FIGHTING ILLtTERACY

The Kentucky Legislature in 1914
created an Illiteracy Commission to
extend the moonlight schools" to
every section of the state. 1t was the
first commission on illiteracy in the
world. mo illiteracy in Kentucky in
1920" said this commission. One
state after another quickly caught
the vision. Alabama sounded state
wide slogan, "Illiteracy in Alabama
the presumption of youth, said, 'No
illiteracy in Oklahoma in 1915"
North Carolina said, "All together
for the elimination of illiteracy from
North Carolina" Mississippi said,
"Illiteracy in Mississippi : blot it
OUT" New Mexico said, "Illiteracy in
New Mexico Must Co." Iowa, with
her minimum of illiteracy, began to
teach Swedes in her rural districts;
Maryland to teach illiterate fisher
men on her coasts; California TO
teach illiterate immigrants; and
twenty-five states to teach some,
ing all.
The mission of the moonlight
schools is to redeem illiterates. II
receives the semi-illiterates and 9TH
ers more advanced, but for illiterates
1t reaches out. If they do not come
to the moonlight school," it goes
to them, and they are taught at
home by the volunteer teacher or
some volunteer assistant. But, usu-
ally, they come, and come in over
whelming numbers. with an eager
ness in their hearts and determl-
nation in their eyes that know no
failure. Their tragic earnestness has
sent many a gay and thoughtless
teacher into the shadow of the
schoolhouse to hide the tears that
came at scenes so pathetic-gray-
haired men and women, flushed of
face in their eagerness to spell the
word and excel, shouts of exultation
over the feat of writing a name.

sen nsence read.-Cora Wilson Stewart
