The annual dancing carnival given by
Miss Cora B. Shreve's class is always an
event of tremendous local interest. not
only because II engages the talent OF
several hundred prominent local children.
bur because II also offers a genuine terp-
sichorean treat.
The carnival is announced for two sue
cessive evenings. May II and 10. at the
New National Theater. when THE Foun-
tain of Youth" big electrical spectacle.
will be presented, with Miss Adrienne
Shreve in the role of the beautiful prin-
cess who is born from the fountain with
her galXay of serving nymphs.
The production affords splendid oppor-
tunity for many of the most brilliant
members of Miss Shreve's class, includ-
ing little Miss Mary Eaton. who will head
the Bird and Butterfly ballet. Miss Eaton
will be remembered for her most appeal
ing portrayal of Mary Jane in the recent
revival made of Mary James Pa by the
Poll Players, as well as for her terpsi-
chorean feats in Miss Shreve's former
carnivals.
This season marks the fifteenth of these

FOUR ECLIPSES IN 1914

Four eclipses, two OF the sun
and two of the moon are to take
place during the present year.
The first is scheduled for Feb
ruary 24th. 1t will be an annu-
lar eclipse of the sun, invisible
in North America. The only
persons who will have an oppor-
tunity to view it at all will be
the residents in the most south
ern parts of Patagonia and New
leland. and they will see it on
ly as small partial eclipse.
During the second week in
March there will be a partial
eclipse Of the moon, which will
be visible in practically every
part of the United States and
Canada. In August will come

A vote of thanks was expressed
by the House and Senate on the
motion of Representative Coke,

Saufey moved that the regular
order of business be suspended
and that the bill providing for
the illiteracy Commission be put
on its passage. This was done
without objection so that Mrs.
Stewart had the pleasure of wit

MRS. STEWART MAKES
ELOQUENT SPEECH

Following the eloquent APP
peal made to the Legislature
last week as a Committee of the
whole, by Mrs. Cora Wilson
Stewart, of Morehead, to blot
illiteracy out of Kentucky, the
House of Representatives pass
ed by unanimous vote the bill
providing for the Kentucky H.
litcracy Commission.
Not in years has any speaker
been accorded such a demon
stration of approval as was Civ
en- to Mrs. Stewart at the con-
clusion of her address. She
completely swept the Legisla
ture off its feet by her eloquence.
Not only did her eloquencc ap-
peal to the members but the in
disputable facts she adduccd
were equally .as impressive
When Mrs. Stewart became
County Superintendent of Row
an County several years ago the
county was one of the highest
in the state in point of illiteracy.
She invented the moonlight
school as a cure. 1t worked
wonders. As a result, out of the
1852 people in Rowan County
now old enough to read and
write there are but four Rowan
County persons who cannot read
and write and two persons have
moved into the County from
Morgan County since the last
term of the moonlight school of
1913 making total of six per-
sons. There are seventeen per
sons in the county incapable of
learning The total of persons
in the county who cannot read
and write are twenty-three so
that in point of non-illiteracy
Rowan County leads the state
if not the world. Not only has
this system been adopted by
many of the counties of the state,
but many of the states of the
union as well have accepted it
as the method of blotting out
