How the spirit of the moonlight
school has spread throughout the
nation from it's beginning in Rowan
county is summed up in the state
ment that dozen States now are
vieng with one another for the eradi-
cation of illiteracy by 1920, the time
set for the contamination in Ken
lucky.
During the last years campaign
special attention was given to the
instruction of soldiers and their fam
lilies and the army authorities took
up the work in environments at the
suggestion of Mrs. Stewart, who is
chairman of the commission, and has
been devoting her whole time and
energies to the work. She also is
head of the National Commission.
The commission is congratulated in
the report on its economical eXpendi-
ture of the funds appropriated and
moderate expense accounts.

The attention of the Investigating

national legislation regulating the OPP

similar nature, introduced under SINH

about giving financial support to the

WHAT OF MkYSVILLE
AFTER the WAR;"
(By Iarl Dodds.)

The end of the world war brings the
serious problems of business readjust-
ments sharply TO the forefront Re-
Gently bills relating to the subject of
reconstruction were introduced in
congress. The introduction of these
bills emphasizes the fact that America
as a whole faces a peace problem of
little less magnitude than the war pro-
blem it faced two years ago.
Kentucky, as a state, Maysville, as
a city, and the Chamber of Commerce
as an organization will all be called
upon to assist in det ling these ma
tional problems as they are presented
through legislative bodies and through
the Chamber of Commerce of the Unit
ed States
The war comes to an end with the
good city of Maysville in position to
congratulate itself that it has been as
little affected commercially and indus
trially as any city of its size and i'm
portance in the United States. But
that we will have prolIems to solve as
a result of the war, no sane person
will deny.
If out of this world catastrophe can
come any such thing as blessing in
disguise, such a blessing has come to
Maysville. We refer to the spirit of
public service which has been gem
Grated by the war. Nothing like it has
been seen in this city in ages. Any
program of reconstruction should lead
off with a plan to keep alive in peace
times this same wonderful spirit Of
public service.
Evidence of continuation of this
spirit should come through active
membership in the Chamber of Com
merce of Maysyille, the city's recog-
nized public service agency, promoted
and supported by the same public
spirited firms and individuals who
have led in the splendid service it has
been our duty and pleasure as citizens
to carry on these past two momentous
years.
Through the Chamber of Commerce.
we must place ourselves in position
to meet any and all problems which
will arise from the re-establishment
of commercial and municipal activi-

were called Moonlight Schools be-
cause the terms were begun at a time
wheY the light of the moon would ia
cilitate travelling to and from the
school buildings or homes in which
fclasses met.
"The novelty of this new movement
in education in the Kentucky noun
tains soon attracted widespread at
tention and progressive citizens and
,chool people begun to see a new light
FOR the future They turned to the
county superintendent of the little
mountain county for information.
I'm 1912 eight other counties had
organized schools for illerates, and
in 1918 there were twenty-five cour-
ties, besides a number in other
States.
'In February, 1914, the General AS
sembly created the Kentucky Hitter
ICY Commission as a department of
state, the function of which was to
eradicate adult illiteraCy.
Under the law no member of the
commission is entitled to salary, but
ell are entitled to their necessary eX-
lenses. In nearly five years two mem
bers never have had any expenses re-
funded and the other two were re-
Enumerated only for small part OF
the expenses incurred by them.
mo finer example of unselfsh de-
Yotion to any Kentucky cause" he
says, ever has been shown than the
ungrudging work done by public
school teachers, who volunteered in
this service.
THE number of volunteer teachers
has increased from 1000 to 5000 this
year. 1t is estimated that at various
times 10000 moonlight schools have
been conducted in the State.
Had these volunteer teachers re-
ceived only 81 an evening, their con-
tributions would amount to over
half million dollars, the largest con-
trlbution ever made by any profess
sion or organization to any public
cause in Kentucky.
"In 1916 the work of the commits
sion had been carried into every part
Of the State and the work done in
tho MOONLIGHT gobools IN taoobinu
illiterates and cultivating a strong
school spirit had so impressed the
school people and Legislators that an
appropriation of $4,000 annually for
the maintenance of the commission
was made for the period extending
to the next session.
AT the session of the General AS
sembly In 1918 the annual appropria-
ton was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 until 1920"
Following this the organization ex-
banded and half the counties of the
State were organized with a field
agent In charge and 100000 illlterates
have been taught at least the rudi-
ments.
BY the census report this leaves
100000 lliiterates In Kentucky. but
tho Statewide organization and the
sentiment created. make the task
more simple than the redemption OF
the nrst 100000 from IGNORANCE
