A SONG OF PRAISE AT SUNSE1

AS the sun was sinking low in the
west,
And the woodland aisles grew dim,
A little bird sat on a slender bough
And sang his vesper hymn.
Twas a song of thanks for the gentle
breeze,
And the shade of friendly tree,
For all the joys of the day just past,
And those of the day to be.
He flew away-and the slender bough
For moment lightly swayed,
And then in the silent, fast-gathering
night
A fervent prayer I prayed.
1 prayed for thankful and trusting
heart,
That will sing, like this minstrel
brown, -
Of the bright day past, and the
brighter to dawn,
When life's sun, at eve, goes down.

NO ILLITERACY IN 1920.

The South Carolina School I'M
provement association has appointed
November 18th as "No Illiteracy
Day" in the State, and letters navo
been sent to county officials, college
presidents, ETC., throughout the State
to this effect, but it is impossible for
any movement to succeed without HELM
from the press.
In 1910 one-fourth of the population
of South Carolina could not write
their names. BY 1920 we want rot
one illiterate in the State.
Kentucky taught 100000 men and
women to read and write in two wears; !;
18 other States have started a sim
liar fight against ignorance. Shall
not South Carolina keep up with other
States?
Of our 166 mills, 90 had night
schools last year, with over 5000 en-
rollment. Besides these were a num-
ber of city and rural night schools.
rms was a good start, but if we are
TO nave no llliterates by 1920, when
the next census is taken, we must do
better.
The press in other States has been
generous and faithful in it's assist
ance. Will you do the same for South
Carolina? Urge teach .rs, advanced
pupils, and all educated people to
teach at least one illiterate, poll
tlcians to vote an additional tax for
the maintenance of night schools, min
listers to preach on the subject Nov.
18th, JailorS to start school for their
prisoners, and arouse the public in
general.
Will you for the next three years
keep this subject so before the pub
lie that we need no longer be ashamed
of our State? Success depends large
ly on your cooperation. When we
succeed in 1920, will your paper have
right to claim it's just share of the
glory? E. Julia Selden.
