WHO STARTED MOON
LIGHT SCHOOLS.

We see where Mrs. Alice Spencer
geddes Lloyd, of Boston, who in 10

Kentucky, and started a small set
Element has had circulated through
the press of other states, the state
ment that she is the founder of the
moonlight schools. 1t may not mat
ter 80 much that she challenges the
claim of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
whom the world honors as the real
founder of the moonlight schools,
but it does matter to Kentucky that
a Kentuckian born originated and
gave the system to the world instead
of a Boston woman who saw this
state some FIVE years after moonlight
schools had been in operation, and
after other states had adopted them.
Also, it matters always that truth
shall prevail. Mrs. Lloyd has a
small center in Knott county where
she Is attempting to make settle
ment. 1t Is new. 1t is yet in the
experimental stage. The press agent
will not strengthen it by making alb
surd claims. Kentucky does not
seek to claim that she founded Bos-
ton. It would be as true as for this
woman from Boston to pose as the
founder of moonlight schools.
) In our office there is a picture OIL
Mrs. Stewart, the real founder, taken
shortly after she inaugurated the first
moonlight school. Mrs. Stewart is
Kentuckian, a great educational
figure, and should not be robbed Of
the honor which is justly hers.

these charges and insinuations on the
character of my son, We're started for
no other purpose than to get him a.
