LETUs sECEDE.

~ . .
Among the many discoveries
brought to our attention by our en-
trance into the World War. we find
that South Carolina was shown to us
as she really was. True to her pre-
vious record, her sons were as brave
as any and they were sent willingly
but we were amazed when the New
York Times told the world the truth
about them: for 49.5 psr cent could
neither read nor write! Practically
half of the South Carolina men went
10 serve the state who had deprived
them of educational advantages I!
New York with it's thousands of for
elgners, had percentage of only
1876. Our educational rating is be-
low Hawaii and Porto Rico. There
is only one other state in the Union
who have more citizens who can
neither read nor write. No other
state in the Union has more honor
able history, but history does not re-
lleve the present conditions or lessen
our shame.
In 1916 twenty-three per cent of
me voters of Pickens county signed
the democratic club roll by making
their mark! So we find work with
IN our own county to do.
The summer drive against il|it-
eracy will be more thoroughly organ
ized than ever before and the de-
crease in our county per cent of il
lteracy will be greater
The county will be divided into
sections and the county organizer
VIII work from centers. The course
of study in the adult schools will in
cludc reading, writing, spelling and
arithmetic. If advisable such class
es as civics and current events NAV
oe added. The time and place will
be decided by the pupils and teacher.
| The minimum monthly term will be
twelve lessons on twelve separate
days; the maximum monthly term
twenty lessons on twenty separate
days. 1t is surprising how eagerly
and how rapidly adults master the
course given 1t is a fact realized
by those experienced in such work
f. that ordinarily an adult will cover the
work of a regular school grade in one
lay by school.
\ daily session may be from one
hour and half 10 two hours and a
half.
\ complete census will be taken
Of the entire county and the men and
women who have not had an oppor-
tunity to learn to read and write
will be given their chance
Farmers, doctors, lawyers, bank
ers, business men and all public
minded, loyal hearted citizens are
pushing this campaign.
Pickens county is going to wipe
out the blot of illiteracy!
Keep the message of the State H.
iteracy Commission in mind. "Let
South Carolina secede from illiter-
acy."
