TO COMBAT ILLITERACY

The Virginia Cooperative Educa-
tional Association has launched
looking to the elimination
of illiteracy from the state by the
of rural schools in
reighborhood centres and the intro
duction of night schools.
1t is an old saying that ignorance
is voluntary misfortune, and this
was made plain in Alexandria many
wears ago when an attempt to reheVe
evistinr conditions was made by the
CITY School Board. A night school
was established for the benefit OF
Youths in their teens who were en-
ployed during the day. \ teacher
was procured ard every means posi-
HE adopted to make the school IN
torastinp. About that time moving
pictures were introduced in Alexan-
dria, and it soon became apparent 10
the school officials that miscarriage
in their good motives was inevitable
But "two or three" attended, and tie
Alexandria night school soon passed
out Of existence.
We hope, however. that the eHor's
of the Virginia Co operative EdHca-
tiopal Association will meet with
more success than that of the Alex
andria School Board.

TRUSTING WILSON

When the President stated IN his
speech in the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York on the eve OF his
departure for Europe that he would
convey to the people OH the other
side of the water the inspiring mes
sage "that an overwhelming major
ity of American people Is IN favor
of the league of nations he cor
rectly judged the intensit" OF the'r
desire that the peace conference shall
not conclude lis labors until agree
ment has been reached upon some
form of covenant by which the
nations bind themselves tagethef TO
safeguard the future peace OF the
world When, IN fuIiness CT this con-
fdence Of voicing American aspira-
ton and purpose, he pledged that ne
would not return to the United
States until the nations CT the world
were assured Of. the permancncy or
neace as the Richmond Times DIS
natch saws. he gave the ringing an
s,ycr that he should have made TO
the unprincipleG, unpatriotic partisan
campaign on the part of Republican
,,adcrs to weaken his position in the
conference BY creating false i'm
nression as to attitude of the Amerl-
can people toward the league: Hence,
the President was standing on firm
Ground when ne hurled ~ these short
sighted politicians, out Of touch WIN
the great currents of huran Thought
NOT alone of the world, Dat OF thei:
own country as well, the defiant chat-
lenge that ''No party has The right 10
appropriate this issue, and no party
: will, in the long run, dare oppose i.
The American people are not afraid
to trust the President to complete
the great work he has undertaken,
with settled enthusiasm, Of commit"
tinr this country to Il covenant de-
signed to secure permanently The
peace of the world by refusing longer
to tolerate international crimes.

The farmer actually pays premium
for bad roads. He pays it in time ex-
pended in getting to market, in value
of drafting animals and the food they
eat, and in extra hands for their care
and handling, in increased number of
vehicles and wear and tear on them,
and the decreased product of land that
has less attention and care. If the
country had system of smooth and
hard highways it would blossom like
rose, and prosperity would follow in
the wake.-Border Telephone.
