarium, with the purpose
of filling the gap between the dag
nosis of case and It's entrance to
one of the state sanitoria.
During the few months of its ex-
istence the colony club women have
raised $500 for the establishment
of colony to house and care for un-
fortunate victims of the white plague
while they are waiting for admittance
10 the regular institutions.
With this money ten tents will ac-

period of waiting to enter the hos

The colony has been popular from
he start. Filling an absolute neces-
'ity, demonstrated by the case of
he youthful suicide, the temporary
detention quarters have become so
veil liked that their inmates frequ-
ntly prefer to remain in them rather
han go into the sanitarium.
Money TO maintain the colony clubs
camp is raised in var
Gus ways. Donations are solicited
rom individuals and entertainments

as not been a lack OF funds. AT the
ame time the women gladly receive
fits of blankets, comforts and cloth
